Location was great. 2 blocks from beach. Good access to shops and restaurants. 37 story building and elevators were very slow. Bed was comfortable. The furniture needs updating. Our unit was on 12th floor. When doors on surrounding units slammed shut, rattling the whole unit. Traffic on H-1 is terrible.

We stayed at this condo for a week and it worked well for our needs. It was a bit older than I was expecting but everything is well cared for and clean. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in. The floor it is on is really quiet and we rarely heard anything from our neighbors. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay!

This condo was very well maintained and clean condominium.
The view from terrace was stunning and easy to go to a beach.
The condominium has swimming pool, playgrounds and BBQ facilities.
Bed was comfortable and they provided many towels and even beach goods.(sand toys, beach chair and parasol).
I liked their shampoo and conditioner.They provided many kinds kitchen tools as well so we could cook a lot while we were there.
I thought if they had salad spinner, it will be convenient.
Only problem was when I check in, provided key code was not working and we had to find out new keycode.
We could enter the room since a cleaner was still there but I had to call a management company to figure out key code.
We could solve the issue so it was not do big deal but for next renter, I recommend to update the information.
Overall, we really liked this stay.
We had a great time and made a many great memories there.
Thank you so much to let us stay your beautiful place.

Great location… 5min walk to the waikiki beach.
Great for family who wants to cook during their stay…lots of utensils, cooking pots and pans.
Comfortable and homely vibe. Decent view from the balcony. Great amenities…swiming pool, jacuzzi and many more but we didn’t tried all.
The room comes with beach chair so that was helpful.
Some things to know before you book. The AC is small compared to room size so it will never feel like below 73 degree in your room, even if you keep the ac on the whole time.
The apartment provided some tiny soap bars but for all practical purposes bring you own soap, shampoo and conditioner bottles with you. Hand soap is provided.
There were no additional basic cooking ingredients when we reached the place such as cooking oil, salt so bring your own. There is a small grocery store downstairs in the building but everything is expensive. May need to plan a visit to walmart/costco if you wanna find something cheap.

Great location, old furniture and flooring! Broken bathroom door, that they did not fix within our stay! The worst part is that they took the bathroom door away and we had to go in the bathroom with out any door on it, imagine it when you have kids and adults in the unit!
Never Back to this unit!

The property was pretty close to what it was advertised for. The space is clean and the queen beds were comfortable. There was enough utensils, dinnerware, cups, mugs, pots and pans in the kitchen. The bathroom could have used a bit of updating. The room location is nice and close to the elevators, which is a plus. The elevators themselves on the other hand, was very slow and normally very full and you would either have to squeeze into an already crowded elevator, wait for a few more to come through or use the stairs. We recommend this unit for people with families, we have 2 kids ages 9 & 12 and there was enough space for us all. It also overlooks the courtyard so I can still monitor my kids from within the unit while they are playing on the playground.

Excellent location within walking distance from loads of excellent places to eat and Waikiki Beach. Parking being included was HUGE, as other places make you pay an extra $40-50/day for this! Beautiful view from the balcony. King size bed was super comfortable, though the fold out for the kids was very uncomfortable. Thankfully they provided a bunch of extra blankets and stuff we could use as padding so the kids found it comfortable enough to sleep on. There is laundry and dryer, but only one machine per floor so it may not be available, though I guess there's nothing preventing you from using the machines on other floors. I'd stay here again!

everything was perfect on my first trip to Honolulu. The condo was exactly as the images. It was clean, the beds and the sofa bed were comfortable. The condo was equipped with all the gears we needed for a comfortable 4 nights stay. Kitchen fully loaded with plates, pots, toaster, coffee maker, coffee pods, tea, sugar, salt, pepper, oil. So thankful for the hawaiian treats. Enough pillows, towels and beach towels. So thankful for the beach chairs and umbrella for a one block trip to the wonderful beach. The chair even had a cooler pocket for your drinks. Coin laundry on the floor and we even had laundry soap to use, mini mart on the first floor for your needs : water, juice, sodas, eggs, bread. We had access to the pool, but were not interested in going when you have the wonderful beach so close. We will definitely come back

The condo was perfect for our family of 4 which included our adult/teenage kids. We had room to spread out, was great to have a full kitchen and the unit was nicely reno’d. Parking is included which was a real bonus. Location is close to beach and a bit further on one end from most of the restaurants and shops but we didn’t mind the walk, not too far though, maybe 15 min walk. Check in and out was a breeze. Would definitely stay there again!

The condo was exactly as advertised. Kitchen fully loaded and functional. Bed was super comfortable. Nice bathroom and living space. Lanai had great views of the mountains. On site parking was fantastic since we rented a car. The staff were very nice and helpful when we had questions and the building facilities and amenities were great as well. Will definitely stay here again.

If you want the bare minimum, this is the place. The photos show 2 double beds but the description says 2 single beds so read the accommodations! There are hardly any cooking utensils, plates and silverware. We had to call the property manager to complain about the beds that were falling apart, dirty condo and dirty silverware/utensils. No sheets available for 3rd person who slept on futon. Towel rack falling off of wall. I gave it one star because the property manager was very prompt about replacing all the complaints we had. I would not recommend staying in this particular place. It’s not worth the money.

Enjoyed the condo though smaller than we thought it would be. Kitchen was reasonably stovked but no dishes to cook in the oven with. No dishwasher either but was.close walkbto the beach.
September 2024
We had a wonderful time! The condo was a short walk to the beach, as a matter of fact, it was a short walk to everything…the market, to shopping, to restaurants, to coffee shops, etc. This place was perfect with amazing views and in a great location. Check-in was easy and parking was free, in the attached garage. The condo was cozy, the kitchen was well equipped, and the added bonus was everything you needed for the beach. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean. Close to the beach. It was really nice to have a parking spot; which was one of the reasons we booked here. We had good communication with the manager. We were able to check in an hour early. No dishwasher or washer/dryer. There were beach chairs and towels provided that we used. There is also a nice sized cooler on wheels available but we didn't use it.
Not related to the rental itself but ... The elevators are very slow. One did not work the whole time we were there. At times there was a line to use the elevators. Was disappointed in the pool area. They are renovating some of the facility so it was a little messy and taped off. They were painting the halls when we left.

Property and management team are great and very responsive. Only down side is the elevators, would often wait 10-15 minutes for an elevator, which can be very frustrating, especially when cold and wet from pool or beach. Renovation project noted as being complete in November, so would come back after that’s finished. No sauna or restrooms available by pool.

My friends and I stayed in August 2024 and had a great time! The property was true to the listing and it was in a good location. Communication with the property manager was very clear and efficient. If you're parking on the premises, be aware that you can park on the 5th floor but there isn't any guaranteed Tower Two entrance, as I think the door is closed after a certain time so you'll have to walk down to the 4th floor.
We were 2 blocks away from the beach, and an ABC Store a block away. We were in good walking distance from a lot of good eating places (highly recommend Maguro Spot and the Musubi Cafe!!) and shopping areas.
We were very happy with our stay and will be back!

My overall experience was very good. The condo was clean and comfortable. The garage did get crowded around the early evening, but I could always find a parking space, and the garage was very easy to navigate. Most other Waikiki hotel garages are horrible. The dishes, utensils, and cookware were clean very adequate. The range, oven, and microwave were spotless and worked perfectly. I really appreciated the coffee maker and the fact that coffee filters were provided. There was a toaster that looked very useable although I did not use it. The only issue I had was the TV in the living room. It was difficult to work even though the instructions in the condo seemed well written. I could not get local stations and basic networks. I could only receive stations that I was unfamiliar with. The TV in the bedroom was fine.

Kevin Lum is probably the best property owner I have encountered. He goes the extra mile and responds with speed to any communication. Our refrigerator wasn't working very well and when we told him that, it was replaced that day with a brand new one! Everything we needed was in the apartment and we loved the location. Will definitely stay here again.

Property is as described. Mike is a great host. Friendly, easy to communicate with, helpful. A general all around good bloke. Even left us some home grown mangoes.
Property is well equipped with everything you need including a safe which we found very useful. Tommy Bahamas beach chairs and umbrella were very useful. Only used the AC the last three nights as it was very humid. Unit works well. Plenty of storage room for clothes and shopping. There’s even a selection of books to read. We’re already thinking about when we can come back.

Place was easily accessible, room was clean, it was centrally located in Wakiki, it was a block from the beach so a 5 to 7 min walk or so. Definitely satified with the property. 5 out of 5. Would recommend and I would definitely stay at this property again.

Condo was as listed and we largely chose because of free parking. Be warned it is a busy building and long waits for crowded elevators. Very often there were very few parking places available in the 5 story garage. Not sure what time they lock the doors in garage but we frequently had to park on upper level and walk down several sets of stairs to access building on lobby level. Other than these inconveniences it was a generally nice unit and Debbie was easy to work with!

We stayed at the Banyan 4 nights. The condo was spacious enough for a family of four. The view of Diamond Head is very pretty. The location is great. We walked to the beach and restaurants. The condo is very clean and having the kitchen was fantastic. We cooked several meals and had all the supplies we needed.

We had a wonderful stay. You could smell that the condo was clean upon entering. The towels even smelled nice. Could use new pillows but everything else was fantastic. The towel rack fell down and we didn't have a tool to fix it. They sent someone over right away to fix it. Would definitely stay again. Can't beat location.

We stayed here to move our daughter in to UH at Manoa. The space was perfect for the three of us (Four would be ok also, but would have to share the two full size beds). Relatively clean, balcony , you can see the ocean between the buildings, on site mini market and coffee (I went to Starbucks next door first morning after arriving) two blocks from ocean access, tons of ABC stores right close, Safeway just up the road. Very close to great local food, ice cream, and stores. Kitchen appliances pots pans, coffee maker, toaster ETC. did not have any additional cooking condiments not a problem just FYI. We did not use the pool or BBQ's but could see the common space just below the unit from the balcony.Laundry on the same floor, reasonably priced, the app for the laundry was super easy.We plan on staying here again if available when we visit our daughter.Aska Gateway was very responsive with my questions and excellent to work with during the booking and stay.
