Boutique Hostel Cesis-X

Good location; normal kitchen with everything you need; good offer/price ratio.

The stove in the room smells of smoke - the smell of soot is so strong that it is impossible to sleep normally; mess, dirtiness; the behavior of the staff does not meet any standards.

The location was great, the kitchen had everything needed, the room was big.

Felt more like an Airbnb apartment as the host stayed the night in the living room, drinking wine all night and listening to loud music which was uncomfortable but the rooms were soundproof, indeed, so that helped to slightly tune down the sound. Everything else was great!

Very good location!

The flat was cold and dirty. I felt like I was an intruder in someone's house, rather than in a professional accommodation. Couldn't lock the door so didn't feel safe or secure. I left 1 night early, because I didn't feel comfortable.

I guess the location would have been good?

Walked in the entrance to the building, stacks of old double beds in the stairwell (I assume a bedbug problem) walked into the hostel to a pungent smell that reminded me of stale urine. Immediately was put off, no reception just a phone number on the wall, looked around the place was filthy. The room was disassembled, no idea where I was intended to stay? It looked like the place might have been nice if taken care, of but it looked like a flop house for drug addicts. I just turned and walked away. Contacted the manager about a refund, no reply. Contacted Booking.com, the put in a request for repayment, nothing. This property should not be listed on Booking.com, it is currently a scam, until new management. Beware of low prices and nice photos, and good reviews. Always check most recent reviews, I found after booking my stay…

Location and the concept of this hostel is awesome. Nice and cozy, my room was super warm as well!

Place felt a bit dirty, I could find peace’s of food in my room after checking in. Same with the bathroom, no toilet paper in in the morning.
