Reviews of Cinnamon Sally Backpackers Hostel

Super friendly hostel, encourages people to be social but not too party or alcohol based and a mix of travellers, so didn’t feel out of place a little older. The breakfast is excellent both for the food and also meeting others. Female dorm was good, though with the top bunk any movement in the room makes it shake. Shelves and power well thought out for each bed. I met some cool people and slept pretty good! Thanks everyone!

There are only four toilets for 50 plus people. It would be good to have somewhere to put things on in the room as if you have a top bunk and a top locker you have nowhere to organise or unpack your things. If you’re sensitive to noise the common room is loud from the female dorm.

This lovely hostel was just outstanding. So many details that made me happy and super friendly staff. Very nice price for the quality and location. I recommend this hostel to every traveller.

Love the breakfast! Breakfast is included with a wide range of selection.

The kitchen area is a bit small. The dorm room is just next to the main road, it is noisy and you need to close to window. The common room is comfortable but it will be perfect if it is isolated from the corridor leading to dorm room.

The staff were very polite and helpful but there was a short male staff member who was constantly trying to communicate with the girls and it didn't look nice from the outside. Breakfast was good and it was nice to have waffles.

It was perfect I can highly recommend to everyone who want to spend their time with amazing people in a cosy, home vibe place. Don't miss out on friday and saturday evenings the Pub Crawls!!

Excellent hostel with lovely free breakfast

Privacy curtains in the dorms would be nice

Very nice hostel. Everything is top notch, the price/quality ratio is very good with the breakfast. Accommodating staff, good facilities etc. The hostel is also quite social, without being a party hostel, and they actually make effort to break ice between strangers etc.

Big social area and a lot of activities. Very good breakfast included.

Maybe the best hostel I ever stayed

The location was good as it was near the central train station and the parks of center.It was very clean, as there is rule to take off the shoes. Also there was a coffine machine to use it whenever you want.

For a hostel the breakfast was decent but there isn't so many variety

Amazing hostel! The staff are super friendly and it's very sociable. The common area feels really welcoming would highly recommend

Location close to all city attractions.

Toilet could have been cleaner.The pub crawl that we had was very lame. They took us to a library for beer and some boring live music.

Very helpful and friendly staff, the pub crawl was very worth it to meet other people on travel and even working there, felt welcome in general. Bathrooms and rooms always clean, pretty decent breakfast and free towels included 🤠

Great location, within walking distance to most attractions. The beds and rooms are comfortable, and you can safely leave your luggage. Breakfast is tasty and sufficient. The showers are clean and well-maintained. The staff are very helpful. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit.

The only downside is that the price is a bit high.

just making and meeting new friends is easier as the environment forces you for it.

If you need to arrive to Riga at night, you can check other hotel or hostels around. This hostel can't give 24h reception although written. they sent me message about locked box password for keys, but i couldn't find any keys inside. Luckily, someone didn't sleep and opened door. Alsoi they gave me wrong key at night and i couldn't use locked boxes inside rooms. Because of this, my money inside pocket was stolen. I can write more but i think these infos are enough for new potential travellers.

Beds: very comfortable beds and there is a shelf on the wall for each bed to put some personal items. However, there are spacious lockers for other items; Kitchen: it is a good place to socialize and to eat. Snacks and warm beverages available. Free breakfast makes it even more convenient to wake up early, eat and socialize; Bathroom and shower: they are new and there are all necessary things for hygiene, like shampoo, etc (so there's no need to bring everything with yourself); Cleanness: no shoes inside, the staff takes care of the cleanness too

Location: it is difficult to notice the entrance of the hostel since a fast-food restaurant occupies both sides of the entrance. The building where the hostel (apartment) is located is quite busy. There was even also a false alarm in the building at 5 am. Check-in time: If you arrive at the city early in the morning, you will have to wait outside since the receptionists aren't there 24/7 and the hostel door is locked. Maybe contacting the hostel beforehand can help.
