Summary: Super fun hostel in the heart of Hilo. They offer a daily activity so don't book any excursions until you see what they have to offer. The staff was great! Shoutout to Colette, Rose, and the tour guide who took us up to Mauna Kea for the sunset (sorry "J" I am AWFUL with names but thank you for a great tour!). The free chocolate chip pancakes and coffee in the morning are a great way to start the day. Howzit was an incredibly reasonable rate for a comfortable place to stay and a clean, comfortable bed to sleep in. Can't wait to come back and visit again soon.
