    The beds could use an upgrade… but were satisfactory and I would stay again in the future.

    I met amazing people from all around the world during my stay.

    The beds could be more advanced, like having curtains or semi-secluded capsules. The bunks shake a bit. Consider also the 2 other hostels in the street if you are looking for a specific vibe.

    I recommend the organized tours, the hostel will arrange a large discount for you. You can cook easily in the shared kitchen area (Honolulu is quite expensive for eating out), but beware that it closes at 10pm and then there is no bar inside or a place to socialize.

    It would have been nice to have a later curfew than 10PM. And the lack of AC was acceptable as long as there were fans provided but they were loud and ear plugs should be available.

    The location in proximity to the beach, downtown, transit and walkability was excellent.

    Fun, affordable hostel with great location & staff

    The bunk beds!!! The beds are made for children. It is not safe for grown adults to sleep on the top bunk - there is a warning stating that no more than 2 CHILDREN should be on the beds!!! TERRIBLE IDEA!!! I understand you can stick 2 more people per room but really should give option to have bottom bunk when booking. Sharing 1 bathroom for 6 people was tough but doable. HOWEVER, some common sense, like clean the fan & put up real shower curtains & water stopper - triangle pieces that go in the corner to stop the water from coming out, cheap at homedepot/lowes, etc. would go a long way!!! Maybe somewhere people could hang up wet clothes other than the railing. No parking - but that was manageable.

    Spent a few days in a semi-private room. That was exceptional!!! Simple, just 2 beds & adjoining room/bathroom was well worth the small amount of money I paid. The place itself was amazing. Close to beach, downtown. Lots of activities, group kitchen. Very nice place, highly recommend the place & the staff. AC/fans in room were nice. THE PRICE!!!! Great bargain & the staff was really wonderful. Laundry service was very convenient & cheap.

    There's a thief working in the hostel. I'm really not trying to get her in trouble because she has no where else to go.

    My upper bunk on first night didn’t have a guard rail to prevent rolling off in your sleep. They were aware of the problem but said it “takes forever” to get replacements so I had to put the mattress on the floor. Other two nights in lower bunk ok.

    Free coffee! Nice to offer oranges. This was a typical hostel, helpful staff, close to the beach. Good value vs typical Waikiki hotel prices

    Both the mattress was compressed and base on my bunk was swayed at one end. To counteract the impact on my spine I slept with my head at foot of the bed after the first night. This did not occur in my previous stays in 2022 and 2023, might be time for bed rotation and mattress replacement.

    The kitchen equipment has been upgraded, and the area is being remodeled. The new configuration is awesome and has greatly increased the usability of the cooking space. It is visually appealing as well. I look forward to seeing it's completion on my next visit!

    Shared bathroom in the room can cause for noises when people wake at different times. Charging ports away from the bed

    Great location. First night in the dorm, wasn’t great. Long termers clearly didn’t care about anyone else in the room as they were loud and putting lights on well after midnight. Also couples sleeping together, caused some unwanted noises. The staff offered a private for my last night before flying out though- very kind of them so I could enjoy a good nights rest. Big reason why I’ve rated them so high cause the first night I was pretty unhappy
