Lahaina’s Last Resort

I stayed at this hostel for a weekend and really enjoyed my stay.
Just used it for a room and ventured on for a Wedding, hikes, and surfing.
Roomed in a public co-​ed 4 bunk bed room. Small place resembles the typical college dorm. Bed and frame just as comfortable as college dorm. Down the hall from rooms is bathroom Bathroom was well kept with out of date décor. The common bathroom had only two showers and two toilets. I never had to wait :)
The common area was outside under a tent. Housed frig, the usual kitchen wares and stoves. Parking can be difficult on their lot, so call ahead or go in rather early.
I pack rather light but was able to store clothes, suit, laptop, and other items well within my bed space (all in one travel duffel bag) Liquor store, bars, beach and touristy part down the street. Rent a jeep, travel out (see Hana), make friends; this place is certainly awesome for that. Mahalo for making my stay memorable
P. S. this is a hostel and you are in Hawaii wild life including bugs may be around

I stayed at that hostel for a week and really enjoyed my stay. Rooms were a little too small but very clean and so was the bathroom. The common bathroom had only two showers and two toilets. Surprisingly I never had to wait :)
The common area was outside and very chilled. People at that hostel were also very nice. Lahaina is also a nice place to stay.

Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. This place is truly filthy. Loud people even at midnight, smoking ALL NIGHT LONG, and random loud noises, such as banging, rolling, cursing, and what I can only hope is construction on the house at midnight and not something sinister. Bathroom was pretty dirty. I write this off as an expensive lesson. Might be okay if you’re truly desperate for a place and don’t mind potentially getting hepatitis and scabies Otherwise, pay the extra couple bucks and find something else.

Okay here’s what’s up. Lahaina’s last resort is awesome and would definitely stay here again. Mainly because I found the workers and people I met were extremely wonderful.
First things first, this is a hostel. So for all you people who are checking in your entire family, or you think you’re going to have a perfect night sleep on an amazing bed and won’t hear any noise. Give your head a shake. Don’t roll up to the cheapest place in town and not expect there to be parties some nights and complain about every single thing. This is not a 5 star all inclusive resort. Bring earplugs if you can’t handle it.
The last resort is perfect for meeting fellow travellers and having a place to crash for a few nights. Mathias did awesome day trips for tips if you’re looking to check out some cool spots on the island. But they need 5 people to commit otherwise it will just be a close snorkelling tour which is also cool.
The biggest downside was the manager Martin. He is full of himself and doesn’t treat people or his staff fairly. He literally stopped talking to me multiple times in the middle of a conversation to go talk to girls. He’s very unprofessional and needs to upkeep the hostel much better.

A really horrible excuse for lodging. I booked the private room online for 5 nights to stay while I work in Lahaina. FILTHY bed-​bug infested rooms with rat droppings all on the floor behind the beds, The refrigerator didnt work in the room, there were loud people milling about at all hours of the day or night, people were smoking throughout the place and the smell would come right into the room, the bathroom situation was terrible. Because I booked online, no refunds. No nothing. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I was fortunate enough to stay at Lahaina’s Last Resort recently and loved the outdoor kitchen! The main guys are Eastern European so they come off a bit rude but just give it back to them and they are fine. The lovely, Alexandra Chapman works at this hostel and will make your experience wonderful… seek her out! The rooms are dorm rooms so get over your modesty and such. If you want a «hotel» room then the «hostel» is not for you! The setting is perfect for going to Snorkel Bob’s for gear rentals and Food Land is a few blocks away. The one beach, Baby Beach is just a short walk from the hostel and has some snorkeling and a lovely beach.
To Sherry: You are an amazing business owner and you are the reason for the family feeling of all the hostels you own.

Staff was very friendly. Guests were a mix of ages and interests. Rooms were clean, common bathroom pretty clean.
If you need a place to stay for a night or two it will do

«Lahaina’s Last Resort» is a fully appropriate name. In fact, sleeping on the street would be a better alternative.
Unfriendly staff with poor accommodations. Additionally, the location is at the intersection of two busy streets with lots or road noise. In truth, there are not many alternatives in Lahaina, and the owners know this. As a result, they treat their guest with discontent and provide poor sleeping accommodations.
I recommend staying clear of this place at all possible cost. There are better alternatives elsewhere on the island (e.g. Northshore Hostel and Rainbow Surf Hostel).

Summary: From the front desk check in, «If you need to see the room, you will not want it.»
Unfortunately this lodging should not be in business. I called and was told over the phone that they had a dorm and private rooms available, quoted the prices, which are about the going rates. Great! We drive over; they are easy to find, and there are two men sitting at the front desk. Looks like all is going well, but the man flat-​out says that there are no rooms available even though I clearly saw some available rooms walking up the front office. He also confirms that he was the same man I had spoken with on the phone — rude!
So we drive across town to another place which I had spoken with on the phone that said there were beds/​rooms available and gave price quotes. The woman at this location says there is nothing available until I tell her we spoke on the phone earlier. Then she changes and says there is nothing available at her property but there may be at her other property across town. Already, I am getting the feeling these two are connected. She, at least acts polite, and has me wait 15 minutes while she calls over. But it turns out she was never calling her other property because I finally interrupt her and she says hold on, she will call them. (These businesses were found on google maps.)
So she now tells me to go to the other property — they do not have a dorm room only a private. Fine, and guess what — the «other property» is the Lahaina’s Last Resort we were at earlier.
So we drive back over, walk up the front desk and the man now says that there is a private available.
But, he will not show us the room!!!
He says, «If you need to see the room, you will not want it.»
Yeah, for $ 92, you will not show us the room! This guy was clearly a name I will not name. Avoid this business! There are a few good hostels and campsites on Maui, just none to be found in Lahaina.
