Excellent place for spend a night or 2 nights. It’s close to the beach, mall and different areas.

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.

Best deal for single traveler in Honolulu! My single room was clean and near the elevator. Grant was kind and helped me get checked in. Exchanged my electric fan, gave tips on places to eat. Diego was also very kind, recommended the food truck nearby, the fish tacos were great! Busy street, but got quieter after 9:30. Just used eye mask and earplugs to get good sleep. Ala Moana Center is across the street, 3-min walk to Liliha Bakery for breakfast, close to beach, close to bus stop, If you have a car, best deal for overnight parking (covered) $10/nite on site! No A/C but with a fan (provided, and a USB personal fan, was comfortable at night. I needed to iron my clothes for a memorial service and they provided an iron with standup board. After second night, they cleaned my room, fresh sheets and towel. IMHO this is a hidden jem for hotel: 8-min walk to Convention Center, near to Waikiki and town. Highly recommended! Great alternative to hostel!

Not a standard business trip stay but fits the bil

Not a standard business trip stay, but Honolulu was overbooked and YMCA fit the bill. Location is amazing. Facilities very simple but adequate, and staying there felt like contributing to a community, rather than a random hotel company.

Shared toilets,shared showers. Bed sheet change once a week. Noisy because my room was facing a big load. Not so bad.

Location is excellent. I just needed a bed for a few hours and a shower in the morning. Low price low expectations.
Trevor, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

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.

Everything is old. The bathrooms are not very clean, and you can not bring alcohol into the room. But the staff is awfully nice and helpful.

6/10 Good

This place has shared restrooms and showers. Some floors are male only, Co-ED and female only. Don’t expect tip top stuff, it is a budget place for a reason. The great thing is it is across a popular mall and walkable. At night it can get noisy since the street is right below and cars love to rev their engines or honk. Restrooms smell bad for males. 1 toilet for many rooms since the other was out of service. 2/6 sinks were not working. There’s also 2 shared showers which is weird. They did provide amenities such as a toothbrush, shampoo, towels etc upon request.

2/10 Poor

I originally booked the hotel from 09OCT24-14OCT24. When I arrived at the hotel the evening of 09OCT24 at approximately 2200 and I arrived to my room, the one thing I noticed was that there wasn’t a bathroom in the bedroom. I went downstairs and spoke to someone at the front desk, and was informed that there were shared bathrooms in the hallway. The advertisement on the Orbitz app when I originally registered for the hotel did not mentioned anything about a shared bathroom. Because I already paid fully for the room, I decided to stick it through. On 10OCT24 at approximately 1200, I went into the shared bathroom. When I walked to the showers, I notified the showers were absolutely filthy. There’s mold on the floor, showers smell terrible, the tiles look dusty, and there was a random piece of soap on the floor. I was not going to take a shower. I called Orbitz customer service informed them about how their ad did not mention anything about shared bathrooms and the showers were filthy. I was informed that I was going to get refund. I registered to stay at different hotel that evening until 14OCT24. I informed management about the issue and they told me that they would not provide me a refund after I told them about the issue. To make a long story short I was not issued a refund. I highly do not recommend staying at this hotel. They stole my money. The place is an absolute mess. Orbitz needs to do a better job providing a description about the hotel for customers.

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.

Brian, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Daniel, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
