The room was great but for two complete days window cleaners went back & forward through our deck to reach the front seaward side of the building. They could have gone through the conference/bar room but no they trudged past us continuously. They apologised but it wasn’t their fault they weren’t given an alternate access. Every time we had to get off our deck chairs & move the deck chairs out the way so they could get past with gear. We complained to reception asking if we could change rooms but this was not actioned. There were painters in the hall outside our door and the carpet was redone in the stair tower so we could not use it. Was like living in a construction site, When we had booked the trip to relax & chill out

Very flexible in checking in and out. In the center of Waikiki, short walk to the beach and many fine restaurants. We stayed a week before our cruise and enjoyed the place

We loved our stay here! The listing is correct that the apartment is more appropriate for a couple. We had our son stay with us on the pullout bed until his unit opened up. But it was tight! The kitchen is well stocked, but there is a step up to it that may be an issue for those who are handicapped or elderly. We had great morning sun, for those who like to drink coffee or tea on the lanai. Great views of Waikiki, the Royal Hawaiian backyard and the ocean are found there as well. One thing we really liked was the access to the pool from our room, rather than having to go around, we were able to have our own private entrance to and from the pool, fantastic! The resort has a lot going on, especially for owners, and we are, so that was an added bonus! We will be back!

Unit was clean and had many amenities. The owners even stocked the unit with appliances and things like aluminum foil to make meal prep easier. Great location…easy walk to beach and shops!

We stayed 11 days in what I would consider an ideal safe location to walk, shop, and dine. We were able to walk everywhere locally and did. We walked and dined at the Halekulani, Dukes at the Outrigger, had the best Mai tai’s at the Mai Tai Bar at the Royal Hawaiian and had Happy Hour at Ruth’s Chris Restaurant right across the street and also walked to the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel for an early dinner.

We loved our stay at this beautful updated condo. The staff at the Imperial were all very nice. We had great ocean views from our balcony as well as private entrance to pool. The rooftop lounge right next to our condo was open on Friday nights for sunsets and fireworks and the drinks and views were amazing. You really don't need a car everything is in walking distance restaurants, shopping, beaches. The condo also had beach chairs umbrellas boogie boards for the beach. We did rent a car for one day from the sheraton next door to take a drive around the island. Thank you Cindy, we would love to stay here again.

This rental was a gem. It was reasonably priced in a great location. Penthouse suite with great views of the ocean. The bed was comfortable and suite was nicely decorated. The manager Cindy was very receptive and friendly. She offered early checkin and late check out for free. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone.

First let me say, Cindy was the best host we have ever had in a VRBO rental. Very kind and she was always responsive to our questions. Second, the penthouse was perfect for my husband and I. We had coffee and cooked breakfast every morning. The kitchen is fully equipped. No need to rent a car. You can walk to grocery stores, restaurants, shopping and beach. Penthouse had everything you need for a day at the beach. Chairs, umbrella and boogie boards.The owners lounge and having your own door to the pool was a nice perk. I would definitely recommend this VRBO penthouse to our friends and family. My husband and I will be coming back.

Great location, this apartment was clean, accommodating, spacious and quiet. We would stay here again.
Hotel charges an additional $10 per night for self service amenities and use of facilities, which is very reasonable. $100 weekly rate for valet parking is also incredibly cheap in Waikiki.

We are 2 retired ladies, longtime friends. The location, the property, and its facilities, were wonderful; we had walking access to great shopping, lots of restaurants, and Waikiki Beach. The pool, adjacent to our balcony and never crowded, proved an unexpected delight: where can you take a swim, in view of the Pacific Ocean, 27 stories above the beach - in what amounts to a private pool!? The staff were extremely courteous and helpful. This unit offers the best of all vacation worlds: a full-sized, well-equipped kitchen and full residential capabilities, combined with helpful hotel services (bellmen, concierge). The view of the Pacific from the balcony, complete with surfers, outrigger canoes, and other passing ocean traffic, is spectacular. We also enjoyed watching a flock of wild parrots, who arrived every morning and appeared to be trying to nest on the building across the way.
We had 2 unfortunate issues, which have likely been fixed since: 1, the sliding door to the balcony did not lock (we reported this as soon as we realized it and were told that the hotel was already aware). However, since the unit is on the 27th floor and the balcony door to the adjacent pool is locked from the pool side, we felt any risk was minimal.
2, there are 3 "people" elevators in the hotel, only 1 of which goes to the 27th floor. That elevator was broken when we arrived and remained so for the duration of our stay (I met the repairman on the day we left as he worked on it, the repair delay having been caused by supply chain issues in obtaining parts). We both have some difficulty walking, so the flight of stairs from the 26th to the 27th floor was difficult and painful for us at times, especially after a day of unaccustomed vacation activity. Happily, when we spoke with the onsite hotel manager, Michele, she understood our situation and informed the hotel staff that we were to be escorted to 27 in the freight elevator if we asked. We tried not to abuse this kindness, and it was extremely helpful the times we did request it. The broken elevator was no one's fault and couldn't have been foreseen, but it did cause us to limit our comings and goings, or at least consider them very carefully beforehand!

We absolutely love staying at the Imperial penthouse which is why we returned. Compact, clean, and perfect for 2 people. Walk to at least 100 restaurants within a couple of blocks. Love the huge balcony and ocean view where we would have our evening happy hour! Kitchen is well-stocked with equipment and the pool area is right next door to get ice. Lots of closet and bathroom space. Even though the valet parking is $100/wk. it is worth it because parking in that area is a difficult and it is nice to just pull up and hand your car over. Cindy is very receptive and easy to work with. We will definitely be back!

This condo, Condo Manager, property staff, and Owners are all EXCEPTIONAL!
From booking to arriving, Ms. Cindy provided us with good information from Covid restrictions, to physical address, and things offered within the building.
Once in the condo, it was decorated so nicely and there was all the extras you could think of, such as utensils, clorox wipes, to soap. I really loved having clorox wipes provided. As well, the condo had items you may need to go to the beach with. That was very convenient.
Then as we put our drinks in the refrigerator, we found that the owners had left us a bottle of wine. That was so sweet and thoughtful. Ooh and yummy.
Everytime either when we were going or coming, we were graciously greeted by the front desk staff and any staff who was around cleaning or working valet. One lady, Mrs. Michelle always was around when I had questions and she was always accommodating.
We never took part in the pool, because we loved sitting on the balcony and watching the people at the beach or the clouds as they rolled along the mountains.
We really enjoyed ourselves when we were inside. My daughter has already asked if Waikiki could be her senior trip in 4 years and if we could get the same condo. I told her hopefully the Owners will still be renting their beautiful condo then.
Thank you for creating such a wonderful oasis and allowing my family access to it.
Sincerely,
The Batiste Family

Cindy’s place was wonderful! The views were gorgeous, the AC worked well and it felt spacious to work remotely for a week. Dishes were not very clean when we got there, but everything else was great!

My wife, 18 month old son and I stayed in this penthouse for a week. My wife thought it was too cheap to be true but it was perfect. Wonderful people to deal with, great friendly staff @ the Imperial, close to everything and well priced, great restaurants, terrific shopping, the beach and of course an ABC store underneath us!!
I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Don't think about it too long in case you miss out!
Early check-in (9am) was even organised for us so that our son could have a quick nap after the flight.
The friday night fireworks were amazing from the owners lounge, as was access to the pool from our penthouse lanai door! Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou, for a wonderful week.
We can't wait to be back.

We have just returned from a 9 night stay at this penthouse. It was just perfect. The bed was really comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed and more! The views were breathtaking (and we have views of Sydney Harbour at home, so we are spoilt!) The pool area is much much nicer than the photos show - and having the pool off the balcony is just so special and convenient. The apartment is right in the hub of great shopping and a 3 minute walk to the beach. ABC store in the building is great - and its open almost 24 hours. Valet staff very friendly and efficient. Dont go to Denny's - crappest food every - House with No Keys at the Hallekulani right across the road great for cocktails at sunset and an early dinner. The walk to the top of Diamond Head was great fun - but go early - ie before 9am. All in all - this was a 5 star holiday - thank you Cindy for your great service....I know I hounded you with so many questions. We will be back next year and I will tell all our friends that this is THE place to stay in Waikiki.

My wife and I LOVED this property for our Honeymoon! We had been to Waikiki, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii before and this property was beautiful and the location was spectacular! This well appointed property with a huge ocean view lanai and private access to the rooftop pool is a MUST rent for anyone looking to spend time in Waikiki. Clean, quiet, good value.
Bottom Line: If you are even considering renting this property, RENT IT! You will NOT be disappointed! Furthermore, you will be hard pressed to find a property with this space, view, furnishings and locations for the same value!

My husband and I stayed in this lovely condo for 2 weeks in March 2011. It was very easy to book, and the condo is exactly as advertised. The renovations are really nice, particularly the kitchen. We did a fair amount of cooking, and the kitchen is well stoked with everything you might need. Condo is low on noise, and has very easy access to the hotel pool.
The view from the lanai is quite nice...there are both ocean and city views, including the mountains. Nice patio furniture on the lanai. In addition, the hotel staff are friendly, and the location is wonderful. We would definitely be interested in staying here again if we ever make our way back to Honolulu!

It was my first time on Oahu and really enjoyed the property! I went down on business and took one extra day for vacation. First, you are on the penthouse... can you say much more than that? Quiet for the most part. There were a couple of weddings that took place in the unit next door. The property owns that suite. When it is not in use (during the evening), it opens to a full bar!! It was spectacular! Didn't even have to leave for an awesome evening.
Second, the pool is next door. No having to walk 5 miles and a day to the pool. Quick access to your fridge for drinks and food! The pool is quiet and a bit small (but with all the ++++ it as A-ok)
Third, the staff at the hotel were wonderful. Everyone from valet to the front desk to housekeeping. The owners and managers are very helpful and great to do business with! I would def book again! Thank you for everything!

I really do recommend this apartment. It is clean and spacious and very well appointed and the people who manage it are efficient friendly and caring.

My wife and I have just returned from spending 2 weeks in this condo and we loved every minute of it!! We arrived from australia early morning and went straight to the room...no wait!! We were pleasantly surprised that every amenity was catered for........the location is the best in waikiki-in the heart of lewers st.The condo has a "new" feel about it and will not disappoint! The best thing we personally loved about this condo is "the Owners Lounge" WOW!!! what a view...we sat outside on friday night and enjoyed a glass of wine along with the hilton fireworks....best seat in the house!!
Last but not least is a personal thank you to Cindy who looked after us every step of the way...thanks so very much!!
As I said....simply the best in waikiki!!

This place was fantastic. It lived up to all of our expectations. The pictures and descriptions are very accurate. As an added benefit, the folks at the front desk were very helpful. We left a necklace in the apartment. Housekeeping found it, turned it in, and mailed it to us! Thank You!
