Not my favorite room. Had to share the bathroom with 8 people. But the staff were friendly and helpful. Location is great. I love how they host events every night and have a gym. They also provide free swimming gears and towels. I made some great connections while staying there. I would go back again.

It was great so much fun and met lots of new interesting friends I will do it again and recommend it to everyone

Very good place to stay in Waikiki. They also have hostel WhatsApp chat, where you can cooperate with people and travel together around the island. They provide free pancakes and coffee for breakfast, always the same. And there are activities for each day of the week, karaoke night was the best for me 😀

The location is excellent, everything is close by, and there are plenty of places to relax on the property. However, the top bunk beds are incredibly uncomfortable and a pain to get into; you have to climb over a barrier – I’ve never encountered anything like it before, and I ended up with bruises on my legs because of it. But if you get a bottom bunk, it's fine, you can tolerate it for a couple of nights.

I stayed alone in a female-only dorm with a kitchen at the hostel.

About the hostel:
1. It's a 3-minute walk to the beach.
2. The W-Line bus ($2.50) goes from the airport directly to the hostel stop (it's a 3-minute walk from there). There are ticket machines for bus passes at the airport.
3. There's a communal kitchen (open from 6:00 AM - 10 PM).
4. You can get beach equipment (like surfboards) for a deposit.
5. There are plenty of food stores and cafes nearby.
6. They offer excursions.
7. There's a locker in the room, but you'll need your own lock.

There's a lot of traffic on the island's roads.

I dont like because I booked and within 5 min cancelled , but refund !!! I informed by mistake , they may minimum charge and refund right ? Worest
12.12.2025 Guest
No hairdryer, no kettle or pot for hot water – it was incredibly basic. Four people squeezed into a tiny room with no TV. There was a washing machine but no detergent. Definitely room for improvement, especially the air conditioning which was freezing cold and so loud it made it hard to sleep. Service, however, was decent.

It was really great to chat with friends from all over the world and go on adventures to volcanoes and waterfalls together. The room was also pretty good; I slept wonderfully every night. I'd definitely consider staying here again next time I'm in Honolulu!

The place is clean, beds are decent and rooms are clean. The staff are lovely and helpful. You can borrow stuff for the beach for free, free pancake Breakie and coffee, and towels to use. They organized activities and have tours you can book. Overall, little older building, but they keep it clean and can’t complain.

The worker had the light on "open" and a sign taped on "we will be right back"... We waited for a hour outside because there was a class going on inside and we tried to get info on when will they be "back" to serve us- the worker said the shop was CLOSED. We wasted a hour waiting. Don't waste your time if you want ice cream if you aren't prepared to spend hundreds of dollars to reserve the entire shop. Oh and the guy was extremely RUDE when he said it was CLOSED with a gesture... They are nice when they want your money, and if there is large group to reserve the shop, you can say goodbye to being treated as a human being.

If you are willing to pay $1.25 for ONE regular Oreo cookie half-dipped in chocolate, you might like this store. Everything else seemed equally overpriced, to me. Even the worker behind the counter found the pricing laughable.

The store was empty besides my wife and I and the worker for the half hour we were there. I did not find that surprising; at those prices, I imagine thay have many one-time visitors / customers.

My wife and I have a small Chocolate company in Colorado and where staying in the Queen Kapiolani for a week. We stumbled into this little shop never knowing they are serious about there sweets! I cant say we ventured into anything in Waikiki that could touch the vibe of this place. No chain, no Franchise, just pure love by the owner who was working. we talked to him for about an hour while enjoying an amazing hand pulled Vanilla Frappe with Kona Beans. He then told us about the chocolate classes and we joined for the upcoming Saturday class. We actually learned more about chocolate in the chocolate class than we ever knew from 20 years of making chocolates! This owner if very passionate about his craft as well as inspiring about Hawaiian Agriculture. Def. Hot spot while in Waikiki! Will be back!

Love these guys. Always friendly and they make great sandwiches.
13.07.2017 Mahmut
Today,we wanted to get tuna sandwich.We have food restrictions.We asked person to change the knife and be careful with paper,which should not touch any other meat.The way the employee (according to him he was the manager)was really weird.He pretended not to hear what we said.It was piece of meat on cheese and we asked not to use it.He literally threw it to side,showing the worst attitude.The owner should take care of this problem and Subway should take care an action about this store do other people will not have similar experience.
24.06.2017 Heather
I normally don't post bad reviews, but I couldn't let this one go. I went in one afternoon during what looked like a pretty slow period. There was one customer ahead of me, paying, and two walking in, with three or four staff members on (maybe more). The staff rushed through and were borderline rude in an attempt to clear their three person line. My sandwich was thrown together in a sloppy mess that fell apart as soon as I opened the paper. The bread was old and crumbly, as if it had been sitting there for days. I couldn't even finish the sandwich as there was mustard pouring out all sides of it, making it impossible to pick up. Really disappointing experience.

Reasonable price for a quick bite

Was my favorite seafood buffet. Closed now.

When they started charging for birthday and and other celebration signs that divers placed in the fish tank that was the first sign that this place was going downhill. Food here was better about 10 years ago.
25.08.2016 Philip
lots of fun for little kids. they are closed for renovations. nobu bar will be opening up here. the "tanked" guys will be building the new aquarium.
09.06.2016 Shane
The aquarium is amazing and there are mermaids in the tank in the evening. The food was so delicious that I have been back multiple times. Each night the buffet changes. The breakfast buffet it huge and has an amazing selection of fruit, pastries, hot and cold choices. Wow
25.03.2016 Todd
The entire restaurant experience revolves around the spectacle of the aquarium. It is very entertaining. They have beautiful women in mermaid outfits that will swim by. Visually memorizing. But based on their food, it's really not worth it.
