Very good place to stay in Waikiki. They also have hostel WhatsApp chat, where you can cooperate with people and travel together around the island. They provide free pancakes and coffee for breakfast, always the same. And there are activities for each day of the week, karaoke night was the best for me 😀

This accommodation is exceptional for what it offers: a private, secure, and no-fuss stay for solo travelers who are looking for a budget option in a highly desirable part of town (just outside of Waikiki, next to Ala Moana). The relevant comparison is to a hostel, not a hotel or an inn. Based on that comparison, for slightly more than a hostel stay I got my own room, a private bathroom (with consistent hot water), 24-hour security, and options to use the shared kitchen and laundry facilities. The onsite parking was also a great deal. In short: an exceptional offer if you understand that you're comparing this to a hostel stay.

Such a lovely place. Friendly and safe. Big kitchen to cook anything you like. Plenty of refrigerator space to put your bag of items. Anything you need to cook or bake. Lots of places to eat in the kitchen or out in the spacious courtyard. Clean water filter. Activities every day from yoga or painting. Comfy bunks. Well-kept bathroom/shower facility in your room. Towels, sheets and pillow provided. Decorative surroundings. Perfect walking distance to restaurants and 2 blocks to the beach. Fabulous owners/management. A real gem for sure and I've told friends about this place and nice for all ages. I'm 61. It was a pleasure to stay at ALOH. Mahalo.

All hostels in Honolulu

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Good price for the room considering the great location. Parking was cheap at 18 USD a night and you did feel safe. Very friendly staff!

location of the hostel was very accessible, It was quiet and we felt really safe walking around the area. Our flight was delayed to Honolulu so we missed out on two days of our stay, however, the staff was very understanding and did not cancel our reservation. We were already so stressed being stuck in Sydney, but the helpfulness of the hostel helped relive that. We are so grateful. The tours they organise too, are so sick! very organised, fun and cheap. We met some amazing people
