This room and property fit the bill. Daily rate was discounted due to exterior painting and pool renovations. Less than 3 blocks to beach. Balcony had unobstructed views of ocean. Will stay here again

The view and room size was great. But as I mentioned in an email earlier this condo did was not up to the quality of rentals we have stayed in before from Aska. Just to review our concernsLimited closet space and drawer space for a long term rentalDrapes as you mentioned still on backorderAdditionallycan opener that hardly workedmissing remote control for AC unit ( a replacement would not cost more than $25.00)kitchen sink faucet that had way too much pressure probably from a flow restrictor. I hope this these concerns help you make this unit a more attractive rental in the future.

最高のロケーションで便利な立地、ありがとうございました。ダイヤモンドヘッドが見れないのは残念ですが、ワイキキ海岸の眺望はよかったです。

PROS:+ Incredible view to the ocean, Diamond Head and Waikiki.+ Very central location for a quick dive into the Pacific Ocean+ Restaurants, takeaways in the immediate surrounding area+ Quick access to the apartment via the hotel lobby and three elevators+ Very convenient: waste disposal via chute in the hallway directly in front of apartment+ Inexpensive washing machines and dryers available in the building+ Very good kitchen equipment with good appliances, even a rice cooker+ Very good and comfortable beds in the sleeping room.+ Great corner balcony with lounger, chairs and table+ Nice bathroom, toilet with bidet function.+ Everything was very clean+ Very fast and very friendly contact with property management Aska Gateway Estates. Thanks alot!!!CONS:- Due to the central location it is often very noisy at night (shouting people, engine noises, garbage collection...)- Hotel a bit outdated, but renovation in progress. Jacuzzi and pool on the roof could urgently use a makeover.- For four adults (we arrived as a family with two adult children), the apartment is maxed out space-wise.- There are few options for storing clothes. Closets are almost non-existent.- The pull out sofa in the living room is not suitable for adults. Firstly, the lying surface is only 1.70 m long, secondly, the mattress is so worn that the springs poke through everywhere.- Smaller technical deficiencies: sluggish windows / shower drain very slow. - Only two key cards for four people a bit impractical.Conclusion: for a couple or a young family with a child who want "high life" in a central location, this is the perfect apartment.Translated with (free version)
Great location, close to a lot of activities. Staff at building very nice and helpful.
Great location and view! (THAT’S IT)
Prepare to be uncomfortable:
The window unit AC isn’t large enough for the condo. To keep the condo at a decent temperature all curtains and drapes must remain closed.
Only (3) sets of bath towels were allocated to our party of three. I asked manager for extra towels and offered to pay for them. The response was “Unfortunately not, one per guest and you can use the coin laundry room to wash our towels.”
We didn’t plan on doing laundry a few times in a 9 night stay. After leaving the beach, hiking, and other excursions you want to come into an air conditioned condo and take a shower with clean towels.
This property had a great view. It was clean and close to everything! Great location. It was tiny, the toilet and sink leaked and the AC did not work very well. It is pretty noisy at night as well.

Everyone rates differently, so please read. This is hands down a beautiful property with unbelievable views. We enjoyed the sunrises over Diamond Head with coffee on the large balcony and the sunsets over the ocean from the living room. We utilized the rooftop pool and grills on occasion too. The kitchen was adequately equipped and small appliances were new. The elevators can be very busy at peak times, but that is to be expected. So this property is definitely 5 star. The downside is that there were very few amenities that make living there easier. There were no coffee filters and no salt, pepper or single spice in the place. So to do any cooking, you need to go shopping and buy supplies before anything. We were asked to empty garbage daily so make sure to buy garbage bags too since there wasn’t any extra supplied. We have stayed in many rental homes throughout the country and almost all have had rudimentary supplies for your stay. Some owners provide welcome gifts to their guests. Don’t expect that here, but do expect fantastic views and access to Waikiki and Honolulu.

The room is beautiful and the view made me gasp! The amenities were as described. The location was amazing. I do recommend this room. Also the folks at Aska were lovely, but please note that I think this is a very small organization so you might not get fast service - but when they are available, it is stellar. The only room downside was the mattresses were very hard and uncomfortable. Also this is not Aska's fault, but its on the 23rd floor and during a pandemic where you don't want to be in an elevator with strangers, it was challenging sometimes. Most folks did not have the courtesy to wait their turn and would ignore the Pacific Monarch's posted request to limit elevators to 2 people (although it also wasn't posted very well.) Being on the 23rd floor, the option to just take the stairs is a little limited. But being on the 23rd floor also means breathtaking views. Sitting on the lanai drinking tea in the morning and just taking it in. We had a great experience here!

We had a very pleasant stay in the apartment. It was very clean and in good condition. The balcony was big by Waikiki standards and we enjoyed having all our meals outside. The management staff were very responsive to all our enquiries.
