Property Description

Welcome to The Seaside Hawaiian Hostel, the original and only family-owned and operated hostel in Waikiki. For over two decades, we have been the spot for backpackers and travelers who are looking for an easy-going and laid-back atmosphere in Waikiki.

Step outside of our gates and you will find yourself mere minutes away from all that Waikiki has to offer- city exploring, world-class restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and of course, the world-famous Waikiki Beach. But while you're within the walls of our property, you'll find nothing but peace, calm, and the best vibes.

We're located centrally in the Waikiki neighborhood of Honolulu. We are also 2 short blocks from Waikiki beach and walking distance from everything else in Waikiki like surf spots, dining, shopping, parks and coffee shops.

To get to us from the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, take bus 19 or 20 to Kuhio Avenue (about an hour ride) ride and we are about a minute walk from the stop. Please note - we do not offer onsite parking. However, there are overnight garages and street parking in the area.

All rooms and dorms have ceiling fans. There are mixed and female-only dorms, all with shared bathrooms ensuite. All rooms have storage lockers - just bring a lock with you. Linens, bath towels and beach towels are all included.

We have a fully equipped kitchen and refrigerators so you can save and cook meals at our hostel. We have Wifi and an outdoor TV area and we will have hot coffee or tea ready for you every morning.

1) All Private Rooms Should Have @ Least Hangers & One Portable, Folding Table that Levels Off The Ground & Sturdy Enough for Guests to Place Larger Luggage, in order for them to Organize Their Clothes & Other Belongings. This hostel did NOT have any of these specific basics considering that the owners wanted guests to spend $100 or more a night for a private room. 2) If the hostel owners & staff are going to have larger pets around (like a dog), then it is only fair to put them on a leash.

The location is super, short walk to the Waikiki beach, restaurants and all types of fancy/exquisite stores to bargain, i.e., Ross stores are just steps away, which is very convenient for the most people. One thing to point out is that the place is so noisy all time of the day as well as most of the nights. So if you are looking for a place to have good night after a fun day, this isn't the place to be.
