Firstly, I'd like to say a massive thank you to Travis and the guys at the hostel. They were all very informative and made me feel completely at ease. Travis showed us some really nice beaches and party spots. The hostel was clean. Andy, the chief cooked yummy meals for $8 every night and is lovely. The location is great.... More

I stayed in this hostel for 5 nights in Honolulu. The location is excellent and right next to the beach in Waikiki and across the street from the Honolulu Zoo. The employees are not really helpful and when you ask them questions you feel like you are bothering them. We stayed in a 4 bed/semi-private female dorm and it was... More

Just returned from a 10 day visit to Waikiki and tghe beachside was the BEST. The front desk staff are friendly and accomodating; available 24 hours a day and NEVER made me feel that i was bothersome. Andy and Leon at the cafe were knowledgeable about the island and attractions and the food they served was delicious. I would recommend... More

I stayed at this place for 2 nights in June 2011 before heading off to Kauai. I'll be brief about this this place, it's buzzing with young people, it's generally clean (also depends on your roommates I guess), staff is professional and helpful, it's just a block from the beach in Waikiki and more important it's cheap. If you're on... More

This is a well organized hostel operation just around the corner from Waikiki beach. It has a nice main sitting area and little touches like music in the evenings (sometimes live) and toast with peanut butter and jelly in the mornings. The pillows were really yellow and gross and the shower could have used a good cleaning. The sitting areas... More

I miss this place!!! I stayed here for 7 nights with 2 girlfriends, I'll be honest, we weren't exactly thrilled with our 4 bed female dorm when we opened the door...the mattresses/pillows were a bit grotty (we were given clean sheets and pillow case thank goodness) and the bathroom a little gross. (the rooms are cleaned daily) BUT, we had... More

I had a great time staying at The Waikiki Beachside Hostel and would recommend it to anyone! I was traveling solo, so location was key- a bus from the airport( the bus stop is around the corner) and the beach and park are a block away.I wasn't disappointed. I got pretty lucky with my roomates, stayed in a female 8-bed... More

It's an adequate hostel, but I would only stay here again if I were with a group of at least 4 friends and thus, be able to take up an entire room. Because there were 3 different groups of people sharing the room I was in, security was a pretty big issue. No one had anything turn up missing, but... More
