Honolulu - The Seaside Hawaiian Hostel is the most centrally located of all the hostels, tucked away in the heart of Waikiki, just off Kuhio Avenue. We are a one minute walk from the International Marketplace, numerous ethnic restaurants and a five minute walk from world famous Waikiki Beach and the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. Ala Wai Canal, Waikiki's most popular jogging/walking course, is ½ block away from our front door. We offer free hikes, tours and/or drop-offs. When you are ready to explore, a major bus-stop is just steps away ($2 gets you all around the island !).


Though we are in the bustling center of Waikiki, we are set back off the street and we enforce quiet hours and partying is not allowed in the rooms so a good night's sleep is more than just a promise. Because we aren't hemmed in by high rise buildings, pleasant Hawaiian trade winds reach your room, providing natural air conditioning. Our large, enclosed Banyan courtyard, with its 80-year old native foliage and European-style Coffee Bar, provides a 'Green Oasis' of tranquility: guests may mingle and enjoy board games, our paperback & DVD library and large screen cable TV.
