We are located just a few minutes walk away from Waikiki Beach on the south shore of Oahu, Hawaii. We are close to Diamond Head Crater, Waikiki surf breaks, and loads of bars, restaurants, and nightlife.

We also offer complimentary WiFi, tea and coffee, Linens, Clothing irons, Blow dryers, Advice on local tours, and ensuite lockers in each dorm room. Such a great hostel which fabulous staff who engage with guests during planned activities. I did rock painting one night and they had karaoke another, but I didn't join in. There is beach and sports equipment that guests can borrow for FREE! I took an umbrella and mat to Hanauma Bay for the day. Body boards are a little banged up and some have no wrist straps but still, they are not charging rental prices. Rooms with kitchens are great, as it helped to keep food costs down, because prices are super expensive (even a loaf of bread cost me over $10AUD)! The location is only a block back from the beach, so it's such a good location. And only one block back from bus stops to and from the airport or around the island. I definitely will stay here again, and I would highly recommend it to others.

The property is set 4.5 km from Lava Tree State Monument, 25 km from Pana'Ewa Rainforest Zoo and 29 km from University Of Hawaii, Hilo. 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. .
