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.

Hostel City Maui

ホテルが突然場所が移動しており、現地で探すのに困った。また専用バスルームの部屋で予約したにも関わらず共有バスルームの部屋に変更されていたり、朝食付きと書いてあるのに朝食が７：００に用意されていなかったり、ホテルの紹介のWEB画面と実態が違うのに大変がっかりした。部屋を途中で変更してもらってその部屋は専用バスルームだったが、カーテンが薄くて通路を通る人から部屋の中がうっすらと見えてしまうのでプライバシーにも問題があった。

SCAM

Room 8'x14', no chair, toilet not anchored to floor, mattres smells urine, room dirty, cocroaches, a slum for 100$ US for the night. Erase that "hotel" from your list if you don't want to loose your name.

Dieses Hostel ist eins der schlimmsten in denen ich je war. Unsauber, heiß und ohne richtige Lüftung in den Zimmern und mit inkompetenten und unfreundlichen Personal. Nie wieder!

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.

このホテルは最悪。星➖3。

人生経験上最悪のホテル。一泊1000〜2000円なら我慢できるが、一泊7000円の宿泊料はいかにも高すぎる。2泊もして、気がめいった。 シャワーはお湯が出ないし、修理依頼をしても無しのつぶて。また、そのシャワールームの不潔さ、電気の暗さには参った。朝食も期待はずれ、これが朝食といったレベル。宿泊は絶対に勧めない。 ホテルズコムもちゃんと調査をして、このホテルは掲載から外すべし。そうでなければ、信頼に傷が付く。

Super nette Besitzer, Lage ok, Zimmer auch ok

Wir waren zuerst im Zimmer Nr. 10, das war etwas klein für 2 Personen mit großen Rucksäcken&Koffern. Wir haben gefragt,ob es möglich ist in ein anderes Zimmer umzuziehen.Die Besitzerin war so freundlich,sie hat uns gleich 2 andere Zimmer gezeigt,wo wir uns eins aussuchen konnten&sogar gesagt,dass wir dann in das große Zimmer Nr. 6 können,wenn es frei ist.Wir haben uns dann für das Zimmer Nr. 3 entschieden,es waren Stockbetten und ein abgetrenntes Bad.In den anderen Zimmern war das eher ein integriertes Bad,das hat uns nicht so gefallen.Das Bad in Zimmer 3 war auch schön groß,die Stockbetten waren etwas klein und niedrig,aber ok.Ein Kühlschrank war im Zimmer,das war super.Ein paar Haken fehlten an der Wand,um Sachen aufzuhängen,sonst war es total ok für ein Hostel. Die Besitzer war so unglaublich lieb und nett zu uns,sie haben uns angeboten,dass sie uns nach Kihei fahren oder uns zum Flughafen bringen am letzten Tag.Wir durften sogar an unserem Abreisetag am Abend noch einmal ins Zimmer&uns duschen,da unser Flug erst um 21 Uhr ging.Das war so super freundlich.Außerdem hat die Besitzerin einen günstigen Mietwagen für uns ausgecheckt&uns total viele gute Tipps gegeben,was wir auf Maui alles machen müssen. Ein Frühstück ist auch dabei&das war auch echt gut.Es gab Kaffee, Toast,eine Art Brötchen,abwechslungsweise Muffins oder Cinnamon Rolls, Marmelade,Erdnussbutter,Tee, Haferbrei in verschiedenen Geschmacksrichtungen.Für ein Hostel finde ich es echt top!Ich würde wieder kommen!
