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. The facilities and the location were exceptional! They had beach, snorkelling and surfing gears as free rentals, a must in Hawaii. The hostel has movie nights, a BBQ grill, area to play football, basketball or TT, a laundry and so on. The lobby and lounge area very good for working or networking. The location is prime. The bus stop is at 2min walking which connects to majority of the hotspots in Honolulu, a boon for solo or budget traveller's. Even the beach is at a 2min walking distance, best for someone who wants to enjoy water and sunsets daily! Lots of good and a variety of food options at a walkable distance too. Overall a must recommend for solo or group traveller's.

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. .
