Great location and beautiful interior and views from this condo. Only c/o were bathtub not well cleaned at checkin. We were allotted 1 roll of paper towels and enough TP for only half the 11 days we stayed. I do expect that bare bones basics for kitchen and bathroom be included. Overall loved the place and would stay again

We stayed here for our honeymoon. The place was well stocked both in the kitchen and recreational/beach amenities, which made our stay that much easier and enjoyable. The location is great, close to Waikiki and the beach but also far enough away from the main tourist area. While we were here, there were elevator repairs so some days we waited 20 minutes for an elevator that had room for us to go down. Even if repairs are down, that should be

I was very satisfied with our week long stay at this rental. The room was clean and the location is excellent. Its about a block and half from the beach and a 10 minute walk to the international marketplace with abundant shopping and dining options. Having parking included with this rental was also very important as we never had to worry about where we would park our rental car. We plan to book this property again the next time we visit Honolulu.

Everything was as described. Walking distance to everything! We enjoyed our stay. Only recommendation would be to get a better mattress or topper.

October 2024

As advertised. Slight check-in problem with wrong door code . Host rectified the problem within 1 1/2 hrs. Note to owner - put a drainage hose on your A/C. It is a 15 min. job and will keep your balcony dry. No more complaints.

We enjoyed our staying at this condominium. The view outside the windows is breathtaking. The location is convenient and walkable to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The free parking makes easier for us to explore places in the island. I would love to stay there again when I come back to Waikīkī.

The king size bed was extremely comfortable, and the Hawaiian quilt made it look so very pretty. The kitchen had plenty enough cookware and dinnerware to easily have nice breakfast. The condo is exactly how the pictures show it to me. We were very pleased with our stay.

When we walked in we loved the view, but the bed on the right was uncomfortable. It sinks in the middle as well as the other bed, Door doesnt lock very well and furniture is dirty. but that

Pros- Fantastic location …only a 3 minute walk to a quiet part of the beach. Beautiful Views-bedroom and kitchen window beautiful sunrise over Diamond Head, front window and balcony beautiful ocean view. All Essentials were in condo and easy access to laundry, garbage and recycling. Parking-onsite parking at no extra cost. Daily parking rate in Waikiki is $45 at minimum. Cons-The interior was not clean with visible dirt in high touch areas and around windows. The bathroom ceiling had black mold next to window. This was addressed quickly once we notified the owner.

37th floor facing the mountains provided a great view. AC and fans worked. Figured out that the metal bar needed to be in a horizontal position for the ice maker to function. Unit was clean. Parking pass and key were on the kitchen table in plain site. Instructions for departure were printed and clear. Management company were very helpful and timely in answering my questions. All in all an excellent stay.

Nice condo w/ constant trade winds providing fresh air. Close to the beach and convenient urban provisions. Elevators were often terrible w/ waits from the 12th floor up to 10 min. Tub had no way to contain water so showers only. Otherwise excellent.

We appreciated having an equipped kitchen and having breakfasts “at home.” The unit is as it appears in photos and was comfortable. There are many casual places nearby to pick up food poke bowls, musubi, etc. and the beach is only a couple of blocks away. It appeared that only 3 of the 4 elevators was working and could be quite slow. There was quite a bit of noise from outside at night )traffic, early morning garbage trucks, etc)

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This hotel was comfortable for our last leg of our Hawaiian journey. Whe our daughter and granddaughter was with us, we stayed at the luxury Waikiki Beach Tower so this definitely spoiled us. However, the Waikiki Banyan could use some interior update other wise it was satisfactory.

We had a fantastic stay at this 1BR unit at the Waikiki Banyan. It was spotless and well-maintained, making it feel like a true home away from home. The check-in process was seamless, and the property manager was communicative and responsive throughout our stay. The listing was accurate, and the unit was just as described—spacious, fully equipped kitchen, and it was a huge bonus to have free parking and no resort fees. The location couldn’t have been better! It’s right in the heart of Waikiki, with easy access to the beach, restaurants, and shops. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to explore the area. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy a hassle-free stay in Waikiki!

Have not been back since Feb 2020 and it was a delight to stay in this unit/property. The view is superb, clear view of Diamond Head. Great for watching sunrises and hearing the roosters. Awesome to have laundry in the unit and the bed and sofas were so comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!!

Property, condo and parking were overall great! The condo management team was great at giving us directions, instructions and following up on questions about the condo. Unit served it's purpose without any important issues and we liked that it was closed to the beach and other businesses after a short walk. It could use some upgrading with the sofa bed, but that's pretty much it. Beds were comfortable and A/C unit worked great! We definitely would recommend!

Check in not good, damage on the ceiling and crumbled ceiling on the floor, water pooling on the floor, frying pans were not good! Too many rules at he pool!

Easy to get in and out of Waikiki. Parking was no problem. Staff was very nice in the property surroundings. Condo was clean and kitchen had everything we needed. Bathroom was spacious and plenty of room to put our toiletries away. Beach gear was very handy to have. Overall had a very nice stay! Thanks Mike

Overall the condo was very nice and had everything we needed to be mostly comfortable. The beds were a little hard, but had enough pillows to cusion my weeks stay. Ample towels, shampoo and soap to keep us clean and dry. The sunrise every morning along with beach chairs, boogie board and unbrella were a nice bonus. Only negative was fleas on the couch. We continuously got bit, and couldnt enjoy relaxation after long days of adventure.

October 2024

Definitely bright and cheery. Lots of big windows. Great location, 2 blocks from the Kuhio Beach. Minimal outdoor street noise coming through. Perfect for 1 couple, would be awkward for 2 couples. Description stated "1 bedroom (sleeps 4), separated from living room with sliding doors". There were no sliding doors for privacy. May be a tad tight for 4 people. Photos are also accurate, at time of booking. Window a/c in the living room is too noisy to use while sleeping, but the ceiling fan was great to keep us cool. It was quiet, when running at the 2nd/3rd speed. You'd have to run it on high and then bring it down. Nice touch with the 2 luggage racks, drying rack and a laundry basket. Self parking with in/out access is definitely a plus. Would recommend and definitely stay here again. Mahalo!

Really enjoyed our stay. Communication with owner was easy and response time was fast. Loved that we were only a block away from beach with many beach items we could use in the closet. Place was clean and my teen loved that the couch converted to bed. We would definitely stay here again.
