Super fun hostel in the heart of Hilo. They offer a daily activity so don't book any excursions until you see what they have to offer. The staff was great! Shoutout to Colette, Rose, and the tour guide who took us up to Mauna Kea for the sunset (sorry "J" I am AWFUL with names but thank you for a great tour!). The free chocolate chip pancakes and coffee in the morning are a great way to start the day. Howzit was an incredibly reasonable rate for a comfortable place to stay and a clean, comfortable bed to sleep in. Can't wait to come back and visit again soon.

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.

6/10 Good

I had a 2-week stay there and it was like living in a frat-house! Staff was mostly inattentive to the facilities and guest unless they were flirting with them. The kitchen was dirty most of the time-I did a complete cleaning 5 times because no one cleaned up after themselves. Outlets in the bunks didn’t work most of the time. I would not EVER stay there again

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 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!

8/10 Very good

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.
