My wife and I wrapped up a 2-week vacation with 5 days in Honolulu. Mark's & David's studio apt. was perfect for my wife and me. The pictures were accurate and the location was ideal, midway between Ala Moana mall and the east end of Waikiki, with great access to the beach and to buses. The view on the 19th floor was great for sunrises. Kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans, glasses, cups, and other utensils, but a grocery run should be top of the list on day 1 (bus over to Don Quijote or Times). Tinted glass, and AC, kept the heat down. Overkill on the shower head, but the right amount of pressure. As a tech person, I greatly appreciated all the USB ports bedside for charging. Hotel valets were great, also. Thank you for hosting us (and for your patience).

The desk clerk was so RUDE once he found out that we were with verbo and not “Elites hotel guests”. valet parking is $50 a night, It was frustrating because we rented a car based on the conservation with the host that it was $38 for 7 days. Now I get that it might not be their fault however when we found out the price was changed over 10 years ago (valet said so) the host just ignored us. The bathroom towels were run down and I recommend getting new ones. Great location!!

The room needs a bit of upgrade. The bed linen was past its use by date. Staff at the accommodation were quick to differentiate between time share and condo guests and certainly made me as a condo stayer feel second class.

A perfect place for a quiet, relaxing vacation. Location is within walking distance of everything you need. If not, there is a bus stop a block away which opens up the rest of island. Everything was there that you need if like to do things on your own. The rest of Royal Gardens was clean and available for our use. Staff were friendly and very helpful.

Although a tad older looking, I found that the condo was just the right size and had all the amenities I needed. I had an issue getting in with my code, so I did have to call/message the host. The view was awesome and the morning sunrises (although behind a bldg) were pretty spectacular. If I leaned out on the balcony looking towards the ocean, I could see the fireworks at night (wknd only). It was in the perfect spot for a quick pickup, get to freeways and all the things I wanted to do. Free parking was sometimes a challenge but my son (who I was visiting) could usually find something open on the ala wai canal. We were able to walk to Waikiki, grocery and the Internatuonal marketplace. Plenty of spots to eat if you didn’t want to cook. A little pricier in Waikiki.

We spent 9 nights in Waikiki in this unit. The unit is exactly as advertised. It is a clean, comfortable and well equipped studio. The host is responsive and friendly. It is in a quality building with fast elevators and a friendly staff. I ran daily along the canal and walked to the beach morning, noon and night (for fireworks).

Good location- a short walk to the beaches, restaurants and bus routes. The room was clean and as pictured. The issue with check- in was the door code was not updated, so we had to call to get a temporary code to get in the room, and someone arrived soon after to update the door code.

Easy check-in (just don’t forget to recheck your booking confirmation for entry code). Hosts were easily reachable and any special requests were promptly addressed. Didn’t use the pool and gym, but having access to free laundry facilities (just provide your detergent) was sooo convenient. Just be prepared to wait for availability in peak times. location was central to many testauranst, beaches and mall.

I enjoyed the view! It was nice and clean and Mark was willing to respond to messages quickly and offered assistance if needed. Everything I needed for a week's stay.

as it turned out, all the things we wanted to do were a short walk straight down to the beach. it put us at the north end of waikiki at the army museum t fort dubussey, happy hour mai tais and corn chowder at monkeypod, fireworks in front of barefoot bar near by the hilton hawaiian village, hula dancing at the outdoor park in front of wyland gallery. walking w a cane i was able to do it all. took "the bus" for pearl harbor and iloloni palace, diamondhead, ect. easy! fell in love with " the cream pot" for breakfast!

Property was good for what I needed it for, visiting my mom at Arcadia - especially for the price. The condo was convenient and within walking distance to all the places I needed to be. It had all the amenities needed for my stay. Building is an older building, but in very good condition. Would definitely stay here again! I used the valet parking for one night, the rest of the time, I Uber'd or walked.

It was lovely staying at this property. We loved that there was a good kitchen to make the odd meal. We had breakfast in everyday. Great location. Close enough to walk everywhere - yet far enough away to get some peace and quiet.
Bed was very comfortable.
Loved it

I was disapointed with overall old fashioned and outdated appearance of apartment/studio. Pictures did not reflect what it was in reality. Even though it was clean property
Was outdated. Bed was so small and in bad condition. No balcony to speak of. Tv was definetely a challenge. So hard to navigate . Whole place needs to be updated
Unfortunately would not stay there again

The property is exactly as described. We had a wonderful stay; it was comfortable, clean, quiet, and had many useful features including access to laundry facilities. It is also well located: close to shops etc., but has the benefit of being on a quieter side-street. We would not hesitate to recommend this property.

This was my first time staying in a VRBO property in Hawaii. Everything was seamless. Instructions were clear. The Royal Garden staff were helpful in getting checked in. Room was clean and low-key. Location was great if you want to be close to the action but separated enough. Everything in Waikiki is within walking distance. Enjoyed my stay.
