It Worked

It served as a safe harbor with a bed. That's all we were looing for. Hotels.com had the wrong address, so we had to call the hostel to find the location. A little less than we expected in terms of number of showers and toilets. Staff was friendly, and we met other travelers. Some tiny ants in the room near any food left outside the fridge.

Misleading

The pictures on the website are very misleading and staged. The room had major paint peeling, bed was uncomfortable, thin sheets,pillow shams instead of cases( Who knows when these were washed) had to ask for towels, forgot to make coffee on cont breakfast. I'm on Maui for business every three months and this is definitely a place I'm crossing off my list

most disgusting room I have been in

1) we got the night before an email letting us know that the room was canceled from the hotel side, 2) It took us that night 1,5 h to reach the Hostel and they fixed it When we arrived everything was very relaxed but unfortunately the cleaning of the room, too. Bath: No extra toilet paper, full garbage cans from the visitors before, leaking shower with a wet towel in front of it, only one temperature for the water, extra turn off at the shower head (other didn't work), with foam fixed wall corner, moldy wood Bedroom: missing window part in the bedroom window Kitchen: The coffee was set up, but the oversaw that the garbage can was overflowing (with the empty coffee bad on top), and the overall was very dirty

A place to lay my head

I missed my plane and didn't want to spend a couple hundred dollars to rest my head so I took a chance. The room sucked but I expected that. I really wanted to take a shower but there was a dead coca roach in the bathroom area and something I could not describe in the shower so I passed on the shower and fell asleep. It was quiet although I may have been the only one there. The dude at the front desk was very sweet.

Not the Taj Mahal but it is clean and affordable.

I recently stayed at the Hostel City Maui when coming to meet family. Although it is not a 4 star hotel, but it is clean. It is an old, basic motel in the center of Kahalui. I had a private room with a bath. Although the room was clean, don't expect any amenities ie. shampooo, soap, desk, chair, or cable tv. There is a tv in the room that plays dvds (bring your own). There is good free wifi, a continental breakfast that comes with your room and a kitchen area so you may cook your own food is you like. This was the cheapest room in Maui $95 (tax included) and you get what you pay for. This island is over rated for what it is. Yes the island is green, because tourist bring their money here.

Good in a pinch

I needed a place at the last minute near the airport. It will do in a pinch. The rooms are small. The bed was not very comfortable, but was clean. The staff was nice. It felt a little sketchy.The price is a bit much for the condition of the hotel, but you do have access to a kitchen and a basic continental breakfast.

cross between amityville horror & the shining

What staff? There was no one there to check me in when I got there at three in the afternoon. It was a scary looking place and I decided immediately that I would not stay. The door was locked with a sign saying that they would return at two, but no one was there at three.

an older facility that is an economic alternative

for a budget minded single student or traveling budget minded couple this place is an affordable alternative on a relatively expensive touristy tropical island. Although the facilities are dated, not new that is. a short stay will be pleasant because of the amicable staff, and all the money you will save to explore the island. Near to the only airport OGG is an advantage.

Basic, relatively cheap room

If you want a cheap (by Maui standards) room with bed and shower this will get the job done. Kitchen access (BYO groceries) and a basic breakfast that gives you enough to start the day. Check the map as it is a little difficult to spot the exact spot when driving.

A monumental disappointment.

Beyond third world facility and a monumental waste of time. The facility was right next to the projects with bums and questionable looking characters wandering around. If you sat on the end of the bed it would become unstable. The structure of the building was made of wood and was in a very poor condition of disrepair and upkeep. The wooden flooring just outside of the shower was water logged and decayed to the point that a hole was formed and given time, someone could fall through to the ground floor (the room was located on the second floor). The shower dripped all night with an irritating and audible sound. No air condition, television, internet and the portable fan in the room was dirty. The toilet was separated from the bedroom only by a cloth screen. The room needed painting and the vinyl flooring tiles needed replacing. Some of the electrical outlets did not work and the one right next to the "bathroom" faucet was not code rated GFCI, the entrance/exit door was rickety and did not close flush. For a price of $94 per night, one would expect the basics. As a person who has travelled to many countries all over the world (including third world countries in the Caribbean, central and south America) for various reasons, this is the worst hotel I have seen and is beyond anyone's wildest imagination - more so in the US. I do not see how the City & Council inspectors would even allow a place like this to exist. For the second floor, there is only one means of access/egress.

Very dirty. Full of cockroaches.

My room had a lot of ants and cockroaches. The bathroom light was not working, and the cold faucet knob on the sink was broken so I could only use hot water. So cramped and the TV did not have cable. Nothing was supplied - not even towels and the toilet paper was so little.
