Du får det som du betaler for. Lav standard, men verdt hver krone. Posisjon er sentralt, vennlige resepsjonister, rent bad og toalett, og helt fint rom. Det er gammel bygg derfor noe dårligere luft inne. Hvis du skal ha en enkelt kort opphold, nær alt du kan ikke gjøre feil ved å velge Central Hostel.

very nice staff, lovely rooms and the atmosphere of being home: it’s a cosy place. I really like that coffee and tea are for free and that you have the possibility of using a fridge to store food and cook by yourself. The decoration is really nice as well and the staff is very friendly. Furthermore it’s not in the loud city centre but you can reach it by feet within 15 minutes. Also around this place there are many lovely cosy bars where you can meet lots of local people and also prices are lower than in the old town. I really liked my stay and would always come back

I spent two nights here. The hostel is close to the rig main bus station. This location is ideal for you if you want to travel to Vilnius or talk. It takes around 15 minutes to walk. Additionally, it is close to the rig train station, where you can take a train to Jurmala in roughly 10 minutes. The old town of Rizla can be easily reached on foot. Overall, I'm satisfied with the good cleanliness of the accommodation, the welcoming personnel, and the affordable price. It is unquestionably worth it for UR 19. 80 for a single room. There are some restaurants and a market nearby.

We highly recommend this place, I highly recommend this place. We enjoy our stay here. The location is in the city center, close to all buses and trains. The room is perfect, check-in is quick, the staff is very helpful and friendly.

We highly recommend this place to stay! Everything was fantastic! Despite the small size, it's a very nice hotel. The personnel was extremely friendly. Checking and checking were smooth. A big clean and cozy room with three beds, which was crucial for us because while we were sleeping with the child, we felt really at ease. Special thanks for the hotel's impeccable cleanliness in both the room and the entire hotel.

This place was recommended by a friend who lives in rig, although I frequently avoid staying at hostels. The hotel was wonderful and offers great value for your stay in rig!. I recently spent two nights in rig, and a friend who lives there recommended this location to me. How lovely it was surprised me. My private room was small but spotless, with thoughtful touches like hangers, a mirror, and good lighting. The bathrooms were consistently clean and well-stocked. But the highlight was the receptionist a young woman who was busy but never annoyed people with questions. Sadly, I wasn't given her name. I arrived hours before checking out and found a location out of the way to do some computer work. I particularly liked that the hallways to different rooms were locked, which improved safety and security. The small kitchen was the only drawback I could identify, however, I didn't need to spend much time there, so this is barely a significant issue.

It looks much better in the pictures, everything is smaller and older in real life, but the hostel staff are very friendly and helpful, tea and coffee are available, no queue for the shower and good wifi connection. So overall it was ok.

Good room for the price, sort of apartment like with shared bathroom and common rooms. Nice to have access to kitchen and free coffee in the morning

Good value for money. I strongly suggest a private room, not a hostel bed.

Daha önce kullanılmış olan yatak çarşafı değiştirilmemişti. Yıkanmış çarşaf hem temiz kokar hem de dokusu farklıdır. Fakat yatak çarşafı bu özelliklere sahip değildi. Personelden değiştirilmesini talep ettiğimde önce nerden biliyorsunuz değiştirilmediğini tabiki de mağazadan yeni almadık deyip, manipülasyon yaparak benimle tartışmak istedi. Kendisine yorgun olduğumu, dinlenmeye ihtiyacım olduğunu söyleyip, tartışmak istemediğimi talep ederse extra ücret vereceğimi teklif ettikten sonra çarşaflar temiz olanlarla değiştirildi. Misafirle tartışmak istemek, onu neredeyse sorguya çeker gibi sözler söylemek, dahası o misafir ana dilde konuşmuyorsa, bir ülkede yabancıysa, tolere edilemez. Temizlik; 5 yıldız üzerinden 2, havlular temizdi ve genel alan fena değildi. Çalışanlar; 5 yıldız üzerinden 2, çarşaf için extra ücret almadı. Ardından koridorda bağıran erkekler, kadın-erkek tartışan insanlar…Uykumdan o seslerle uyandım. Çok rahatsız ve tedirgin edici bir konaklamaydı. Kısacası tavsiye etmiyorum.
