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.
