First of all, the view was amazing.The room facilities and amenities are not old and I felt comfortable during my stay. It would have been great if the check-out time was 11:00.

I really enjoyed my over month long stay. The room was quite cozy and it was difficult for me to depart. I have a few recommendations to make the experience better. 1. The Security personnel working during the day was not very familiar with their duties and responsibilities regarding the unit. I constantly called Rental management of how to complete the process. 2. Update the instruction guide and instructions. The document is very outdated. 3. The bed, bathroom and kitchen was very tidy upon check in but the counter tops and entertainment area required deep cleaning. 4. Several times I was abruptly disturbed by unruly guests due to mistaken identity. Not the fault of the company just for your situation awareness. 5. Ensure your guests are fully aware of all rules and regulations...no one should be surprised of privileges or restrictions...ie gym usage. All in all I had a wonderful time and I highly recommend to anyone for sort or long term stay.

Great location, bed was comfortable and place is relatively clean. Surprised to see beach chairs were available and even a surfboard. Balcony is nice and long, not much of a beach view but the roof top where the pool is has an amazing view. Would stay there again.

Stayed while dropping off kid at UHM.
Older property but well maintained and location is ideal, away from the noise and bustle of the beach but only a 5-10 minute walk away.
Right next to Biki station and short pedal up to UHM, or $10 Uber.
Would stay again.

Location was great … walked all Waikiki locations and the car was needed to do our own family excursions. Facility parking was secure and easy to use. Clean, beds/comfy, air conditioner was noisy and leaked where the water bucket container filled and service needed to be contacted to empty—they responded when called 2-days later—my son emptied it as water flowed down from the balcony. Recommendation is to provide the information on locking the door when exiting . No instructions given. Great stay otherwise.

Spacious and very sufficient, if a little dated. Few things were a bit odd (bed in the living room sandwiches the couch such that no wall plugs are able to be used, hair dryer wasn’t in an obvious location, cutting board under the sink…), but overall good stay. Was very excited to use the fancy looking bidet, however the water functions didn’t work properly (sprayer just went straight down…)

One of the cabinets fell on my foot and to this day is still very sore and I was down for almaotn3 days not being able to do much walking on the trip. Has made going back to work very difficult. The manager didn’t care. Stains on the sheets, very limited kitchen items to make anything. The pictures of the unit make it look like it’s much bigger than it really is. The AC unit didn’t work after multiple times try to get someone to fix it. Neither one of us slept because we were sweating the entire time. The owner said they were going to send someone to fix it and never did. Miserable stay and would have liked my money back but they ignore that.

The best thing about this property is the view. It is what you are paying for and it is outstanding! The pool area, laundry room and common areas were always clean and well-maintained. There is a full-sized boogie board, beach chairs, and backpack cooler on hand on the lanai which is great. The lanai area furniture is also nice. The cafe located just off the lobby area is reasonably priced and the food is reliably good. The property is well located close to other good eating venues, (Kono’s and Marugame Udon, were among some of our favorites). Access to the beach is through the Royal Hawaiian Hotel which is just two blocks down. A bit longer hike to the beach at Fort DeRussey will provide a more relaxed beach visit but it takes 10+ minutes longer to get there. On the downside, this is a TINY, cramped, space. It is best for two people but no more. We had three in the room and it was crowded. Half of the one small closet was blocked off so only 6 or 8 items could be stored there. The A/C is noisy and the sliding door to the lanai sounds like a train is rolling through the room (there is no sliding out to enjoy the view while others are sleeping), and it needed to be repaired before we could open the door (it was repaired the next day, so management is responsive). The bed next to the window is less than a foot from the window and the 15 inches of space between the beds is tight. Another 18 inches from the other bed to seating for the "eating area", it is cramped. There is no kitchen but a small microwave, coffee maker, fridge and sink all worked. The tap water had an odd taste and never got cold, but the purified, filtered, water and ice machine available on the 6th floor around the pool area was always good. The bathroom is also tiny. The parking area is very tight and the automated ticketing system is irritating and unreliable. It was frustrating speaking with the support people at the kiosk as we tried to exit. I met others who had the same experien

Stayed for 9 nights in June 2024.
Really loved this apartment and location! The building is old, but this room is very clean, has a new fridge, nice bedroom. Walking distance to restaurants, cafes, shops and Waikiki beach. Try Kona Coffee Purveyors! We really loved the good sized balcony and the beautiful Mountain View during the day. Ocean view is only a tiny bit between buildings but better than nothing. The pool area wasn't too crowded when we were there which was great. Didn't have a chance to use the gym and car park so no comment about these facilities. Laundry is on the 6th floor, $3 for the washer, $2 for dryer. Uber to airport from this condo was $30, Uber to Diamond head was $8.00.
$3 bus ride to Ala Moana SC. The unit is not cleaned at all while you stay there. You would need to put the rubbish out every day so you don't see any insects. There was construction while we were there and I couldn't use the laundry for one morning. Pls check before you go that the ongoing construction will not interfere with your plans. The mattress are old, had stains. It would be great if the owner replace these to new ones... I bought a new sheets set and a pillow case from Target so we feel better when we use the mattress on the floor..Ok for small children. Not great for adult/teen. The two blue couches are so uncomfortable to sit on...but overall great place to stay! Check in and out was a breeze. Loved the keyless entry. We had a great time and would stay here again. Mahalo.

Overall this was a great spot. We liked having the little kitchenette to be able to cook in - saved a lot of money on eating out that way. They also had grills you could use on the pool floor - they don’t all work 100%, but they get the job done and are another way to save money on food. The view was pretty spectacular, you could see both the ocean and the mountains and the sunset every evening. The location was plenty close to Waikiki beach, maybe a 10 minute walk at most. The sofa bed is not comfortable at all, so I wouldn’t plan on sleeping on that. The king bed was very comfortable. The toilet is a little small, especially if you are a bigger person. Probably the worst part of the stay was that they scheduled water pipe maintenance while we were there, so the last day we couldn’t use the water after 8:30am. Why they scheduled maintenance when people are staying there I don’t know. But otherwise would recommend.

On the day we arrived we were given a non working code. We had to text call and email several times and finally 1 hr later we got a new code. Day 1 of our 7 day trip we had ac issues and told by building NOT to use the ac, we advised the host and was told someone would come to look into it. On day 3 we were emailing and calling and texting the host since no one had come to look at the ac. We could no longer deal with the heat that we were forced to book other accommodations and pay out of pocket again. To make things worse this was our honeymoon and we tried to be as patient as possible but the host Just stop responding last response we got from the host was on Monday day 3 of our honeymoon trip and still yet to hear from anyone. This made our honeymoon a living H*E*L*L

This place made our trip a living H*E*LL. When we arrived the code didnt work after a few calls and text messages we were provide a new code. On day 1 or a 7 day trip we were told not to use the ac as it was leaking into the downstairs unit. We called and sent text asking to be looked into. 3 full days of no ac and NO ONE coming to review the ac issue we were forced to stay in different location and worst part they stopped responding overall. No one everr returned a cal or a text . DO NOT BOOK HERE. OH YEAH WERE OUT OUR ENTIRE STAY AND HAD TO PAY FOR OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS

Reviewer Comments:
Wouldn't give the unit more than 3 stars at best. The only things that were nice about the unit was the view from the balcony and the location. Some of the most notable flaws were the following: 1) bathroom door doesn't open all the way as it hits the toilet seat, 2) only one out of the two stove top burners actually turned on, but heating a pan still took forever using the one that powered on, 3) the shower always had a constant drip from the faucet, 4) the shower floor would creak/pop while walking on it, 5) the floor molding that was used around the base of the tub was both tacky and constantly wet, 6) the AC unit would pool water on the balcony. If you NEED a place to stay in Waikiki and this is the only place available, it will do. However, if you are looking for a high quality apartment, you may be better off paying a little more for something nicer.

We rented this particular room for 8 days. It was in a terrific location, with a perfect view. The room is not as updated as the pictures show. No throw pillows on the bed, and for sure could use a facelift. Dresser/desk all chipped/weathered, bathroom tub and shower head very worn, but very reasonably priced since we were mostly there to sleep and shower. The sheets were clean and the amenities were fine. The pool and hot tube were nice, and the general store was super convenient on the 6th floor. All in all, no regrets and would stay here again. Walking distance to all things, and Starbucks a block away. We really enjoyed our first visit to Hawaii! Thank you!

Pros: Superb location. From the balcony you can see the city, the ocean, the canal, and the mountains. It was beautiful. Check-in and check-out instructions were very clear. The people at the front desks were very helpful and kind. I felt very safe and I had everything I needed for a great vacation.
Cons: The only real complaint I have is that some of the upholstery and linens were stained (the couch had a few light stains on it, the sheets had black marks on them that looked like burn marks or damage from an old dryer, and the shower curtain had a giant bleach stain on it). These complaints however, did not disrupt my fun in the sun by any means. The view from the balcony annd the location overshadowed any negatives.

We found the condo nice and clean. The windows of the sleeping room are no real windows, but plastic lamellas, meaning the noise from outside is pretty loud and as Waikiki is a very noisy neighborhood, I needed to use earplugs for sleeping. The kitchen has all you need besides spices. The pool area and fitness were nice and clean.
