I had a brilliant time at Cinammon the hostel's hostel. The permanent team of staff were helpful, friendly and supportive, the other volunteers were lovely, the working hours were respected and all tasks were straightforward and were explained properly. Any little issues were taken seriously and solved appropriately. I enjoyed the events that the hostel arranged, such as folk dancing and pub crawls. The shift hours were fair, and you can request preferred days off which they will do their best to stick to, and there was plenty of time to explore Riga, some other places in Latvia, Tallinn and Vilniu
