I had a great night at Patey's Place in Kailua-Kona on Big Island last December (2007). I should say this hostel is the cleanest one I've ever stayed in.

This hostel is a great place to stay! It is clean, the staff is friendly, and it is affordable, as well as being in a good location! The place is cleaned up and down by the staff!
