Dodo Hotel, which is built under the principle of a low cost hotel, is only 15 minutes away from Riga’s Old Town on foot. It’s the perfect hotel for families and groups of young people who are off to visit Latvia on a tight budget. Just because the hotel costs less that other hotels doesn’t mean it gives substandard services, though. Dodo Hotel is just minimal in every way. It gives its guests the comfort of a standard hotel, but doesn’t overcharge their clients by making them pay for services which they didn’t avail of.
