Location is absolutely superior! Just minutes away from the beach, many restaurants and attractions. The place itself is very clean and looked after, friendly staff. Another awesome thing (for me at least), is that there is no physical room key, just a phone app so you don't have to worry about losing/misplacing your keys. There's also a kitchen and fridge available (not in the rooms), and free beach towels to use on a daily basis! :) Would definitely return if I'm on a solo trip to Honolulu again!

One of my dorm roommates was snoring incredibly loud throughout some of the nights, which was disturbing to me and other roommates. According to property rules, after 10pm it's supposed to be quiet hours, and he might as well have been playing music with that level of noise... I could've asked to be moved, but I doubt all three of us would have been for one person. Wish there was a way to limit snorers to private rooms only... but that's really my only complain, and it's not related to the facility itself.

Very friendly and competent staff.Rooms and bathrooms were thoroughly cleaned each day. I loved the international travelers I met. The hostel has a very positive vibe. Young or old, we were all curious about each other and heard great life stories and dreams. The hostel is indeed a very short block from the beach. Bus 20 gets you there from the airport to within a 30 second walk for a $3.00 fare. With the bus system the whole island can be explored.

The mattreses were old (but not smelly). In spite of this, I slept well each night. Cutlery and mugs disappeared at an alarming rate. Really, cohostelers, is this necesary?? We spend hundreds if not over a thousand dollars to get here. Please leave the kitchen stuff others to use. That said, I never felt any concern about my personal stuff.

The location is ideal, half a block away from the beach and plenty of lawn chairs, snorkel gear, wake boards. The facility also has everything you need to prepare for meal. Laundry is also provided for a small fee.

The area is a little loud and their free parking is about a 15 minute walk. I would advise to avoid renting a car on weekends as it was difficult to find a spot

great staff and great location. the room was large with lockers and large bathroom. the social area by the kitchen was also large. the kitchen looked ok, though I didn’t use it.

awful mattress, springs practically popping thru and no electrical sockets near the bed.

Amazing location in Waikiki, close to everything and with a nice gated social area. The staff was friendly; since I was just there for one night they gave me my room code on a piece of paper instead of through the app. I think if you're unable to install the app they'll work with you. They were also very flexible about checkin/out times, just communicate your plans. The sheets had just been washed and were soft and clean. I could hear birds at night and slept so well. Bring your own lock for the bedside locker and bring your sheets down at checkout.

I don't like the idea of installing an app to receive my room code. I also wish the beds had privacy curtains.

location was great, lots of activities, books to borrow, surf boards, snorkeling gear. security was great with the front door and keys/app for the dorms. appreciated having the ensuite in the dorm. bathrooms were cleaned daily. luggage storage was handy.

no hooks in the bathroom to hang towels, no aircon, nowhere to sit in the room, no couches or anywhere comfortable to sit in the common room, pillows were paper thin, sand everywhere in the room.

The Polynesian Beach Club was perfect for my two night stopover in Honolulu. The staff provided a locked space for me to leave my luggage before check-in, and in retrospect I could've probably just stuck around the common area and relaxed in one of the hammocks between my arrival and check-in time. The hostel had a relaxed feel to it, and the beach/shops being so close was ideal too!

It was as clean as any hostel can be. Rooms weren't cleaned every day, but it didn't bother me!

The locatioin is amazing, close to bus stops, Waikiki beach, stores and restaurants. Staff was friendly and helpful, WIFI works great, check-in and check-out are easy and straightforward

There was no air condition in the room, so we left the door open which made me worry about safety of my belongings, though nothing happened to them in the end. The price bites, but everything in Honolulu is expensive, so this is ok

Wonderful stay, fantastic people all around—staff and travelers alike. Everyone is welcoming and make it feel like home away from home. The location is perfect, right next to the beach, the strip, and the bus stop. Wi-Fi is great, large kitchen area and fridge storage space, ample space to work or socialize. There are kitchen supplies, spices, oil, pan spray, etc. available for use, which was nice. A stove, toaster oven, microwave, and fridge. No freezer or oven. Rooms were well-kept and friendly vibe. AC was nice and cold, bunks were comfy. All ages around and definitely best hostel compared to the neighboring ones near Waikiki. Safe location for female traveler, not too noisy at night, but it IS right by the beach, so definitely not silent. Within walking distance of everything and you can meet people to coordinate driving trips. Target is not too far, for more groceries there’s a Safeway about a mile walk up the road, not too far. Overall, loved our time here, definitely the best hostel near Waikīkī.

The hostel was in such a great location, only around 100 metres to the beach. I stayed in a 4 bed mixed dorm and will say that the beds were quite comfy, very spacious & I felt super clean in the room. The overall vibes of the people who were staying there & the facilities that were offered were some of the best that I’ve seen from where I’ve stayed around the world. For what you are paying I feel like you are 100% getting it & maybe a little more.

Unfortunately my room didn’t have AC, which I feel like would have made the room a little cooler than just having 2 large fans going. I also had a member of staff in my room for the last night, who continually left the hostel room door open therefore allowing anyone to access the room which did make me feel uncomfortable with my belongings.
