Pros:

The outside looks a bit dubious, then inside is rustic but clean. It's offers the exact value for money you would expect.

Cons:

Do be aware that there are no lifts.

Good stay, but a little bit expensive for Riga
Pros:

Good breakfast
Good bedroom

Cons:

4 floors without elevator. Around 1000 steps to go from the street to the bedroom.
Cleaning stuff starting cleaning quite early (9:00 ) when instructions said they started after 11:00
Not good isolation to other rooms or to the street.

Pros:

Много добра локация, любезен персонал, поддържат чистота на ниво.

Cons:

Липсва асансьор и е шумно в стаите, които са с изложение към улицата. Но когато споделихме, че шумът ни пречи, ни предложиха друга стая.
