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. ・It was convenient for going anywhere, being in the city center. • I was able to stay at a low cost. • The staff were friendly and made me feel at ease right away. • Ms Georgia was very kind, and I was happy to feel relaxed quickly despite being a solo foreign traveler who isn’t fluent in English.

Located in Pahoa, 1.1 km from Kaimu Beach, Open Gate Hostel Hawaii provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. 18 km from Lava Tree State Park and 21 km from Lava Tree State Monument, the property features a bar and barbecue facilities. 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.
