We are located just a few minutes walk away from Waikiki Beach on the south shore of Oahu, Hawaii. We are close to Diamond Head Crater, Waikiki surf breaks, and loads of bars, restaurants, and nightlife.

We also offer complimentary WiFi, tea and coffee, Linens, Clothing irons, Blow dryers, Advice on local tours, and ensuite lockers in each dorm room. The location was excellent just one street back from the beach at Waikiki/Kuhio. Easy walk to shops, cafe's, public bus and everything you could need. I loved the two share room with shared bathroom and kitchen. It was modern, comfortable and clean for an older style building. Check in staff were excellent and there is security 24 hours. Free beach gear available to use and free coffee/tea/hot chocolate. The Hi 5 tours offer a free half day trip on Sundays which would be great for getting to know some of Oahu's places. Ionnis also offers some great tours. I recommend the foodie tour.
