I read the negative reviews, and realized that these reviews are written by people who are far from reality.
The watches are needed to keep an eye on you, so that no one leaves the stove on and nothing catches fire. The hostel is old, such communications as plumbing and electrics cannot be completely restored and made modern as in new buildings, so hot water often disappears, banal repairs of rotten pipelines. To complete all the work, you will need to close the hostel for at least a year.
That's probably when students form when they have to pay $ 300 for an apartment instead of 30 rubles for accommodation.
DD is normal, the janitors are also normal. Of course, they can flare up, but so can all people. We were lucky not to meet cockroaches. The location of the hostel is also good, close to the metro, close to tram tracks, a dining room, lots of shawarma bars, a recreation center, near a 24-hour Riga, a 15-minute walk to the university.
In general, the hostel is decent
I would like to share my positive experience of living in hostel number 1. From the very moment of my arrival at the hostel, I was pleasantly surprised by the adequate and friendly attitude of the janitor and the head.
The janitors of the dormitory number 1 show high professionalism and are always ready to help students. They kindly answer any questions and always try to solve any problems that arise. Thanks to their responsiveness and understanding, I always felt protected and confident that my needs would be taken into account.
The head of the hostel also deserves a special mention. She shows exceptional attention to detail and strives to create comfortable living conditions for students. She is always ready to listen to our suggestions and wishes, and does her best to satisfy them. Thanks to her organizational skills and responsible approach, Dorm number 1 always maintains a high level of cleanliness and order.
In addition, Hostel number 1 provides various amenities that make your stay even more comfortable. The communal kitchen is equipped with all necessary cooking equipment, and is always clean and tidy. There is also a laundry room and a living room where students can spend time together and socialize.
The administration of the campus. The oldest dormitory, which has received a modern renovation. Comfort from living conditions can be obtained with a timely reminder from the caregiver. Study indoors according to your mood.
