Great place to stay
Great location in old town, close to public transportation. Very tasty breakfast. We had junior suite, that was really nice: fridge, ac and jacuzzi in our room. The hotel restaurant offers tasty food for a very reasonable price.

Monte Kristo Hotel
The Monte Kristo hotel is located in the old town and walking distance to all attractions. We were greeted warmly by the girl at the front desk. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable. The breakfast had a variety of items. Our only complaint about the Hotel Monte Kristo is how dated it is. It really could use a good renovation. The carpets were quite dirty and old and the room seemed very gloomy due to the dark colours and design of the curtains and bedspreads.

It was a terrible hotel. Elevator can not go to the floor which you stay. Need carry luggage by yourself. The rm has strong toilet smell. The carpet is so dirty that you do not have words to describe. Totally terrible hotel

Excellent location, but avoid in hot season
Superior location for old town, central market, shopping, restaurants and public transportation to airport and beaches.
The conditioning is very noisy and inadequate in power so if you are at all sensitive for noise and hot room at night, this may be not correct choice.
Breakfast was satisfactory in this price range.

This hotel is quite close to the train station, so can save hauling your luggage over cobblestones of old Riga, and it’s cheap. The building, rooms and amenities are very dated, not nice. It’s hard climbing into the tub, because it is so high, and took forever to drain. The front desk person has some nasty attitude, and the breakfast restaurant is dungeon-like; food was ok.

This hotel is right in the centre of Riga and very close to the No.22 bus stop that goes to the airport. It is just a few mins walk to the Central market and all the delights of the Old Town, It's quirky and the rooms are dated but there was everything you needed including good WiFi. Downstairs in a cellar type area, they serve a good breakfast, and in the evening there is a good restaurant menu, very reasonably priced

Reception staff helped a lot with our reservation, it hadn't arrived from Ebookers, but they gave us similar room and allowed to sign in earlier. Hotel is situated close to trainstation and old town.
