There are FREE lockers in every room, you just have to bring YOUR OWN lock. The lockers are small, and meant for your valueables such as wallet and passport, not your entire luggage.

We do not offer free breakfast, but there is a self-service kitchen so that guests can cook their own meals. There are also several nearby restaurants that offer continental breakfast ranging from $3-$8.
CAN I DRINK ALCOHOL AT THE HOSTEL?
We don't allow alcohol. Hawaii has a lot of things to offer in form of activities during the morning, day, & night. We want to be the "home-base" for you to come home to after exploring the islands, cook yourself a meal & mingle with other backpackers or use our free wifi to catch up with friends. If you prefer hostels that focus on drinking and keeping you in the hostel, consider the other hostels in Waikiki.
