(Honolulu)
 "This hostel has a fun and relaxed vibe, perfectly fitting for a laid-back beach holiday in the heart of a bustling tourist mecca. The Location By far and away the best feature of this hostel is the location. Dwarfed in all directions by hotel accommodation at four times the price, the hostel is located one street back from Kalakaua Avenue, the main beach road that hugs the world famous...

 "Accommodation is expensive in Waikiki -- one of the cheapest hostels is the Polynesian Hostel Beach Club. Located on Lemon Rd, it's next to three other well known budget accommodations. The location is awesome -- barely a block from the famous Waikiki Beach. There's also an ABC shop close by, great for self-catering options. The building is showing its age, but is generally clean and tidy...
(Honolulu, Waikiki)
 "The Waikiki HI is centrally located and close to the bus routes and beach. It is an older three-story greenish building with tight security on a fairly quiet street. Check-in is upstairs. There is no elevator, but there are stairs. A key deposit is required for the key. The rooms are clean (with fans) and have shelves to store your stuff. They also provide small lockers in the room for...
(Haleiwa)
 "I highly recommend this place! The owners are super nice! It's $30 US a night for the shared four-bunk room and more for private rooms, but it's MUCH cleaner and nicer than other hostels. It has spacious, bright rooms, and an AMAZING garden surrounds the deck and courtyards. It's very quiet; the ocean sounds like it's crashing at your window (but not too loudly!) It's about an hour's walk...
(Honolulu)
 "Seaside Hawaiian Hostel is centrally located in Waikiki. Take any Waikiki bus and get off at Kuhio and Seaside. The bus stops in front of the Trade Center. Cross Kuhio and stay on the righthand side of Seaside. The Seaside Hostel sign is on a yellow surfboard about 200 metres from the corner. The hostel offers male, female and co-ed dorms. The dorms have six bunkbeds, their own bathroom...
(Haleiwa)
 "While on Oahu, I have been staying at the Cove for 5 of the last 10 years. I have stayed down town (noisy) and on the westside (Sunny, Warm and a long drive to anywhere on the Island) and at another Hostel on the northshore across from Three Tables beach (Dirty,Loud,yuck! but nice people in the same boat I was in). Sharks Cove is by far the cleanest Hostel in Hawaii. The owners, John and...

 "This hostel is very laid-back, surrounded by lots of vegetation. It is one of the properties in a quiet residential neighborhood, comprised of several rather old buildings. One newer building has private rooms and houses Japanese exchange students. This is where the clean and comfortable TV room is located. The other buildings are rather old and the owner, a knowledgeable friendly old...
(Haleiwa)
 "Backpackers is an easy-to-reach-by-bus hostel. The bus stops in front of the hostel and the name appears on the screen in the bus. The Backpacker bus also picks guests up when they make prior arrangements. There are airport and hostel pick-ups and drop-offs around noon. Guests with rented cars could park at all three locations (Beach House, Main House, and Plantation Village). Kam Highway is a...
(Haleiwa)
 "This place was fun, but run down. The cabins were really cool - 6 people in each. It reminded me of camp - wooden bunk beds & only somewhat clean. The location is amazing, 5 min bike ride from Pipeline & many other great surf spots. Had a great time here!" … "Avoid this place at all costs! It looks nothing like the pictures. The bathroom walls were black with mold, a dead rat had been...

 "I felt very at home with the warm and gracious YWCA Fernhurst staff! (ok the complimentary meals wouldn't earn a five star Michelin rating, but I can totally live on the green salads alone!)" … "Please visit our website at www.ywcaoahu.org" … 1566 Wilder Avenue


Oahu Travel Tips & Suggestions

Comment by Warwick
Oahu is a beautiful Island. Many beautiful places to stay. But I stress that you should venture out of Waikiki. Haleiwa and the North Shore are the places to be. Such a wonderful part of the Island even if you are not a surfer. Book accommodation early though on the North Shore if you intend to go December through to February. So many travellers I've spoken to only do Honolulu and this is not what I believe Hawaii is about. East Coast is great too. Have fun.
Comment by David
Great place! I spent a week here last March (2005) and had a fantastic time. Make sure to get out of the city and enjoy some of the countryside and northshore too! The western side of the island is nice as well as its not too touristy due to the fact that the coastal road dead ends near the northwest corner of the island. If you've never been to the island before I would suggest one of the many circle island tours to get a feel for the place. When you've done this you can spend the rest of your time going back and seeing the things you liked. You can get a 4 day bus pass good for any bus on the island for $20 or buy a month pass for $40.
