Much larger space than expected, set in the beautiful rainforest right outside of the Volcanoes Park. I stayed in the mens dorm. I came without a car and it is a one mile hike to the lower (lesser known) entrance to the park. The bus from Hilo was free at this time (usually $2) and took about 50min. Bring food as the restaurant options are a bit limited and pricey as is the small local grocery (Lava Rock Cafe and the Tuk-Tuk Thai food truck were my favorite options). Satoshi is kind and accommodating. The other travelers I met seemed to also appreciate the peace and tranquillity of this space. Do not expect staff on hand to make sure everything is ok like many hostels. This is more of a hostel/AirBNB hybrid. Show up, enjoy the space and reach out to Satoshi if you have any questions or concerns. The only space that was small and awkward was the shared mens bathroom. It’s a small space with two toilets and two showers and it feels only large enough for one person at a time. But hopefully your time in there is limited :)
