We felt comfortable from the moment we stepped in the door. We were greeted by the Security personnel who facilitated our check-in process. Within 10 minutes we were on the elevator up to the 19th floor and then out on the balcony overlooking the Ala Wai Canal. While not an ocean view, the view was interesting and relaxing. The clouds over the mountains/hills were ever changing and predicted the weather for us. Watching the rowers on the canal and the ball players at the park were an added bonus. But enough of the view! The condo was comfortable and well equipped. Beach chairs, beach mats, yoga mats, snorkel/masks, flippers and a cooler were available for our use. The laundry facilities on the 4th floor were convenient; the condo even has laundry baskets for us to use! Mike, the owner, was communicative and helpful. It was a short walk two blocks and through the park to the beach. Great location! Will definitely stay there on our next trip to Oahu, which hopefully will be sooner than later. Mahalo!

This was our 3rd time staying here and as always is was very comfortable and convenient to all Waikiki has to offer. Thanks to Mike and Maria being gracious hosts that make you feel right at home during your stay. We will definitely be back.

Nice and cozy stay with many amenities (free laundry with multiple units, 2 saunas, gym, pool, game room, etc.)! Walkable city life close to beach. If plan on renting a car, try daily rates to avoid finding and paying high parking fees.

The Studio Condo was well equipped and provided us with everything we needed. The location was great. An easy walk to shops & restaurants. Also, great access to buses and trolleys.
Mike was great to deal with. He provided all the info we needed for our stay and check in was seamless.
Our first evening we heard lots of sirens and was concerned about the noise for sleeping. It wasn't a problem at all and we're both light sleepers. Although we didn't use the laundry, it was available to us free of charge, which is a big plus when travelling.
Highly recommend the condo for a couple.

My husband and I rated this property 5 stars. However, our adult son, who slept on the pullout said the bed was really hard and he had trouble sleeping.
We were pleasantly surprised to find beach chairs, beach mats, etc. on the balcony. Very thoughtful.

The room was well stocked with anything you need to cook and clean. The bed was comfortable and the view from the lanai was beautiful. Building staff were kind and knowledgeable. Would choose this place again next visit.

Jason and I are thrilled with our hosts and our room during our most recent stay in Hawaii. From the great communication to the fabulous accommodations, we can't wait to come back and stay again! Within walking distance of SO MUCH and also super easy travel by bus. Beautiful pool which was the PERFECT temperature and all super helpful staff at Royal Garden Waikiki. Perfect place to celebrate Margo's birthday and the new engagement of Jason and Margo. ❤️

Condo is great, communication with owner was excellent.
The selection of security personnel needs reviewing. We arrived after midnight and the security person was not at all welcoming.
Other than that we strongly reccomend this condo

Nice place. Full bath, studio kitchen and seated balcony are all well appointed. Frosty mini-split keeps you cool for sleeping. Location is ideal to beach, shopping and boat harbor for fishing (walking distance to the boat I used). Add a bus pass and see the entire area easily with stops right near the building.

We are an easygoing couple, but this property was above and beyond what I expected! From the start the owner communicated efficiently and was very friendly.
Reading all the reviews of other properties was overwhelming, and it's hard to filter the high maintenance or irrational folk from the truly snowed ones.
I think it's important to know priorities! Ours were: cleanliness, a well-equipped kitchen, good internet for the occasional work check-in, and a quieter location at night.
The place was very clean, with lots of towels, blankets, a desk area, a great little balcony with the view of the canal for morning coffee. The kitchen has a medium size fridge, good freezer, hot plate and lots of utensils. Bonus: left over seasonings, and shampoos and sunscreen in the bathroom.
The internet is super fast, and the location is just a few minutes walk from the quieter beach across the park. Where we went swimming and spotted sea turtles while snorkeling just randomly. At night it is nice and quiet. And we much preferred it to being close to Waikiki beach (too crowded and touristy - not our style)
Everyone from the owner, the concierge to the valets were just the nicest people on earth. But not "fake nice", like actually genuinely nice. Giving us lots of tips on where to park our motorcycles.
This property does not include a parking stall, but the building has it for $50 a night. We rode all over the island on motorcycles, so parking wasn't an issue. 10 stars! Highly recommend!

The suite itself, friendly hosts, resort amenities and staff all once again contributed to a safe, clean, quiet and relaxing vacation. A comfortable bed, cooking facilities, lanai over looking the Ala Wai canal for your morning coffee or meals, and a host that’s easy to communicate with should you have any questions. The location is perfect - close to bus routes, restaurants, shopping and a relaxing stroll to the beach boardwalk. Will definitely book this suite when I return. Mahalo Mike and Maria

The condo is small but clean and quiet with a very comfortable bed, kitchen facilities and good view of the canal from the lanai. A lovely place to have a glass of wine and applies after a busy day in the sun. Access to the pool, fitness centre, and free laundry facilities were great amenities. We appreciated all of these! We also found that the people who worked at the facility were not only friendly but extremely helpful and addressed any concerns immediately. This condo is in an excellent location. Close to the beautiful Fort De Russy Park and Beach. We found the beach chairs extremely useful. There is also a new Food Market close by with fresh morning coffee and treat as well as other essentials. Many restaurants are within walking distance. Buses, which go everywhere on island, were just a block away. The communication with the owners was friendly, easy and comprehensive. We understood that we had rented a one bedroom condo but it turned out to be a studio condo. Wires crossed from sight description. However, we adjusted and this studio condo served us well. We had a wonderful three weeks in Hawaii and would definitely recommend this condo. Mahalo!

The property was perfect for our 7-day stay in Waikiki. It is in a relatively quiet neighborhood for a city and within easy walking distance to dining, shopping and the beach. We enjoyed our stay in comfortable accommodations (great mattress).

Condo is small but suited our needs very well. This is the 2nd time we have stayed here. It’s close enough to the beach for a nice walk but far enough away to be a bit more peaceful. Located in the Wyndham TimeShare resort gives you the strength of a well kept property with the ability to use the pool and laundry and there are always people there to greet you when you come in so it feels very safe. The host is excellent! When we had issues due to cancellation of the MAX planes and bad weather, he was more than willing to work with us if we needed to come in early. Can’t say enough about the hosts and how nice they are.

The condo was clean, quiet, safe and relaxing with a super comfortable bed. Centrally located and so close for those morning walks to the beach boardwalk, bus stop around the corner and within a 5 minute walk to so many restaurants. Loved the ability to cook and eat on the lanai over looking the canal and enjoying the city views. Bonus - very good wifi, free laundry facilities, outdoor pool area with lots of lounge chairs, bbq facilities and friendly resort staff. The owners are very easy to work with, respecting your privacy but there should you have any questions. Mahalo and can’t wait to return in the new year!

Really enjoyed my stay here. The place was clean and tidy, comfortable bed and relaxing space on the lanai overlooking the river. All staff were friendly and helpful and the owner is one of the kindest people I have had the pleasure dealing with. Highly recommended.

Just perfect for our needs. It exceeded expectations. It’s small and SUPER efficient. I even had my favorite French press for coffee:) The skyline from the 19th floor balcony is breathtaking. 8 minute walk to see the Friday night fireworks from the Hilton, free and right on the beach. Communication with owner was above and beyond, it’s like talking to friends. Highly recommend.

My husband and I spent 17 days at this property. It was well equipped for our needs. There was some remodeling going on in the unit above, but the owner reached out to us several times to make sure the noise wasn't an issue for us. He even arranged a quiet space in the owner's lounge for my husband. The people who work at the property are very friendly and helpful. There's a concierge who can arrange tours if you're interested. There are many washers and dryers available for free. Bed was comfortable. We closed the lanai door at night and used the AC while sleeping so noise was never an issue at night. Would stay here agai

It was just as advertised, except there was no view of the ocean. The water view was of the Alu Wai canal, and we could see mountains and the local area. Although this was a private rental, it was in the Wyndham Royal Gardens so had all those amenities. It was easy to walk to Waikiki Beach or to the bus stop. All sorts of restaurants were within a few blocks. We were not used to city noises, but since this is on the 19th floor, they did not bother us in the night. The facility was very quiet and there was little noise from the neighbors. The free laundry downstairs has plenty of machines. The pool is nice. The kitchen, though small, was very well-equipped and though the fridge is small it was plenty for a week’s stay.
We met guests who were renting a unit on the same floor as us and she said their unit had no seating and a tiny little counter top fridge-plus it was on the other side and got the hot morning sun which made sitting out for breakfast difficult.
We would rent this again if we return.

This property was very clean and quiet. The staff were very nice. It is a small walk to food, shopping and the beach. It had everything we needed for our nine day stay. We made breakfast almost every morning and ate out the rest of our meals. My only complaint would be parking. It does cost $38.00 per day which starts and ends at noon. They only take cash so come prepared. There is parking by the canal however unless your not driving good luck. So definitely plan on paying if you have a car. You have to pay to park almost everywhere. Safeway was a very short drive. We enjoyed our stay...

We loved our stay here! Here's the perks for us:
-SUPER clean (minus a few dishes and silverware, but not the host's fault)
-bigger than pictures made it seem
-great location! It was out of the super busy area of Waikiki and within walking distance to just about anything
-beautiful lanai with great views
-A/C worked great
-great communication with the hosts
-easy access to the room....no keys to remember was a huge plus!
We will 100% stay here again when we return to Oahu. Thanks again for everything, Mike!

We had a great stay here. Mike was very helpful with advice and very good with communication. The kitchenette had all the basics and was very useful for preparing meals if we chose to eat in. The view from the balcony was nice at night and the pool and laundry facilities were also great. The apartment was a great fit for our needs.

This was a lovely space! Three of us who got turned away late in the game from dorms at the university for a conference, found this space a splendid alternative. 19th flioor in big city, but still felt private and comfy. The pool is perfect temperature and all the dishes and needs are there a plenty! Thank you for hosting us. I cannot wait to return.

Nice hotel located very close to a military parking lot with a reasonable cost. Room was very comfortable and use of laundry room came with no extra charge. It was a reasonable walk to a number of our favorite places to dine such as Cheesecake Factory, P F Chang, Hard Rock Cafe, etc. Short walk to Waikiki Beach and beach where you can watch the Friday Night Fireworks behind Hilton Hawaiian Village.

Mike was the best!! Great little condo perfect for our family (2 adults and 1 kid). Place was clean with lots of amenities. Kitchen had every appliance you would need! Items for the beach (literal 5-7 min walk!!) were there as well! We recommend bringing your own beach towels or buying some when you come as there is only 1 available there for use. Wasn’t a big deal at all for us. Even some bathroom essentials available too! We had a car and paid the valet cost for the daily stay and the hotel folks were kind and accommodating as well!! All in all, we had a GREAT vacation and having the ease and comfort of this condo made the trip even better!! Also, if you stay here, sign the guest book!! It was neat to read where everyone came from before us!! Mahalo Mike for sharing your home with us!! 🤙🏽

Neat, clean Condo perfectly sized for my needs and very close to activities. Easy to walk anywhere and great view from the balcony. Check in was thorough and I had no issues. Notes from the owner were very welcoming, and I will hopefully use the property again on my next trip.

We stayed here a week. Beginning to end it was a pleasant experience. 10 minute walk to a beautiful beach. About 5 minutes to awesome stores and restaurants. We used Uber to further destinations.
The unit is clean and comfortable. Hosts have put thought into making their guests comfortable. I guess there were other guests on our floor but we never saw anyone. The elevator is so quick to arrive. Even though we were not technically hotel guests the hotel staff is all helpful and gracious.
The swimming pool area is very lovely. Free laundry room is a real benefit.. pack lightly and do laundry mid stay.
Walmart is a $10 Uber ride away (each way). Go there and buy your essentials (Kona coffee is about $8 less than the convenience stores). There’s are ABC convenience stores everywhere including one less than a block from hotel.
The night time view from the balcony is breathtaking…
For a couple who has simple basic needs we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Mahalo Dave!!!

Location was perfect. The apartment was comfortable, and had many amenities we didn't have the chance to use. It also had everything you need for your stay, including consumables. Everything was clean and ready. Michael was also available for anything we needed, although we didn't bother him much. I would come here again.

After the mental drain that has been the last year, I desperately needed a vacation. This place was perfect for my needs: clean, with plenty of peace and quiet, pretty views, and a great location. Everything I needed was in walking distance; I loved being able to grab a meal within minutes!
I arrived before check in time and due to Covid, the front desk was not able to hold my bags, but Mike was very responsive and got me into the room without hassle. The room was clean, exactly as pictured, and also very well stocked; the beach umbrellas was a godsend!
All in all, a great trip. Thanks for a very relaxing, healing stay!
