There were three bunk beds in the room. Two bunks (4 beds) in the room and 1 bunk (2 beds) in the living area. There are only two doors--the entry way and the bathroom. It is nice and cool in the room.
The location is right near the Honolulu Zoo, Denny's, and the beach. TheBus W line is conveniently across the main road to get you to the airport.
First time at a hostel. An okay experience, great if you are on a tight budget like I am.

The staff was very accommodating. They stored our luggage after we checked out, made a good pancake breakfast, helped resolve a double booking mistake I made, and are very friendly! The bathroom is not so clean and the property is worn, but the price is less expensive than all other hotels. The location is fantastic by Waikiki beach.

As a solo traveler this place made me feel safe, the staff was friendly and helpful and I love the common area and really love that the location is near public transportation, the beach, restaurants, shopping and other attractions! I would definitely recommend it to solo travelers.

This is almost the best hostel in the world.
For me it had everything and the pancake breakfast was a bonus.
Real good vibes and friendly place.
I wish the beds had privacy curtains that’s all that is missing in my opinion.
Still excellent for the price and location.

Had an unforgettable stay at Waikiki Beachside Hostel. I met so many amazing people here that I honestly never would have met if I stayed somewhere else. The free pancakes every morning were awesome, the outdoor lounge area was the perfect place to hang out, and the rooms were always clean. I also loved all the beach gear you could rent.
What really made this trip special were the people. I ended up hanging out with 6 different people in two groups of 3 for almost 2 weeks. We did drives to the North Shore, fishing trips, watched sunsets with pizza on the beach, and made memories I’ll never forget. This hostel turned a vacation into a real experience.
The staff were beyond friendly and helpful and always made me feel safe, welcome, and relaxed during my stay. You can tell they genuinely care about the people staying there. I already can’t wait to come back.
