Reviews for Tiger Hostel
Review 1：Receptionist wasn't too sociable.
Review 2：Location was great and not too far away from city center. Also our room was pretty spacious. Also there were two bathrooms at our floor.
Review 3：Maybe the system in the showers (guests need to hold the button all the time during the shower to get water)
Review 4：Aside from the price and location nice personal and OK beds.
Review 5：Perhaps lacks some atmosphere.
Review 6：Good facilities, showers, comfortable and clean throughout. Close to train/bus station and the old town. Pretty blondes at reception.
Review 7：minimal kitchen facilities - no cooker, only kettle and microwave. Not enough toilets or showers for number of rooms if occupancy high.
Review 8：Great location, large clean comfortable room. Good value for money
Review 9：We booked for 2 nights but we left after the first night. Smelly room-mate shared the mix dorm. No ventilation at all and windows are extremely small. Suspicious men wandered in common area. The floor of the shower room was dirty although the maid did the cleaning frequently.
Review 10：The receptionist was very friendly.
Review 11：The bed doesn't seem to be cleaned on regular basis...heard a complaint on bed bug.
Review 12：Wonderful location to the old town and major public transportation. Very close to many parks which gives excellent opportunity for brunch picnic:)
Review 13：You have to press and hold the button for the whole shower in order to keep water flowing, which is tiring. Warm water is nice though :) You cannot cook in the kitchen as there is actually only microwave but not stoves.
Review 14：Staff is nice and helpful. Beds are clean and comfortable.
Review 15：Minus: No stove Microwave in kitchen not work Shower is ok, but hot andcold water mixes up wi-fi works ok, buy not in last night
Review 16：+ : Location (bus,train station rimi supermarket until 24-00 in train stasion) Good personal Safe cell (ask personal - it exists) 7-room in separate block - convinient because I lived for 4 nights in 7-room : 3,2,2,1 - for me it is all ok.
Review 17：Very close to the train and bus station. Across the road there is a lovely park and there is a shopping centre. 2 supermarkets across the road as well.
Review 18：No lockers. No luggage room
Review 19：This hostel does not have a luggage room or lockers, even thoughbooking.com says it does. I asking for a refund from booking.com. Worstcase, visa must cover my loss.
Review 20：Not much interaction with staff little info from the staff on what to look for and see although maps are available. Some of the staff needs lessons on how to smile :-)
Review 21：The place is very clean which is a must.located between the old town and train station out of the noisey center and looks over the park. Center 5 min walk shopping center at the train station.
Review 22：They have no luggage room! Really? I have to put my luggage at the bus station. Luckily the cost is very reasonable! 0.7EUR for the start and 0.4EUR for following hour. The bed is extra soft or or too old to use. The spring cannot support the weight. You will feel like sleeping in a pot hole. Soundproof is a problem here, if your neighbor is noisy then...
Review 23：Location is closed to both train and bus station and so the old town. The room, kitchen and toilet are clean. The decoration also lovely.
Review 24：Do you enjoy animated conversations - complete with singing and clapping! - at 5:30am, discussing the cheapest place in Europe to buy a bottle of vodka? Do you have a distinctively loud voice and don't pause in between sentences? Then Tiger Hostel is the place for you! The bedrooms kitchen, common table and bathrooms are all within 1 meter from one another and the walls are thin enough so you can even participate from the comfort of your own bed without misunderstanding a single word that's said. I found the staff helpful and bed comfortable but left early in search of a decent night's sleep.
Review 25：Bath room is so small and not tidy enough. No common room, but only a kitchen with no cookers and gases.
Review 26：The roommates are all really interesting guys. Perfect location.
Review 27：The showers you always have to keep press the buttom for the water to come. It is annoying to take a bath like that.
Review 28：The bed is good and staff is very nice. Good wifi but NO computers!
Review 29：Things were generally a bit rough round the edges, but pretty good as hostels go. Admittedly, there was very little personality in the interior, but that resulted in things seeming quite professional - which suited my needs at the time. During the weekend, partygoers disturbed my sleep
Review 30：7 nights for 35 Euros was amazing. Comfortbale beds. Plenty of space. Plenty of hot water. Good kettle. Never had to wait for the WC. No outside noise.
Review 31：the only challenging thing was to walking with shoes in the hostel.
Review 32：the location is very good, the hostel is next to the railway station and bus terminal. Good for a weekend travel.
Review 33：I missed a assistance for carrying the luggage
Review 34：Not for the first time there, as it`s close to the Main Bus and Train Station, as well to the bus stop from and to the Airport.
Review 35：Very kind lady at the reception, location is close to Railway Station and Bus Station, 5 mins walk to Freedom monument and old city, Maxima supermarket and Citadele Cinema (Stockman) are near
Review 36：The woman who's working day time. No service minded and just thinking about money. Not one small attempt to make you feel welcome.
Review 37：The girls who works in evening/night time are amazing. They make you feel welcome and like home. They also do all to try help you with everything you need. They are the best.
Review 38：We went there for a weekend with four girls. The price/quality is very good. The location is excellent. Nearby the old city and the central station. Friendly staff. I would recommand this to everyone if they are planning to stay in Riga.
Review 39：shower facility: push button, water only comes out less than 2second, one hand need to stick to button, i felt like a disable person during shower.
Review 40：location, close to train station, shopping mall(supermarket), coach station, not far to old town. Nice reception Smile always. good value
Review 41：I wish the kitchen had a stovetop. A microwave for "cooking" just doesn't really do it.
Review 42：Not too many people were staying at the hostel when I was there so it was quiet and peaceful. The toilet rooms and the shower rooms are separated and plenty of each so there was no waiting for the facilities. Only a few blocks from Old Town and there were plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, bars nearby. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the bus station.
Review 43：Charged full price for what I booked, even though I was placed in a cheaper room the first night. After arguing for 10 minutes I was too tired and just wanted to get to sleep. The receptionist was rude and argumentative and told me what was such a big deal over just a few euros that she was ripping me off for. The beds are extremely uncomfortable. Stay away.
Review 44：The hostel doesnt has a washmashine. When you are with children it's a problem. The water in bathroom stuck during bathing
Review 45：The hostel situated near the central rail way station and bus station. Into the railway station is 24 hours Rimi-market. Opposite the railway station is fair, where each morning you can buy everything fresh.
