this is the ONLY hostel to stay at in my opinion. However, bring earplugs..there is street noise on the weekend at night. Close to the beach, kept clean, good staff, and excellent security. This is my new home when I'm in Hawaii. Thanks, you guys!! David Ames Vancouver BC PS...lots of fridge, kitchen space too!

Stayed there for 5 nights in one of the "better" female only dorms. They have little curtains around each bed to keep your privacy but believe me, this doesn't make up for the crappie mattresses they have. I stayed in a lot of hostels before but I had never such a sore back as in this place as you literally... More

After a flight delay of over eight hours I was never so happy to arrive at my destination. The website will say that check in doesn't begin until 4PM, but if there is a bed available they will let you in. The Rooms The rooms are pretty standard hostel rooms. There are six bunk beds in each room, but only... More

The hostel is very friendly and everybody seem to embrace the spirit of it in the right way, making the place very secure and comfortable. It s situated basically in the middle of the main strip of waikiki, so it s very easy to catch busses or go out at night. The courtyard is very cute and it s a... More

Since this happened a year ago so I can’t check on the details. First, the only way you can prepay a room is if you are already staying with us and are returning from another island. Second, if one person in a group shows up but will not take financial responsibility for payment we will not book them in. I... More

This hostel is in an excellent location being only a few blocks from Waikiki Beach and only steps away from the major bus routes that take you around the island. The staff here was great, especially Natalia and Jules! They were very nice and gave tips on the sites to make one's stay amazing! Only slight downside is I did... More

I stayed at the Seaside Hawaiian Hostel for two weeks back in January. I have to say its the best hostel experience I have had so far and I've stayed in over 14 hostels this year alone.... What I really look for in a hostel is an informal but professional place to stay with clean rooms and a friendly inviting... More

I actually booked one of the double bed private rooms for myself when I was there this past week. Everything was fantastic except for one thing - the lack of insulation, both for providing comfort against the outside temperature and the outside noise. The windows and doors are all built to let the air come in from the outside, and... More
