I'll be really honest... when you look at this hostel you won't think much of it. It looks oldfashioned... but the location is great. Rooms are good. Staff are really friendly and helpful. And rates are really low. So if you save on accommodation, you have more money to eat better, visit more places and enjoy more!! It's great! I... More

Hostelling international Waikiki is in the prime spot for a great time in Hawaii. I was a little disappointed by the cleanliness and facilities at the hostel but the low price and great location made up for it. Would recommend to those who plan to only sleep at the hostel as the kitchen and communal areas aren't too flash.

I stayed here for a few days while waiting to meet family. The room was clean enough, and my lower bunk next to the window was heaven--breezes blowing through all the time, and not too much noise (at least for me!). The people who worked there were uniformly wonderful, and being able to borrow a boogie-board instead of having to... More

I had a great stay at the hostel. Cody, one of the front desk attendants was especially helpful in planning my stay and helping me to arrang logistics to check out the rest of Oahu. Thanks so much Cody!

We were pretty annoyed when we first arrived as we had to wait a long time to be seen whilst they handed over shift (I'm not sure why they couldn't deal with us first or what took so long), then after paying found out they didn't have two beds in the same dorm. We were told its first come first... More

We've hired several new staff that are still learning about Hawaii, but our staff spends a great deal of time behind the scenes making detailed info. on happy hours, good eats, bus directions. We also reserve many tours as a convenience for guests, & are happy to look things up for guests on our computer. As far as your comments... More

When we arrived we met Lauren, a very nice girl from Chicago who helped us with our bags and reservation even though we were no guests at this time. She was very helpful and gave us great recommendations about the area. Thank you Lauren! Lukas and Arthur

Okay remember this is a hostel not a five star hotel. I felt safer here than I did staying in a cheap hotel. No visitors are allowed and you need to have a key or ring the door bell to get in. Its a minute walk to the beach and there are shops and restaurants within walking distance. The staff... More

It's always a great pleasure and humbling feeling to go back to Waikiki HI. I've been there 3 times now since 1996. I just can NOT describe how those people who work there are soooooooo great, very polite, very helpful, very kind to any customer regardless where you come from. My last visit was from March 21 to 24, 2013.... More

I mean $25 a night in Waikiki and 2 minutes walk from the hostel to the beautiful beach, that's insane. Tons of stores, restaurants around, and the shopping street, I don't know the name, but it's perfect for shopping. I had two great times in the hostel, met so many nice people, and definitely including our evil-smiling volunteer - Larry.... More
