    Kamer leuk, uitstapjes leuk, pannekoeken leuk, sfeer leuk, schimmel in douche en rookmelder die midden in de nacht afging om niets was iets minder.

    amazing spot in Hilo town. The hustle and bustle sounds can be heard right in the area of this establishment. But, it shows that the Big Island is reviving back. The staff are an international group and well versed in customer service. The guests that stays here are pretty much a like-minded bunch.

    Great staff, loved the night crew! Beautiful and clean bathroom/ showers. GOKI compatible door codes. Breakfast was a nice addition!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Clean and good value Location is in a very noisy part of town.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The place is good, convienient walking location to downtown and grocery. Young crowd. They Dont have AC that was a bit hard. The staff is really great (except one young guy who looked hungover and was rude). pancakes are yum. They keep kitchen clean and good amenities overall. Bathrooms only have shampoo and conditioner no bath soap, so carry your own. The other guests were very friendly and nice. They have community whatsapp group to share updates. Very young crowd so if elderly people in your group it might feel out of place. The place is on 2nd story with lots of stairs so if u have too many bags it will be tough. You have to find street parking and move the car every few hours based on restrictions on the street.. They have a tv in living area so u can see a match or volcano eruption status live.

    This was truly one of the greatest hostels we've ever stayed at! Awesome, cool, clean, historic spot. We had a private room and it was awesome facing out toward the main street and the beach in the distance. They had free parking just a few blocks away, but everything was walkable from the hostel in town. There were plenty of bathrooms and showers, free chocolate chip pancakes in the morning, and just a really cool vibe. We loved this place, truly one of the greatest hostels. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend to a friend or stay again. Nothing, it was a great. It's a hostel, so its busy, there's alot of people and no AC, but it's hawaii! Just enjoy it. Its super clean and nice.

    立地はヒロのダウンタウンにあり便利です。バス停(ヒロバスターミナル)から徒歩5分ほどでした。スーパーマーケットもやファーマーズマーケットも徒歩5分ほどなので、食材を購入してキッチンで自炊も出来ました。 ひとつだけ困った点は、南隣がライブバー、道を挟んで東隣がイベントスペースのため、週末は夜遅くまで(11時半頃まで)音楽が鳴り響いていました。音に敏感な方には辛いかもしれません。
