5-Star at Howzit!!

Have you ever heard of a five star hostel? Well, now I have stayed in one! The building was awesome, the team was awesome, the Daily activities were beyond awesome! I love to manage one back in the continental US. This team really knows what they’re doing AND how to provide an awesome safe place to stay for travelers.

First time staying at a hostel and I love staying at this place. The atmosphere in this place is electric and vibrant. You can easily make new friends in no time. The staff is amazing and friendly.

Location is great, super clean and staff are very friendly. I never done a hostel so this was a new experience for me. I’m glad (Lucky) I chose this place. I will recommend this place to other travelers. Wailuku is super different from Waikiki or anywhere in Oahu.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great for the location, price, and excursions included. A couple issues: it felt like a constant fight to find an open bathroom. This location could have used a couple more for the amount of beds it has. Also, they advertise a backyard / outside area but that doesn't exist at the moment. Otherwise, parking was available and there were a couple good restaurants, bars, and shops within a few blocks. The beds were ok for me but would be too small for anyone 6' tall and up. I'd stay here again
