Worst experience ever. Please steer away from this hostel - unless you are extremely exhausted and have very high tolerance towards hygiene. We stayed for 3 nights in a private room and had no option for refunds since we prepaid it on a hotel booking site.
1. Check in was quick and thankfully we arrived slightly before they were closed at 9pm (saw some reviews that some had to be left outside since no one was there to open the gate)
2. Bathroom does not come with shampoos. Not extremely dirty but saw some strains of hair which were not picked up. It does have separate bathroom and shower room so that's great.
3. The kitchen does not provide drinking water. I didn't even dare to venture the kitchen.
4. Now, we come to the best part - the room. The bed was comfortable and firm enough (maybe because we were too tired). Spotted more than a few juvenile cockroaches (means the father mother and grandparents were probably around too). I took a call at the dresser and killed at least 5 of them in 10min. It was the worst hostel experience that I ever had. We eventually gave up and just braved through the 3 nights.
5. The hostel is located next to the main street and located at the second floor. So do bring some earplugs. During our stay some men were fixing the road so we were up for 2 hours at least during midnight.
6. Plenty of street parking.
7. Some guests were smoking weed at the common area.
8. Internet is spotty and unstable.

The location is excellent, in the town center, with many restaurants and supermarkets nearby. It's convenient for visiting the volcano and close to the airport. Cleanliness, at least superficially, seems acceptable. Breakfast ends around 8:00 or 8:30, consisting of chocolate waffles and coffee… Is there a deposit for check-in? All credit card information was manually entered, which was a first for me and made me very uneasy afterwards. My security code was also specifically verified… I suggest checking if cash is available.

Very efficient and well-organized facility. I didn't appreciate the requirement to have my photo taken for check-in, since this information is already present on the ID provided.

Super convenient hotel, with chocolate pancakes in the morning, warm and thoughtful service, clean and tidy. Located in the center of Hilo, there is a free parking lot next to it

We did cancel the hostel, because no toilet in the room , we have to use public restrooms, please credit my account, they promised to return my money

Short walk from the bus terminal. Very friendly, dedicated staff. Pancake breakfast was a nice bonus, though not particularly delicious. Live Volcano TV and a nice lounge. Unfortunately, there are no outlets by the bed, limited space in the room, and it's noisy due to the street. Bathrooms aren't always clean, showers are too small, and there's no room for clothes or shelves. Outlets don't work for large adapters.

Very good, the hotel must be renovated, because after you stay there, you will know the environment inside, including all aspects are very good, everyone must pay attention to it

The room is clean and hygienic. As a youth hostel, the private double room does not have a private bathroom. The service is good and the staff is very considerate. The only problem is that it is facing the street and is really noisy.

Very good youth hostel, stayed for 11 nights. No deposit required. Met friends from all over the world who came here to travel, and had a great time communicating. The hostel's kitchen is good, and I cooked many delicious dishes. I highly recommend it.
