Situated in Honolulu and within 600 metres of Waikiki Beach, ALOH Seaside Women's Hostel has a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi. Popular points of interest nearby include Fort DeRussy Park, Saint Augustine by-the-Sea and Hawaii Convention Center. Hale Koa Luau is 1.4 km away and Kapiolani Park is 2.3 km from the hostel. Amazing experience, the staff really nice and they gave me some important suggestions about what to visit. The place is a real paradise, quiet , respectful ,clean and definitely a really good price even for the position that was so close to the beach and the main streets . I’ll book again for sure!

The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. The vibe you find at Open Gate Hostel is hard to explain and find somewhere else. 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.

The Pacific Tsunami Museum is 31 km away and Lyman Museum & Mission House is 31 km from the hostel. I loved the price! Accomodation on big island is really expensive 🙈 however, even it was cheap this room was spacious, clean, and all we needed to rest. It's located next to some bar, so we heard music coming out from the street, but once we closed the windows it wasn't an issue at all. The neighbourhood is not the safast one, however, on the property have had 3 locks on the way getting into the room that made us feel secure. .
