Studio 605 at the Waikiki Grand Hotel Hawaii

This was a great spot to spend four days. Was close to all we wanted to do and the view from the sun deck was beautiful. Mark and his team were super to work with. While we did not use the galley type kitchen, it would be great for cooking breakfasts and lunches. Highly suggest a stay!

The room was small but not unexpected. It was nicely appointed for our needs complete with cooking facilities, which we didn't use as we thought we might. The only "problem" with the suite was that there are not many electrical outlets. All of the high ticket shopping areas were about a 15-25 minute walk to Ala Moana Blvd. There are a couple of convenience stores within 5 minutes walk or less plus restaurants and snack shops.

The room was neat and clean and well kept. No noise from neighbors or the pool below. It was a nice quiet finish to our honeymoon. We're retired geezers.

The view from the roof balcony has a nice view of the Zoo, across the street and the beach across another street. Diamond Head is not far away and a great view. Great for breakfast and evening drinks.

The one complaint I have is that I believed, based on conversations and emails, that parking was available at the hotel. It wasn't. Parking was along the park area by the beach. It could be a 1/4-1/2 mile walk back to the hotel, plus circling to find an available (free) parking space. Fortunately, we do a lot of walking but it is a time and distance consideration for some people.

If you're going to be in Honolulu and want to spend a lot of time at the beach, this is the place to stay. Step out the front of the building and you can see the beach. It's only about a 1 minute walk away. There are also several good restaurants right next door as well as a few ABC shops.

The room itself is not overly large, but it is very comfy and clean. It comes equipped with a 2 burner stove, large microwave, full sized fridge, toaster, AC, TV and high speed internet. My wife and I cooked many meals in the room, in order to save money and it worked out great. There is not much of a view, but it wasn't a big deal, since, as I stated above, you're only a block from the beach, so if you want to enjoy the ocean view, just head outside. The weather is gorgeous. It is located on a fairly busy road, but we didn't notice any traffic noise at all, when in the room.

Mark met us at the building and showed us to our room. He did a great job of detailing the features of the room as well as the shops, restaurants and sights that were nearby.

I hope that some day my wife and I will be able to return and if we are able, we would most certainly want to stay here again.

Great location, very clean, complete amenities & excellent price point. Mahalo Nui Loa

A perfect room for two. My friend and I stayed here for twelve days at the Waikiki Grand Hotel/Studio 605. The hotel was older, (studio remodeled) but offered great customer service and friendly tenants. The 10th floor patio is a real gem with beautiful views of Waikiki Beach, Park, and the Zoo. It was a great place to relax, eat, sunbathe, and have a few cocktails. Our only suggestion for improvement involving the room is to purchase a mattress topper (Costco has these for a reasonable price) for the very firm bed. Thanks for the great stay.
