A spot in paradise

Perfect location across from the Honolulu Zoo with a bit of a view of the ocean and a great view of Diamond Head. Close to everything, much within walking distance. Unit was a bit dated but everything worked fine. It was a nice surprise that the Hula Bar is located just off of the second floor of the hotel. A real fun spot to meet people and listen to live music. We highly recommend this location!

Nice place.

This rental is very decent for the price and located right next to Waikiki Beach so you can walk out your door and be right there! Excellent location but bit loud. Not too bad. Having your own lanai with a view is awesome. Bring your own shampoo. Staff at the front desk are very friendly and let you stash luggage before/after check in for free which is very nice. TV was glitchy. Kitchenette was nice. Highly recommend for the price.

Unsere Buchung für das Hotel wurde von Vrbo oder dem Hotelbetreiber nicht dem Hotel mitgeteilt, wir sind im Computer nicht aufgeschienen. Erst nach mehreren nervigen Telefonaten, niemand war zuständig, konnte die Sache abgeklärt werden und wir unser Zimmer beziehen. Zimmer sehr schön und sauber. Im Badezimmer waren einige Kakerlaken. Aber trotz allem ein gut gelegenes, sauberes Hotel. Preis und Leistung stimmen.

Pros:- The location is great and views are gorgeous - exactly as shown!- Very affordable; we even booked an extra night in order to check out in the evening instead of the morning- There is also an indoor seating area that does not appear to be in any of the pictures; it was very cute and we used it often- The shower is nice and spacious for one- There's a chest full of books and a closet full of beach supplies :) Kitchen had everything we needed and they even provided laundry detergent- Bed is quite comfortable- Manager is very friendly and responsiveCons:- Neither the bathroom nor balcony door would lock properly (not a safety issue since it is several floors up, but not ideal)- The adjustable overhead lights make something between a low buzzing and a high-pitched squeal (the set in the entrance was the worst). Since there were other lights, we simply didn't use them other than in the bathroom. (This may only be an issue if you have sensitive hearing)- If you're tall, you'll have to duck in the shower as the max water height is around six feet

Our stay at Bills place.

This property worked well for our stay. The price was reasonable, the view was acceptable, Bill was a GREAT Host, the front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location is fantastic for swimming as it is a short walk to the beach. There are many restaurants, ABC Stores and shopping...etc within walking distance. We really did enjoyed our stay.Now for issues one may wish to be aware of, first off, the street noise, talk about a city that never sleeps, the roadway directly between the zoo and the condo is terrible.There is considerable road noise throughout the day and way into the night. Motorcycles, very loud, Cars very loud, and the one that angered me the most.......Firetrucks tooting their horn for no apparent reason as they drove by. All unnecessary in my opinion.The place is in need of updating as the range top has only one useable burner. The kitchen utensils are pretty rough with knives that are not scarp. It was difficult cutting most anything.Now, that said, we would stay again. These are just items we feel should be shared......to be fair.

Spectacular Diamond Head View

The place was perfect for our stay. We were able to vie Diamond Head on the lanali I in the morning while having coffee and then walk to the beach. The unit is older but we came for the views and the local attractions so it was fine. Shower was perfect and we did not find the noise a problem. Bill was a great host and we appreciated all he did for us. Hope to return soon

Wonderful Waikiki Grand Hotel stay Jan 2024

Our two-week stay was fantastic. Our host, Bill, was quick to communicate and provided helpful instructions for check-in. The building and facilities were well-maintained, and the staff at the main desk were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The location was exceptional, with a picturesque view of Diamond Head, the Honolulu Zoo and surrounding park, and the vast expanse of the ocean stretching over Waikiki beach. The room itself was well-stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals and had extra beach chairs, umbrella and lanai. Parking nearby was easy to find. We would love stay here again in the future.

Perfect

Everything was exactly as I hoped it would be. Very relaxing, the lanai is always cool with a nice breeze. The view is amazing, you will not be disappointed, and of course it is so close to the beach. The parking garage has bigger spots than any parking garages I had to visit in Waikiki when out and about. The room was perfect, the hotel itself is clean and well cared for. I cooked breakfast every morning which was so nice to be able to do. ABC is right there for any musubi cravings, gifts to take home, etc. I would highly recommended staying here, and would absolutely stay here again. Top notch. :)

Great Views!

This property is a gem of a find. The lanai faces south, so sunrises in the east over Diamondhead are stunning, as is the moon when visible (we experienced a full moon during our stay). To the east is a nice view of Waikiki beach, waves rolling in and surfers. This location is walkable to everything. The property manager Bill has excellent communication every step of the way. He is attentive to the cleanliness of the room, which was wonderfully accommodating. Other reviewers talked about the small bathroom, but we thought it was perfect and exactly what we needed. We rented a car to get offsite a few times, away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. It is crowded but worth walking the beach and to the Waikiki Beach Walk Plaza. The only drawback is the noise level from the street below the lanai--buses, shuttles, trucks being unloaded (ABC next door), surfers who park in the zoo parking lot, parties happening in the park adjacent to the zoo. Quiets down around 1p or 2p and starts up right before sunrise. All in all, it is a great value for the views.
