The property was great, clean, well prepared ,and as advertised. Great location for both the beach and retail sides of Waikiki Beach walk and easy to drive in/out of. The management team was very responsive, informative, professional, and friendly. The only recommendation I would have is to replace the mattress on the sofa bed, it is completely worn out. The air mattresses were a great alternative.

Here for business and fun so this location was perfect. Quick elevators and great coffee shop for convenience. Condo had everything needed for cooking and plenty of towels. And the bed is really comfortable.

Communication was electronic and fit our needs. We loved the unit and it had everything we needed. The building is by the zoo and a beach with a rock wall for great swimming. Parking pass is a nice addition to the reservation. WE WANT to stay here again. We come frequently and the Banyan is our choice. The unit came with some beach items.

駐車場も無料で良いです。滞在中は工事中の為、サウナが利用出来なくて残念でした。事前にアナウンスがあれば、なお最高でした。

We stayed for 22 nights in Jan. 2024. The property was clean and well maintained. Access to the property was easy. Parking was included, which is a big plus. The property management company was good to deal with. Any enquiries were always answered promptly. This is one property that we would definitely return to.

Nice view, perfect location, close to everything,beach, stores and resto,not crowded, smooth contactless check in/out process, everything is provided in the kitchen, beddings, towels(we are picky with towels so we bought new), toiletries, umbrellas, floaties, all u have to do is bring urself and ur clothes. Will come back in the future.

Overall this condo at Waikiki Banyan is a great place to stay. It does need some TLC and updating in the bathroom area (mostly tub/shower is cracking) along with some newer sheets and towels. The front door and window blinds also need some TLC as they are damaged near the lock (maybe from changing it?) and the smaller blinds above the AC unit are missing. Thankful for the AC and the beach umbrella (although the cover for it was also ripped). There are also two new body surfing boards in this unit as we couldn’t bring them home with us. Hoping next renters can enjoy them! ;)

We stayed here for 10 days with teenagers and found the property to be extremely handy with everything you need for a short stay.
It was walking distance to shops, restaurants, the beach, the bus stop, and many other things.
The property is conmfortable with plenty of spare bedding, a kitchen stocked with handy items, and wifi, etc. The pool and spa was also handy and well maintained. The company managing the property were extremely helpful during the check in process and communicated with us pleasantly and promptly throughout our stay. I would highly recommend the property to anyone looking for a condo in Waikiki.

Great location in Waikiki! Dated but expected. Communication was great. A couple of things to note:We originally didn’t have enough towels for the group, but after a call, they delivered another set. One set per person for the week was a bit disappointing. The sofa bed was really uncomfortable. Very springy with little to no cushion.

Pros: great location, close to the beach and great view. The contactless check in and put are great. Parking is included in the condo rental 😀 Cons: This is a bit dates condo but it has all the basic essentials. The kitchen teflons pots and pans are pretty scratched up. The sofa bed is very uncomfortable but luckily there are airbeds so I have no complain.

This was my 3rd stay at Waikiki Banyan. And despite my first impression was that the 3401-1 was better than other rooms it appeared to be a false one -- just renovated floor, nice fridge and microwave made the room look better. What we learned quite soon is that the room is full of cockroaches, and not only big ones that could come from outside area, but of all the sizes, which means they were breed there. There were few locked kitchen cabinets where they came from, especially in the evening. And there were traps under the sink, so owners or at least cleaners knew about the problem. Long story short it's a shame for owners to rent out their apartment full of cockroaches, and I would not recommend to anybody to stay in that particular room. My fault was that I believed in good reviews from VRBO, but my wife then noticed that the last one was from 2020. My bad. Never come back.

Our stay was quite nice. The unit is comfortable and convenient. It is a little dated but overall it was clean and the walk to the beach and shops is about 5 minutes. The view from the lanai is nice although there is some street noise. The pool area is not overly crowded and there is plenty of space available. The management company was responsive to any questions we had and the front desk staff was helpful even though we weren't guests of the hotel.

The condo is located above a hotel, the elevators are very crowded due to the hotel guests. The condo is on very high floor so it helps to eliminate the noise from the streets. The location is very convenient, steps away from the beach and the main strip of Waikiki. It's a small one bedroom space and the one window unit AC works descent to keep the place cool, as long as you have it turned on all day all night. The free parking space is very helpful since parking is hard to find in the area. Overall, I had a pleasant stay and will stay here again when I return.

We were quite pleased with our stay. The place is very convenient as it is close to the zoo, the beach, the aquarium, the bus, the church and a large variety of restaurants and loads and loads of ABC stories to pick up a few groceries you might need for the room. We would give this room a 4 out of 5. The view is also spectacular from the deck as it over looks Diamond Head and also the ocean. The room, its self, could use a little updating as the walls could definitely use a paint job. We found the king bed and pillows very comfortable but the sofa bed is very uncomfortable as the springs poke right through the mattress. The kitchen is nicely updated and all appliances were in good condition and anything we needed for use in the kitchen was there except for a roaster which we bought and left with the room for the next guest. Also there were a number of items in this unit for the beach (great). It was great to have the free parking. We had one complaint and that was upon arrival, our pass code to the condo was not working and we could not get ahold of anyone to help us out. We phoned, texted and emailed the company number at 4:00 in the afternoon and no one responded to any of these. This was very disheartening. We had to find another place to stay that night. The next day we emailed again and still no reply so we walked downtown to find their office. Once they heard of our dilemma they were very apologetic and accommodating. They did their very best to make us happy. But, they must be more attentive to their phones, texts and emails. In the long run, we would recommend this property to others as it is very close to everything you would need and the beach is lovely.

Reviewer Comments:
We stayed in this units for 12 days and there are better units in the Banyan (we are repeat travelers for years). First of all the management company was ridiculous. The towels were old and smelly and the garbage can had no lid. So when we checked in we got one garbage bag for 12 days. If you ever cooked fish there you know what I'm talking. So we called the management company and they did "nothing" just told us to pound sand and its our responsibility. The view is also kind of misleading since there is a big corner of the neighboring unit obstructing the ocean view. If you hang yourself out wide enough you will see it. Units itself had no dishwasher - be aware you will clean dishes every day. Summary - not a good corner unit - best corner units are #13/14 in Tower1. Not goin gto stay in this unit again

The best thing about this condo is the view of Diamond Head. It is in a good location with only a short walk to Waikiki beach. We liked the fact it was at the end of Waikiki which made getting in and out to the freeway easier.
The condo is well stocked and we had everything we needed. The sofa and recliner are a little worn, but served it purpose. Queen size bed was comfortable enough. Would have been nice to have a small nightstand next to the bed, also had too many things stuffed into the bedroom closet. The bedroom can get a little warm if you choose to close the sliding doors; air conditioner is in the main room. There are several items stored on the balcony to be used on the beach. We loved having an umbrella to sit under at the beach.
Complex amenities were good, with BBQ pits, tennis courts and swimming pool. Free parking was very convenient.
Overall we would recommend this condo. With a few furniture upgrades and a flat screen TV mounted on the wall, this condo could easily earn a 5 star rating.

Reviewer Comments:
The unit did have a good view. Kitchen well stocked. Had equipment for beach which was good - umbrella - boogie board. The fridge seal was broken but they will be fixing. Bathroom vanity - bulbs were of all different types and a couple were blinding had to get them to put proper bulbs in the vanity. The king bed was too firm - didn't sleep that great Pullout couch - extremely uncomfortable - can feel the springs right under the fabric. The bathtub was clogged but was fixed when there. It seems as though a plastic tub was placed over old one and was extremely uncomfortable to use (hurt feet to stand) as was not flat at the bottom. The shower curtain constantly sticks to you. Seems like only good for shower not a bath. Was discolored in bottom due to water pooling in the middle due to the uneven bottom. Chairs - cushions too flat. High chairs - uncomfortable to sit on. Feet sit on hard bars and chairs tilt forward. Living room furniture cushions too well worn and not really comfortable to sit in for very long. Seemed dirty and need to be steam cleaned as was fabric. This unit needs the furniture refreshed. Towels - not enough Bedding - pillow cases and sheets all severely wrinkled which looked unprofessional. ( even the towels were extremely wrinkled ) Pillows - most were flat and unusable. They need all new pillows.

This unit is one of the best in the Waikiki Banyan. We have stayed here for 3 years and plan to come back again next year. Pictures are accurate but could use a bit of sprucing up - it's starting to look a wee bit tired. Fresh paint and bathroom repairs would do wonders.

1. The diamond head/ocean view from this property is half true. Significant buildings blocking the rest of your view from this photo, have been "conveniently" cropped out. Am not sure if half truth is the truth, but future renters please be aware.
2. The security deposit, although not much money, will take 14 days post your check-out for refund, pending checks from cleaning lady. This is generally out of HomeAway's norm, as 7-days is maximal.
Overall, I am not impressed with this place, and the handling of my booking etc. Maybe it's Wakiki area, but I doubt.

Nicely appointed condo, thoughtful managers asked for feedback too. Great location, especially to get out with out battling the worst of the traffic. Pool and facility were also good. View did have a building in east view, only downside was the brightness of the lights at night from the neighboring building's stairway lighting.
