I love Hostels with private rooms. It was definitely clean & tidy. The bathroom was always tidy. The AC worked super well. Previous reviews said that the noise of the road is bothersome but with the AC in high & my ear plugs i slept like a king. The staff was always friendly. I saw some of the other folks but very friendly. You are leas than a mile from Ala Moana. You can even walk to Waikiki if you wanted to get your steps in. I am looking forward staying here soon!!
