New Hotel on Tram Route to Old Riga
Apparently, DODO means GOOD SLEEP in French and I slept well every night from day one! DODO Hotel provides good accommodation at a very affordable price. The accommodation is fairly basic but there is a full en-suite (albeit very small). There is a lack of wardrobe space and coat hangers and there are no net curtains even though my window opened onto a courtyard where hotel staff regularly walked. Hotel desk staff speak at least three languages (Latvian, Russian, English). There is always a TAXI waiting outside the hotel entrance even though the hotel is quite small. For daily travel into Riga there is a frequent tram service at a cost of 0.60 Lats (75 pence). The hotel, although new and modern, is situated in a rather run-down area of Riga with cobbled streets and many unoccupied buildings. However, I did not feel it was an unsafe area of the city and happily walked out at night. The hotel has FREE WI-FI which was a real boon to staying in touch with friends and relatives but it was not always reliable. On two days there was also problems with no water supply to my room for short periods but I do not know if this was hotel problem or a more general problem. The rooms do not have a safe either but there is a locked storage room for bags (free of course) and also a safe haven with staff for smaller items (such as a passport). I was very happy with my stay at the DODO Hotel and definitely recommend it!
This hotel has free wi-fi. If you have a wi-fi enabled mobile phone, it is possible to keep in touch for free over the internet or use SIP to make free phone calls back to the UK. Staff are happy to write shopping lists in English so you can shop more cheaply in the local shops. They will also keep any food you have in a refrigerator as there are no fridges in the rooms.

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.
Traveller's tip on saving a few bucks
if you want to save money and stay in a clean modern but basic room then it is just the ticket.
