I only spend two nights at this hostel, but it was great. The common area is super cool, and perfect to meet new people, which is was super handy since I was solo traveling. The area of the hostel is great, and I LOVED the pancakes !! Would definitely book again.

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.

CONVENIENT!! Took the bus from the airport, unpacked on my bunk, grabbed Teddy's Bigger Burger (practically right next door), and crossed the street to the beach in time for sunset! The pancakes in the morning are amazing. The group activities are great.
Common area so comfortable and pancakes are delicious.
Beautiful sunset across the street
