Guest Reviews
- Victoria (7/5): - Location was amazing. Nice common room. Women’s powder room, towel bin was overflowing with towels whole time of my stay.
- MONIKA (8/5): - Super clean, safe, perfect location. You can hear a bit more noise. A bit cold for me, but still a great place to stay.
- Brett (10/5): -
- Eduardo (6/5): -
- Foster (10/5): - Nice and clean. Personal space. Clean air. Hours restrictions.
- Jordanne (8/5): Bonne alternative entre un hotel et une auberge. Un peu rigide... - Sensation d'intimité meme si le dortoir était rempli. Ambiance japonaise, moquette et chaussons pour se déplacer. L'emplacement aussi était bien, a quelques pas de la plage de Waikiki. Assez cher mais je recommande quand meme. Jolie vue depuis les parties communes. Très peu de matériel de cuisine (1 seul couteau qui coupe pour toute l'auberge!!!). La consigne pour laisser ses bagage est très chère : 10$ par bagage. Je trouve ça un peu abusé. Le saune aussi est une boite dans un coin d'un couloir derrière un rideau et payant. Je ne l'ai pas utilisé.

- Martin (10/5): Worth the money. Better than a hostel. - Quiet and respectful Only downside for my cabin was it didn’t have a lockable cabinet like the ones around me.
- Dane (8/5): -

- emma (7/5): - Excellent Location
Pods are modern and we'll equipt with plug sockets and TV
fresh towels daily keeps the place clean of people hanging damp towels around.
Probably one of the nicest hostels I have stayed in for feeling like you have your own space
Felt clean I stayed in the economy pods and while perfect for my 6 night stay the mattress could have been a bit more comfortable.
I thought when.i booked a female only room from the photo it looks as if there would just be 4 beds in the room. The rooms are much larger with a lot of pods, I think this element could have been clearer but didn't impact my stay.
- SZABOLCS (9/5): Exploring Honolulu in 7 days - Simple to accommodate , easy access , great location , great atmosphere , safe Well there is always what we can pick that we don't like when we travel ,in my case it was the common bathroom and this wasn't the property's fault it was the people who used it and never learned respect to clean they own s....t , sorry for the expression , but thats the truth , other wise everything was clean .

- Rebecca (9/5): -
- Joshua (3/5): Zont zoo it - Um I suppose the location if you like Waikiki vibes Smelled liked weed, the facilities weren’t that clean (like they’re not getting down and in the capsules to clean thats for sure lots of dust) the showers were disgusting adjacent. I stayed for one of three nights and they claimed I could only cancel through booking.com but when this service tried to contact them they never reply, showing a gross lack of integrity. I didn’t have a bad time because I’m a very fun person but it was pretty gross and disappointing.
- Alina (10/5): Clean, safe, comfy, perfect if you are traveling alone and/or with a budget - It was located downtown in a safe area. Everything was clean, you had your unique code for everything. The staff was always nice and accommodating. They also provide shampoo, conditioner and soap in the showers, plus hairdryers, flat irons and curlers AND towels. The only thing I did not like was that the ventilation system needed cleaning. There was dust and debris clogging the vents everywhere and it made my allergies act up. Also there was some ceiling tiles with water damage.
- Michelle (10/5): Excellent value - Clean, quiet, great location. Staff is wonderful! Needs more women’s pods.
- Santosa (10/5): -
- ROBERT (8/5): If you only need a place to crash, it is a good value for Oahu. - Located, location, location. Hard to sleep, others snoring.
- Orlando Angelo (10/5): - Comfortable in an excellent location. Clean. and super friendly staff. Well equipped.
- Julio César (5/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): Love it! - Clean, quiet, location, extremely nice people staying at the same hotel
Incredible helpful staff!!!!! Women’s rooms sell out too quickly
- MOMOKO (8/5): -
- Lara (8/5): Good for a short stay - Pods very well stocked, plenty of storage space and a nice view from the lounge Everything was an additional cost! Storing luggage, extra towels etc.
the bathrooms could have been a little cleaner.
- Yeohoon (7/5): -
- Melanie (10/5): Great affordable stay. - Location! Location! Location! The kitchen equipment needed some updates like the microwave, and toaster.
- Gary (10/5): Excellent place to stay in central Waikiki - This is honestly the best hostel I have ever stayed in. It's spotless clean, theres multiple staff cleaning the pods each day and renewing towels for you. There also deep cleaning the washrooms and restrooms daily too. Stocking up everything constantly. The only thing I didn't like was that the entrance closes from 00-06 I think it was. During them times you need to be let in upstairs. But not a major problem.
- Heidi (8/5): -
- João (7/5): - Localização. Pelo preço é uma boa opção para quem quer usar apenas para dormir. A limpeza nas WC e chuveiros poderia ser melhor, por vezes havia um cheiro estranho; o mesmo na sala das cabines. O colchão da cabine era bastante duro. No dia de check-in (porque não foi possível fazer early check-in) e check-out precisei de deixar a mala, que teve um custo de 10$ de cada vez, o que não faz muito sentido tendo em conta que era hóspede. No dia de check-out, se precisar de tomar banho no fim do dia, tem um custo de 25$. Para quem foi hóspede, é um preço exagerado. No final de contas só para deixar a mala umas horas e tomar banho antes do voo, teve um custo de 45$.
- Ailesh (9/5): Great location and privacy for a hostel! - Loved having a private pod. Really liked have a pin to access rooms rather than have to remember a key. Great to have clean towels every day and cotton buds/hair dryers in the bathroom. The kitchen could be bigger. I didn’t use it as it was too busy. Also had an issue with booking.com and the hostel regarding a date change where it wasn’t going through properly from booking.com but the hostel was super helpful both on the phone and in person. I would definitely stay again

- TAKAKO (10/5): -
- Josho (8/5): -
- Adam (8/5): Super cheap option for someone going to spending all day outside. - The cabins and all the other facilities were spotless, thanks to the housekeeping team who kept them in top shape. Everything was super easy and done online, from checking in and out to using entrance codes for the bathroom, lockers, and cabins. The location is fantastic—right on the main street, right next to the beach. Well, there was a little mix-up with my reservation. My cabin was already taken, so I ended up with another one that someone else had booked from the next day. We had a bit of a misunderstanding with the new guests in the middle of the night, but the reception staff was super helpful and sorted it all out quickly.
Just a heads-up, you’ll be sharing a room with others, so be ready for some noise and smells—the cabins aren’t exactly soundproof or smellproof.
- Raisa (10/5): It was a great surprise - I loved it a lot. Super comfortable and clean, modern style. Super quiet and safe. This was the most amazing experience I have ever had.
- Bing (8/5): 还行 - 你只要长住的话,他就不打扫卫生,很烦,而且窗帘拉起来后会很闷

- Sharon (10/5): Beach time and night life - 14th floor. What a great view. Comfortable surroundings and really nice and interesting people. The beach is in reach lol. Really cool bar on top of the building too. Excellent location. Safe area. A little pricey but it was nice.
- Filipa (3/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): Amazing value - Great location, very clean and quiet. Excellent bathroom/showers. More laundry facilities.

- Fernando (10/5): -
- Tsukasa (3/5): 期待外れ - ローケーションがインターナショナルマーケットプレイス近辺で分かりやすい チェックインはスムースでしたが、あまりに音をたてずらく、人が隣に居ると思うと厳しい。又、共同のシャワールーム内、外の洗面が汚く、清潔感や消毒が疑わしい。その割に決して安くなく残念。
- CHENGLIN (10/5): -
- Tracy (5/5): I want to experience a pod stay and I did. But it will be my last. - The location was perfect for Waikīkī fun! There weren’t lockers for the First Class pods, and my carry on luggage would not fit in the lockbox under the bed.
Even though signs are in the bath about keeping it clean, the guests did not follow instructions. There was hair in the showers ((handfuls!!!)) and the sinks.
- Paula (8/5): I would return. Perfect for solo traveler - Location & cost(high value) Laundry/Dryer was broken. No timeline for repair.
The refrigerators were stuffed
- Akiko (9/5): -
- Aidana (10/5): -
- BUNKEN (8/5): A high value, Japanese-style capsule hotel for backpackers or solo travelers - I stayed here for 5 nights, and overall it offers excellent value for money. The capsule hotel concept is very similar to those in Japan—simple, efficient, and clean. The capsules and bedding were cleaned daily, and fresh towels were provided, which I really appreciated. There is also luggage storage available, and each capsule comes with a small lockable compartment, which is very convenient and adds a sense of security. One issue I noticed was that there seemed to be quite a bit of dust inside the capsule, which made me sneeze frequently. I’m not sure what caused it, but it could be improved with better ventilation or cleaning inside the pods. Also, there is no way to adjust the temperature or airflow within the capsule, which might be uncomfortable for guests who are sensitive to temperature. In addition, the coin-operated laundry machines were not working during my stay, so I hope they can be repaired soon for future guests.
- Julia (6/5): -
- Michala (9/5): I definitely recommend this place if you’re visiting Waikiki on a budget. I felt very comfortable and relaxed during my - Perfectly located in the heart of Waikiki, within walking distance of the beach, shops, and bus stops. The pods were comfortable, and it was very quiet throughout my stay. I would definitely stay here again. There is no place to hang wet beachwear, which would be helpful. Also, there is only one fridge — adding another one would be a good improvement.
- Lex (10/5): -
- Hisatoshi (10/5): オススメします。 - 他の方の口コミ通り立地最高でした。
Wラインバス停から徒歩5分程度。
施設全体的に綺麗でした。
製氷機、お水、お湯、電子レンジがラウンジにありました。
シャワー水圧、温度問題なし。
日本語が話せるスタッフの方が多くいらして大変ありがたかったです。
ラウンジからの景色も良かったです。
この立地、設備、サービスにてこの価格はオススメですし、行く機会がありましたらまた利用したいです。
- Brigit (10/5): - Clean, easy to check in and out at any time, great little cabin for a night in Honolulu. The location meant I could make the most of my short stay, with the beach, shopping and buses right outside Nothing
- IZUMI (6/5): シャワーが水でした - 立地と施設内のベッドは綺麗です。 シャワーが水でした。シャワー室は6〜8部屋程度あり、私ともう1人しか使用していなかったにも関わらず水しか出ませんでした。
また水回りは施設が古くあまり綺麗ではありません。
- Kanyapatch (8/5): - The location is in the middle of everything. You can go to the beach or you can go to the mall within 5 minutes. Also the staffs services were exceptional. However, there is a lot of dust appeared everywhere in the hotel which is not good for the people with allergies.

- Fernando (10/5): -
- Bing (9/5): - 房间清洁度安全度都是不错的,然后有空打扫卫生满计时,只不过一旦长住以后,他就基本不管你了
- Filip (3/5): - Nepochopiteľne kto v cabins da televízory, príšerne. Nepochopiteľne
- Sandy (3/5): Glad I tried it. Absolutely would not do it again, not when $60 would’ve given me my own room and bathroom - Location Rules weren’t enforced

- CG (7/5): - 挺干净的 有点难找
- Elleanor (3/5): Not good. - I liked the location and the concept, but the reality fell short in hospitality, comfort, and cleanliness. The entire floor smelled weird. The kitchen was relatively clean but you couldn’t put anything in the fridge because it was packed full and it smelled. The bed was so uncomfortable I’m half convinced it was just a box spring. The bathrooms could have been cleaned more and on my last morning of my stay, it legit looked like someone had a miscarriage in one of the toilets and all over one of the sinks. There was also a sketchy guy that kept appearing wherever I went who was also staying at First Cabin, and to top it all off, the police were there multiple times assisting with removing guests from the property.
- Iryna (9/5): Interesting experience - Location, view from the kitchen Nothing,

- Desirée (8/5): - Great facilities, but if only they would answer messages and any attempt of contact. It was very important for me to connect them before my arrival, but I got no reply at all. And the fact that you can't stay in the lobby area of the hostel after check out is really bad.
- RODRIGO ALEJANDRO (9/5): Satisfactoria. - Ubicación y limpieza. Que cobren la custodia de la maleta.
- Musashi (8/5): Sooo happy and will for sure visit again during next visit to honolulu. Thank You! - very delicious coffee. nice fridge to store food. toaster and microwave big plusses! i can't think of what i did not like. i liked everything.
- Rachel (10/5): -
- Jeffrey (8/5): Great location, clean and new, but will nickle and dime you - Felt new and clean, location was great The fee to store luggage is obsurd, even for a short time they charge $10 per bag. Early check in by one hour not allowed with out a fee. I can see charging a fee for a very early check in but within an hour to make you sit and wait, come back or pay to store your luggage felt very stingy. 10 am checkout time was early, stick with industry standard of 11am
- Michael (10/5): Highly recommend - Staff N/A
- tracey (10/5): - It was an amazing location, very clean and new hotel. The only thing that was not great was the matress. But I did sleep so that is what I needed.
- Monica (10/5): Perfect for a trip where you want to save some money. You share, but you have your own pod, so it feels private. - Very central, clean, comfortable.
- Finardi (9/5): Melhor opção para poucos dias em Oahu. - Hotel cápsula muito bem localizado no centro de Waikiki, muito bem estruturado, limpo e confortável. Saunas individuais eram pagas a parte.
- Fernando (10/5): -
- Yang (8/5): -
- Agáta (10/5): -
- David (10/5): - The pod and the great silence I could not connect to the TV
- Kevin (8/5): - I’ve stayed in several First Cabin locations in Japan, and this Hawaii one is about a notch or two below those ones but very good quality for Western standards.
The location is perfect for staying in the center of Waikiki, and since you’re on the 14th floor, you don’t hear noise from the outside.
Capsules were nice and exactly like the standard ones at the Japan locations. Each one comes with a smart TV where you can watch Netflix and YouTube, but you need your own headphones.
All of the staff I encountered were nice. The lounge area was pretty nice too, with free water station which helped save money on buying water at the store.
There were 5 sinks, 5 shower stalls, and 5 toilets in the men’s bathroom, and I never had an issue with being able to use them during my week-long stay (though I did wake up around 6-7 AM).
There was enough storage space to keep luggage laying around, and the lockers were big enough to keep my backpack and several other smaller bags in it. The bathroom area was fine but could be improved. Most of the soap dispensers for the sinks stopped working and there was only one that worked by the end of my stay.
Laundry machine did not work at all, but the unit they have wouldn’t be effective for drying anyways (used them in Japan). Coin laundry is about 15-20 minute walk away.
Staff begins vacuuming and cleaning the rooms around 10 AM, which may be annoying for those who sleep in late.
Sometimes the WiFi wasn’t too good while in the capsule, but my room was on the far end of the hotel.
