My husband and I stayed at the Naughty Squirrel for 4 nights, and I wish we could have stayed longer! Everything about this hostel is fantastic, we honestly couldn't ask for more. The staff are all incredibly accommodating, friendly and helpful who go above and beyond to help you out and make sure you enjoy all your time here in... more

WE have been traveling for almost 10 weeks now - from Japan to Riga, this is by far our most favorite stay! All the staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was laid back and a lot of fun. Beds were clean and comfortable and the location was prime! Would no doubt come back and stay here again!!! more

I have undertaken extensive travelling around the world and have to say this is one of the best hostels i have stayed in. It has a relaxed atmosphere with a good common room but most importantly it has great staff (particularly Ieva, Eva, Jarrod etc... ). Riga is a great city and staying in this hostel has certainly made it... more

Hi, I just left the Naught Squirrel Backpackers after 6 nights and must say it was hard to tear myself away from there. The staff made me feel very welcome, the facilities are first class and they made me feel very welcome. Its definitely one of the friendlier places that Ive stayed at and you would be hard pressed to... more

Dear backpacker, after experiences in more than a hundred hostels all over the world I have to evaluate this one as the "worst case" to choose. If you cancel your booking at this hostel right in time, even so do not be surprised finding a debit of a one night´s stay (without having a bed!) on your credit card account.... more

Hello, My name is Jarrod, the owner and manager of the naughty squirrel backpackers in Riga, latvia... This is the one and only case where we have had any problems with over 1000+ bookings this year already. We accepted we made a mistake with charging his card when he had already cancelled. He wasnt taken out of our system and...

We (boyfriend and I) stayed at the Naughty Squirrel for a couple of nights mid-week. We were initially disappointed to learn that although they advised us there was parking available, this meant that we could pay 9 Lats a day to park in a public car park about a kilometre from the hostel. (We later learnt that this was standard... more

On arrival we were succombed by the friendliness and smiles by the staff. In the adjacent meeting room were other travellers, greeting anyone who entered with a smile. The staff ensured we knew where the best locations were, whether we wanted to enjoy the culture or the nightlife. The rooms were far beyond our expectations for the price. The pictures... more

This place is well worth a mention. In all my travels i have never found nicer staff, cleaner rooms or cheaper beer. It was worth going to Latvia just to stay there. The best hostel ive ever been to. Plus LOCATION,LOCATION, LOCATION cheers everyone. more

The Naughty Squirrel is a typical backpacker hostel, but none the worse for that. Its location can't be beaten, on a cobbled street in the heart of the Old Town, a few minutes walk from one of the main tram and bus stops (which serves the bus to the airport among many others), and only a few minutes more from... more
