Located on the eastern edge of the Old Town, the three-star Monte Kristo is a modern hotel offering 41 predictable rooms at reasonable rates.
Although the hotel blends in with the older buildings on Kaleju iela, the Monte Kristo is a new establishment, having opened in 2006. Thus, the hotel provides the basic comforts and amenities that you'd expect in a new place, like an elevator and air conditioning.
The décor was a little too regal for our tastes. Deep red curtains and gold-embroidered bedspreads are off-set by cream-colored walls and orange and brown carpet. Private baths are clean and straightforward, and some are equipped with bathtub. All are outfitted with a mini-fridge, safe, telephone, and cable TV.
Three sides of the hotel look out to pedestrian-friendly streets, which is charming, but could get loud with open windows. (We inspected a room at street level, which we found to be a little too close to the street action. Ask for something upstairs.)
The hotel is a five-minute walk to Riga's train station, and a nearby tram stop is convenient and buzzing with activity.
Breakfast is included in the room rate. Additionally, the hotel operates a small outdoor café that overlooks a simple park and tram stop.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the Monte Kristo neighborhood
The "Old Town" is the medieval heart of Riga, a maze of winding cobblestone streets, stony churches, and public squares. Most of the city’s main tourist sights are located inside the Old Town, including the Cathedral, St. Peter’s Church, House of the Blackheads, Parliament, and the city’s Castle.
The Old Town is unsurprisingly also home to a wide range of restaurants, bars, shops, and hotels. We focused our hotel hunting on properties inside the Old Town, as this is the middle of the action. During peak summer months, the streets will be noisy with nighttime revelers, so light sleepers may wish to ask for rooms off the street—or in another neighborhood.
