Great place to stay in Waikiki. It’s very close to the city, beach, and park. If you want the buzz of the city, you go to the right of the hostel, if you want tranquility and peace, you walk to the left. If you want the beach, just walk a block and you are there. Everyone I met there, the staff who work there and the other hostel guests, were so nice and friendly. There are bus stops close by and it’s easy to take the bus to get around the island. The hostel provides free use of beach gear like straw mats, floaters, boogie boards, and more. There were even a couple yoga mats. The hostel offers laundry service so I packed half the clothes I needed and did a wash midway. They have a fully equipped kitchen for cooking, refrigerators for storing your food, and a relaxing community area to eat in. Or you can hang out, get work done if you need to, or chill out in one of their many hammocks there. Expect noise from the street on some days. This is typical of this area. You get used to it and ignore it after a while because the location is so prime that you don’t care.
