Is It Cheaper to Stay in a Waikiki Hostel?

Yes, and it’s not even close. Hostel beds can cost less than half the price of a budget hotel room. At Waikiki Beachside Hostel, the current $29 dorm rate makes it one of the most affordable places to stay in all of Oahu. But for many travelers, it’s not the price that leaves a lasting impression. It’s the atmosphere.

Here, budget doesn’t mean boring. Every night brings something new. Whether it's live music, group outings, movie nights, or spontaneous beach hangs, you're never on your own unless you want to be.

Hostel vs Airbnb vs Hotel: What’s Right for You?

It all depends on what you’re looking for:

Choose a hostel if you:

• Want to meet other travelers
• Like being social
• Want to save money
• Don’t mind sharing space

Choose an Airbnb if you:

• Want more privacy
• Are traveling as a couple or family
• Prefer cooking your own meals

Choose a hotel if you:

• Want daily cleaning and fresh towels
• Prefer quiet and service
• Are on a short, luxury-focused trip

For solo travelers or anyone wanting to meet new people, hostels often offer more than just a bed. They create a built-in community from the moment you check in.
