Mary and Jonathan at the front desk were excellent friendly and helpful with all questions and needs. Mark was always quick to respond to questions. The wife is not what the letter says and it is not what is posted in the room. Contact Mark for an update. The room is pretty much as shown, the cabinet by the table has changed but it is fine for holding our clothes and suitcases. In reading some reviews there are complaints about noise. Hey, it is Waikiki, there is noise. Yes the slatted windows don't filter out the noise as some buildings but.... I slept just fine... except for the loud Cars. Waikiki needs some noise bylaws. At first glance it feels small and shows it's age, but you know the location, the price, the staff, The mini fridge, the microwave, the new clothes washers/dryers are all great. I would rather stay here than pay extra to stay at a fancy new building. It suited our needs. The bed was comfortable and coming from an area without air conditioning it took us a bit to figure out how to manage the room temp. I loved sitting on the balcony with the little table ledge. We had the best time there people watching. We could see the sun come up and the sun go down. It got a bit hot out there mid day but we took that to be nap time. We tried out the pool. It was a nice cool dip and some sun time. Only once was I joined by others. The construction surrounding the pool was a little loud at times.We have discovered since we got home our friends stay here every time
Small room but perfect for a solo traveler. It’s right by the beach. The Hula’s bar/nightclub is also in the same building, which is fun. A highlight of the room is opening the French doors and enjoying the balcony views. Photo attached was an amazing sunset from the balcony!
The location was great for getting to the bus to go anywhere. There are some really great street food venders all within walking distance. The street traffic was pretty loud. We didn't realize the window section was louvered. So loud noise was heard a lot until 11pm. The balcony was nice, it was warmer than normal during our visit.We didn't use it much for that reason.It is a nice setup, if there was better sound buffering we would stay again.
Amazing place, clean, plenty of towels (we like to shower a lot). Across the street from the Honolulu zoo (worth it!). Perfect location. Having the beach chairs and beach umbrella in the room saves you like 70 on the beach
Other than minor kitchen problems i would stay there again because my issues were taken care of immediately ly and kitchen problems resolved right away. Great host.
Location was great to walk to the beach, shops, restaurants, bus stop. Staff at front desk were friendly and informative. Nice to have free ice machine and paid laundry in the building basement. I enjoyed sitting on my balcony each morning overlooking the beach and zoo area. I had a cool drink at night on the balcony and did some people watching down below. The room is quiet except for the rare music-blasting car that might drive on Kapahulu. I never heard my building guests at all.
Fantastic location! Gorgeous view! Within walking distance to beach, zoo, shops and restaurants. Older building, bathroom door was difficult to open and close and windows were more like shutters so you could hear cars, radios and talking on busy street below late into the night. But I would say it was worth it given all of its positive points.
Very small room, felt like a hotel room. 2 ppl stayed in my group and it was very tight. Great location being close to the beach and a wonderful balcony. Hot water wasn’t working correctly during our stay. Great choice if you plan to spend very little time in the room. Bed was comfortable.
Wonderful location at the end of Waikiki Beach, facing the zoo. Beach is less than a block away with tons of restaurants close by! Not spacious by any means but great place to stay for a short time!
Great location to the beach and easy access to local shops and food!
The place was very clean and the elevators very fast.
The person at the front desk greeted us and was very helpful.
The beach is only a couple hundred feet from the building and we had a great view of the Beach, Ocean, Park and Diamond Head.
There are 2 restaurants and a bar in the building and over 25 restaurants within a mile along with endless shops and stores close by.
They have parking in the building for guests if you have a car. It will cost about $30.00 a day, but reserve you space prior to your arrival to guarantee a spot. We had a car for half of our vacation.
We had a great time here and will come back.
Communication with property manager was excellent. Fridge and microwave wasn't turned on when we first came into the room but was immediately fixed. Location couldn't be better being so close to the beach, Honolulu zoo, Waikiki area. Very small room, wobbly furniture, there is no space for cooking if you want to use the mobile cooking unit. Couldn't close the balcony door, so street noise was loud even with the AC turned on. The unit was definitely big and sufficient for us as a couple, but it's not a place you can relax in.
We really liked the location of this unit since it is not in the center of Waikiki, but you still easily walk there. The beach is only half a block away. The balcony is overlooking a park instead of other hotels, with the zoo on the left and beach/ocean on the right. It is a great people watching balcony. It is a bit noisy because of the road below, but we could not hear the nightclub that other people reported about. The unit is basic, but it has all you need; hot water kettle, coffee machine, fridge+freezer, some pots and pans, etc., even a french press. The 10th floor terrace is nice to hang out as well. Even better views!
Beautiful views, great location to transportation, comfortable.
Nice location with great views. Had everything we needed.
