This place was sweet. We really enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, clean, good vibes. Well equipped and clean kitchen, important for us because we prefer to cook. Loved all the artwork and vibe of the place. The stars were incredible. Marissa, the manager, is wonderful and friendly, with lots of suggestions and advice on things to do. 100% would stay again!

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 😀

I absolutely loved my stay. It was great base for Puna, Hilo area, waterfalls and volkanoes. Close to restaurants, grocery store, 7/11 and short drive to a shopping plaza. Building is super cute with nice patio. I miss the cat who lives there! The best option to spend time on the island on a budget! Will returrn!

Honolulu

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.

This is one of the best hostels I have been recently! Great atmosphere created by the volunteers, many organized trips and events, guests can easily socialize. The hostel is super clean, the bathrooms are wide and modern, the kitchen has everything you will need to cook your own meals. There is pool, foosball, many other games, location is good, there is a Safeway and a Foodland within walking distance. Met great people and had a very good time at the Howzit, can't wait to get back to Maui and visit again!

Super good vibes. Really lovely space, welcoming and friendly. Clean and safe. Cute dog. Location is away from the main touristy resorts so if you are looking to be where the masses aren’t, it’s a great spot. Also, great view of the Milky Way from here!

Hostel has a great location right by the beach, bus stop and walking distance to everything in Waikiki. Rooms are spacious and every room has it's own bathroom. I loved that we could rent beach equipment (snorkel gear, chairs & matts) at the reception for free. Hostel has a shared kitchen, which is very nice, useful and clean.
