Horrible Experience at Waikiki Beachside Hostel

I booked a 9-night stay at Waikiki Beachside Hostel through Hotels.com, expecting a comfortable and safe environment. Instead, I encountered one of the worst lodging experiences of my life. Upon arrival, I was assigned to a room that was filthy and reeked of an unbearable odor. Despite this, I left my belongings and went to find parking, only to discover that the hostel doesn’t offer any. When I returned, I was shocked to find a man sleeping in my bed, spitting in all directions. Turning on the light revealed that all four beds were occupied. I reported this to the front desk, but the staff insisted it was impossible. After accompanying me to the room and witnessing the situation firsthand, they still refused to remove the unauthorized occupants. Instead, they told me to contact Hotels.com for a new room assignment. Hotels.com was of no help, providing only empty responses without any real solutions. The hostel’s alternative was to offer me a mattress on the floor, right next to the man who had been spitting. Unwilling to subject myself to such conditions, I spent the night in my car. To salvage the remainder of my trip, I had to pay $1,400 for two nights at a nearby hotel. Both Waikiki Beachside Hostel and Hotels.com ruined my vacation and strained my finances. The hostel was chaotic, dirty, and filled with intoxicated individuals. The staff was unhelpful, and the management showed a complete lack of responsibility. I strongly advise against staying here.

It’s a great place for saving money, but roommates fail to be curtesy of others when not leaving ac on or slamming doors, or carrying conversation while someone is sleeping.

The best hostel experience i've had to date. Staff are very nice and helpful - I was able to keep my bags in storage for a few hours before and after checkout. Inclusive and friendly group of people including the staff and all other people from the hostel. Will be back if i'm ever in town again.

Great location and Great Staff!

No lie, this place is within a block of Waikiki Beach and also near the Honolulu Zoo! Looking for affordability? This is the place to stay. Rented a bunk in the 4 female room and ended up with a small apartment sized unit which included a kitchen, too!

Close to the beach, lots of chairs, umbrellas, boogey boards to share. If they would just lose the basketball that everyone seems to like bouncing in the courtyard at odd hours of the day, it'd be perfect.

Good access to the beach and great experience of a few days stay. Could enjoy staying in the hostel room when I felt tired, and sometimes having relaxed time at the rest space on the 1st floor.

Not bad

First time staying at a hostel. It was quite an experience. I loved it. I slept on top of the bunkbed but it keeps on making a sound every time i move and felt bad for the lady sleeping at the bottom. I hope they fix that problem cause the place wasnt bad at all especially for the price.
