1人旅としてコスパ最強の宿
Pros:

ロイヤルハワイアンセンター、インターナショナルマーケットプレイスからすぐ側にあり、ビーチへも数分でアクセスできる立地の良さがとても良かった。バス停もすぐそこにあり、空港からバスを利用する際も便利だった。
設備も十分整っていて、ハワイに物価を考慮すればとてもコスパの良い滞在だった。

Cons:

シャワーの水圧が若干弱いところが気になった。
シャワールームの脱衣スペースが狭く、物を置く場所も少なく不便だった。

Amazing staff… I think some have a photographic memory. Probably the best location you could ask for in Waikiki. Super c
Pros:

The staff is amazing, the location is amazing!!!

Cons:

For whatever reasons, females aren’t flushing the toilet. A reminder to flush might make it more tangible than a “keep things clean” sign in the stalls.

Bonne alternative entre un hotel et une auberge. Un peu rigide...
Pros:

Sensation d'intimité meme si le dortoir était rempli. Ambiance japonaise, moquette et chaussons pour se déplacer. L'emplacement aussi était bien, a quelques pas de la plage de Waikiki. Assez cher mais je recommande quand meme. Jolie vue depuis les parties communes.

Cons:

Très peu de matériel de cuisine (1 seul couteau qui coupe pour toute l'auberge!!!). La consigne pour laisser ses bagage est très chère : 10$ par bagage. Je trouve ça un peu abusé. Le saune aussi est une boite dans un coin d'un couloir derrière un rideau et payant. Je ne l'ai pas utilisé.
