The location was excellent - in walking distance to everything. We didn’t need a car. We used ride share for anything like transportation to the airport. Just two blocks to one of the most famous beaches in the world, where you can share the ocean and views with people who are paying 1,000 a night for the fancy hotels!The Bamboo is a great place to stay if you are not picky. My family and I just wanted a comfortable place to lay our heads, take a shower after the beach, and be able to keep things in the small kitchen they provide. We were happy. Also, the staff at the desk is very friendly. We felt very safe here. There is a lot of street noise, but we had no problem with that. Bring noise canceling headphones if you need to!
We were very unhappy with the mold, ripped and stained furniture, lack of kitchen supplies, odds & ends of towels, and lack of lighting. Dishes were dirty, there was no dish soap, there was a 1/4 sponge (clearly a sponge cut into 4 smaller pieces) and no mat for the dish drying rack. Shower was rusty as was the shower head.
Terrible mold or pet odorTwo towels for 4 day stayToilet doesn’t flush properly
The hotel itself was very conveniently located only two blocks from Waikiki Beach near the big Banyan tree.The hotel pool was nice as well. We did not use it because the water was a bit chilly..The furnishings in the room are original I believe from when the building was built in the mid 80s or 90s hard to tell, but the couch was stained the orange chair back in the pictures.The rug needs to be thrown in the trash. It’s awful very few dishes matched.The walls and flooring were in very good condition.The beach umbrella only had the top half the part that you stick into the sand was missing. There were three beach chairs for guest use. One of them was so bent up I did not try it out.We did use the other two chairs on the beach.On two occasions, the back of the chair suddenly gave out without any shifting or movement or anything on my part, and I fell back precariously hitting the small of my back on the back of the chair, resulting in a large bruise across my lumbar spine.Overall, for the price, I think we could’ve done much better.Parking was almost impossible. No parking was available within the building.I would suggest that if you do choose to stay in that area of Waikiki that you take a taxi or Uber to the area and not rent a car for a week or more.Overall, I would not rent that particular property again, I also would not recommend it.

Our second stay at this location. It’s a great location, just a block from the beach and has a lovely pool oasis. The furniture is definitely worn. But it was still comfortable. Just wish there had been chairs on the balcony with this unit. Would book there again if Waikīkī is my destination.

Location amazing. Basically two minute walk to beach and very vibrant neighborhood with great shopping and restaurants. Place was clean and comfortable. Although there is kitchenette area, no dish towel and so challenging to actually use that amenity.
Great if you’re looking for a one bedroom apartment experience, which is what we wanted.
The location was good. It was close to a bus stop and not far from the beach.
The amenities were skimpy. 2 towels for the week for 2 people. No fitted bottom sheet on the bed thus the bed was messy to sleep in. It was adequate but probably would not choose it again.
Great stay. Hotel was quiet. Loved the room. It was great.
The place was kind of janky. Could have been a bit cleaner and had nicer kitchen/bath items. Very loud noise from the street traffic until about 1AM, Kind of a musty stink I couldn't tell if it was coming from the alley below the bathroom window or the bathroom itself. After a couple days messing with the weird window dial in the bathroom, I'm pretty sure the smell was coming from the alley below, even though we were 6 floors up. But if you are looking for a relatively cheap place in the center of Waikiki, with a private room for you and your spouse, a pull out bed for your kid/s a rudimentary kitchen, with refrigerator, a coffee maker with grounds for your stay, then this one is pretty good. Though I have had better for similar price range. Beggars can't be choosers. BTW the swimming pool definitely looks better in person than in the photos. Though we never went in it. And kids seem to love it.

When they said gorgeous, the rental unit put the capital "G" in gorgeous. And when I say that I mean that. I was amazed by the description of the unit to how the actual unit itself was... Every detailed info about the rental was exactly how the place turned out to be. I believe the amount of money spent for those 2 nights was well spent &' I would do it all over again. On one condition, if I stay at the bamboo Waikiki hotel if I could please stay up on the 8th floor I believe it is with the gigantic lanai and BBQ grills...
