    This was by far the worst hostel I've ever encountered and I've been hostel traveling for decades. We got a private room for 120 a night. It was super filthy, like extra bad, and very gloomy. We slept on top of the blankets. Sketchy place and noisy crowd. Later that month we got 2 Waikiki hotel rooms for 10 to 20 dollars more. Nice clean and basic city view rooms. So don't bother spending your money on that place. At the most it's worth 50. Staff was friendly though.

    Thieves frequent this place! Had things stolen and management refused to offer refund. Avoid if you don’t want your things stolen!

    I stayed one night. It was without reservation. They insist in taking cash for the deposit (as much as the bed), but they'll take card for the bed itself. They mix long-term and short-term occupants. I ended up in a room that was obviously predominantly long-term. The bathroom was a mess and in disrepair - I was given special instructions on using the water handle so it wouldn't fall off. Unlike the Polynesian Hostel up the block, folks were up, moving around, talking, and partying until at least midnight despite having posted quiet hours at 10PM. It may be a small touch, but I appreciated it a lot in other hostels. The beds here didn't have any kind of protective cover aside from the sheets they issue. AFAIK, there were no lockers or secure storage for valuables. The good I can say about the place is that they did hold the room for me by telephone without payment. They verified that I was who I told them on the telephone before giving me the room at the desk.

    Awful. Basically a place for drunkards and near-homeless. Really dirty. The lady working at the checkin desk was mentally handicapped. Didn't see any bugs like the others luckily. "Linens" are one thin sheet and a "pillow" stuffed with sheets. First one they gave me was white but discolored with sweat and blood. No towels provided. Usually have to wait an hour for the one employee to return to the office. Pluses: one block from the beach and fairly cheap (although they charge $2 for "linens"). But there is no reason you should stay here. There are three other hostels just as close to the beach and much nicer.

    I arrived at 10 p.m. October 17 . The person who gave me the room sayd it was 59 USD per night for a single room . I accepted and spend a night there .The day after the menager told me that they made a mistake in the price and was 75 USD per night and I should pay the difference. I sayd no way since they made the mistake and I would check out. Also because there's no way that a room in that dirty place has a value of 75 USD. After that they didn't want to give me back the deposit. I had to argue badly to get back my money. It's a place to avoid like most of reviews are clearly saying. Unfortunately sometimes you don't have other options....

    Stayed here couple years ago. Place has improved and is a much more decent stay now, staff and place itself is way more respectable. I've always liked that it is so close to the beach and shops. I read a comment about roaches the only roaches I seen ever is in the evening the giant b-52's but those are normal in Waikiki especially areas near hotel rubbish bins.

    First of all I would love to say I love reading peoples reviews on anything. The guy below Jody Graham is quite the story teller. He himself may or may not do drugs but, his girlfriend is definitely a Meth head. I was 2 doors down from them, they would try to sneak extra people in all hours of the night typical chronics. This place was awesome if your not too picky. Good people, I could walk and boogie board every single morning and for sunset. They had a huge BBQ, the manager is a big hearted dude. Will return again!

    I have found this particular Hostel a joy to stay in due to the excellent management. Dave handles a lot and does t well. He not only manages he does all maintenance. I myself, the guests and employees Love him. It is not a fancy as some places but great for a bed, shower, and a kitchen. The place is relaxing and at the same time fun. Great BBQ's with great people. I'd recommend this place to anyone for short term or long term rental.

    I have stayed here for quite sometime. No other hostel will let you stay without a plane ticket off the Island or Itinerary. You can not beat the price for the location so close to Waikiki Beach. The Manager is a awesome guy the rest of the staff are friendly and helpful. The place is fun. Has great BBQ's, and get together's for Holidays. It is a great place to make friends if you plan on staying on the Island..

    It was a great stay in Hawaii, and much help to Dave who runs Ohana Hostel. He really helped me and my Girlfriend when we were in a tough situation. The only problem was that our room had no air conditioning and in Hawaii thats a must.

    Excellent service and a great location next to the beach. The staff is very helpful and there are many attractions and activities within walking distance. The rooms, prices, amenities, and room service make your stay seem more worthwhile. Plus, the security on site adds to your peace of mind throughout the stay. This is a great hostel choice along Waikiki Beach.

    I love this place so far, Manager is a good dude. All Aloha! People are down to earth and easy going. I'm thinking I'm gonna stay awhile. Rooms are decent. Recently I upgraded from a shared dorm room to a private room. Never had any issues in the shared room. No bugs or anything like I read in a prior review. I just wanted more privacy. Beach is one block away. Restaurants, Clubs, Bar and Grills right around the corner or down the street. Pacific Ohana turned my Vacation into a STAYcation! Aloha!

    This was a hard one to write because the managers are really nice folks but this hostel IS infested with bed bugs. I have welts all over my legs and hands from sleeping there. And not just a couple of bites, I am covered in them, any exposed skin I had sleeping. This business needs to be shut down by the city. Stay away, far away!

    Granted this place is not a 5 start hotel, It is a hostel, But the place is great and cheap. You can stay short term or long term and for the price your not going to beat it. One block away from the beach, tons of stores and food spots. Common TV area is great to meet people hang out drink a beer and watch sports. The manager is great, staff is friendly. Plan on staying for a few months before I go to Australia.
