It's a lovely place, though Hilo itself is a bit run down. Itxs a great place to stay if you are going to go hiking, or to a much less crowded beach, but just know that dining is limited and nightlife is almost non-existent.

this is our first time staying in a hostel, at was a wonderful experience we had a private room with two beds. It was really clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The bathroom were very large and really nice. The other travelers were very nice also. Not at all what I was expecting. Would definitely stay here again.

Very organized and most important extremely customer service oriented. Atmosphere is very laid back and friendly which is more the case with a hostel setup. However, this establishment is the benchmark in this criteria. //. Also, very well located in Hilo town for various activities.

The hostel is very good itself! The staff is very nice and is easy to communicate with. The activities are also a big plus. However, during my 6 nights stay, I had two louder nights. Not from outside or from younger people having fun, but from elderer people. If the maximum age would be 40 or 45, it would've been a nicer stay and the atmkspehere would've been more fun.

The front desk is nice and the hostel is a good and friendly place to socialize. My only complaint is the lack of quietness. The quiet hours are 11pm. So if you want to have a good rest after hours of flying, it is hard to get. In the early morning, you also hear the movement in the kitchen. If you don't mind the noise, it is a decent place to stay.

The staff overall was very friendly. The property was fixed up nicely, good secure lockers, and fun things to do in Hilo. The free tours were a great surprise. I enjoyed the Kona Beach day, Green Sand Beach hike and the chasing waterfalls (twice). Cool people from around the world... Very Spective Earthian!

This was my second time staying at a hostel ever and as an immigrant Asian American I can tell you now that you should do a little due diligence to get a feel for what type of hostel you want to stay at. This was more of a community and the travelers there that want to share experiences with each other. I didn’t understand this until I found out days later that there was a community chat. All in all it was a good experience where I made more friends and spent some adventures with other travelers.

Great place. Everything you need! But my experience was a very nice girl the initial night turned into a not nice person the next night in the kitchen. Literally pushed her way through and was slamming pots, pan and plates. So much attitude. Totally RUDE and unmerited. Hopefully this was just bad luck and a bad mood. Maybe she needs a vacation. Travel is about humility not attitude. The place itself was stellar. If you happen to run into this gem set her straight…she is kid, working in a hostel that needs to grow up.
