Royal Aloha

Royal Aloha is an older high-rise on the Ala Wai Canal at the edge of Waikiki, with lanais over the canal and mountains, food trucks across the street and a 10-20 minute walk to the beach. It suits families and drivers who want two-bedroom space and an included parking stall more than light sleepers.

What guests say

1 in 7 reviews mention kids or family

Guests love

  • Your own parking stall. Guests repeatedly call the free, secure assigned parking a real money-saver in Waikiki and a reason to rent a car for island day trips.
  • Canal and mountain views. Lanais look over the Ala Wai Canal toward the mountains, and guests enjoy watching paddlers, dragon boats and ball games on the field across the water.
  • Food trucks across the street. A food truck corner, a 7-Eleven and groceries sit steps away, and guests like being just outside the hotel crush yet still able to walk in.
  • Space for families. Two-bedroom layouts that sleep five or six make this a popular pick for families and multigenerational groups who would otherwise book two hotel rooms.

Worth knowing

  • Traffic noise from Ala Wai. The building sits on a busy road with cars, motorcycles and sirens at night; louvered windows let sound in, so guests run the AC as white noise or bring earplugs.
  • Tight parking stalls. The stalls and gate are snug - sedans and compact SUVs fit easily, while minivans and big SUVs take careful maneuvering.
  • Older building, updated units. Several guests describe the exterior and common areas as dated, even when the unit itself is nicely renovated.
  • A walk to the sand. The main beach is roughly a 15-minute walk, and a few guests note the small pool runs cool, so beach-first travelers may prefer somewhere closer.
Choosing a unit: Canal-side lanais get the mountain and paddler views guests love, but they also face the busy road below, so light sleepers on that side should plan on running the AC or bringing earplugs.

Waikiki Ocean View Condo 2BR
★★★★★ August 2026

We were 2 people; stayed 12 nights in this 2 bedroom 1 bath condo on the 10th floor facing the Ala Wai Canal. The location as advertised was on the western end of Waikiki, making it walkable to Honolulu Hilton, Fort DeRussy and the Waikiki strip. We were in town visiting family, and friends so appreciated the designated parking spot as parking spots and traffic is tight in Honolulu. The condo was well equipped with cooking supplies and beach items; beds were comfortable; appliances in working condition and the host checked in with us during the stay to ask if we were missing anything. Another plus for us was the gated security access to the building and laundry facility located on our floor for a minimal fee. We also appreciated having a lanai (balcony).If you are first timer to Waikiki, keep in mind it is a 24/7 bustling party place, so light sleepers should bring ear plugs, especially if you take advantage of Trade Winds and keep windows open. Although this unit had a working AC.

Very good location with restaurants, shopping centers, and beaches nearby. This is my second stay at this building however, a different floor and host. We really enjoyed our overall visit on this occasion.

★★★★★ August 2026

Host was excellent in communicating regarding check in, check out and other questions we had. On site, free parking was perfect. Close to shops, restaurant and freeways/highways. Nice view of the canal and mountains though road below (Ala Wai) was a bit noisy. Stand alone AC units worked well and masked traffic noise. Beach chairs and beach towels were perfect for our days at the water. Kitchen and bath well stocked. Bedrooms a bit smaller than expected but worked fine for us as we were out and about the better part of the day.

★★★★★ July 2026

The draw to us is the parking and that it sleeps six people. The parking space is tight but we managed to get the rental van in there. The place was clean and updated. The added touches (decor, comfy beds, floor plan, and interior finishes-- flooring, counters, and curtains) were excellent and made us feel like we were staying above our budget. The host provides some beach stuff to use, which is a bonus. The small outdoor table and chairs were used every day for breakfast on the lanai. We loved how we could spend time together or have downtime to ourselves. The A/C and fan in the main room made a big difference in the hot summer. We liked how it was walking distance to Hilton Hawaiian Village. It is not that close to International Marketplace and the main Waikiki Beach, but we didn't miss it that much. I consider the location to actually be superior because we are next to food trucks (!) and a running trail by the canal. It is also a few minutes to Ala Moana Mall. We would definitely book again for a vacation.

Check-in instructions were very detailed and clear. We did not have any issues finding our parking and instructions for entry of building. We were surprised with the unexpected note, welcoming my family and their accomplishments. This started off our stay making us feel part of your ohana, and glad to be back on the island.We loved that there were clean beach towels and gear (we used the snorkels for Hanauma Bay) for us to use. Check out was just as easy as checking in- clear instructions and response from the owners made it easy. Thank you!

This condo is well-positioned in Waikiki and had everything we needed for a great week. We would stay there again!

Sometimes you can just feel the love another has for what they do. It is very obvious when you walk through the door that the host loves this home and enjoys letting others enjoy the home as well. I highly recommend this condo.

Loan was very responsive and helpful. We ran into an issue with the keys, she came over to the property to help resolve the issue. I had an issue with another unit at the same property and she helped me with it too. The place was convenient to Waikiki without having to worry about the traffic of Waikiki. It was definitely a plus having parking, even though it was across the street. The place was clean. Having 2 beds in one of the room is nice too. The unit was as pictured. Food trucks, 7eleven and restaurants are nearby.
