As far as hostels go, this one is not great. Unfortunately, cheap options are extremely limited in Honolulu so I am still grateful it was available for me to stay in! That being said, it was dirtier than expected- the bed covers were dirty and stained, there was trash/old food sitting out in the rooms for days, and I never saw the place get cleaned during my 3 day stay. The air conditioner is very loud and the windows remain open all day/night making it difficult to sleep, especially due to the construction noises that began at 4 AM daily. The beds were VERY squeaky too.
Here are the positives- the location is AMAZING. Right on waikiki beach, a quick walk to tons of shops/restaurants, parks, and of course the beach. The bus system will get you wherever you need to go with stations right by the hostel. I would recommend buying a Holo card for the bus (otherwise it's cash only).
Overall, I would book it again if desperate to save money but I would rather not return if given the option
