    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.

    The location was great within walking distance of the farmers market Toilet wasn’t that clean

    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。

    Convenient location, comfortable room. Made use of the kitchen.

    I arrived late in the evening after a long flight, but the staff at the front desk immediately made accommodations. There was a low supply of bath towels, but everything was otherwise all right.

    Nice location

    Clean and friendly private rooms for a great price in Hawaii. Stairs access on the street and parking downtown is tough.

    The worst place to stay. 1 night too long.

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Good location, good communal kitchen and living space.

    The pics advertising the property look great. The mould in the bathrooms should be inspected and either cleaned or shut down. The shower curtains have mould a quarter the way up - and the fan is unspeakable. The noise from the common room is super loud until 11:00 at night. Most of the staff are indifferent or sleeping on the couches. The kitchen is disgusting - they did clean the fridge after I opened it and almost passed out from the smell.
