Lonely Planet review

Attracting an international party crowd, this 175-bed crash pad is a perennial backpacker favorite on Waikiki's 'hostel row' along Lemon Rd. Bonuses include en-suite dorms, each with its own private kitchen and telephone; a 24-hour cybercafe; and cheap organized tours around the island.

Like many of its neighboring hostels in Waikiki, this one occupies an older apartment building on a slightly sketchy backstreet. Shared dormitories are either co-ed or reserved for women only. Some travelers report that hostel security, cleanliness and management can be lax, but it's that same laid-back, anything-goes atmosphere that appeals to so many 20-somethings. Discounts are given to guests for renting surfboards, snorkel sets, boogie boards and mopeds. Rates, which cover free wi-fi in the common areas and a very basic continental breakfast, can rise significantly during holidays and special events. The hostel is often fully booked, so try to make reservations in advance. Limited first-come, first-served parking is reasonably priced.
