Wonderful few weeks in Hawaii! The place was great! Aloha!
The condo is conveniently located. Beach is a long block away and there are shops nearby. Parking included is a big perk since there's limited parking in Waikiki. There are beach towels, chairs and umbrellas which was great. The view on the post is not the main view. You see the ocean view from the narrow galley kitchen window and not the main balcony where the view is the other condos across the street. The window was dirty in the kitchen so it's definitely not as nice as the posted picture. You can hear the main road noise and sirens even from th 14th floor.The washer/dryer room is located next door which is convenient but you can hear the machines running. They do shut them down from 11pm-8am. Overall, this condo was a nice place to stay with all the amenities needed. Just be aware it's not ocean front but it's roomy and comfortable.
The description says it sleeps 6. In truth it sleeps 2 adults comfortably (one in each of the beds) or 1 adult and 2 small kids. The beds are fine for one person. 2 people and you sink to the middle. The pull out couch is all springs. Daughter put a sheet over the couch cushions and slept on the couch folded up.
The kitchen is small but has everything you need.
Otherwise clean with quick 3 minute walk to the beach.
Nice to have the free parking. Parking in waikiki is expensive and hard to find otherwise
Communication was excellent and we were taken care of by manager due to the place not being cleaned upon arrival. They cleaned it the next day, which we appreciated. Air conditioner kept us nice and cool. Condo is in a perfect location and just a block from the beach. We will definitely book again!
it was advertised as a newly remodeled unit. there was dust you could write your name on the coffee table, dust bunnies in the corner on the floor. cracked tile and mold in the tub. towel rack fell when we hung a towel. 1 bottle of shampoo and 3 empty bottles of conditioner. had an open bag of coffee which we did not use. ceiling fan didn't work but got that fixed. there was a phone but not connected. talked to the people on the 5th floor but they told us that it was a private owner and to contact them. not planning on using vrbo again. took pictures but don't see where to attatch.
The place was mostly as expected. The information provided to us in the welcome email was mostly wrong and didn't even contain the correct door code, so we had to call the property manager to even get I to the room. The property manager was not located on site like the provided information said. There also was no beach stuff or sand toys provided like the welcome information said. We were not initially provided enough bedding for all three beds. This was awkward since the property management office was closed by the time we figured this out. They close at like 4:30 pm so if you can't check in until 4 you have very limited time to figure out what you are missing.
The property was pretty clean and the views were great. We really enjoyed the pool and the deck and the nearby beach. It was good to be able to cook and they did have a toaster, microwave and a rice pot. It could use more utensils as we pretty much had to wash a lot.The apartment could use some maintenance the kitchen sink leaks and the bathroom door does shut. The pull out bed was really really uncomfortable and I doubt adults would really be able to sleep there.
The parking garage did have some issues with very narrow spots and difficultly parking. They also said in the welcome information that a SUV would not fit in the parking garage so we rented a sedan. There were lots of SUVs in the parking garage but we did see some large jeeps either scrape the top or have to back out. However a normal SUV would be fine.
This place was large and spacious for our family of four. It was right beside the laundry room, which we use multiple times during our two weeks stay. It had everything we needed and we loved the gallery kitchen versus having a kitchen in the open space. We would be able to be in the kitchen and make some noise while the kids are in the room sleeping. The only thing that I think this place needs is an update on their furniture. The mattresses were not too comfortable, but because we were so tired from the day, everyone fell asleep right away. We would definitely stay here again the next time we are back in Hawaii.
Granddaughters loved the sand toys left to play at the beach. Aquarium, zoo and restaurants close. Bus transportation was excellent. Towels were plentiful, but a dry rack would have been helpful as laundry now 2:50 a load. Supplies limlted. Be prepared to wait a day if call for more. A few teaspoons, a larger measuring cup and 1 smaller pot would be helpful. Furniture was tired, but manageable for 1 week. Had a very pleasant stay. Thank you.
Hi' Mr.Dena Dooley
"First of all, it was a relatively low floor this time."Because the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate on the stairs.
"Overall, the room was spacious, and I could spend a comfortable time with everyone in my family."There was a jacuzzi in the hotel pool, so adults could heal their tiredness, and there was a playground equipment right next to it, so children aged 3 and 5 could enjoy it together."
Furthermore, the location of the hotel was convenient as it was close to shopping and beach.
If I can visit Hawaii again, I would love to stay at the Banyan Hotel."I am grateful to Mr. Dooley, the owner of this room, for having a comfortable time this time.
"Thank you very much.

This condo is one block from beach

Downtown shopping walking less than a mile
Convenience everywhere

Loved this one - end unit, view of ocean from all windows
The location is excellent one block from Wakiki beach, restaurants, starbucks etc. Parking was included that was a great savings. The apartment and furniture are old. Not a good night sleep one bed you sink in the middle not made for two and the A/C was loud. I called the company to ask for beach chairs that was in the description as being available they provided the chairs within a few hours.

It was a great place to stay at, it was very convenient since we were so close to the beaches, restaurants and stores. We had a great view of diamond head crater, as well as the beach, we were able to see beautiful sunsets as well as sunrises, and view the fire works from our room.

The condo was perfect for our family, Spacious ,clean and well-maintained. The parking permit was a plus for us.
Walking distance to the beach.
We'll definitely stay here again.
The unit is clean and spacious, laundry room right beside with beach chairs in the locker room is very handy. AC works great. Complimentary parking is a good bonus. Good Mountain View from the balcony.
We would definitely stay here again.
Couple small recommendations, extra blanket for the sofa bed would be nice. Beds would use an upgrade.
Thank you!

Overall enjoyed, the location is great.
Overall enjoyed, the location is great.
Spacious, clean room. We enjoyed our stay.
We travel to Oahu frequently and have stayed at the Waikiki Banyon many times in different condo units. We love this location because parking is included and our grandkids love the pool. This unit was not the best. While fairly clean, it is cramped and ill-equipped. The kitchen is not well-stocked and I had a hard time preparing meals. The unit is old and the caulking is failing, walls are dirty, etc. It is a corner unit with lots of street noise.

Property was clean. Well described but the material on the chairs on the lanai were thin and worn. We were afraid to sit on them.
One did rip while we were there. I told Property manager about the chair. Also they did not have anywhere secure to hold our luggage after we checked out. We purposely got a later flight on our last day so we could spend more time on the beach and we couldn't because we had our luggage.
This condo is very well located right by Waikiki beach…. But is has a lot of issues. The apartment was filthy: the floor had not been swiped or cleaned for days, there were dirty plates in the cabinets, dried rice in the microwave and on the kitchen counter, and even hairs in the bed! The AC unit is incredibly loud. One of the beds sinks about 5 inches in the middle, and the futon is super uncomfortable. The place is managed by Kokoresorts, which are NOT in the building anymore. We tried to contact them twice (for extra towels and toilet paper) and only got 50% success rate! The owner could not help us with this issue. You also have to pay for the few electric BBQs available and they shut them down at 8pm whether you are done or not. Oh, and the boogie boards are all broken and the tennis court is not usable. Bottom line: great location, but needs some love and better management.
For our family of 5…..Perfect location! Location is within walking distance to everything! Really enjoyed our stay! Would stay again!

This condo was amazing! It had everything that we needed and then some. We went with 14 people in our group. Spread through 4 different condos. Everyone else was jealous of how nice ours was! I will always try to rent from Scarlett and Dena Dooley. They took amazing care of us!
