From what I’ve seen of hostels in Waikiki, this is a good one! It was clean and comfortable especially in the 2 bed room with the AC. The kitchen had ukuleles and a guitar which was awesome and the staff were amazing! The only let down was the location. Didn’t love being down the little alley.

The staff was very helpful and approachable. The location was very ideal; close to everything. The rooms have AC, which helped cool the room and drown out any noise. I would definitely come back.
