Perfect location and price

We’ve stayed here before and will be back again. Location is perfect. So close to the beach and restaurants. The bar can be loud at night but it doesn’t bother us. Room is small but clean and it’s exactly as shown in pictures. Hotel front desk is very nice as well.

Great location

This propery was so close to the beach, it was easy to get to and from the beach front. It is on the same floor as Hulas so expect a little noise at night due to shared hall. I would stay again, as the location was excellent.

This hotel is what it is - great value for money with the price reflecting the facilities and the downsides. Yes, it is affected by bar noise and it is small - but it is convenient, cheap and has all the basics. Reception is helpful when needed.

I loved the location of the property. Very close to the beach. I also enjoyed Hula's Bar which is located just down the hall (Great food and drink). The unit is very well laid out and had everything I needed. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. I plan to replace my bed at home, with the same brand, after sleeping on this bed. The bar noise was non-existent, except for at closing time, but that noice passes quickly. I will definitely rent here again!!

Excellent location

Absolutely great location! The room was small but very clean and had great access to everything. The air conditioning kept the room nice a cool. So close to the beach, restaurants and shops and right next to the zoo. The only downside is there is a bar/restaurant on the same level so it can be a little loud at night. It didn’t bother us at all but some it may. Would definitely stay again. We spent all of our time outside and had a nice clean place to shower and turn in at night so it was perfect for us. The front desk staff is really friendly and the upstairs balcony has a beautiful view on the roof.

Corner retreat.

The overall experience was amazing. Location and approximation to the beach and park is amazing not to mention to other conveniences and attractions. The second floor location is also a real treat to easy access to Hula's but also accessibility to the lobby and parking. The accommodations in the room were 5 star if you ask me. Cleanliness of the room was just another added bonus. The bed was nice and cozy and the overall feel of the room felt like an absolute hideaway. Definitely will stay again. The amenities in the bathroom was definitely thoughtful and well kept. Having beach towels, boogie boards and other beach necessities is definitely amazing. Thank you for this corner retreat. Loved our stay.

The only thing I liked about this hotel was the location. The hotel was located a walkable distance from the beach and shopping centers. What I did not like about the hotel was that it was unsanitary, we found roaches in our room. Second, we had to deal with the nuisance from the bar across our hotel room. For the nights that we stayed in, we had to hear the disruption of bar goers all night long in the hallway. The fact that the hotel does not have enforced regulations for this, speaks about their management.

Extremely noisy

The apartment is dusty and not well cleaned. The bed is like a hammock. No window to open and the AC smells. At night you hear all the delivery trucks for the hotel which is as well in the building. Next to the apartment is a bar. We didn’t get a lot of sleep.

Ask questions

The suite is exactly as pictured. And location is central to beach and eatery. The hotel bar is outside the suite literally. So you can hear loud conversations from traffic to bar. Ear plugs or headphones for at night. Make sure the bathroom window is not left open no screen and bugs can come in easily. The lighting in the hall entering the suite is very dim. Ask questions before reserving wasn't for me but maybe for you.

Amazing stay!

This was the perfect little place for me and my partner. The staff was amazing, we had access to the parking garage, and our room was nice and clean!! Only downside is that it is across the hall from a bar which could get pretty rowdy in the hallways at night- we were so tired each day it didn’t bother us too bad! It’s definitely very tiny! The bed is a double/full sized bed so if you stay with another person- hope you like cuddling! It is perfect if you aren’t planning to spend a lot of time in the room! We parked in the parking garage which was nice because I was stressed to leave a rental outside/on the street. The garage was nice and easy to access. Literally 2 min walk from beach. Great location with restaurants, shopping, drinks and beach so close. I do wish their was a dustpan to sweep up sand, but we just used the little mop to “sweep”. Overall, great stay, would stay again!

Hawaii was amazing

Our overall stay was wonderful. The host was fantastic and easy to connect with! The room was clean, to door access always worked! The beach is a 2 minute walk away (so easy!). The room had snorkel gear / boogie boards for use. However - the room is smaller that appears in pictures. This room is 100% for 1-2 people only! The bathroom / shower are smaller so would be difficult for a bigger person navigate through. The pool is on the backside of the hotel, it’s okay. You bring back sand from the beach (no matter how hard you try not to!) but a broom and dust pan would have been nice. I used the swiffer to “sweep” the floor. This room is on the 2nd floor and so is the bar (I believe it mentioned that in the description) - but it’s very close to the bar and people can be loud. Hawaii was amazing - I’d work with Mark again in a second - I’d stay in the same hotel, just not this room.

The only good thing about this place is the location, but even that is not worth it. I had 6 nights booked, and left after one night. The room was disgusting and had not been cleaned in quite some time. There was large clumps of dust and dirt all over the walls, ceiling, fan and AC that was blowing into the room. The bathroom was gross and still had dirt and stains on the mirror, sink and roof, and there were bugs. The other kicker, which I feel is not expressed properly in the listing is the bar in the building. The room is on the 2nd floor and the bar is quite literally right across the hall in the same building. Loud music non stop until 2-3am and people come and go and hangout loudly in the hallway until much after. There was a window where I got maybe an hour of sleep, and then the garbage gets picked up right outside your room at 4am every day which is extremely loud. This place caused huge amounts of stress and health concerns during our vacation, and cost us a day with searching for somewhere else and fighting for a refund. I messaged the host multiple times about this and received no reply until many days later. Eventually after calls and multiple messages with the host David, he gave me a refund for the remaining nights. I found David was fair to deal with, despite originally offering a full refund and going back on it to exclude the one night, and try to charge me a CLEANING FEE?? I await the copy and pasted response from the host. Trust every bad review.

Amazing location

The host was great. He addressed all of my concerns and kept me well informed, swiftly, right up through our stay. He was here on property at check-in. The room was exactly as it is in the photo. Very clean and we'll maintained. Well thought out amenities, everything you could possibly need. Check the room. We didn't even realize half the things that were available. Do not miss the observation deck on the 10th floor. There are very sturdy tables and chairs up there. You can bring your coffee and enjoy the amazing view of Diamond Head. You can see the sunrise and sunset from up there. It is breathtaking!! The location could not be better. Almost everything in Waikiki is within walking distance. There is a bit of hussle and bussle so there are people on the streets in the evenings. We never felt unsafe walking through the shops or going to eat. They have ABC stores on every corner. These stores have everything you need. Food, liquor, souvenirs, toiletries, water etc. You are literally less than a block from the beach. There is a not-to-be-missed free Hula show .02 of a mile on the beach three nights a week. The sun sets there as well. There is a Teddy's burgers attached to the hotel, amazingly good burgers. The only negative I could say is, the bed is a bit small but very comfortable. The parking garage is on a very steep incline and an extremely tight fit. It is convenient and safe. There is a huge parking garage one block over for $1 more per night. I'll park there next time, just me. There is a bar about 30 feet from your room. The patrons don't realize there is a guest room next to this lounge. The karaoke music and the people drinking can be a bit loud, especially at closing time. I advise earplugs. The rest of the time, this hotel is quaint and quiet. DO NOT let this detour you from this gem of a find. This place was amazing. We would gladly stay here again.
