Staying here was one of the best decisions I have made throughout my two weeks in Hawaii. Staff is truly super (helpful, friendly, welcoming, helpful) and the people you meet there are just amazing. My private room was large, comfortable, and clean. Bathrooms and kitchen were very clean, too. Location is incredible.

Waikiki Beachside Hostel 3 stars

Waikiki, Honolulu

Welcome to Waikiki Beachside Hostel!

We also offer complimentary: Wi-Fi; Tea and coffee; Linens (including one towel per guest upon request); Clothing irons; Blow dryers; Advice on local tours; and ensuite lockers in each dorm room (locks are available for purchase). I love that there is a lounge and kitchen that you are welcome to use before 10pm. It was nice to use those areas when you want to reheat leftovers or if you just want to sprawl out somewhere other than your room. There are also extra bathrooms in the kitchen and reception room in case yours is occupied when you need it. The hostel is right by Kuhio/Waikiki beach and they lend out free beach equipment including beach chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards. Lastly, it was convenient to be able to access your room with a pin or app so you don't have to worry about carrying keys around. There are typically two sleeping areas in each unit and the A/C unit is in one of them, while the other one has a fan and is next to the small balcony that has screened windows. I chose to sleep in the room next to the balcony since I don't like sleeping with the A/C on, and it was cool enough without the A/C even in October. If you get too hot during the day, you can hang out in the kitchen or reception room which are both air conditioned. There is a foot wash station in the lounge.
