Booking paths at a glance

  • Regular priced dorm beds: Book up to 8 people in one reservation when available.
  • Discounted dorm beds: Pay for 1 person at a time. This is best for solo travelers or very small groups who do not need a single combined booking.
  • Four person private rooms: A great choice for families or small groups who want a room to themselves.


Why early booking matters

  • Groups fill rooms fast in Waikiki, especially during holidays and school breaks.
  • Booking early improves your chance to keep your group together in the same dorm.
  • Larger groups should plan timelines and room types before airfare, then lock the beds.

Room types for different needs

  • Female only dorms: Ideal for women who prefer a female only space.
  • Co ed dorms: Mixed gender dorms for groups that want to stay together.
  • Four person private rooms: Share a private space with your own group of four.


Can girls and boys share a dorm room
Yes, you can choose co ed dorm rooms. If your group prefers to split by gender, pick female only dorms for those who want that setting and co ed for the rest. Availability decides final placement, so early requests help.


Can couples sleep in the same dorm
Yes. Couples can share a dorm in the room type they choose. Each person will be charged. Booking both beds at the same time is the easiest way to stay together.

How to choose between discounted and regular priced beds

  • Pick regular priced beds if you want one reservation for up to 8 people when space allows.
  • Pick discounted beds if you are flexible and do not mind paying one person at a time. Note that separate payments do not hold a block for the whole group.
  • If staying together is the top priority, consider a four person private room to remove uncertainty.


Simple booking checklist

  • Decide your group size and ideal room type.
  • Choose dates and have a backup range.
  • If you need up to 8 beds together, aim for regular priced dorms and book early.
  • If you are a group of four, compare a private room with four individual dorm beds.
  • Share your preferences for female only or co ed at the time of booking.
