    spacious dorm
    daily cleaning
    cramped lockers

    The 8-bed mixed dorm was pretty spacious and the beds were surprisingly comfy. It felt clean too, since they had daily cleaning. Lots of plug sockets for charging devices, which was a huge plus. I did notice the lockers were a little cramped for my backpack, though. No bed lights either, so that was kinda annoying when trying to settle in at night.

    Room had air conditioning, private bathroom, and a kitchen with an oven and refrigerator. The shared areas were clean, and daily cleaning service was appreciated. Enjoyed the fitness center and the lounge for socializing. Proximity to the beach was fantastic, just a minute's walk! Free snorkeling gear made trips to the beach easy and fun.

    Friendly staff, excellent location, the free equipment to borrow like umbrellas and snorkels made my solo adventure enjoyable while being just a short 20 km from the main attractions.

    Breakfast hours are inconvenient.

    cold shower
    small lockers

    Yo, the location is a total gem – just a hop away from the beach, and literally the best slurp of garlic shrimp from Kuhio Beach Grill! Plus, the hostel’s sweet little lounge and kitchen were perfect for late-night snacking and socializing. Made tons of friends here too!

    On the flip side, that shower was a bit cold, and those tiny lockers? Nah, not great for a full backpack. Also, missing those beach chairs and snorkels they promised was a bummer.

    spacious room
    private bathroom
    working air conditioning
    noisy kitchen
    squeaky beds

    I stayed in the Bed 8-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room. The room was pretty spacious and had a private bathroom, which was a plus. There was a kitchen in the bedroom itself, which was convenient but could get noisy if someone was cooking late. The air conditioning worked well, and the beds, though a bit squeaky, were comfy enough for a good night's sleep. Definitely a basic setup but clean and well-maintained.

    beach location
    spacious dorms
    bike rental
    complicated entrance code

    The location is superb. right by the beach. The dorm room was spacious with a fridge, and the addition of a small balcony was nice.

    The entrance code system can be a bit confusing at first.

    basic accommodation

    I stayed in an 8-bed mixed dormitory. The room was decent, but pretty basic—just beds and a shared bathroom. Some beds had clean sheets, but I noticed a few corners were not so tidy. There was a lot of noise at night, especially with late-night arrivals, which disrupted sleep. On the bright side, they provided earplugs, which did help. Good thing I spent time exploring, not just in the room!

    local vibe
    easy access
    inconsistent temperature

    I truly enjoyed my stay at Waikiki Beachside. The beach proximity and vibrant common areas made socializing and relaxing effortless. However, the shower occasionally had inconsistent water temperature. Overall, a fantastic experience to dive into the local vibe!
