The room was clean and adequate. The view of the mountain was lovely. Nice kitchen. Appreciated there were lots of towels. The main bed was great but the hideaway bed in the couch was just ok. So pleased to have had parking at all times in this busy city.

Comfortable for our family of four with kitchen, large sofa bed. Laundry room next door, parking garage, pool and Kuhio beach a 5 minute walk away. Elevator wait times will vary depending on time of day.

The apartment itself is nice, cute and simple. It has a beautiful view of the island and golf course and a balcony looking down 30 storeys! There were enough towels and the pull out bed comfortably fit two of us. We didn't try the pool but it looked nice.Shampoo/body wash were mini hotel sized; no refills unlike a hotel so you'll likely need to buy more if you stay more than a day or two. Check-in was very simple. Nowhere to leave your bags on checkout but luckily there's a paid bag drop nearby at the Marriott which works. Short walk to the beach which was awesome.
The building itself though is of concern. There was an actual fire in the building (!!!!!) and we had to walk down 30 storeys to the exit.
We saw smoke coming out of the 25th floor. There was no communication from the building about what had happened, but we were told by another guest that this had happened before during her stay. The fire alarm went off again at 9pm, again with no info and no ETA for when we could return, so we saw families with young children go to stay at other hotels. We were worried about returning for the night. The power also went out on our last day, though with this is we were warned in advance; we didn't have WiFi though which was difficult. In the description of this building it says there's no carbon monoxide detectors either (you can see in the listing it says to bring your own portable one). This wouldn't usually concern me too much but given the fire situation it was worrisome.

Great location and walking distance to everything in Waikiki. Parking included so that saves you a bundle. Would definitely recommend staying there. We will probably do the same.

The views from this location were so amazing, I did expect the carpet in the halls being pretty bad reading previous reviews but this was not a problem for us. For us having beautiful views, a good parking place to leave the car, and walking distance to Waikiki was so worth it.

This one bedroom condo was a great place for a family of four. The pull out sofa (at least a double if not a queen) and the king sized bed were both very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, including a coffee maker, rice cooker, and an automatic ice maker in the freezer! The size of the bathroom, living room, and bedroom were nice. The patio was amazing...a great mountain view and 2 entrances to the porch (sliding door from the bedroom and door from the living room). There are four elevators in the building and they worked well....several times we had to wait but no more than 5 minutes. And there was plenty of parking in the garage and all the spots were close to the elevators. The pool was nice....shallow but my kids enjoyed it. Plenty of lawn chairs to relax on. The location of the building itself is a bit off the main drag but that was fine with us. It was close to the beach so we could walk but we don't go to Waikiki Beach often since we drive around the island. It was a bit of a walk to our favorite place on Kuhio Ave....Ice Monster! Overall a nice place to stay.

Loved being so close to the beach, and down town. Felt safe and much easier to access then several blocks further into down town.

The location of the building is the best part. The room was decent, carpet could use some replacement, the towel bars could use remounting to a more solid source as they kept falling off the wall. The vent for the in the range top doesn't actually go outside, so the smoke from any cooking just blows up to the ceiling. The elevators situation was terrible.. I mean terrible, they have 4 and if all 4 were working you wouldn't be waiting 15-20 minutes just for an elevator. It was mentioned by everyone who rode the elevator that it's always this way and the elevators always break... Then there was a scheduled 8 hour no water, which was fine, but the elevators were also having issues at the same time. Carpets in the wall way floors look terrible as well. Black and ripped in places. The doors have a gap under them so the hallways sound like a wind tunnel. Not sure how effective AC is because of that.
The check in process seems like that could be streamlined with the security officers down stairs holding the key and parking pass. Since the building has half the concrete ripped up in front there is an issue if you leave your car downstairs and have to run up to grab the key/parking pass because the elevator takes so long to get into. People were literally running in front of people to jump in....The location is the best part and the roo was fine, i was clean, had a ok view, and the Internet was fast enough to have 2 people working remotely all day. So that was the positives.

The apartment was comfortable and in a great location; close to beach and diamond head, great view of the mountain, and next to zoo. The hallways had a smell and carpeting in hallway of complex is in need of cleaning or replacement.

Aloha! My stay was so wonderful. The hotel lived up to its listing. The only hiccup was exiting instructions. I was told to leave the parking placard in the room. Which caused confusion with parking attendant. No big deal. But exiting instructions should be clearer. Other than that. Mahalo for having me.

Free parking, no frills, easy access and check-in. Unit/building is a little older but everything works as new. Unit was clean, bed very comfy, AC worked great... The power was out for a couple hours and host was very attentive, it was in the middle of the night, so not too big of a deal. Would book again as we travel to Waikiki at least once a year.

Just want to start off by saying the view was incredible. Very clean, spacious, we had easy access to so many things. Parking was simple didn’t have to worry about paying for parking. Over it’s a great place to stay. Definitely retuning back here on our next trip.

Great location, 1.5 blocks to the beach. Amazing view of the mountains. Unit was clean & well maintained. Bed was comfortable. The pull out was stiff. Kitchen has the basics but lacked some tools you might want if you cook. I recall my wife really wanting a vegetable peeler.

It was an easy check in and we were impressed with the Mountain View. Our unit was located down the hall near the laundry facilities and trash chute which made it convenient. The bed was comfortable and the AC efficient. There were sufficient linen and towels. Although we did not cook in the unit, there seemed to be sufficient supplies to do light cooking. We did not have any hand soap so had to buy our own. On our first stay we noticed the toilet did not flush well and we eventually had to plunge it to find a toilet paper holder lodged in side. Once removed the toilet worked fine.The building is in a great location away from hectic Waikiki but close enough to walk to it, the park, the beach and local restaurants. The included parking was a huge bonus. The property management was very clear on instructions before we arrived and after. We would stay here again.

This condo has a great view for sitting outside and relaxing. The location is an easy walk to the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, and beaches with break walls for the Littles. If you’re looking for an extended stay and cooking in the unit, make sure to get cooking essentials as salt and pepper are the only spices and there is no type of cooking oil or hot pads in the unit. Overall, the amenities and location are great, especially if you prefer to walk instead of driving.

View from room is great. Smells little musty . 5 minute walk to beach. Lots of shops and restaurants walking distance. If you rent a car you have to exit the parking garage first then you have to take keys and parking pass up to the room😩

I rented this unit because it was on a high floor and faced the mountains. This unit did not disappoint. You get a good view of the sunrise coming over Diamond Head.
As for the unit itself, it was clean and functional. Nothing fancy but that was fine with me.
The host was very responsive and understanding of a situation that arose while I was there.

Being a couple of blocks from the beach made it easy. The small restaurant s we used within a short walk had the best food ever with a great variety to choose. The condo on the 30rd floor was quiet with a wonderful mountainview and the balcony was perfect for morning coffee and afternoon cocktail.The condo accommodations were good with a king bed, sofa pullout, full kitchen and AC. I plan to return next Xmas.

Great place to stay. We stayed for 2 weeks and it served as a great home base. The laundry is next door. The elevators from the garage take to directly to your floor. Appreciated that the building is secure. You need a "key" to get to the elevators from the garage and also you need to register with security upon arrival. The free parking was helpful as parking can go up to $60/Day in Waikiki. We had an issue with the towel bar and shower curtain rod upon arrival. Sent an email on Sunday fully expecting someone to get back to us the following day but maintenance contacted us that day and the issue was resolved by the time we returned to the condo that evening. We have rented through Ali'i before and have always had great service. Furniture is a little dated but we mainly used the condo for sleeping and some meals so it wasn't an issue.

Everything was as advertised. The room was great and having parking was essential. It wasn't really clear from the pictures but we were glad to find that bedroom had a door, so it was insulated and quiet from the living space.
(very) Minor drawbacks
* On the first morning, we were surprised to find that there were no coffee filters. So unfortunately, we had to buy 100 of them (the smallest box) for a 5 night stay.
* The "fobs" were so small we accidentally lost them (replacement code $200). Couldn't help thinking that if they had a larger key chain, this wouldn't have happened.
* The couch is quite firm, which is to be expected because it is a sleeper.
* On two occasions it took about 10 minutes to get out of the parking garage. This was always due to other people in line ahead of us. Never figured out why it took them so long. If there's no line we just flashed the parking pass and were out in 10 seconds!

Very happy with the cleanliness of this vacation rental. Great location, walking distance to Waikiki Beach and a short drive to pick up groceries. Kitchen was stocked with the needed cooking utensils and small appliances. The king bed was very comfortable with plenty of pillows. More than enough towels for our stay. Nice mountain view from the lanai which include two chairs & a side table. The free parking was great! I would definitely stay here again!
