It was pretty dirty. We were unable to check in early, despite arriving on an eary morning flight, we had to wait till 3pm. the beds had not even had the previous residents sheets removed. Ony after complaint did we get moved . Even then through our stay, beds were vacated but never stripped. The kitchen facilities are in the rooms which is really awkward. Some staff were ace - the manager and Davis but others were less helpful and friendly. The wifi kept cutting out.

The hostel was a great experience. It gives you a chance to meet new people from all over the world. The staff was really helpful and everything was as good as it could be. Definitely worth our money! I would stay there again for sure!

the hostel is average on the cleanliness side. there is a cleaning crew everyday but i guess coz the building is old so it kinda looks dull. the staff is awesome. they are friendly and helpful. hostel mates are awesome, very young since there is no age limit so most of my hostel mates cant even drink legally but that's not a problem if you know what i mean lol. the best part of this hostel is location. it's crazy. it's seriously 1 block from the waikiki beach!! cant get better than that

Been there couple of times and I have to admit, it's an excellent hostel. It's located in the heart of Waikiki, 1 block from the beach and super close to all the good restaurants, clubs and other venues. Rooms are cleaned on a daily basis. Cleanliness of rooms really depend on the cleanliness of the people sleeping in it, not the staff. Adjacent little restaurant is really old and cheap prices. Common room is a great place to meet other travelers. Free wifi and the cool wristbands/room key !!

This was one of the best hostels I have stayed at over the past couple of years, met a lot of great people & the staff were more than helpful with anything I needed during my stay. Great location, only a block from the beach and only minutes walk to Bars & Clubs. Would definitely stay here again.

These poor marks go for you--not the hostel. The hostel was fine--I will never book thru you again! I wrote you twice I am tired of writing to people who do not read my emails

Had a good time there and would stay there again. What I didn't like is that breakfast is only between 10 and 11 and that you have to pay 25 cents for your locker every time you use it.

One of the beds in the other room had bed bugs :(

The hostel was great but the staff did forget to organise the shuttle bus to the airport that I booked with them so I almost missed my plane but otherwise was a good hostel. Very easy to meet people and in a great location.

I must say, I was not impressed. It is good to meet people, but other than that does not seem very clean, and facilities seem rather old. Apparently it is still one of the better hostels, which is why I stayed, but I did not exactly feel cozy here. It works: not more, not less.

Decent pay for a decent stay.
