When I arrived the front desk clerk was not very friendly. I had to go to the 12th floor and then outside and up 2 flights of stairs that were really nasty just to get to my room that was next to the boiler room. The light in the hallway was out so if you came back at dark you had to use the light on your phone to see your door.
It was very loud and scary to be up there all by yourself as a female.
Once in the room the room was nice. But the water pressure was no extent. As someone with long hair and lots of it took for ever to rinse my hair. The balcony was nasty with no place to sit and relax. It had all the drain pipes from the whole building. So you had to be very careful where you walked if you were brave enough to step over the 2 foot wall to step over to get out to it. The beach chairs were so corroded you couldn’t fold them up.

Online it said, it was newly reno and very clean . When we arrived, the floors had not been swept or washed inside all the drawers and cupboards were very filthy. The blankets on the beds needed a good wash. They stunk the pictures were on the floor. We were very disappointed at first impressions .We were happy with the location and the facilities at the hotel.

This property is exactly what I was looking for. The view of Waikiki Beach, the city and the rain forest all in one. Completely private lanai is the best thing about this condo. I was worried that it may be a little noisy in the heartbeat of Waikiki but being 29 floors up we hardly heard anything, even with the construction of a new building next door. The streets are quite pretty early. I felt pretty safe in this area as well. Getting a hold of the property manager was easy with a prompt response. Only thing i would ask for would be an extra set of towels if you are staying for more than a week as we did. It wasn't a huge problem as there is a washer/dryer on the third floor which we utilized after the first week. They provide beach chairs, umbrellas and toys as well. This will be the only place I stay when i come back to Oahu.

It was a great place to stay. Just like the photos. It was clean and tidy. Well situated for activities and the beach. Most amenities where within walking distance like the zoo and the beach. Would highly recommend this place for anyone staying in Waikiki.

Good : Location, View and Amenities.
Bad : Air conditioner took more than 48 hrs to cool. i called up property mangement. and it was not fixed during my stay of 6 nights. So turn around time is not great. we had to resort to sleeping on the balcony.
Ugly : During checkout day , I got locked out and my key pad was not working. i called the number and left numerous msgs and urgent msgs and no one returned my calls or msg. I had to wait for cleaners to come in and let me in. Number listed on portal or their office is not monitored. No support from listing agent. If something is not working or broken you are on your own.

We stayed a total of 7 nights at this location for our vacation. The places is in the perfect spot to visit all of Waikiki by foot and easy access to the beach. It had everything you needed for longer stays and you were in walking distance for plenty of shops and food. The pictures do you do this place justice and it deserves the high rating it has. Steven also had great communication and check in on us during our stay.
10/10 would recommend and stay again

We enjoyed our stay at this unit. It was clean and made us feel very comfortable. The bed and pillows were comfortable. It’s great to open up the massive windows/sliding glass doors to fully enjoy the ocean, city and mountain views, which are breathtaking! Be prepared for city sounds into the night, but that is all part of staying in the city. The air conditioning and fan were great and the blinds worked well for darkening the room. The little kitchen has enough to work with, including a hot plate for cooking. The rooftop is fantastic! Beautiful views, pool and hot tub, lounging chairs. When Waikiki beach gets too crazy it’s nice to head up to the roof for a quieter and more private retreat. The people at Midway Vacations were great for checking in with us and communicating every step of the way. If we had a question they answered quickly. Very friendly, professional and organized. The front desk staff were also friendly and helpful. We will stay there again.

Overall we would give this property high marks! However, where some things are located, e.g., where the heck was the air conditioner! And the owners are way over directive - we will NEVER wear slippers I need better support for my feet for health issues ... they need to be less directive - and live with people wanting to or needing to wear shoes get a life!

My son and I got to spend a few days in Waikiki. Check in was a little bit of a struggle as desk clerk had a hard time finding my information and no parking garage keys were available. Rest of stay was not any trouble at all. Room was neat and clean and we enjoyed the beach chairs and boogie boards that were in the room. Would book again if the need arises

The property is in a prime position for any type of activity. Shopping and beach access are both just a few blocks away and fun food trucks are scattered throughout the neighborhood. Sitting on the lanai and relaxing while looking at the weather and enjoying the almost constant breeze from the valleys provided a great relaxing time. Lani was a responsive as one could hope for when questions arose. This is a super spot to stay.

Great location, exactly as pictured. Very clean. Fold out sofa was uncomfortable, i would only recommend it for young kids, definately not an adult. Apartment is perfect for 2 people and has everything you need. We used the beach chairs and umbrella every day so having them on a trolley to wheel to the beach was fantastic. Would definitely stay again.

Everything went well. Had issues checking in since our flight was delayed. The wrong data was initially provided so we had to rent an additional room for the night. Besides that, nice location and room.

This place was at an amazing location. We had a great view of the nearby beach as well as all of the surrounding buildings. I thought the space was fun and inviting, felt very much like our apartment at home. My only complaint was the bed. It was a very firm and I am someone who prefers a more plush bed. However, that is more a preference thing. Great overall and I appreciated the host’s responsiveness to messages.

From start to finish communication with Mayu was excellent. She gave recommendations to local places which was very helpful. Our stay here was most enjoyable and when there was a hiccup (beyond anyone’s control), she was prompt to get it handled. Our family enjoyed the vicinity to food, the beach, shopping, etc. The condo is equipped with everything you could think of and it is much appreciated!! Would definitely recommend and stay here with our family again!! Mahalo!

This was a great home base! We came to see the campus of University of Hawaii & I had some business to take care of while I was here. The location is central for access to all public transit, there’s great parking here - as I had a car for the couple of days.
The kitchen was good enough to go shopping for the week and create a home base here for meals.
The beach is a block away for an afternoon swim and relaxing - beach towels & beach chairs/stuff included.
The bed in the condo overall was super private in the evening and very open and sunny in the day time.
The air conditioning works great, the window unit keeps the entire apartment fresh and relaxing during the hotter summer.
The beds are good, the bedroom one is comfortable and relaxing. The pull out sofa is little too soft and the bars end up hindering a good nights sleep - so we ended up using the couch as a bed for my teen and that worked fine.
The patio/Lani was excellent! It was where and how we’d do meals and morning coffee. It’s another private space away from the apartment any time of day. It’s a main reason I’ll be coming back.
The shower is nice, water pressure is good and the hot water is nice…& consistent.
Overall the condo is a little dated, but clean & a good home base. That is why I gave it 4/5 stars.

This property was absolutely perfect for longer stay, we had there more than full service with 2 minutes walking distance to the beach! Big fridge, nice terrace, seats and umbrella for the bench! Jacuzzi, pool, bbq and sauna on the rooftop where you can watch sunset! Parking available in the building. Ice maker for cold drinks. Better than some resort!!!! Strongly recommended!!!

This place is in the middle of all the Waikiki action, a great location. Well stocked full kitchen but no kitchen towels!!!! When I called they said can’t do kitchen towel because it’s vacation rental. What?!! They want us to use paper towel what a waste!!! The couch upholstery could use a good washing. We didn’t want to sit on it! And the pull out mattress was gross too!! They should really get that stuff cleaned!

It was near the action including the beach, the shops, grocery store and exciting historical museums and buildings all within walking distance. And if you want to travel outside of busy areas island car rentals and other services are available as well. We drive to many different island locations. We will definitely cherish the memories we made.

Reviewer Comments:
As other reviews have mentioned, the condition of this condo is in poor condition. Some issues:1. The place smelled of mold or mildew.2. The fan in the bedroom is useless because its plugged up with dirt and dust. It was better to open the door in early evening when there are trade winds to cut down the heat. 3. Unable to close any vertical blinds in the living room or bedroom since they their position cannot be changed and many are broken or missing. Just opening the lanai door caused 2 to break. Many gaps in the blinds so unit can get quite warm.4. There are no glasses in cupboard, only 2 large plastic cups. 5. There are no beach towels and beach chairs are in very poor condition. 6. Depending on time of year, there might not be much more cost to stay in the kitchen units that are part of the hotel pool. Those units are looked after and you do get beach towels and beach chairs. During my visit, I checked the price and it was $30 a night more.7. One lanai chair's webbing is broken at the edge and catches clothes.

Condo perfect for our family of 3. Priced very well for location given older building. I especially appreciate location to beach, large windows with ocean view as well as the pool, hot tub, sauna and rooftop lounge available for our use.
Mayu, owner, was very communicative and thoughtful from start and through our stay.

I'm never the one to write reviews...but this one is needed to worn future guests. At first I was pretty happy with room when we checked in. After one night my husband and I started noticing bites on our legs and arms. After the 2nd night we had our friends that live on the island come check our room. Within 5 minutes of searching the bed, we found SO many little tiny bed bugs. We then realized that the room was not so clean afterall and there is no way they actually deep clean that room. After letting the host know, they couldn't fo anything for us other than allowing us to check out early. We wasted an entire day of our vacation washing ALL of our clothes as we didn't want to take any bugs with us. We then had to find a hotel last minute and move hotels because there was no way we were staying another night in that place! The staff lady at the front desk was super rude when we were trying to ask questions. Overall - horrible experience with this place. The host only refunded us 4 of the 8 nights that we booked when we only stayed 3 nights. I am still hoping to receive a full refund for the entire stay as it was hands down the dirtiest and unpleasant hotel stay I have ever experienced.

Walk to beach. Close to shopping and restaurants. Has a full kitchen which was nice to eat in and save money. Nice little patio. Great view from the top floor with pool, sauna and jacuzzi. The only thing was the AC didn’t cool off the bedroom, but they did have fans. Great place to stay.

This location is perfect, just t blocks away from the beach well within walking distance. If there was one negative this to say about this property is the AC unit struggled to keep the unit cool during the day when temps went up a bit, however fortunately for us during our stay we had the trade winds that helped to keep the place cool. Other than that the place was wonderful and would definitely return!!

Overall a great stay! Location is fantastic, close to the beach, shopping and many restaurants.
Hotel was great! Nice roof top pool and hottub, sauna and BBQ area. Well maintained and clean. Tons of space.
Apartment was good. Nice view. Set up with everything you need. A little dated in decor and could use some of the kitchen utensils refreshed. Would also appreciate curtains in the bedroom.
There is construction happening near by so you wake up to construction sounds of the city.
Overall we would stay again.
