After we arrived we straight bookend third night. Could stay longer! Whole Hopkins area were nice, good restaurants and friendly helpful people there. It’s safety to hitchhike there. Very nice people at the hostel too, nice shared areas. Easy to get to Cockscomb in the jungle to maybe see some jaguars. No AC at rooms so that’s something you need to get along without.

Great place and close to many restaurants, shops and travel agencies! Everything is open-air so the mosquitoes are having a feast!

Loved staying at the funky dodo hostel, all the staff were super kind, great location for walking around town, a short stumble to the Carribean. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

My first stop ocean side after a week inland and I loved it here. Ive stayed in a few hostels around the world and it was someone at a hostel in Byron Bay Oz that mentioned this place to me in 2018 so I just had to stay . A brilliant hostel with everything you need and not just for backpakers, it has not just bunk rooms but private and family ones too. Met some great people and am still in touch with them. roy was on hand and happy to help even inbetween constantly trying to better the place working hard on DIY etc. Close to every part of Hopkins its a perfect place to stay.

It's what you would expect of a backpackers hostel. Great location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again. Only negative was limited parking, but then again, it was a backpackers place.

Fantastic stay as always. This hosts are friendly and will help with any “problem or issue” you have in your trip. Rooms are clean and the atmosphere is great! You have the choice between private rooms or bunk beds. The hostel is places in the town center of Hopkins, 30 seconds away from the beach and with restaurants, bars and shops very close by.
