Waikiki Banyan T2 on 29th -The views are breathtaking!!!

This is our 12th time to Hawaii and 4th to Honolulu. We were very satisfied with this condo during our stay on Oahu. The condo was very clean when we arrived.

There were no insects (experienced in other condos we have stayed). The photos are accurate, with some areas beautifully renovated (bathroom counter, shower area and tub, kitchen counter and lower cabinets);other areas remain with original fixtures (which was fine with us as they were kept us well and clean). We consider sleep during vacation extremely important, thus we are always concerned about the bedding.

I noticed that there have been some comments regarding the beds. We found all of them fine:futon in the living room was comfortable and clean, the two beds in the bedroom, although not brand new pillowtop mattresses, were comfortable and provided me with wonderful sleep every night. The sheets smelled fresh and fully cleaned. There were sufficient towels, hand clothes and blankets. We did use the washer/dryer ($2 in quarters/for each=$4 total per wash/dry), which were fine, we never noticed anyone else using them.

The flooring was nice-hard tiles and clean.

The location was near the center of Waikiki, near diamond Head. The building is lovely and spacious. The Banyon is composed of 2 buildings-this particular unit has spectacular views of the mountains (i prefer rather than ocean), there is no taller building nearby. One of the most important aspects was no AC was needed (we prefer fresh air). The unit welcomes morning/early afternoon sun, by late afternoon and evening the sun is on the opposite side and you feel the nice trade winds cooling down the apartment. Overnight is cool, and a couple of nights even chilly!

Some notes: Waikiki has become so busy that with the windows open, even overnight one can hear the bustling downtown area of people, cars, AC building units humming, ambulance sirens even on the 29th floor but as the night goes on some of these lessen. Though there is a cleaning fee, occupants are asked to tidy up the condo prior to leaving (which we usually do anyways as we are very clean people), but there was not a full roll of paper towels provided.

I highly recommend this condo and we had a great and peaceful vacation! And remember to visit Kailua Beach, a very short drive from downtown.

The condo was nice and clean. You get a mountain view. The beds are in need of replacing. We've stayed at other condos at this site and they were much more updated. It would be nice to have a luggage stand. They had 3 sand chairs which was nice. The one odd thing is that they didn't supply a roll of paper towel yet they ask you to clean up and dust before you leave even though we pay for cleaning. The lock instructions were not clear especially when you leave. You need to punch in code and turn lock to secure the door or else the door isn't locked.

Super clean, with plenty of fluffy bath and beach towels, beach toys, chairs, boogie boards, kitchen supplies. Perfect for our family of 4. No afternoon sun, so nice and cool inside. The mountain view is beautiful! Keypad lock means to key to carry around and lose. Love the free parking and location. Highly recommended.

Nice places close to everything nice staff
