Sue is an amazing host and the place is just perfect. It's clean, has no bugs, it is well maintained. It has all a good hostel needs, but it also has it's own atmosphere. One of the best hostels I have visited in my life.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location, easy 10 min walk to Waikiki, and close to Diamond Head. Easy access by road (cheap parking on the road in front). Just around the corner from Kaimana Beach so it’s easy to get a bit of afternoon sunbathing or an early morning swim. The little extras like wine hour on weekdays and the reusable water bottles to take home were a nice touch. Staff were always friendly and greeted us every day with a smile.

Great space, nice large balcony, tons of towels provided, beach chairs and umbrella available + outdoor shower for washing off. Amazing location close to the action, great base to explore Oahu from. Never had any concerns about safety. Lots of ABC stores nearby to stock up on goods like toilet paper and anything you need for cooking. Overall an absolutely fantastic place to stay in the heart of Waikiki on a budget.

Location was great as the number 20 bus from the airport stops about 50m away from the hotel. This takes just under an hour and gives a chance to look around.. The same bus goes to Kapiʻolani Regional Park at the base of Diamond Head Crater. It costs $3(exact change) each time you get on the bus . This made it a cheap stay. The ocean is a short walk away, though the pool at the hotel is inviting. There are many food options conveniently nearby.. Staff (shout out to Lincoln for the laughs) were great.

the owners were the nicest people ever and always made sure we enjoyed our stay. they gave us many recommendations of things to do and visit while ensuring our safety. the property is not in central honolulu but lots of buses are a 5-min walk away from the hostel. the kitchen was fully equipped and very well organized, as well as the bathrooms.

location of the hostel was very accessible, It was quiet and we felt really safe walking around the area. Our flight was delayed to Honolulu so we missed out on two days of our stay, however, the staff was very understanding and did not cancel our reservation. We were already so stressed being stuck in Sydney, but the helpfulness of the hostel helped relive that. We are so grateful. The tours they organise too, are so sick! very organised, fun and cheap. We met some amazing people

Using the Goki app to login and access rooms etc. Very tech savvy, also meant not fussing or worrying about losing keys. Rooms were cleaned regularly - bathrooms to a very good standard. Super helpful staff. Liked the baggage storage, left my main suitcase at the hostel while I travelled to mainland USA for five days. Very hand. Great location, safe too!
