We are located just a few minutes walk away from Waikiki Beach on the south shore of Oahu, Hawaii. We are close to Diamond Head Crater, Waikiki surf breaks, and loads of bars, restaurants, and nightlife.

We also offer complimentary WiFi, tea and coffee, Linens, Clothing irons, Blow dryers, Advice on local tours, and ensuite lockers in each dorm room. Very Clean, safe, very friendly reception service, close to beach, nice roommates, comfortable bed to have a good sleep, free coffee & water in common area, everything is wonderful! I didn’t expect it is so good as I stay another 6 nights in normal hotel, way more expensive than hostel. This is the place if I come back to Honolulu I will definitely choose to stay again.

Situated in Honolulu and within 600 metres of Waikiki Beach, ALOH Seaside Women's Hostel has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. Popular points of interest nearby include Fort DeRussy Park, Saint Augustine by-the-Sea and Hawaii Convention Center. Hale Koa Luau is 1.4 km away and Kapiolani Park is 2.3 km from the hostel. 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.
