This is almost the best hostel in the world. For me it had everything and the pancake breakfast was a bonus. Real good vibes and friendly place. I wish the beds had privacy curtains that’s all that is missing in my opinion. Still excellent for the price and location.

The price was good for the area. The pancake breakfast and coffee was great. The staff were great. The location is close to lots of things to do. In the evenings the staff but a fun event for everyone to join and meet. The mattress was comfortable. But the bed frames were squeaky as well as the main door to the dorm and no lockers large enough for luggage. But overall a good place to visit Waikiki on a budget.

There’s not enough word to explain the amazing environment and energy form the staff and the amenities. A lot of this to do and you meet great people activities on site, breakfast at 8am (pancakes), gym, surfboards are available to everyone. Also, shades, chairs, noddles, all the stuff that you might need for the beach they provided. Is the best option to save money so you won’t have to rented at the beach (Waikīkī) is by far the best. I would come back here ASAP love it. Special thanks to Ryan. Bars and karaoke are like 13 min walk.
