Great location. Clean rooms. Wifi not always working. And very impolite staff. They don't bother if you tell them there is no hot shower, but only cold water. Not helpful if you ask anything else either.

Let's start with good points: - localization- really close to old city, shops; - price; - really clean and tidy. And that's generally all good things that I can say about Tiger Hostel in Riga. Disadvantages: - poor equipment in the kitchen (no place to cook, only microwave...); - you need to switch on showers every 10 seconds because it's... More

Prior to travelling reading the last review on here and a number of other review I was initially worried we would have made a horrible mistake and would be left in a hell hole. How wrong I was and the purpose of this review is not only to make people staying here feel at ease but also to make people... More

As experienced travellers used to hostel and equivalent accommodation in Eastern Europe this hostel was without question the worst experience. Rowdy fellow guests were screaming and laughing until 0530am - exacerbated by non-existent walls - rooms are separated by paper tin partitions, 10 bed dorms are sharing noise with twice as many people. Signs at reception regarding no alcohol policy... More

What I expect from Riga is not what I expect from other cities as I go there for dentist only, so I also don't expect the same from Riga hostels as I would elsewhere. Tiger Hostel doesn't have the "coolest" staff and it has never felt like a back-packers place which I usually prefer, but this is just perfect for... More

There are rooms across the hall. You have to ring the door bell for reception to open the front door if you wanted to use the kitchen or sit on the sofas in at the front desk. Kitchen had a microwave, refrigerator, and a couple of table of twos. The train station was across the busy street as well as... More

Booked on-line for a 5 berth room. We arrived 2 hours early and reception was happy to let us put our luggage in the room while it was finished being clean. Surprised to be given a room that sleeps 8, so we had plenty of room for my wife and I and 3 active boys aged 13, 10 and 7.... More

Sometimes, the devil is in the details with a review. I arrived at Tiger Hostel at around midnight and rang the bell to get in. No answer. I rang again, still no answer. I gave it a minute or two still nothing. About five minutes later, the girl came back from her smoke/snack break and let me in. Not acceptable... More

Just between the Old and the New Town, by the Riga canal, within walking distance to almost everything one needs! Airport bus, boat landing, train station, local food market, all within easy reach. Spacious rooms, equipped kitchen, clean showers & toilets - friendly staff. What else would you ask for? Free tea and coffee, too.

We stayed here in October 2011. The hostel is around 10 minute walk from the main bus station and Old Town. The hostel is very easy to find as its on one of the main roads with a bar below underground. The reception and hotel is very clean and basic. The staff were very helpfull. We had a triple room...
