Summary: Great location in town of Hilo. Warning to people like us who saw it advertised with Air conditioning. There is NO AC at any room in the hostel, including the private quad. If coming in the summer, it can be pretty hot. Also the place was very dusty and the fan they provided us was filthy. Bathrooms can use a deep clean as well. Staff was always nice and helpful though.
