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.

Problems Galore at This Hotel
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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice hotel and central location
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.
