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 location was excellent just one street back from the beach at Waikiki/Kuhio. Easy walk to shops, cafe's, public bus and everything you could need. I loved the two share room with shared bathroom and kitchen. It was modern, comfortable and clean for an older style building. Check in staff were excellent and there is security 24 hours. Free beach gear available to use and free coffee/tea/hot chocolate. The Hi 5 tours offer a free half day trip on Sundays which would be great for getting to know some of Oahu's places. Ionnis also offers some great tours. I recommend the foodie tour.

Located in Wailuku, 4.7 km from Iao Valley State Park, Howzit Hostels provides accommodation with a garden, private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is around 28 km from Wailea Emerald Course, 36 km from Lahaina Boat Harbor and 41 km from Whalers Village Shopping Center. The accommodation offers karaoke and a shared kitchen. Staying at this hostel in Maui was hands-down one of the best decisions I made on my trip! From day one, I felt completely at home. The vibe is warm, welcoming, and full of that genuine aloha energy. I met incredible people, made lifelong memories, and left with a full heart. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable - shoutout to Laura, Victor, Gisella, Zac, Luke, Zarah, Mawi, Dani, Claudia, and Owen. Every single one of them went above and beyond, always greeting you with a smile and ready to help with anything. The place is super clean - kitchen, bathrooms, rooms - everything. Plus, they offer free pancakes and coffee for breakfast every morning, and organize daily free activities and tours, which are such a fun bonus and incredibly well done. I’ve stayed in a lot of hostels, but this one is easily one of my all-time favorites. If I ever come back to Maui, this is exactly where I’ll be staying again. :)

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. It was my first time staying in a hostel in a shared room and I loved it. The staff is extremely attentive and always tries to help with any questions. The bathroom in the room is cleaned daily and the shower is excellent, which made showering after a day at the beach amazing. On top of that, the beds are comfortable, the bed linens are clean, and the towels are fresh as well. The common areas of the hostel are great for relaxing and socializing. I felt safe the entire time, and there are lockers inside the rooms to store personal items. Finally, the location is perfect—close to the beach and everything you need to fully enjoy Honolulu. Without a doubt, I will stay at this hostel again.
