The unit is the size of a moderate hotel room, with a very small kitchenette. The building is narrow, one unit wide, which means that if you are high enough (we were on the 11th floor), there are spectacular ocean views from the windows on each side of the unit. The location is perfect . . . away from the Waikiki rat race, a very short walk to a public beach, and if you can score a visitor pass from a friend, the Outrigger Canoe Club is only two doors away.
The views make it easy to overlook that this is an older building and unit, and it shows, at least cosmetically. The AC is a bit noisy, and the bed does squeak, but the unit was quite clean. These aren’t resort accommodations, but it’s clean, quiet and safe, and all we needed was a place to sleep. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again if the opportunity arises.

The unit has great ocean views on both sides above the tree canopy and other nearby buildings. The bathroom sink doubles for the kitchenette. Additional soap for the shower and dishwashing would be helpful next time. We'd come back again to stay here.

The AC unit and the bed are very noisy. Overall clean but the floors could have been a little cleaner and one wash cloth was not especially clean.

Location was perfect with beautiful views of Diamond Head and the ocean from the room. Short walk to the beach was nice and if you want hustle and action walk a mile and you can have shopping/restaurants. The unit is older- creaking bed when roll over and wasn’t cleaned very well with still garbage and dirty towels- contacted host and they relayed message to cleaners. Would stay here again as price is right and location is perfect!!

Over all we had a nice stay here. Quiet as compared to being on the Waikiki strip yet close enough to enjoy the beaches, restaurants, parks, and take part in the Waikiki festivities. Loved the courtyard and being able to look right out on the ocean. Our room was clean, the bed was a bit squeaky and softer than I am used to but that’s just me. The AC was cold, the kitchenette was nicely appointed with all items you would need for snacking, or heating items up, plenty of towels were also available and had good communication with the property managers. Would stay here again. Mahalo

Mark is a very good host and the property is ideal for a stay in the quiet part of Waikiki.

Property was nice. Would’ve been better if he didn’t mess up my reservation and move me to a whole other location. Was rude and then once he realizes he was in the wrong he talked to me nicer. Make sure he actually saves your reservation.

When we arrived, the property host determined that the condo had been double booked. As a result we were relocated to suite 901, a front of the property suite with a direct view of the ocean. It was a very pleasant surprise and we thank the property manager very much.

The location was great. Quiet. Away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, with the parks as a buffer, but still just a short walk to that area. The views of Diamond Head, Waikiki, and the beach/ocean were spectacular. The whole facility appeared to be clean and well maintained. The room was fine. Bathroom could use some attention - signs of age and water damage, but I would stay again.

For the price the location is great and the room is a good size with all the basics you need. However we had issues getting in the room, we didnt have mobiles so we had to rely on pay phones to say we had arrived, whoever was on the other side of the phone was so rude and unhelpful. However we eventually met someobe who was to take us to our room who was polite and the guy at the desk was helpful so apart from the 1 call customer service was good. Issues with the room, the bath tap was dodgey and the bathroom floor was soaked when we arrived, minor thing but the tap needs fixing at somepoint. The fridge seemed to be broken, kept freezing things randomly turned out to be a real pain when youd want to relax and have your salad ir wrap for tea only for it to be a block of ice, the sink was annoying for filling the kettle up or washing things which was a bit annoying. TV options were great for winding down in the evening or getting out the sun for a bit. Would i go here again yes, but i do hope they make it a bit easier to confirm their arrival for people outside the US and just fix some of the things inside the apartment and itd make for a faultless stay.

Nice unit but it really needs to be painted. The paint is chipped and peeling terribly in the bathroom. Other than that it was great.

My dad lives a few doors down so this is a perfect location for us when we visit. It’s a good walk to Waikiki and beaches. The loudest thing around is the surf and wind.

I've been looking at the Diamond Head Beach Hotel and Residences for a few years now and finally got a week booked there. It's quiet, on the ocean, in Kapiolani Park and a 10-15 minute walk to the big Waikiki hotels and attractions. The accommodations were bright, clean and the views from the 11th floor were great, on both sides. Friendly staff, reserved parking in the basement and a self-serve laundry were all bonuses.
