Let me make it clear that I have stayed in hostels often. Also, the Polynesian's website was one of the most promising hostel websites in Waikiki. This hostel was gross. My friend and I called the hostel from the airport and were told that there were beds available. We arrived at the hostel in the pouring rain after a 17... more

bad bad bad! We arrived in waikiki late at night and phoned the hostel ahead to see if they had availability, the did so we headed over. The hostel is on a very sketchy street away from most of the hub bub of waikiki, so if you like to shop or do tours, surfing etc. its not a great location,... more

(As you know it was high season.) - The private room you go through 4 people room (co-ed) , pass a bathroom on the right and you find the... more

The peple were great, the location was awesome. We had a private room with kitchenette and it was much better than I imagined! They also have a very strict quiet policy after 10pm. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking, we had a really great time there. more

what an absolute dump! i have stayed in a lot of hostels and this is the worst by far. unhelpful staff, most of whom are working there in exchange for their board and you feel like you are intruding on their home! also, the place is really dirty. we stayed there for 10 days and not once was our room... more
