The staff here was extremely welcoming. Definitely satisfied with my stay. The parking was $10, spent the difference on food and shopping- very quiet dorm-like floor.

It's Fun to Stay at the YMCA

YMCA offers affordable safe housing for people who may not have the ability to get conventional housing for whatever reason. I stayed here until my apartment was ready. It was an affordable flexible alternative to the high price hotels that surround it. The building is aged, but patched together like an heirloom quilt offering warmth and comfort. The staff are just as charming. Coffee and water in the lounge, and washer and dryer on the 5th floor. Not to mention you are in the heart of the busy downtown area. Shopping, restaurants, and of course the crystal clear ocean. You get to experience Hilton's Friday night fireworks without paying Hilton prices. Also the food trucks outside your door. You have privacy in your room, shared bathroom, but if you are a young explorer this is a good alternative to vacation on a dime. Don't sleep on the YMCA, instead sleep at the YMCA.

YMCA is not a stay like a hotel, nor a motel, not a hostel. This place is predominantly a community shelter and youth cheap option, considering the advantage of be in a very central position. The cleaning is definitely poor, but staff do their best to make this a better place every day. Lots of community initiatives promoting to give a safe healthy space to live, with affordable pricing to those ones most disadvantaged.

My prior reviews were accurate at the time but staying for multiple days, the combination of 24/7 road noise and uncomfortable temperatures even with the oscillating fan made my stay pretty tough. Maybe I’m just homesick and irritable haha. But it’s a decent, affordable stay for Honolulu close to the largest open air shopping center in the world.

I have stayed at, and continue to stay at this property because of its no frills rooms, great location, and privacy. Accommodation in Honolulu is extremely expensive, and this property is affordable for all travelers. Anytime I’m traveling through Honolulu on the way to my destination, I choose this property.

I understand it was cheap but the place was so dirty! The lobby area looked clean but once you got to the room, it was so dusty, drawings on the wall and the windows was super dirty. It was dorm feeling indeed but this was worse! There was mold in the shower and shower curtain. This has to be there dirtiest place I’ve ever been. Also there was a ball of hair on the ground. The room was super hot.

The front staff was very rude and kept saying she just started and didnt know anything. I expected a simple room for the price but didnt find anything very clean and the pillow was awful. The bed was actually ok but since theres no AC and only shutter windows you could hear everything and everyone outside at all hours. I would not stay here again.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was extremely basic -, no aircon and clearly not the room featured in the photos. Pretty much anything metal was rusty. The one bathroom per floor was pathetic: one of two toilets was out of order and, as I recall, two of five sinks were out of order. I do a lot of travel on the fairly cheap and this was probably the second worst place I've stayed. You do not want to know about the worst! ;(
