The place definitely has positives and negatives but in the end, it's a good place. Was here for 4 nights, and felt fine staying here. The ups, really close to the beach and within walking distance for everything Waikiki. Great staff as well. The downs are the shared bathrooms with another room (never told), finding a knife on my bed... More

The people at this hostel were so welcoming it was unbelievable. I had the best time there and have made friends that I will hopefully keep for a long time! It is literally a few minutes walk to the main beach and they arrange amazing varied trips all around the island. The rooms and the bathrooms were clean, and if... More

STAY HERE! The best LOCATION; only a minutes walk to Waikiki Beach! The friendliest, helpful and most informative management & staff. The rooms and bathrooms are uber clean with brand new Ikea beds! The free brekkie, free bodyboard and snorkeling gear hire and free Wifi on all floors and rooms is a godsend. There are daily free activities organised by... More

Stayed here for a week, then returned for 3 nights after traveling to other islands. I had a great time here. The staff and other travelers were a great group and we had tons of fun. There's always something going on. Made some great friends. Miss them already. Location can't be beat. Thanks for everything! More

The Polynesian Beach Hostel is the perfect place to stay at when on a budget in Hawaii. But not just that, you will meet people from all over the world, people that might become your friends and that you´ll have an amazing time with. The hostel provides tours and other activities, which are a perfect opportunity to see the island... More

Well this place pretty much has only one good thing going for it - location. It is a short stroll to the beach, restaurants and main part of Waikiki. It's such a shame the hostel drags itself down cause there is so much potential. Firstly don't be fooled by the Internet photos they are a far cry from the real... More

First off...for those expecting hotel quality at a hostel price...you are being silly. This is a cheap, 1 block from the beach, staffed by mellow folks, meet people and have fun kind of place. I actually ended up staying with my dad for 4 nights and we had a great time, we had to move rooms once (because we booked... More

...the stuff mainly all smoke drugs and sometimes are not able to answer easy questions. if you offer the stuff a free bed for working 3 hours a day be sure that it will be mostly dirty because they don't know the difference between clean and dirty...and they don't care about either. there are much better hostels on oahu...

I spent 3 nights here in early February. I was in a 4 bed dorm room. They don't separate people by male or female so beware of that if it bothers you. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. On my 2nd night there was a guy in my room that was snoring so loudly I got up at... More
