This 3-star hostel offers a shared kitchen and a 24-hour front desk. Private parking is available on site. It was our first time to Hawai’i and the welcome at the hostel by Ryan was so awesome. A thorough walk through of everything upon check in and made us feel like a home away from home. It’s a short walk to everything and the beach and the facilities were awesome like free water, the rooftop chill out area, the laundry, kitchens and bathroom were daily cleaned. Thanks so much for the hospitality!!
