YouthMents - Student Hotel

The staff (Sintija) is so helpful and kind. Many thanks for that! I guess this is nice for people that like to socialise since they have common room to chat.

The comfort and privacy.

The lack of elevators.

I stayed 40 days in the economy room. The room was small but well equipped and comfortable for daily living. Common areas were always clean and organized, with nice facilities like laundry, a gym, and a lounge with games and a big TV. The location is quiet with parks nearby and good public transport, though a bit far from universities and attractions. Staff were friendly and helpful the few times I needed them. A great choice for students and young professionals.

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.
