My stay at Honu Waikiki by ALOH was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the most wonderful staff who truly made this hostel feel like a home away from home. A special shout-out to Emi (boss ;) ), Paige, and Joe, who were consistently friendly, incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience. Their warm hospitality and genuine care for guests really set Honu Waikiki apart. One of the highlights of my mornings was definitely the delicious morning cookies – a perfect start to each day! I was also incredibly impressed by the dedication of the cleaning personnel. The entire property was impeccably clean everywhere you went, from the common areas to the dorms and bathrooms. This level of cleanliness made for a very comfortable and pleasant stay. Honu Waikiki by ALOH is a gem in Honolulu, offering not just a place to sleep but a vibrant, welcoming community, I have now so many friends from around the world in my instagram, it’s a great place to make new friends. If you're looking for a clean, friendly, and well-managed hostel with an amazing team, look no further. I highly recommend Honu Waikiki to anyone visiting Honolulu – you won't be disappointed!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    location of the hostel was very accessible, It was quiet and we felt really safe walking around the area. Our flight was delayed to Honolulu so we missed out on two days of our stay, however, the staff was very understanding and did not cancel our reservation. We were already so stressed being stuck in Sydney, but the helpfulness of the hostel helped relive that. We are so grateful. The tours they organise too, are so sick! very organised, fun and cheap. We met some amazing people

    Using the Goki app to login and access rooms etc. Very tech savvy, also meant not fussing or worrying about losing keys. Rooms were cleaned regularly - bathrooms to a very good standard. Super helpful staff. Liked the baggage storage, left my main suitcase at the hostel while I travelled to mainland USA for five days. Very hand. Great location, safe too!
