The unit was clean and neat and well appointed. The beach was accessible via a small walk on the sidewalk to a park east of the unit that accessed the beach. Very nice, long beach walks in the morning.
Located in Wailuku, 2.9 miles from Iao Valley State Park, Howzit Hostels provides accommodations with a garden, private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The social aspect in a terrific commons area was fantastic. Stellar daily activities provided by a caring staff. All facilities were clean and maintained. Pancakes and coffee in the morning. Howzit far exceeded my expectations.

Maui has the best beaches and the ones off Wailuku are not too busy and lovely. It’s a full service town where the planes fly in so there are many shopping options including Costco. Vacation rentals are relatively expensive here.

If you don’t have a rental car you can plan on lots of walking. The bus system is great, but you need to make sure you have the time to do that. There isn’t a whole lot to see where we stayed. It is in an older part of Wailuku. Definitely not a tourist town, as such.

Wailuku is the County Seat and is several miles from the beach. So, if going to the beach, or to the mountains, you will need a car. However, it is a relatively small island, so if the beach resort life is not for you, this is a good place to stay.

I highly recommend having a rental car or you will be miserable without easy access to any waterfronts, however, this depends on where you are staying at so this might not be a problem but just a heads up if you book a place in town, GET A RENTAL CAR!!!

Central location - 20 min from airport, 6 min from groceries, walking distance to dining and banks and shopping. Lovely hike to Iao State Park available a short drive away. Easy access to highways to beaches. Fun to wake up to roosters crowing :)

We were only there for two days, then off to another part of Maui. The town itself did not have a lot going on, not much to see or do. The Iao State Park; however, was worth a quick visit. Very picturesque with minimal walking. Parking is limited, and $5.
I was pleasantly surprised that the toilets were so clean for a hostel, infact better than some hotels! The bed and sheets were clean and comfy. This place has such nice vibes and was a great place to stay. Everyone was friendly and we felt very safe staying here. My only grouse was the stairs as we had huge cargo bags but the owner was very nice to help us carry up and down the stairs! I also loved the location where food and amenities are easily accessible. The pancakes in the morning were yummy, overall we had a great stay!
This was our favorite place we've ever stayed in. The interior design is very modern and well done. Everything you could think of needing is provided and then some. The view is incredible and it was always nice to watch the sunrise on the balcony. Rick was a fantastic host and he made sure we had everything we needed and gave many good recommendations. The location in the center of Maui was very convenient. It felt just like being at home while in paradise and it would be my first choice for the next time we go to Maui.
To start with the host. Katie was kind and thoughtful.easy to communicate even made restaurant reservation.The property is luxurious right on the water everything you can expect from a 5 star place. The decoration and the welcome treat is special with all the exotic flowers. The unit is modern with all the comfort to the last details like bathrobe etc,..
We stayed before in most of the Wailea luxury hotels but will come back to this place first in the future. Made our stay with our friends unforgettable.
It was a blast for the money you pay! The location is perfect, we could easily choose where to drive the next day and went different directions every day. You can borrow the chairs and snorkeling from the common area. I loved that you can refill your water bottle with filtered water near the pool. Our room (and I assume all the other ones) had a cooler and beach towels that we could take with us. The host is very polite and she can recommend where to get very tasty macaroons.
It was perfect location central to everything. It was very easy to find, close to mountain views and ocean. It was clean and more than enough for what we wanted. Staff was very kind and helpful. This is not a resort so if you want that, then go somewhere else. They do have some items for the beach you can borrow. Also love that there are no resort and parking fees. There were good restraurants near by also. we would stay again.
Maureen really has her hosting down to a fine art - had lots of tips and was very helpful getting settled in. The room had interesting tropical decor, which set it apart from the cookie cutter style of chain hotels. There were lots of little touches to make guests more comfortable: beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, a beach bag, a cooler, and even an umbrella to take along on day trips.
My wife and I stayed stayed at the The Old Wailuku in September 2022 during our first time in Maui and we had a great time. Our room was cozy, the house is well located, the breakfast was really good, and the staff was helpful and nice. We met the owners and they are such a nice couple, they gave us tips of restaurants, roads, and beaches. We would definitely stay here again.
Wonderful location, in one of the most beautiful parts of Maui. So much nicer than staying in a resort hotel. So peaceful - just the sound of the river and birds - with fabulous views, a comfortable room and delicious breakfasts left on our own patio/fridge for the next day. One of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed.
I really liked the people and the place. It has been wonderful. Rooms are good there is a backyard with tables and a lot of free activities to do. I am so happy to were on this hotel. Also plenty of free parking around and it is in the middle of the island, near everywhere.
It’s Maui, so what’s not to like. You don’t really need a pool if you have an ocean, and you don’t really need AC if the trade winds are blowing. The unit is near a park with a long, mostly pretty quiet beach with decent snorkeling.
This is a beautiful bed and breakfast located cozily in the Iao Valley. It was clean and we had a warm welcome with excellent hospitality and delicious food. The accommodations were comfortable and complete.
We will stay again!
My friends and I had a fantastic stay, the guys of the staff are very kind, the common area are also beautiful, more than a hostel it felt like being in a hotel! Not to mention the atmosphere, it felt like being in the family!
Quiet and clean. Our unit newly renovated, comfortable mattress conveniently located for us as we have a Daughter living in Kahului. Centrally located. Right next to fabulous Aquarium you can walk to. Private beach
Everything was great: amazing Hawaiian house, very friendly owners and staff, very nice and comfortable rooms and the best breakfast we ever had. We will definitely come back! Thanks for making our stay so awesome!
100% recommended! great location, awesome swimming pool and noce owners ready to help and answer any of your question. I would definitely choose WailukuGuesthouse again!
