Stayed here for 2 nights, like going back in time with design of rooms old stero and dark wooden furnishings. Friendly staff only had breakfast here was nice.

I only stayed one night at this hotel although I was booked for six. I transferred to a better hotel. Hotel is in need of renovation.

Love the interior and the decor! Big beautiful suite with jacuzzi and sauna. Personally I think they could improve the room by adding a comfortable armchair, and replacing the A/C with a newer and less noisy one. The ancient TV and CD player was useless for me personally, but that's OK. Very friendly and helpful staff! Breakfast was tasty, but served in a cramped space. But once you get your food you can take it outside and enjoy it in the cozy backyard, which is very nice. The location of the hotel in the old town is excellent, with lots of restaurants, bars and shops nearby.

Great stay, a little dated, but that added to the charm of this place. I would stay here again.

Our room has good hot water. TV needs more English channels. Going to bathroom in the night very dangerous for some as there are some steps to washroom! Steps have nails sticking out, can cut or rip your clothes!! Walkable to the Old town. Very close to the shopping center, has a supermarket with cooked food/drinks/fruits, open every day until 10pm. Central market also short walk, more eating options there. Easy to walk from main bus station or railway station.

I was fortunate enough to suite on the ground floor reserved for me. The room was beautiful and in the style of the town Riga itself. Art Nouveau, early 19th century. It had a private sauna and a whirlpool bathtub. The service was adequate, the breakfast tolerable(considering you,re in a small hotel in the balkans now…) So far so good. But the music they played om the terrace outside my room! 160 bpm party music starting in the afternoon and going on all evening. Not loud, and not too late, but the majority of the guests in the hotel was middle aged and above. When asked if they could change it to a softer kind, they blamed the hostel outside strangely enough. They did turn the music further down thougn.

First, hotel's on a no traffic street. Had to lug my bags down long cobblestone road. Then, hotel entry has 9 steps to take bags down. Aleksander did so for me. Odd man. Interrupts repeatedly. Not polite, but has good, helpful side. Wanted elevator. So, placed in room on 1st floor, but with steps going down. Then given 2nd room. Too small. Offered superior room, 7€ more per day.Took. TV didn't work. Excuse was change in cable. Blamed govt banning Russian TV channels. Went on all week. Fridge didn't work until fixed. Safe hard to see keyhole in dark. Steps in room. Breakfast OK, but in cramped room, everyone pushing, hard to move. Artur better staffer, but when I returned from short trip, having been offered same room at original rate, he gave papers to sign at 50% more. Insisted I'd booked it that way. I showed Hotels.com paperwork and also online proof it was same price as before. He was very annoying. I held my ground. He called supervisor. Much conversation and then admitted staff member made mistake. I'd cancelled one reservation listing me with 2 guests, then rebooked. Too complicated for other staff, who chose canceled reservation for 2nd booking. All staff seemed unmoved at difficulty in getting cab to go to bus station, first saying it would meet at Gallery Ctr, really far to walk with bags. Finally, I just walked where cab dropped me and vowed never to return. Note to myself: Ask hotel if on street where cars can take you to door. Also, no rooms with stairs.

Well positioned friendly staff could do with a larger dining area it’s very cramped and dark no street noise but walls are thin you hear every footstep and voices from the corridor overall very good value for a weekend away

Ok

Staff are very friendly and helpful hotel is excellent for location to local bars shops and transportation,rooms are very nice clean ,second time here I cant recommend this hotel enough.

Very clean, welcoming. Room was small but it was ok for one night. Good breakfast. Great location. What could be improved- new towels, more tea & coffee in the room.

Service was great only negatives was the breakfast was always the same could of done with a change and the main door kept being banged as people came in but that’s not the hotels fault

Felt like the quintessential Riga experience

Good property close to shops ,restaurants and is located in old town easy Acess to tram ,supermarkets and walkable distance to mall friendly staff in reception and bar

Best location

We had an excellent stay in Riga and this hotel. Good located and really serviceminded personell. We where leaving the hotel very early morning and the staff made us take away breakfast.

Excellent

fantastic location. we stayed in a room for 3 of us, plenty of room considering what we needed. there was a big fan in the room and windows that opened, and we were comfortable even when it was 33 degrees in riga. beds comfy, and everything is in walking distance. easy to get to via public transport. staff were friendly. only downside is that the breakfast selection is limited, but as expected for a bed and breakfast and it suffices. would stay again if i went back to latvia.

Convenient, public transport and bus to airport one minute away. Right in the heart of Riga. Shame about the noise coming from backpackers hostel (Naughty Squirrel) and its karaoke. Rooms small and no luxury, but beds were comfortable, the main thing. Breakfast was fine, but leave the confined space and go and sit outside on up terrace!

Riga is a beautiful city to explore, and Monte Kristo Hotel is very central. We wanted to see the architecture of the old town, eat at good cafes and restaurants, try local beer and food, and explore both modern and historic art.

Very cool hotel, great decor, friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Location is absolutely amazing!

So the location is the most best of this place as its right across the street from Bus station and kinda in old town of Riga. Room was decent and even amenities. The receptionist Aleksandrs needs to get training on hospitality and tone down his old grumpy man attitude. As I have been working in hospitality for over a decade I know how important and nice it is when the person serving you has nice manners and is friendly. This man was even saying "I think the paint splashes on the walls are not paintings just decor" - I would never talk such a nonsense about business where I work. And what kind of attitude he showed me when I came down confused - there is a room 31 and 331 on same floor, a bit stupid right, why it would be there unless there are three hundred rooms on same floor, but the receptionist in a very rude manner said "you must have been trying room 332, Im not that kind of man to try completely wrong numbers. After demeaning me as a school boy that there are rooms 31 and 331 he still had attitude and no greeting or thanking for stay. If he was in abroad he would have HR meeting and be trained how to talk to customers. Hes place is in basement with other old, dusty things, like his manner and presentation of himself. Hope this will be read by owners and people thinking of staying there. Very disappointed about fellow receptionist.

For trang spisesal

This was an excellent choice for 4 friends staying just one night in Riga. It’s very close to the bus line and walkable to downtown and many restaurants. The restaurant in the hotel is charming. I was disappointed that Latvian Stew was not on the menu. The hotel provided us with a bagged breakfast as we had an early flight to catch. The staff was friendly and attentive.

We had a junior suite room, which was spacious with a table and chairs in a cove next to the window. The room was nice, although awkwardly shaped. The bathroom was large and modern with a huge Jacuzzi tub. The bed mattress was a bit too soft for our liking through and we could feel the springs inside. The breakfast area is small with the tables tightly packed. There is a good variety of hot and cold items to choose from and the staff did a great job in keeping everything topped off. The downside is probably true of just about anything in the old town--the street life is noisy. So you'll have to be willing to contend with that. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Monte Kristo Hotel and would recommend it.

Clean, quiet, safe. Lovely breakfasts. Kind service. Great location. Very good price.

Simple but good. Rooms are very small. I stay there frequently.

Very comfortable and traditional hotel. Very comfortable bed and breakfast was probably a medium in terms of selection and quality but worth the add on. Very good location next to central station for travelling out and about.

Amazing hotel, lovely staff,very good food. Excellent location ,Very low price . 100 % recommended.

Good choice to stay in Riga, great location in the old city with great breakfast.

The beds were hard and there was a noise in my room from I don't know what that I couldn't turn off. Other than that the cleaning was fine, the only good reason to pick this hotel is the location and the price.

Walking distance to the city center. Lots of good restaurants and bars nearby
