Howzit Hostels Hawaii

1.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (18)
"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."

"The Thomas Guard house made it a memorable stay in Hilo, where we came for a special family celebration.
