Pros:

The facilities were clean and staff were very nice and helpful. I had a couple of concerns, but for the price, it was a relatively good stay. 1) I was supposed to have a designated locker with my booking, but the one I was assigned couldn’t be opened (even by the staff) and for some reason they wouldn’t just re-assign me a new one, so I went without. 2) the “mattress” was not a mattress, it was a thin mat like you’d find in a gym. The website descriptions could be more accurate in this regard, as it clearly states there will be a comfortable twin mattress and that’s not true.

Overall, no regrets and would stay there again if needed.

Pros:

During my 6 night stay at First cabin International Hawaii I found the capsule style hotel to be very cozy. They were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location is great I didn't even need to rent a car as all food and shopping is within walkable and bikeable distance. There's also a really cool skybar located on the 21st or 22nd story in the same building and has great happy hour food and drinks.Truly I had a great vacation there and will return to stay at the hotel! Thanks so much to the crew at first cabin! Mahalo!

I did not know about the airport shuttle when I arrived, once at the hotel staff told me about the shuttle and in great detail of which I appreciate. The facilities were clean and tidy. Staff took care of my suitcases before my check in time which was very helpful.

Pros:

Did not like the fact they charged my card two days before my stay. I called and sent an email, I was told it was on hold until after my stay. But yet when I got there, they had already charged my card. So I told girls and the manager what was said, and they was able to credited me back so i could use my other card. So I was happy about that.It was nice really cant complain. Just not my cup of tea. I don't know what you call that thing that was on the bed. A feather bed, it didn't have enough feathers period. It looked comfortable in the pictures,but I don't know, it is was un comfortable. The bed underneath was hard as a rock. TV was hanging to high,almost broke my neck. Location was hard to find.

Pros:

The pictures and reviews are misleading. It is a hostel that smells like a nasty gym locker room. Everything seems dirty.
