Do you have extra sunscreen, womens products, shampoo, or maybe just something you dont want anymore? Great! So long as it is packaged properly and not going to cause any odors or attract any bugs you are very welcome to leave it in the bin labeled "for other guests" next to the bathroom in your room.  This way other guests know it is free to use. 

You may receive mail at Waikiki Beachside Hostel during your stay. Please note that any mail arriving more than 30 days after your departure will be returned to the sender, unless you have made prior arrangements with our staff.

We are located at, 2556 Lemon Road Honolulu, HI 96815 #B101, just inside the green gate and look for the green awnings for our reception. 

Taxis are available for pick-up at the airport in the center median outside of baggage claim these typically cost 50 - 65 USD and take about 20 minutes to reach Waikiki.

Shuttles are available for walk-ups and/or through bookings made on their websites. They cost around 25 USD, and will drop you off at our front door. A shuttle takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

We recommend using either Roberts Hawaii, VIP Transport, or Speedi Shuttle.

The city bus costs $3 and takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the hostel on route #19 or #20. If you take the bus get off at the Waikiki Marriot stop, walk towards the beach for about 100m, then turn left at the ABC store. Our entrance is the green gate before the Moped shop.

Please keep in mind that if you choose to take the bus, all of your belonging should be able to fit in your lap (no roll on luggage is allowed) and exact change is needed in cash as they do not give change or accept any cards other than the HOLO Card (The Bus card).

*A HOLO card can be purchased at any ABC store and saves you money should you need to use the bus quite often during your time in Hawaii

At that time of the morning, you may go by taxi/uber or take a shuttle. The Roberts Hawaii and SpeediShuttle companies run at those times, but must be arranged in advance. The taxi services typically charge a flat rate of $29, while uber and shuttle prices vary.

All rental car services around Oahu are available online for reservations. We recommend using Hotwire.com and Turo.com to rent a car.

*Please note that most car rentals will be located at the airport. 

There is a moped shop next to our hostel. We offer 10% discount for our guests to rent them!
