You don't absolutely need a car for Howzit Maui, but it's really helpful. The hostel arranges daily tours and activities, but if you don't make it onto the sign up sheet, then you need to make your own arrangements. There are plenty of people who have car rentals, so making alternate plans isn't a big deal. There are six shared bathrooms (with showers) and a seventh just for women. There are two more washrooms on the main floor. They get pretty busy in the morning and at night. Pancakes and coffee are served every morning! It's a great way to start your day, but get some fruit when you can! lol

This is your typical hostel. The staff really went out of their way trying to help me get situated late at night with parking and my room set up. The area is really bad (zombies and car break ins) - so go early if you want a spot on the lot. Otherwise you will have to park on the street and walk a little ways.

The location, the price and the staff are all very good. Also, the bathrooms are very clean. The A/C in the room for 4 people is too loud, cannot sleep. I wish the room can be bigger, but the price is good.

This property is one of very few on the island that is affordable. It is geared towards the young, extroverted, and those interested in traveling for the sake of meeting fellow travelers. Those who are introverted, dislike competing for a restroom, dislike beach sand everywhere, and crave peace and quiet are better served staying elsewhere.

Cool Hostel
So there is a private parking lot, but also plenty of free on-street parking within 1 block - just move your car by 10am. This is a hostel, so expect youthful international travelers. There is a gas station nearby that sells beer and snacks. I had a private room, which is more pricey, but for a guy my age staying in a hostel, it’s what I needed. Front staff was really friendly and helpful. I needed something printed out and was able to email them the paperwork.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The biggest plus is that the staff was OUTSTANDING. I interacted with 2 different people during my stay, and one was great and the other was fantastic (McKenna). The lock system used is very secure, so I felt safe during my stay. The shared bathroom situation required a bit of patience occasionally, but was generally OK. Two nearby roosters started crowing before dawn, so the location wasn't as quiet as I had hoped, but I didn't encounter any problems with people noise. The big problem with this location was parking. There is no legal parking near the hostel location and not much legal overnight parking even several blocks away. I never figured out where the paid lot was, and neither of the staff people mentioned it.

Staff were great. Pricey for a hostel. Cost $200 for one night . Not enough bathrooms for volume of guest. At the end of the evening I had to wait about 20 minutes to use the toilet. Which was a drag since all I wanted to do was sleep. . Overall experience positive. The staff go out of the way to make it nice.

The hostel has been renovated recently and has more space but has lost its character I perceived it as rather commercial and kind of steril I was disappointed when I arrived since nobody had paid attention to at least 4 texts of mine in which I shared that I am handicapped and could not climb stairs My room was all the way up the stairs…

Howzit Hostel was immaculately clean and the staff were extraordinarily helpful and friendly. While most guests are young people we two senior citizens felt entirely welcomed and comfortable. They have a very nice, open lobby area with tables, comfortable seating and pool table. And it is just a couple of blocks from the wonderful Maui Coffee Attic which has live music most days. Shared bathrooms can get a little busy at peak hours, but we rarely had to wait and they were extremely bright and clean. We would definitely stay again.
