“Why pay more?”

It is immaculately clean and comfortable with very helpful staff. The location isn't too far a walk from the city attractions or is easily accessible by tram, though if you do want a taxi, make sure you use the hotel approved ones otherwise you could be stung. At these excellent rates, I would definitely return.

“Bargain modern hotel”

Lovely modern hotel a short tram ride away from central Riga. Almost looks out of place surrounded by old wooden buidlings. Rooms included flat screen TV and trendy marble sink. Hotel prides iteself on being the cheapest hotel close to Old Town but not actually located in Old Town. Took about 25 minutes to walk to central Riga/Old Town (just followed the tram tracks) but much easier just to ride the tram as the journey takes about 8 minutes. Would recommend this hotel - excellent price as well. I have paid more for hostels and I paid for this place.

“Good, clean quality hotel..... not as dead as the name suggests!!!”

Brilliant hotel 4 tram stops from the main area. staff v v friendly, rooms clean and very new. bed strangley low down and tv small and fixed high on wall. We have had better breakfasts but this was certainly not the worst. would definately reccommend this hotel for budget travel thats not a hostel.

“For the price absolutely acceptable hotel”

It is a simple hotel, rather new, clean, English speaking personal at the desk. Price and hotel/rooms fit. Area of the hotel is bad. The are is badly recommendate. Taxi price agreement with hotel and smileTaxi company is quite ok.

“basic hotel”

The facilities at the Dodo hotel are modern but basic,it does however present excellent value for money as compared to other hotels in Riga.It is a 15 minute walk to the Old town but the tram stops outside every 10 minutes so that is only an issue after midnight,a taxi costs about 6lats.

“Good v.f.m. but read the traveller's tip”

Clean rooms, friendly staff, value for money. Very quiet too, until a horde of rampaging Finnish schoolchildren arrived that is. Breakfast is Ok if you like pancakes, it's worth having at least once to see the automatic pancake machine in action! The hotel is situated in the rundown area of town, it looks worse than it actually is, but it is about 30 mins walk to the old town.

“Good hotel for the price and qualty”

However, the 20 minute walk from the old city (where most of the bars, shops, and historical sitse are) is creepy at night. If that bothers you, don't stay here!

“Dodo Hotel”

Hotel is modern, clean and basic but to be fair doesn't scrimp on comfort or style. The bedrooms do get very warm, infact baking hot but thats not a reason to not stay here. Its approx 1.5km from the old town only a 6min or so tram ride (20min walk) so very easy to access the centre of town. Breakfast however is terrible, go into town for breakfast as it isn;t cheap and all you get is cold pancakes and uncooked sausages. The coffee shops in town are excellent even if they are a little more expensive. Please be aware though that it is on the outskirts of town so the surrounding area is run down (not the hotels fault but incase you are expecting nice views etc). All in all this hotel is perfect as a base for sight seeing, and for those that dont travel for uber plush surroundings. I would definately stay here again and recommend this hotel.

“Allesbestens...”

Also Preis-Leistung nicht zu toppen...Nettes, kleines Frühstücksbuffet, Taxen immer vor der Tür (natürlich nur S-Klassen!!!) aber abends würde ich da nicht wirklich alleine und zu Fuß raus gehen...
