Set in Hopkins, 100 metres from Hopkins Beach, The Funky Dodo Backpackers Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace.
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
Cheapest budget hostel in Hopkins which attracted a friendly group of travellers. Good location near the beach. Free coffee in the mornings. Kitchen to make your own meals. Bars and restaurants nearby.
Amazing location, in the center of Hopkins and close to the beach. Friendly welcome, with elaborate explanations about the place, the neighborhood and potential activities. 8 dorm room was well equipped with fans per bed (and 2 general ones) (no AC) and curtains. Sanitary block was clean (hot showers via solar heating) and definitely enough toilets and showers for the hostel's capacity.
The hostel was set up in a very cute way, with a nice central courtyard with many places to sit. There were enough showers and bathrooms so we never had to wait. We also really liked Roy (owner), and he took the time to carefully answer all our questions.
It was a pleasant place, great location, we had private rooms and sat in the common area to relax and eat. There were backpackers as well but they were friendly and respectful. All in alll great value!a
- clean and quiet private room with 2 fans which was easily enough
- great shared bathrooms with solar heated hot water
- good kitchen facilities
- cheap drinking water (or you can use the tap water, which is safe)
- close to supermarkets and the main bus stop out of Hopkins (be aware that busses only come a couple of times a day!)
