Located in Pahoa, 1.1 km from Kaimu Beach, Open Gate Hostel Hawaii provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. 18 km from Lava Tree State Park and 21 km from Lava Tree State Monument, the property features a bar and barbecue facilities. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. The vibe you find at Open Gate Hostel is hard to explain and find somewhere else. Staying here was one of the best decisions I have made throughout my two weeks in Hawaii. Staff is truly super (helpful, friendly, welcoming, helpful) and the people you meet there are just amazing. My private room was large, comfortable, and clean. Bathrooms and kitchen were very clean, too. Location is incredible.

Situated in Pahoa and with Lava Tree State Park reachable within 200 metres, Pahoa Village Hostel features express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is set 4.5 km from Lava Tree State Monument, 25 km from Pana'Ewa Rainforest Zoo and 29 km from University Of Hawaii, Hilo. The Pacific Tsunami Museum is 31 km away and Lyman Museum & Mission House is 31 km from the hostel. I loved the price! Accomodation on big island is really expensive 🙈 however, even it was cheap this room was spacious, clean, and all we needed to rest. It's located next to some bar, so we heard music coming out from the street, but once we closed the windows it wasn't an issue at all. The neighbourhood is not the safast one, however, on the property have had 3 locks on the way getting into the room that made us feel secure. .
