Good location in Waikiki. Though parking is provided, we were able to walk to the beach, zoo, and many restaurants.

I couldn’t figure out how to turn on the heat because for a day or two I was sick and very cold. And the ac did not really cool down the room. And the ad showed 2 beds but there was only one bed

This property is in a good location and you don't really need a car unless you want to tour around (although there are tour companies that will do the driving for you). Very Walkable. The banyon is nice, but dated. Condo has pretty well everything you need. Great view of the pool and nice to sit on the lanai in the evening. The elevators though! So slow. It was not possible for us to take the stairs due to a disability. Try not to get an elevator between 10 am and noon as that is check out time. Parking is good, easy in and out. Laundry and garbage disposal right next to this unit. Corner view is nice - see Diamond Head on one side and Waikiki Beach sunsets on the other. Would stay here again.

Everything was conveniently located close to property . Beach was about a block away , parking was tight not good for suv. Room was small , but great for my husband and I .Had a small issue with bathroom toilet and host was very responsive quick to take care of issue. Only con was bed was really hard and our backs where hurting. I would definitely stay again.

Banyan is great location. Reasonably priced condo was very clean, modern renovation with great kitchen and TV. Condo conveniently close to laundry machines and garbage chute.

Other than a small, strange, non-working bidet toilet seat, the property was flawless and had a fantastic view. Communication was prompt and effective.It was just the hidden fees and the immediate lock-in of the reservation. Those two things will keep me from using VRBO for business travel ever again.

This was the 2nd time staying in this unit. We were again pleased. The location was very good and suited us well. The unit is a bit dated, but is comfortable. We appreciated the amount of towels, pool towels and linens made available for our two week stay. It would be nice if the sliding door could be shut closed. It made the air conditioner work extra hard since warm air was always coming in through the opening. There were long waits for elevators since one was being updated and was not functioning. But all in all, a great trip and we would stay there a third time!

The views were lovely and pool was a bonus as well as distance to the beach. There is free parking in the garage but we struggled to find ‘our parking spot’ only to discover there isn’t designated spots. Park anywhere. The lanai was very small and in poor condition. The WiFi didn’t work and it turned out it was unplugged! The air conditioner stopped working after 3 days and was never fixed, though we asked. We sent emails twice and it took 2 days to hear back. The couch was VERY uncomfortable! It was cheap though, in comparison to other places. The kitchen is very minimally stocked but functional though there is no actual ventilation above the stove. Stay here if you want it cheap and can be tolerant of the conditions.

Room was perfect set up for us, I traveled with my two young adult sons. We each had our own beds and some privacy. The floor wasn’t clean, had long black hair everywhere we looked. The floor basing could use a good scrubbing. The beds where nice.lots of ambulance and fire truck activity but it did not disturb us .nice view

We had a really great stay here, not only was it very clean but also super accessible and a very short walk to the beach. We were able to get out for a walk every evening with our young kids. Highly recommend!

28th floor studio apartment was a nice place to stay for 6 nights. Loved the A/C, fully stocked kitchen, free wifi and free parking. The elevators take some time and the bathroom pocket door was inoperable but the rest was fine. Partial ocean view, partial mountain and city view. Nice beds and clean overall.

Our first impression was how dirty the unit was. As soon as we walked in we could see the lack of cleaning. Between the cupboards, vents, floors, shower, and AC unit, it was noticeably dirty. It definitely needs more extensive cleaning. It was hard to relax and be comfortable with how dirty everything looked and felt. It was also very run down. The chairs on the patio they provided for us were fragile and broken when we arrived, so we had to bring the chairs from inside outside to sit on the patio and enjoy the view. The inside bar was also broken, couldn’t even be used really. The host responded to all my questions/concerns in a timely manner. Even sent up help when requested. No complaints there. The nightclub located under us really didn’t bother us at all, and we knew of it before hand. They even provided earplugs for those who need them. But with the TV on, we could hardly even tell. Overall not a terrible place to stay, it served its purpose for us. But we definitely won’t be coming back.

We had a great time! This place is amazing! It was clean, it was updated and new. Linens were nice. The view was amazing!! The only downsides but definitely not deal breakers, are the shower (open glass and can’t close in completely so it’s open aired, the water pressure and also need to turn nozzle all the way hot to just get average hot water) and the elevator rides were very long, stuffy, made stops very frequently and stuffed in elevators like a sardine! But I tell you the view from this unit are seriously to die for and the comfort of the room were so great! Definitely recommend!

My stay was great, property manager was quick to respond to any questions I had, location was just at the end of Waikiki and was easily accessible. Only downside but not the fault of the property management, the elevators were super slow and we spent a good amount of time waiting to go up or down. Overall amazing stay.

Such a perfect location. Parking was easy and included. Place was clean and exactly as described. Beds were comfortable. A folding luggage rack would be helpful as well as a charging station for the nightstand. Pool is nice, didn't have keys for sauna. Having a book describing facilities and area sights to see would help. Otherwise we had a great trip! We'll be back!

Place was simple with a great view and prime location. Lots of stuff within walking distance, but the included parking pass was awesome too as parking in the city is definitely not cheap (50/day). Had almost everything we needed for the perfect beach days (cooler, chairs, snorkel masks, only 2 beach towels though). Kitchen and bathroom/shower were clean and got lots of use during our stay. Just need to get some mattress toppers for the beds because they are super stiff - my parents actually slept on the futon instead because it seemed comfier! Overall, great place and would stay again. :)

If you are looking for somewhere reasonably priced in the Waikiki area, this is your place. We’ve stayed in this building several times (our first with this host). It’s a great location, great view with sunset, pool and hot tub for relaxing, and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked if you plan on cooking. Denny’ s is close by (walking distance). We also walked to IHOP one day. And a real plus - free parking

Walking distance to everything in Waikiki and the beach within two blocks. Parking made it easy to have a rental car and reach all sides of the island so was not confined to Waikiki. The unit was beautiful and everything was as described, and as it was in the pictures, the view from the back porch was amazing on the 32nd floor of the mountain range behind.

The condo is conveniently located. Beach is a long block away and there are shops nearby. Parking included is a big perk since there's limited parking in Waikiki. There are beach towels, chairs and umbrellas which was great. The view on the post is not the main view. You see the ocean view from the narrow galley kitchen window and not the main balcony where the view is the other condos across the street. The window was dirty in the kitchen so it's definitely not as nice as the posted picture. You can hear the main road noise and sirens even from th 14th floor.The washer/dryer room is located next door which is convenient but you can hear the machines running. They do shut them down from 11pm-8am. Overall, this condo was a nice place to stay with all the amenities needed. Just be aware it's not ocean front but it's roomy and comfortable.

Had a wonderful 6 day stay. Place was super clean and tidy, "as advertised." Check in and out was easy, free parking was a huge plus, and the Diamond Head view was amazing. Did have a problem with one of the window blinds but Alyssa the property manager was on it super quickly. All in all would recommend!

Great location, and rental company was easy to work with. The other reviews were correct when they referenced how clean the condo was. There was hair in the bathroom when we arrived. The floors definitely needed to be vaccumed and mopped. Bottom of walls needed to be washed. The AC unit LED screen was broken so we did not know the temperature. There was leaking water constantly on the patio outside, not able to sit outside. Over all good location but unsure if we would stay again.

This unit upon entry had 2 of the 3 beds broke and unusable. The doors were detached from the hardware but with my maintenance background, i reattached them. There was ointment and a paper cup under one bed. When i tried to communicate with the Aska Gateway staff they didn't care to respond in a timely manor. After many calls and emails they stopped answering my calls. There was no other accommodations due to the Honolulu Marathon. I ended up sleeping on the floor. Most of the furniture is broken or completely falling apart. I visited two other units while we were here and found that this was an isolated issue with this unit. Never again will i stay here or rent through Aska Gateway.
