Howzit Hostels

Property was well-maintained and staff were phenomenal. However, I had trouble sleeping at times because there were a lot of people at the hostel being noisy and people driving very loud cars outside the window while I was asleeep. That is my only issue. No issues in regards to how it is managed or maintained. There are only two refrigerators and space is very limited and crowded in the fridges. Staff explained how to label food items, and nobody took any food I had stored. There are daily activities, all of which were fun. I enjoyed meeting other people from all over the world and sharing stories with them. Overall, I rate Howzit Hostels 4 out of 5 stars, due to heavy noise.

Great and friendly staff, made you feel at home away from home! Plenty of activities to be a part of, definitely going back!

I thought it was great. Everyone was so respectful.

This will have been my second stay, one night, each two years apart before hiking and camping Haleakala. Staff has always been welcoming and friendly. There is first come/first serve parking in a small lot behind the hostel for about $10 night at time of writing. I typically get a private room. Shared bathrooms, clean, didn’t have to wait for use when I needed them. The folks that have stayed here during my times have been friendly to chat with - “good vibes”. There is a public kitchen, accessible washer/dryer, and lounge for hanging out. I often need my PDF backcountry permit printed by front desk, I simply email the one page PDF to them and they afford me a courtesy print of this so I can chill on the volcano. Highly recommended from experienced world traveler.
