YouthMents - Student Hotel

Such an amazing place to stay! Clean, cosy and cheap! I'm thinking about staying here for a whole month tbh🤭. The rooms are very clean, you've got everything you need. Downstairs there's a vending machine and a whole small "shop" with snacks, drinks and premade food! Everything has great prices. You take whatever you want and pay for it yourself. So cool! We need campuses like that in Bulgaria too. And the bed felt just like at home. When I woke up my first thought was "where am I", it felt so great. 10/10, love it! It's a great place especially if you are a student.

Maybe the buses had a very long break between eachother (like 30-40 mins in the morning and in the evening), but that's okay. The taxi is also great in Riga.

Great place for long or short stay. Excellent location with bus, tram and train station near.

It would be great if it has an elevator but I can't complain because the price is great.

No breakfast included, and location is okay, the quietness of the facility is exceptional.

The bed, and perhaps a tv set in the apartment.

The room was spacious. Considering it was a private room with its own toilet and shower, the price was very reasonable. Although I didn’t use them, the room came with an umbrella and earplugs. Two large towels were provided. There was a partition between the shower and toilet, so the toilet floor didn’t get wet. The room had a large desk, a closet, and hangers, providing plenty of space for storage and work. It included a fridge, kettle, microwave, and a small kitchen area. There was also a shared kitchen. I didn’t use it, but there was a washing machine in the common area, which apparently requires a dedicated app for payment and operation.

The property is a bit far from the city center. Tram No.10 takes about 15 minutes, but trams seem to run only 2–3 times per hour depending on the time of day (this should be double-checked). Fortunately, the tram stop itself is very close. The internet was unstable — sometimes exceeding 100 Mbps, but at other times not connecting at all. I was told that a 1 Gbps line is shared among 90 rooms, so I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who needs a consistently stable connection. During my six-night stay, there was no hot water for four days (all but the first and last day), which was quite inconvenient. It might have been an exceptional case or outside the facility’s control, but since no explanation was provided, I can’t say for sure — still, I feel obliged to mention it. There are only a small supermarket and a café nearby, so it’s not very convenient for meals or shopping. You’ll generally need to head into the city center.
