There was also free coffee and tea for the guests to prepare. This hostel had a very pleasant atmosphere and the common area was lovely. I very much enjoyed my time there.

Situated in Pahoa and with Lava Tree State Monument reachable within 5.5 km, Pahoa Village Hostel features express check-in and check-out, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. The property is set 25 km from Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo, 29 km from University of Hawaii, Hilo and 31 km from The Pacific Tsunami Museum. Lyman Museum & Mission House is 31 km away and Rainbow Falls is 34 km from the hostel. I loved the price! Accomodation on big island is really expensive 🙈 however, even it was cheap this room was spacious, clean, and all we needed to rest. It's located next to some bar, so we heard music coming out from the street, but once we closed the windows it wasn't an issue at all. The neighbourhood is not the safast one, however, on the property have had 3 locks on the way getting into the room that made us feel secure. .
