Amazing place! Located in the most central part, has everything you need to: no locks needed, kitchen facilities, even earplugs. Very kind and helpful girl at the reception! Also the design inside is not very modern so you can feel a bit of historical vibe. Can recommend 100% and I hope to stay there the next time I will be in the city.

The Happy Hostel features a modern kitchen on each floor, a small shop, a TV room with DVD player, and a safe storage room. A washing machine and ironing facilities are also available.

The property was spacious and very clean, the hosts at the property went above and beyond for us after our original hostel cancelled our booking when our flight was delayed which meant we wasn’t able to check in until after midnight, we did inform them of this but they cancelled the booking anyway. We was in a foreign country and no where to stay, we managed to book the following night at happy hostel but due to it being after midnight we couldn’t book online for that night and we just took the chance and went to them to ask if we could stay that night as well and the host was more than helpful and they only charged us the going rate and not extra for the last minute booking. The host was really friendly and made us feel so welcome.

    The hotel is half youth hostel, half budget hotel, and it's very informally run but excellent value for money. Don't be afraid to call the number on the reception desk as the (very friendly) staff are often away doing other things. It is perfectly located for all of the big tourist attractions in Old Riga and the Central District.

    Very friendly and helpful staff, atmosphere at the hostel felt like visiting a family, free coffee and tea, cozy interior, great location in the centre of Riga, big space with kitchen to meet and talk to other people staying at the hostel. We even went to the bar all together on Friday evening! I recommend it to everyone, especially solo travellers who like to meet new people from different countries on the way!
