The location was excellent just one street back from the beach at Waikiki/Kuhio. Easy walk to shops, cafe's, public bus and everything you could need. I loved the two share room with shared bathroom and kitchen. It was modern, comfortable and clean for an older style building. Check in staff were excellent and there is security 24 hours. Free beach gear available to use and free coffee/tea/hot chocolate. The Hi 5 tours offer a free half day trip on Sundays which would be great for getting to know some of Oahu's places. Ionnis also offers some great tours. I recommend the foodie tour.

A very nice hostel overall, dorms were clean, staff were super helpful. Wifi was strong. Lockers were adequate. There is a kitchen area, which has everything you will need. Polynesian was a great place to stay for a few days.

It was my first time staying in a hostel in a shared room and I loved it. The staff is extremely attentive and always tries to help with any questions. The bathroom in the room is cleaned daily and the shower is excellent, which made showering after a day at the beach amazing. On top of that, the beds are comfortable, the bed linens are clean, and the towels are fresh as well. The common areas of the hostel are great for relaxing and socializing. I felt safe the entire time, and there are lockers inside the rooms to store personal items. Finally, the location is perfect—close to the beach and everything you need to fully enjoy Honolulu. Without a doubt, I will stay at this hostel again.

All hostels in Honolulu

Looking for a hostel?

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.

    Good price for the room considering the great location. Parking was cheap at 18 USD a night and you did feel safe. Very friendly staff!

    location of the hostel was very accessible, It was quiet and we felt really safe walking around the area. Our flight was delayed to Honolulu so we missed out on two days of our stay, however, the staff was very understanding and did not cancel our reservation. We were already so stressed being stuck in Sydney, but the helpfulness of the hostel helped relive that. We are so grateful. The tours they organise too, are so sick! very organised, fun and cheap. We met some amazing people

    Using the Goki app to login and access rooms etc. Very tech savvy, also meant not fussing or worrying about losing keys. Rooms were cleaned regularly - bathrooms to a very good standard. Super helpful staff. Liked the baggage storage, left my main suitcase at the hostel while I travelled to mainland USA for five days. Very hand. Great location, safe too!
