Roy & Anna are always accommodating, and friendly, and the ambiance of people from all over the world you get to meet while staying there is always an adventure!
Great place and close to many restaurants, shops and travel agencies! Everything is open-air so the mosquitoes are having a feast!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
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!
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.
The owners are very helpful. It is steps to the beach and Hopkins Pier. There are a few restaurants in the area as well as an ATM, super market, and pharmacy. The cooking area is well equipped and its a friendly place with a communal atmosphere .
The beds are comfy, the staff is helpful, the grounds are clean and well cared for, and the wifi is strong enough to work remotely. Love love love the Dodo!
Cool hostel just a few steps from the beach. Nice little rooms and good shared bathroom facilities with large shower stalls. Lounge and kitchen area are nice and well equipped.
Was clean and well worth the price
Management was very friendly and had lots of helpful hints on what to do including expats in the area
Enjoyed my stay
I loved the vibe here eclectic mix of people and everyone very friendly. Place was well kept I upgraded after 2 nights when I saw the private rooms on top and figured I waNted to spoil myself. Team was very helpful in figuring out the village and what’s worth to do. I would definitely return here happily.
