Great location! Beach is literally around the corner along w/ the zoo, stores, and restaurants. I selected an all female dorm, 4 bunk beds (sleeps 8) w/ 1 bathrm. No issues with having use it/ waiting, everyone doing their own thing. I wasn't there much which is why I chose this hostel (gated).I like being able to use phone as a room key.
This was my 1st trip to HI and 1st time staying in a hostel, I must say this was a great selection for the price. Stayed 2 nights. On my last day I took a look around-on the main fl there is an outside kitchen with picnic style tables, 2 hammocks, a bbq, and beach items like chairs and floaties you can borrow using the honor system no need to check out or pay. If you're daring, they have snorkeling gear too.
