We had an amazing stay in Honolulu! The location truly could not be better! Just a 2–4 minute walk to the beach, incredible food spots, and the zoo. It’s so centrally located that everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. Even a local who dropped us off couldn’t stop talking about how great the location was.The unit is inside the Waikiki Grand Hotel (go through the main entrance and they’ll get you situated at the front desk). It appears the hotel rooms were sold as condos, and it worked perfectly for what we needed. We stayed in the queen room and found it to be clean, cute, and very comfortable. The bed was super soft, which made sleeping after long beach days so nice. The shades do let it light so bring an eye cover. The pool was just okay, so we didn’t end up swimming, but that honestly didn’t matter because the beach is right there and everything else was perfect. If you’re looking for a cozy, well-located place in Waikiki that puts you right in the middle of everything at a good price, this is it. We would absolutely stay here again! Water pressure good! Hot water! Very cold ac unit! Clean! Has a fan too.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Greatly disappointed

The studio was outdated and dirty with broken window blinds (all 3 blinds were broken and inoperable!), peeling paint, mold in the shower, loudest air conditioner ever, cracked countertops, no knobs on cabinet doors and drawers makes for filthy drawers and cabinets! Floors were dirty as well. We were able to check out other rooms that were beautiful and updated. This unit has not been updated since the 80s or 90s. Only the bed was new - thankfully! We contacted the manager of this studio and it took all week for him to offer us a 10% discount. We paid good, hard earned money for this room and 10% is nothing. Taking all week to get back to us is unaccectable. He finally settled on 12% saying it was all he could do. I would not do business with this manager again. His name is Mark Howard.

Great location. Room could use an update.

Good: location, bed was comfortable; A/C was quiet; tenth-floor patio is very nice at sunset. Nice assortment of kitchen appliances. Suboptimal: Curtains inadequate at night (room was lit up by parking lot lights); needs a side table to put stuff; water pressure was marginal for showering; some electrical plugs didn't work. If owner fixes all this stuff, this place would be great.

Fun, clean and great location!

We actually loved staying at this location. Right next to a Starbucks which was great for our morning routine of having coffee in the park across the street. The ocean just across the other street - we would walk along the sand as the sun came up and the people started to come out. Dennys was a favorite midnight meal as we were off on our hours of being awake/asleep. Would stay here again!

Perfect location

Easy access to everything, I felt very safe. I was able to walk to everything and when my friends came to pick me up the zoo parking lot worked great for a pick up point with easy access off the interstate. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for an affordable place to stay. Don't expect the Hilton but worked perfect for me.

A bit surprised

The pictures on line showed a bit newer renovation. The place was a bit tired and run down. Could use some black out blinds or drapes. The blinds don’t have full closure so bright lights shone into the room at night. We asked at the front desk about beach towels. There were none included. All other sites we stayed at had them available. The manager at the front desk was so helpful to get us some. The room smelled a little musty, too. The bathroom area could do with some organization to maximize the small space. The wall next to the tub looks a bit moldy. I am not saying these things to be hyper critical. I like to help the owners to put their best service possible. Was the room adequate-definitely. Our host was also very helpful in getting parking and answering questions. I think it could just use a bit of TLC.

Waikiki Grand

We have stayed in several units. It’s more or less what we expected. Nice to have stove with oven and a little bit bigger fridge than some places have. Since we stay a month we do cook. Bed was comfortable. I like all the hooks and rods in bathroom to hang things on and drying rack was nice. However I do think the bathroom needs some updating and the kitchen cabinets a good cleaning. We added some dishes as there was a lack of bowls. All together the unit met our needs for the price and location which is the best part.

Vacation in Waikiki

Renting this property was a dream. It is cute and minimal but still has everything you need. Full kitchen, bed is comfy, AC runs great and it was very clean, especially for an older condo, it was really well maintained. Very centrally located right by waikiki beach, shops, restaurants and the zoon. But I'd honestly skip the zoo. It gets hot and half the animals are rarely out of their dens in the heat. Hotel the condo is in has a fantastic burger restaurant attached and a wonderful bar on the 2nd floor. The star of the show is the 10th floor sundeck. Spent every morning enjoying the view with my coffee and my evenings enjoying a drink and the sunset over the beach. Wonderful stay
