We were so fortunate to secure this lovely penthouse apartment for our family reunion. The accommodation was as shown in the images and beds were cosy and rooms were very quiet. The building is very secure and access to the apartment was seamless. We had all the necessary equipment and we able to prepare great meals and share these with family. Minor maintenance is required but overall, I would highly recommend the apartment, the location and the views to any future guest.

We arrived at night with all the curtains shut. In the morning, I opened them to bring a floor to ceiling view of the ocean in one direction, and the mountains in the other. Only downside to this wonderful place, which had all we needed, is the noise, which even at 29 stories up is still loud- traffic, construction, sirens, and the TV from the neighbors. The owner was responsive to all our equestions.

Small unit with a large balcony and a decent view. It is a good location within walking distance of the beach, a grocery store and restaurants. It was comfortable.
We felt the unit was a bit lacking in that there were no paper towels, no salt and pepper or coffee filters other than a very few that were the wrong size.

Our second stay at this location. It’s a great location, just a block from the beach and has a lovely pool oasis. The furniture is definitely worn. But it was still comfortable. Just wish there had been chairs on the balcony with this unit. Would book there again if Waikīkī is my destination.

This was a great spot for those looking for a quick walk to Waikiki Beach and all the shops along Kuhio Ave. Having the kitchenette helped a lot and there was plenty of room for 3 people. Host was also very quick to respond to questions. Thank you!

10泊お世話になりました。立地がよく、バス停も近いので便利。26階で横から海が見えます。一番のお気に入りは朝焼けが見えるので、毎日早起きして見ていました。設備は古く感じましたが、許容範囲です。値段を考えるとコスパがよいと思います。シャワーが固定式でないのはありがたかったのですが、お湯の勢いが弱かったのが唯一残念でした。コインランドリーや屋上のプールなども利用でき、長期滞在でゆっくり過ごす事ができたので満足しています。

This was a great little unit. A smaller studio room but 3 small balconies helped make it bright and breezy. Beach chairs, beach umbrellas and boogey boards all included so very nice. Great location.
The Bamboo Hotel courtyard is quite lovely- an oasis in the middle of the concrete buildings. Pool, hottub and restaurant. Reception was lovely.
Thank you.

The property has a great view and is within walking distance of plenty of places to eat and the beach. It is right in the middle of the city so be prepared for less Hawai’i and more LA but it’s only a 20-30 min drive to jungles and less packed beaches. And it’s nice to have some night life. There’s a 5 star restaurant right in the property that’s amazing and a very popular Poke place across the street and is worth the wait. All and all great time.

We had a wonderful stay! The location was ideal, with the convenience of walking to the beach, and the pictures online matched the reality perfectly. We especially enjoyed the ocean view from our room. While the water pressure in the shower could be stronger and an extra set of beach towels would have been nice, these were minor issues. Overall, we highly recommend this place and would happily stay here again!"

The property had magnificent views. Easy access to beach and numerous eating spots and shopping. In addition to the beach, we enjoyed the salt water pool. One downside is only one shower and a single toilet area a for 4 adults. However since we were all family it worked fine. Dining area got very warm in afternoon due to no door covering on patio door. I would rate 5 star and would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed and loved staying in this property! We appreciate the constant communication with the property manager. We loved getting acai bowls down the street, coffee at Kona Purveyors, poke right across the street, musubi downstairs, and korean food truck next door. The beach is only a few mins walk. The condo is very spacious and clean. We only have 2 complaints but did not deduct any stars: there was a musty strong smell that lingered for 2 days and they were doing construction on the lanai. We would definitely stay in this property again.

Reviewer Comments:
My wife and I reserved this rental based on the previous reviews and pictures of the interior. Immediately upon entering, it was clear that the pictures were incredibly misleading, as well as half of the furniture was not even in the room. There was sand (it's Hawaii, I know) on the floor in the entrance as well as a collection of coffee creamers/napkins/sugars behind the entertainment stand. There were two surge protectors, one in the living room and one ON the bedside table. There was zero art, no clock of any kind, and zero soap dispensers or soap trays for the bathroom. The circular plastic table in the unit creaks like it was full of cricket knees and the loveseat did not turn into a hide-a-bed as the photos showed a totally different loveseat altogether. Similarly, the bed was different and was simply a box surrounding the bedspring and the mattress was the least comfortable thing I have slept on in a few years (and I do a TON of camping).The location is very near the beach and main drag, allowing easy access by foot; but two blocks east of the nice poshness of Waikiki and more of a "rough" block by comparison. The unit is on the 31st floor, so elevator time is something obvious. Literally the only redeeming quality of the rental is the height of the room above the rest of the city, which provides a nice sliver view of the ocean. The rooftop pool was a super nice thing to have, and the hotel keeps the common areas very tidy. Which to add the hotel staff were incredibly friendly and accomidating.I can best compare this unit to the Norweigian jail units I have seen in documentaries. It is clear that the owner of this place does not care for a better renter experience. Units on the same floor had nice backsplashes and hand soap containers and simply looked lived in and nice and comfortable. Overall, I would not hope to stay in a place like this for a vacation for the price without some simple additions that would make it feel a bit m

Property was as described. It is a bit older in an older building and could maybe use a little refresh but it was clean and well-maintained. The queen bed seems smaller than standard but could just be me used to a king lol Owner/manager incredibly responsive; replaced broken beach chairs within an hour! There was a school group across the street that did a very loud and long chant 2 mornings at 7am. Not sure if that is a normal
thing. Pool ambiance is nice but hot tub is not very comfortable and temp was inconsistent. Minor issue. Decently stocked and close to everything especially the beach.

Great location for those who want easy access to Waikiki. It was easy access to the beach, shops and restaurants in Waikiki.
Free parking spot was a huge plus. Noise wasn’t an issue for us, maybe if you’re a light sleeper, but it wasn’t a big deal for us.
Note: If you need surfboard storage, check with host or property manager first if storage will be available. We had to scramble to find storage since you CANNOT bring your board in the elevator and the unit is high floor.

We had a stream less check in, keyless entry to floors, security, property owner, Steve, was fantastic, very prompt answering questions. Close to beach, restaurants and shops. I’d definitely recommend this unit. Only downside was ac but that’s not the fault of owner, he is in the process of getting new, it worked just not able to keep up with Hawaii heat. We loved our stay!

Perfect location with an amazing view! 5 mins walk from Waikiki Beach and right next to coolest street Uluniu Avenue with Moku surf, Shorefyre bar & grill, Maguro Spot for poke and the #1 Musubi Cafe. Ideal 4 people family place to stay with all necessities incl beach towels, body boards, and roof top pool. Host responded quickly and very friendly. You can easily do trips to the amazing beaches of Waimānalo, Northshore surfer heaven, and landmark Ko’olau mountain range.
We totally fell in love with Honolulu and the urban vibe of O’ahu - 5 days wasn’t enough!

We stayed here for five days and were notified less than 24 hours before our arrival about construction noise from 8 AM to 4 PM on weekdays. The communication from both the owner and property management was poor; they claimed they had sent prior notice, but I never received it. Additionally, we got a last-minute email about a water shut-off from 12 PM to 3 PM the same day. This lack of timely communication forced us to adjust our plans during our vacation, and we received no compensation or acknowledgment of our inconvenience. As a result, we won't be returning, over priced . They seem indifferent to their guests' experiences.

The property is nothing how pictures look. It is dirty, old, outdated and ugly!! Everything is outdated and old. The beds are horrible to sleep on and the air conditioning unit is horrible it’s always so hot in there even with ac on full blast. I will never book this place again. And I booked through Expedia thinking it was a hotel but it was not, it was privately owned so don’t fall for it!!

This was our 5th trip to Hawaii and Steve’s place was the perfect place to celebrate our 25th Anniversary! The place was very well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen! It was very clean & you cannot beat the view of the beach! We enjoyed our coffee and breakfast on the balcony watching the sunrise and the surfers every morning. Other guests had left beach chairs, umbrellas, beach mats etc…This came in very handy! It was close to some of our favorite restaurants & we found a few new ones close by. Steve was very responsive when I sent a message and answered all our questions. He was a fantastic host! The only drawback is the AC unit is not big enough & has a hard time keeping the place cool, especially in the bedroom. He did have 2 fans in the unit, so that helped tremendously. He is trying to get a second AC unit approved for the bedroom, so hopefully he’ll be able to get that installed. So if you want a fantastic view of the beach, with a kitchen and a very responsive host, this is the place! We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip!

We also loved the access to the rooftop pool and bbq facilities, great views of the Friday night fireworks.

We left over $150 in food and supplies in the room and they still took the cleaning fee and deposit. The condo towed our rental car and it was $207 to get it back even though we paid for parking and they had our tag number and phone numbers.

Excellent!! The only way I know to begin.
We stayed for 8 nights. The condo is great in every way and the 13th floor furnishes a great view.
* Spacious for Hawaii standards
* Convenient to beach 2 small blocks away
* Great view of Waikiki beach
* Many eateries within a few blocks
* Stocked perfectly down to soap & shampoo
* Great & quick communication
* Christeann at front desk was excellent
* Very clean!!!
* Beach paraphernalia was a huge plus
* Parking was pricey but hotel policy
We had a great stay and would stay again!! You can't go wrong with this rental.

Nice unit centrally located in downtown Waikiki.
Couldn't be better located although very noisy area due to police and paramedic sirens, motorcycles and current construction of a new building.
This corner unit is ideal for 2 adults, but we were 3 adults, one person sleeping on the sofa bed and we were confortable. Operators of the building are very friendly and attentionate and the same applies to Alohana Realty, whom reply promptly and efficiently.
Finally what is advertize is what you get.
