The Plumeria in Honolulu: The Hostel Alternative on Oahu
The Plumeria in Honolulu: The Hostel Alternative on Oahu
The Plumeria Hale has a 26 room Residence House which provides a few 2-bed “double bedrooms” (NO bunk beds in dorms!) and also private single rooms in shared suites. You will find us to be both more affordable and less crowded than the hostel scene in the tourist areas, as we are not an in-and-out facility. We primarily serve weekly or monthly guests, but if your needs differ, please email us to see what we may have available.
Each apartment space shares a bathroom and kitchen with no more than 5 unrelated people.
The Plumeria Hale is not designed as a hotel or hostel, but is a small, simple apartment complex built in the 1950’s. We offer free wi-fi, laundry, BBQ area, some female-only 3-bedroom suites for those who prefer, no curfew, and on-site smoking must be done outside.
The Plumeria Hale is an excellent place from which to explore Honolulu and Oahu. We especially encourage those who are considering a move to Honolulu, as an affordable first stop while job hunting and apartment hunting. There will be a security deposit of $250 (for 4 weeks or less), or $500 (for longer than a 4 week stay).
