Reviews

the seaview ave hostel in Manoa remains relaxed and congenial - I have enjoyed their hospitality many times over the past 20 years and regret the passing of the hostel's founding couple. I also regret the change in HI-USA policy from allowing on site purchase of HI membership to internet only purchase, which strikes me needlessly restrictive and retarded.

Thank you for your comment and review. The decision to purchase HI memberships via the internet is a decision at the HI-USA level. Perhaps someone who has an email and is comfortable with the internet can assist you with the purchase of one....an email is sent to verify the purchase and a copy of the transaction and 'card' ensues. Take care!

Had a wonderful stay at this hostel owned and run by a local Hawaiian family. Beds were comfortable, restrooms were clean, and the windy conditions in the area at night made it very comfortable to sleep even in the absence of any air conditioning. A very chill place in the Manoa area out of the touristy Waikiki Beach area, and well connected through TheBus lines. Thank you to Auntie Sue, Auntie Joanna, and Kris for being such wonderful people and making the stay so pleasant!

Many thanks for your kind words! Being in a residential area for 50 years makes this more 'chill' and we try to have a local flavor. Good travels to you!

Dear Madam or Sir, I have been double-charged. I myself stayed in the HI-Honolulu. I am sorry I made a mistake that I didn't changed 2 persons to 1 person when I booked the HI. I want my money back. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Liang WANG, e-mail:1311935212@qq.com

I hope you received an answer on May 20 when we first answered....here it is again: We understand you made a mistake by marking that two of you will come to the hostel on May 4 when indeed there was just you. As you made a reservation with the HIUSA site - 12% was automatically deducted from your credit card that went straight to HIUSA to support the nonprofit organization. When you checked in the deposit for one person (you) for four nights was deducted. The other amount is not refundable. Please take care - happy travels!....Take care.
