A block away from the beach, friendly staff, very good for the price. It's close to almost everything. Also the staff can help you looking for good deals on tours. I stayed at a 4-beds female room which was just perfect! Definitively I would stay there again.

Having stayed at another hostel 4 blocks away I would not recommend here. There's a good atmosphere but the rooms are disgusting. In 4 nights our dorm wasn't cleaned once. The shower was revolting and the kitchen area, right next to the beds, was crawling in ants. There was lots of gone off food- I don't know when it was... More

I luckily only stayed 1 night here in a 8 bed dorm. The room would be good, it's actually two rooms with 4 beds in each room. But it was so dirty!!! On the empty beds was sand, the floor was dirty (i would not like to walk around barefoot), but the worst was the kitchen: Cockroaches everywhere. And for... More

Stayed at this hostel for three nights at the end of March 2013 and found it to be pretty clean and comfortable. Great location in the heart of Waikiki so can walk all around. Only a block from the beach but on a side street where its quieter.

I brought my sister here for a weeks stay and the price was $222. It's on a little old time street 1/2 a block from the beach or the zoo. There is a wide range of ages staying there not just young although they are the majority. She stayed in a four bed dorm, there are also eight bed dorms,... More

Well the hostel wasn't very friendly at the desk. They were not helpful at all.. Also the rooms were very dirty and the bugs were everywhere. The location was great, 5mins away from the beach. So I wouldn't recommend this hostel.

Wow! You just can't beat free wifi, continental breakfast and maid service at a hostel! If all your looking for is a cheap place to crash, a kitchen and a shower, then hostels are the way to go! I traveled by myself and stayed in an 8 female dorm room for two weeks! Everyone was courteous and respectful and pretty... More

We stayed a total of two weeks at this hoste. The staff is awesome, very friendly, helpful and professional. The dorms that we stayed in were clean. The vibe of the hostel is relaxed and at night people usually meet at the lounge for a beer and a good time. We also got superb help when we were running late... More
