Great place to be for those who in need of place to sleep affordably. Sure it is not for everyone but certainly there will be people who will greatly appreciate a place like this. YMCA is doing great service to our community. Thank you YMCA.

Parking was easy and convenient. The Central YMCA is across from Ala Moana shopping center which has everything you could possibly need. It is also huge and confusing. The Y was a blessing. Accommodations in the area are exorbitant so finding a reasonable place was a relief. It’s an old building so it’s a bit dingy but a private room, a place to sleep… that’s all I needed.

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?
