A great location and nice staff!

Great location, it was like the photos! And the staff was lovely!!!!

The parking was a few blocks away. The coffee spot wasn’t open and I had heard so many good reviews about it. I think they were renovating it. That being said there are a lot of breakfast places around so all good!

Loved our stay, hope to be back!

We loved our stay! The staff were always so welcoming and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and it was in a great location, we would recommend to anyone!

The parking isn’t on site, but only a 5ish minute walk, the perk is that it’s free!

Much nicer and funkier than the big chain hotels . I would recommend it to anyone.

it has a certain surf style charm

it was great. The only problem for me is that coming from Australia, using Aud$ it was heavy on my budget

Fabulous hotel with lovely staff

Clean, quiet, comfortable rooms. Cute designed hotel, nice cocktails at the bar. All the staff super friendly, helpful and welcoming, very accommodating. Central Waikiki location only a short walk to lots of places. Free parking for our hire car in nearby garage. Great hotel!!

Only thing I could have wished for was a better view as we had a view of the nearby parking garage - however we didn’t spend much time in the room so the view didn’t matter much to us!

Great hotel with a good location! Super nice staff and very very clean!

Very clean and super nice staff. Dogs allowed (we didn’t travel with dogs, but always appreciate hotels where they are allowed and still so clean 👍)

Interior seemed to has been renovated, but still quite old. It’s clean. The shower has no shower hose with a shower head (usual in Europe) which was quite not comfortable for us.

Good value compared to other hotels nearby.

Location, pool, pillows were comfortable, spacious washroom, balcony, in-house cafe and store merchandise, within walking distance to beach.

A slight smell of mildew in the rooms. Had to move from 4th floor to the 8th to a different room with less odour.

Perfect! And we’ll be returning

Decor, layout, ease of checkin and checkout, the complimentary body wash/shampoo/conditioner (great scent), the bar, restaurant. Perfect location.

Ceiling fan in living room area and would love complimentary body lotion; earlier coffee availability
