I liked the hang out area where they had very good tea for free
The location was not that nice and the parking was under construction

Gut war die Lage und das Personal war sehr freundlich. Es war auch sauber, gab Kaffee und Tee für lau sowie gutes WLan. Es gab einen tollen Gemeinschaftsraum und die anderen Hostelteilnehmer waren sehr offen.
Der Preis war wie für Hawaii typisch zu teuer.
Im Zimmer gab es nur eine zu kleine laute Klimaanlage. Und bei 6 Betten nur eine Steckdose.

Le parking est gratuit et sécurisé, l arriere de l hotel est joli
Beaucoup trop de lumière et de bruit à cause des gigantesques fenêtres au plafond 6m2 ouverts aucun moyen de les fermer ! Donc chaud la journée et froid la nuit ! A notre arrivée tout était ouvert donc 28 dans la chambre nous avons très mal dormi ! Ça avait l air plus confortable dans les dortoirs communs pas de fenêtre et une clim plus efficace et très calme pour des dortoirs aussi grands

Un personnel a scent lors du Check in car il a préférer terminer plus tôt pour aller à un concert….
La Clim est de plus très très bruyante donc si vous voulez dormir prévoir des boules quies

The location was good. It was a nice hostel to stay in.

Quiet at night, good soundproof from the common area. Beds are very comfy, free towels provided. Close of plenty food options at a short walking distance. Free parking available on site.
The kitchen is well equipped but unfortunately extremely tiny. The bathroom with 2 showers and 1 toilet together is kind of weird.
More hook next to the beds would be a nice addition.
Fees for laundry are a bit expensive.
Male staff could knock at the female door before to enter in the room with a new guest: someone might be changing!

It is so spacious, so clean, and the bunk beds are comfortable! There even a little attic in our room which is super cute. Good location, close to everything!

Nothing - it was great!

One of the cleanest and well equipped hostels you'll see. And trust me, being almost bug-free is a feat in Hawaii. Great location, chill vibes.
All was cool, really.

Lau was a joy to work with when making reservations! She was more than helpful, very kind and super-organized. The facility was meticulous, organized yet had a very balanced blend of holistic influence, and their daily practice of arranging the pieces in living spaces to create balance with the this beautiful space. The patrons are scientists, artists, adventurers and healers and people that simply want an inexpensive alternative to commercial properties where human interaction is prioritized. I will stay here every time I come to the big Island.
I didn't have more time to spend with my new friends.

There were emergancy toiletries and earplugs free of charge should we need them. It was clean. We had a small balcony.
We had to walk through a mixed dorm to get to our private double room and then walk into the mixed dorm to utilise the toilet or shower.

location and layout
one shower room with two showers and a toilet in it means that people have to queue.
