Chill vibes around the pool with Hawaiian music playing most nights. A comfortable bed and the room is large. Parking is easy on the street. We avoided the $45 valet fee. Easy walk to the beach.

Room 302a the fan on the bathroom was so noisy we showered in the dark as the fan and light are one switch. The staff don’t seem to care about the guests and ignore you when you arrive back each day. The housekeeping is every second day and when they made up our room it was a very average job. There is no elevator which is tricky staying on the 3rd floor with lots of luggage. The step up into the shower is very large and some people would struggle.

Such a great place to stay. The common area is beautiful, quiet places to sit, koi pond, and the swimming pool is small but spacious enough even at the most busiest times. Hotel may not look like it, but it’s very family friendly. Staff are helpful, even with late check ins. Great location-so close to international market place and only two blocks from the beach. Great place to stay with kids. Quiet at night. Free slushies are a nice touch!

Parking was a little difficult, hotel changed from self park to valet parking after we booked but before our stay, so it ended up being a bit more pricey than we had expected. However, we never had to wait long for the car to be brought around.

Location - very convenient to get buses, lots of eateries around the hotel, the International Market (a small but nice shopping centre) is just across the road. Not a large complex like the other hotel resorts. This means not as many families and kids. Personally I like it not so noisy and chaotic. In room mini kitchen facilities is great. There is a microwave, a small fridge and an electric kettle. The kettle is better than those fancy coffee machines. It lets you make tea as well as coffee as long as you have a jug of hot water.

Not enough lighting in the room. No chair to sit on.

I was pleasantly surprised with our stay here! I love boutique hotels, and the pictures are accurate. It’s a little bit back from Waikiki Beach, but this worked well for us, and still a wasn’t a far walk. I was worried as other reviews stated noise was an issue; however we had a room away from the pool and had no noise issues whatsoever. Front desk was very helpful and we were able to check in very early after our flight got in in the early morning. Valet parking only, a bit expensive. However there is street parking if you can find a spot nearby, so you can check every day and check your car in and out, which we did utilize. Overall the price was quite good being in downtown Waikiki.

There was a pool party the hotel threw during our stay. We could attend, and it was 3-7 pm. As it’s small, it did take up the whole area and we weren’t interested in going, so felt a bit uncomfortable. Not the biggest deal though. The rooms are a little dated, but I expected this and certainly were not uncomfortable by any means.

Location is great really central to everything but off the Main Street so it’s secluded and quiet. All the staff are really nice and make you feel welcome immediately. Room size was great and very quiet at night. The bar is really cool looking and there’s also a speakeasy nearby. Really liked the amenities available as well as free slushies and other things in the lobby.

The pool area could do with more deck chairs, due to the buildings and trees surrounding the area it covers a lot of the place in shade so not much available to tan in. We stayed in winter though so might be better during summer. Hotel itself could do with a more modern update it looks slightly dated in places although part seems like it’s going for that look at the same time.

Tropical casual island motif with thick cushy clean lounge chairs by pool and cute island bamboo bar. Nice clean rooms with little area with sink, mini fridge little table and chairs. Plugs for phones, I like the retro style and art in rooms. Free coffee machine when it was working. Nice staff. Great location by beach near Royal Hawaiian, Duke’s, Nordstrom Rack, Ross’s.

Not much offsets this cute place but in the room it was a wired hard to figure out fan with light push button something. Got fan going but light would come on. Kept pushing to get light on but it wouldn’t come on, etc. there is a cute little area in back of pool garden with a tile hot tub grotto looking thing but the tub didn’t seem like it got hot.

Location was fantastic, pool was always clean and despite being small we never had too much trouble getting lounge chairs. The rooms were big and spacious and super comfortable, everything was clean and staff was super friendly and helpful. We found a lot of amenities and perks not even fully advertised from the hotel. The best of which being free rentals for towels beach chairs portable chargers and GoPro cameras - nothing in Waikiki is more than a 10min walk with most things being 5m or less, highly recommend this hotel & would definitely stay here again in the future.

Everything was 11/10 except for the last night we stayed was a different bartender at the pool he was very rude/arrogant and not friendly at all - purposely messed up me and my friends food order because he over heard me telling my friend how rude he was to me. The rest of the staff the entire time was the friendliest most helpful staff out of any hotel I have ever stayed at though.

The hotel is in a great location in Waikiki. It has a relaxed vibe, a bar and pool, free coffee in the morning. Staff is friendly. The pricing of the rooms is lower than others in the area. Great restaurants nearby.

The place is a bit run down, not all of the lights worked, the shower was highly uncomfortable. The parking charge of 45 USD per day I found over the top.

Location was EXCELLENT. Pool, spa and bar had a great vibe. Rooms were comfortable and spacious. Handy to have a fridge and microwave (note: not a kitchenette, but we didn't need anything more than what they provided). Had music playing at the pool (sometimes live music, sometimes a DJ, sometimes a playlist - was a great variety). Food and drinks good quality.

The Happy Hour menu online differs to what is available, and they wouldn't honour the pricing/options. The rooms are cleaned every second day, would have been nice to be every day.

I loved this hotel! The location being in the middle of everything in Waikiki was perfect. The pool, hot tub, and bar area made it feel like a tropical paradise it was so pretty! I loved the whole vibe of the hotel. The room itself was very nice, clean and had a cute balcony with view of the pool. The staff was amazing and very welcoming and was willing to help with anything I may have needed. With the prices of hotels in this area being pricey, this one was on the lower side but the whole experience exceeded my expectations.
