Waikiki Backpackers Hostel Reviews

Best hostel ever!! Best staff!!! Incredible Location!!!!

Very friendly ppl. They need to put lockers in the dorm.

I really enjoyed staying in this hostel, all staff were really friendly except the north Korean .. Kidding (Mongolian). He is actually really nice. Location was great and rooms were clean. Free breakfast and yogurt was really a plus. They also had free beers on some nights! everyone was having party every night and really fun.

The staff were nice. When I arrived, I wasn't sure where the entrance was... I got there one hour before check-in time but they prepared a room for me. I thought there was at least hand soap in the bathroom but there wasn't. I didn't usea pillow because it looked dirty. I had a hot shower so it was a good point. It might be noisy at night.

I was in 2 different hostels (this and Beachside Hostel) and I am strongly recommend this one. Is cheaper, smaller and the atmosphere is more familiar and kind. Clean enough and just at 3 minutes walking from Waikiki beach.

Great atmosphere, and very friendly staff ! i stayed in private a room very nice,only problem was traveling alone ment i had to pay for two people to get the private room ,doubled costs ,very pricey ,and there was no signage displaying that you were at the right place,,only down fall was it was very hard to find,

I had a such a great time in this hostel that I had to extend the stay. Great location, fun and friendly staff, and awesome atmosphere. You can make a great friends here. Free beer on Tuesdays and Saturdays evenings, and free pizza on Sunday evenings.

In a very convenient location only a short walk to Waikiki Beach. Also nice to have ensuite and kitchenette in room. However, sheets were dirty, cockroaches in bathroom and no lockers available in room. I would probably not stay here again as it's quite expensive for what you get.

When you have free nights (much appreciated) sticking to an actual time would be nice. We waited nearly two hours for pizza.

Great spot, short walk to waikiki beach, great atmosphere, free beer some nights! Easy to sleep, quiet time is at 10pm, so you can either get some sleep, or head out for drinks after then. Everyone is pretty cool and chilled, i had a good stay.

had a comfortable stay.

I enjoyed my stay at the Waikiki Backpackers Hostel! However, there are cockroaches in bedroom and no lockers available in room. Well.., you get what you paid for and is not bad overall!

depends on your perspective. if youre used to big hostels with poor dorms this might suit as you stay in a motel room with facilities.i stayed in a private room which was a dorm room with the other beds left in. it was the most dingy and depressing room ive stayed in. not like the photos.. it was drab and just about clean. the sheets were nylon which i hate. it was social but i think this was because the kitchen and office were in room sized spaces so you had to socialise it was so tiny.l

Hostel location is awesome just 4 mins Waikiki beach and awesome places araund honolulu. Hostel is full of fun. If i go to Honolulu again definitly i will stay here again.full of fun staff was super helpfull and they are trying their best to getting most fun for their guest. Highly recommend the hostel.

The staff was not knowledgeable or didn't care to share their info about the area/island. The atmosphere was weird. In our opinion, not worth the money. We will stay somewhere else next time

The worst hostel I have ever been. Bads: Cockroaches, poor breakfast and duty bathroom. Goods: Free beer and pizza in some days. The staff is very cool too. Good location. I do not recomend, easy to find better.

The room I should stay in was overbooked when I arrived, so I had to sleep in a different room and moved the next day. There are no lockers, no space for personell belongings, the rooms are small, the AC doesn't work. I was glad that I booked only three nights. I wouldn't recommend it.

If you don't mind sleeping between the cockroaches this is the perfect hostel for you! Staff is friendly, location great.

Bathroom area and living conditions were unclean and had a roach problem. Beds were to small and the rooms were not large enough to house 6 people comfortably. They could of also had a common area of interaction set up more neatly with spacious recreation yard. The kitchen had a roach problem where I've seen them in food. Overall the Asian receptionist named 'YO' or something was a bit to unprofessional for the job.Always drinking and behavior and was radical.

The staff at the front desk were helpful in every way. If they werent sure of whatever I inquired about, they did what they could to help. Everything you could need is readily available & there was never a hassle to deal with. The housekeepers were kind and they did a great job. The hostel itself is in a great location + awesome atmosphere. Also a clean kitchen area in the room to store food. Common room was clean & comfortable. My only complaint pertains to rude dirty Eastern European dudes...
