My stay at Honu Waikiki by ALOH was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all expectations! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the most wonderful staff who truly made this hostel feel like a home away from home. A special shout-out to Emi (boss ;) ), Paige, and Joe, who were consistently friendly, incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience. Their warm hospitality and genuine care for guests really set Honu Waikiki apart. One of the highlights of my mornings was definitely the delicious morning cookies – a perfect start to each day! I was also incredibly impressed by the dedication of the cleaning personnel. The entire property was impeccably clean everywhere you went, from the common areas to the dorms and bathrooms. This level of cleanliness made for a very comfortable and pleasant stay. Honu Waikiki by ALOH is a gem in Honolulu, offering not just a place to sleep but a vibrant, welcoming community, I have now so many friends from around the world in my instagram, it’s a great place to make new friends. If you're looking for a clean, friendly, and well-managed hostel with an amazing team, look no further. I highly recommend Honu Waikiki to anyone visiting Honolulu – you won't be disappointed!
