Reviews of Boutique Hotel Monte Kristo 4 stars

Amazing location and great food for breakfast as well as restaurant for dinner

Rooms are very outdated and small. You don’t get the basic amenities like shampoo and conditioner but rather some antibacterial wash that they say can be used as anything.

I liked the room with sauna and jaccuzi! Room is big and bathroom with sauna is big also! The sauna is spacious and warm! There are lots of cupboards and chairs, things fit very well. There is also a big fridge!

This is a first floor room and the windows open directly onto the street.

Good service and lovely breakfast. Very close to old town.

Great location, close to bus station. Tasty breakfast and splendid room overall. Special thanks to the kettle in the room!

breakfast was good and the staff.

Very tiny rooms and outdated.

Good value for money.

Little bit oldish hotel. Breakfast area small.

The location is the only positive aspect.

Ugly, dusty, dark and crowded. Under no circumstance is this hotel 4*, 2* at most. We were given a different room than the one booked over the Booking platform. The reservation was done 6 months prior, so it's not as if they did not have time to prepare. The room size we booked was ~58 sqm, in reality had less than half. And was supposed to include (as per the confirmation detailes): toilettries, a safety deposit box, an iron and a hair dryer. In reality there were 2 soap dispensers out of which one empty, a safety deposit box you could use if you had a key, no iron and a hairdryer that was a safety hazard. When addressing the matter to the person at the front desk we were told that what we see on Booking is informative only. And that the pictures are old - as if that was common knowledge. Superior room here means it has a bathtub. They offered to fill in then empty soap dispenser but we prefered to buy ourselves. Also, clean bettings we laying around on the hallway, in front of the room, one day ahead of check-out. The breakfast was disappointing too.

Nice room

Outside Terrasse a but dirty

Decor and ambience; friendly staff

Pillar in the way in our room making it small room for 2 people; breakfast room far too small and options not great

Easy accessible to the Old town in Riga, to Central bus station, to Central railway station, to the Market

Good location

It was on the first floor, without possibility to open window for fresh air, only air conditioning

Staff support and breakfast was excellent

Size of the room

Location is great, receptionist was helpful and friendly.

- very outdated room - room had some weird smell. There was no window to open instead there was door to go outside but it was locked (had glued key in the lock). Was very hot too but air conditioning wasn’t working either. Me and kids had really bad night when we stayed there (room11) - Room itself was very dark - Towels were very old too in the bathrooms, I would throw them away long time ago - breakfast was packed and it could be organised a bit better or at least separate hot and cold food in different areas so it would be easier to get something you need without standing in a long queue just for extra jam or pastry. - had to go back to reception to ask for the safe key, I think it should be offered straight away when we were doing check in

Perfect location!!!

Renovation done a long time ago. Poor sound insulation

The room was quite large and clean with big windows. The bed was comfortable and it was quiet (especially with double windows to the street). The staff were lovely and the breakfast was good. The location was excellent - right at the edge of the old town, near the bus stop for the airport bus (No. 22), and a few minutes walk from the bus and train stations.

I probably would not have written anything here if the hotel wasn't vastly overrated as 4-star (on booking.com anyway). It was fine and comfortable but more like 2.5-stars, imo. My reasons: Impossible to sit on the toilet without the lid falling onto your back, Poor quality liquid soap and no shampoo or body lotion, Small and tired looking shower, Thin towels with threads hanging off them, A small stereo cd player! A old style tube tv, Only two teabags provided - no coffee or milk (description says kettle and a tea/coffee maker), the "juice" at breakfast was low quality, whereas the rest of the breakfast was pretty good.

Perfect location, very clean, very good variety for breakfast. And the best of all is the hotel staff positive attitude. The staff of the hotel is amazing and very knowledgeable and friendly.

All was very good

Location excellent for exploring the city. Good breakfast.

Room was as described with a roof window, however, there was a very flimsy see-through curtain over it so it let in a lot of light from dawn which made sleeping difficult. Need to bring an eye-mask

Easy walk from train station abd then into Old Town. Room was large, AC worked well,nice to have fridge and lift to upper floors. Breakfast included, friendly, helpful staff. Enjoyed the covered outdoor space for an afternoon drink.

Older hotel, lighting in the room could be brighter. Room where food for breakfast is provided is tight due to tables there as well. Can sit in 2 other rooms which are tight as well, or sit outside. Luggage storage is in one of these rooms so not a locked space.

Very nice and clean..interesting furniture...for breakfast you get plenty of options

Cute, quirky hotel. It met all our needs. Excellent location. Located in the old town, convenient access to Old Town sites, central market, bus station and step to bus stop for bus that runs to Airport. We had a Jr Suite, room was spacious, bed was super comfy and good size bathroom. This hotel isn't shiny and new but we loved the old time character of the furnishing in the room and in the lobby and halls. Breakfast had a good selection to fill you up for a day of sightseeing
