This is not a hotel, this is low income short term housing marketed as a hotel in an attempt to trick unsuspecting travellers into booking cheap accommodations. It becomes very clear when you check in and they hand you a "hand book" of rules. Rule books that say they will do random room checks, and not to leave valuable items in your room unattended as they risk being stolen. Once I checked I immediately found cockroaches in my room and noticed the stained sheets. The next morning I found bed bugs crawling under the door of the another room I had to leave the next day due to family emergency and they only offered to refund me 50% I was there for a total of 9 hours, I will be pursuing a full refund through my credit card as the services provided were not as advertised. Do not stay here

とにかく便利なロケーション。徒歩10分以内のバス停で島中ほぼどこにでも行けるし、ウォルマート、ドンキホーテ、アラモアナビーチパーク、ホノルルマラソンスタート地点などが徒歩圏内。有料でパーキングもあり。ただひとつ、この宿のコンディションを許容できるかどうか。共同シャワーも少しハードル高め。自分は今までたくさんのドミトリに泊まってきましたが、ココは今回で２回目、多分次回もお願いしますが、全日程ココではないかも。 Thank you Hikaru, you are the best✌️

Let me start this review by saying that everyone on the staff here was very kind and friendly, and it is evident that they are trying to turn this place around. That said, and its current state, this place is like a mixture of a hostel and a homeless shelter. The room was clean, but the shared bathrooms were disgusting. It was nice having my own room, but the hallways looked like you were saying in an insane asylum. Paint was chipping all over the walls. Lights were flickering this place easily could have passed as a haunted house. If you are looking for a cheap clean place to stay, I guess this would be OK but you need to be comfortable that the bathrooms are disgusting.

The staff were amazing . Very accommodating with my needs. The building is old and very clean considering. The room was SO hot and overhead fan did not work. The beds are covered in bed bug covers which are plastic like so that make the hot room feel hotter for sleeping. Need hooks in shower area! Would stay again if the rooms were better vented/aired?

I was surprised to discover that Expedia offers bookings for the YMCA. The accommodations are quite basic and resemble more of a transitional housing facility than a standard hotel. Each floor is separated by gender and features shared restroom facilities, including only two toilets, one urinal, and two showers for the entire floor. Overall, the experience did not align with typical expectations for an Expedia-listed property.

The YMCA rooms are bare bones - very Spartan but clean and comfortable. The first night I was there the lights in my room did not work, but they were fixed the next morning. The staff is freindly and efficient, and the place is a four minute walk to the Hawaii Convention Center. A big downside is that since the rooms are not air conditioned, you have to keep the windows open, and the street is EXTREMELY noisy. There are motorcycles and muscle cars revving their engines as they drive on the major road in front of the residence. I suggest asking for a room away from the street. The noise dies down around midnight. Ala Moana Park is about a ten minute walk away, and the ocean beach there is quite good. The residence has what I suspect are some long term residents, many of whom may be on public assistance. However, the YMCA requires that you pass a background check and a check of the sex offender registry before you arrive, so the place is safe and secure. Don't be put off by the sharps containers on every floor as well as an AED and naloxone at the front desk. After the initial small shock when I first saw the interior and my room, I quite enjoyed staying there. There is a nice, large patio out front and free coffee in the lobby. The bed was comfortable, and all the plumbing in my private bathroom worked well. There is housekeeping once a week. There are also rooms that use community bathrooms. Across the street is the very large Ala Moan shopping center with food courts.

Clean room. NO air conditioning. Had a fan. They had trouble finding a key to a room. The building outside the room is old and dingy. There are a variety of people that are at the lower end of the scale, this is a place where people go who can't afford better. Staff were nice and friendly. They require a security check based on your ID, they check a database for sex offenders. Huge mall (Ala Moana) that is very nice right across the street. 3 lunch trucks right next door. City buses are excellent, you can take one to Waikiki Beach. Ala Moana Beach park is close.
