I had an absolute BLASSST at Waikiki Beachside Hostel. I was very hesitant at first as it was my first hostel experience but it had such warm, welcoming & fun environment. **HUGE SHOUT-OUT to: CJ, Caitlin, Hannah, Vin, Rocky, Amber & (the beautiful soul that creates the media content. I'm sorry, I didn't get your name). Their awesome energy made my stay extra enjoyable! Thank you all for the memories:)

They originally put me in the wrong room and I had to go back to the office to get moved. One of the girls refused to turn on the ac so the room was miserably muggy and I was unable to sleep. However, the room was clean and servicable. It is a good option if you are by yourself or with a group of friends. Very affordable for what you get.

I loved this place! This was the first hostel I’ve ever stayed in. I was worried about safety but I felt so safe there, everything was gated and secure. The whole place was such a vibe. I loved all the activities they were hosting there and I met so many cool people that I will never forget. It’s a two minute walk from the beach and shops, very convenient. There’s also a little restaurant connected to the hostel so if you’re tired you don’t have to walk to get food. I 100% recommend this place for solo travelers!!
