Hostel Alternative

Private, lockable, single and double bedrooms in shared apartments (and a few studios), rentable short-term (no lease), typically by the week, beginning at $43.00 per night plus taxes. The shared units are rented Youth Hostel style, so be prepared to be both sociable and considerate of your housemates. We host a Saturday evening barbecue for guests (weather permitting) to introduce guests to each other and for some of our longer-term residents. An older property (gated community) with mature landscaping, outdoor seating, and barbecue area, a small oasis in the "big city". About a mile and a half from Waikiki, close to Walmart and the Ala Moana Shopping Center and Beach Park.

Products Carried: Budget Hotel,private rooms, full kitchens

Atmosphere: My name is Richard Stancliff. I have served as host and manager at The Plumeria since April, 2011. I previously vacationed in Hawaii and loved it so much I now spend a good part of the year in Honolulu. At age 68, I'm semi-retired and find that this lifestyle fits very well. Some work in the mornings and early afternoons, then the beach and perhaps Waikiki. Does it get any better than this?

Amenities: The Plumeria is a hostel alternative, conveniently located between Waikiki and Downtown, in walking distance from Ala Moana beach.
