Perfect for our family. The unit had all the essentials. There’s a great coffee shop/cafe inside the hotel that we loved. Super short walk to restaurants and beaches. We plan to stay here again.

We have stayed at the Banyan a number of times over the years. We love the location. The views for this unit are amazing. Check in was great and the unit was very clean except for one thing. There are large artifical plants on top of the upper kitchen cabinets that are incredibly dirty and dusty…..they need to be taken down. The unit over all could use updating. The floors and furniture are dated. We would stay there again.

This is a great condo! I was expecting 2 queen beds and a sleep sofa. The 2 small beds and no sofa bed meant that one of my teens had to take turns sleeping on a regular couch (not a bed). So this condo should only be advertised as sleeping 2 people. No big deal, we made do.
The view is outstanding!!! The location so close to the water and the nicest of the beaches in Waikiki are the main reasons to book here. The condo includes beach chairs, a boogie board and umbrellas, which is a nice touch. The cooler pouch on the chairs did not close (so did not work) so I would suggest bringing a cooler from home.
Our A/C broke on the second day and the property manager was very quick in getting a repair guy out within hours and it was working again when we got back to the condo. Great service!
One of the 4 elevators in our tower was not working for the entire 8 days we were there. It took FOREVER to get an elevator at peak times (10-11am). I guess the price you pay for being at the very top of the building with that gorgeous view.
One thing that was weird was how strict they are at the pool about not having floaties of any kind or size. Kind of a bummer if you have small kids. Also, the BBQ's cost $2/hour so bring your quarters. Overall, this is a great property.

The condo itself was great the dishwasher wea an especially nice feature as we ate most of our meals in the unit. The lanai door was very difficult to open or close although I called to have it looked at it really didn’t make any difference. We had stayed at the Banyan a few years ago, on our return this year we were disappointed to see how run down the building has become. The lobby furniture is looking very shabby and the elevators were consistently dirty.

Great place, great location, great view.
Gave it a 4 star as the lanai door was nearly impossible to open and shut.
We were informed our first day it was to be repaired, but it wasn’t.

Location was great. View great. Property outdated. Fire alarm went off 3 times in 5 days, once at 5 a.m. reconsider this room if with elderly, 38 flights of stairs is tough. Couldn't get water in shower to turn off, property mgr responded quickly but then we were reluctant to use it, thankfully it was the night before were leaving. Other. Small problems with the stay ... broken refrigerator door handle, ran out of toilet paper. The toilet paper was pretty frustrating, we paid a lot for the room and to have to go buy our own sucked.

The condo was easily within walking distance to the beach, many restaurants, and shopping. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend this rental.

The location is great. Two blocks back from the Waikiki main strip so your close to everything but away from the noise and crowds. There were beach chairs and an umbrella and beach towels for us to use which is great since we obviously couldn’t bring those items from home. The condo is an older unit but very well maintained and clean. Being on the top floor yuu might think that get an elevator would be a problem, but it wasn’t. We rarely waited for one. We would rent here again.

This penthouse unit is very cozy, clean, and spacious with a beautiful partial view of the ocean and Diamond Head. It’s located just 2 blocks from the beach and the main Kalakaua Road where all the shops and restaurants are. It’s just minutes from the highway to both the beautiful windward side of the island and the airport. Very convenient location, beautiful place to stay, it just makes us feel like home. A full equipped kitchen is a big plus. We cooked and had dinner in the dining area looking out the ocean. Would definitely stay here again our next trip.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the Waikiki banyan. It was our third time at this property (1st at this condo).
Pros:
Amazing view and location
Easy check in process
Can’t beat the free parking
Super clean condo
Kitchen is well equipped
Great variety of beach supplies
Ample seating for a family of 4
Cons:
The mattresses and pillows are old and need replacing
Couches are comfortable but stained with years of grime
Toilet is on it’s last legs
Frying pans need replacing
Overall, our family of 4 had an amazing time and would book this condo again if the mattresses are replaced with ones that are more comfortable.

My family visited O’ahu recently and chose to stay in Honolulu because it’s central to everything. We chose this condo because it looked nice and had a separate bedroom, including 2 very comfortable double beds. We had a toddler with us so having a separate bedroom and a kitchen was very important to us. The first thing that impressed me was how easy it was to get in touch with Byron. He answered almost immediately my questions about entry and the parking details. The company itself provided us with a lot of pertinent information prior and after our stay. Honestly, the customer service was top notch.The second thing that impressed me was the cleanliness of the condo. As a cleaner/sanitizer by profession, I have an eagle eye for crumbs, grime, and even rust or soap scum around fixtures. The condo was very clean and surpassed my expectations. We were a little concerned about the balcony because we were afraid it would be unsafe for the baby to be out there with us. Thankfully, his head didn’t fit through the bars and the fence was too tall for all but the more determined and tallest child and only unsupervised, which the baby never was. The only negative about it is there was quite a bit of bird poop on the ground. Although there were 2 flatscreens, we never turned them on. We were on vacation (in HAWAII, woo hoooo!) after all and we’re either out doing things or exhausted and ready for bed by the time we returned. The ocean view was amazing. We could see almost all the way east. The porch faces the Southeast, so we had the benefit of seeing part of both the sunrise and sunset. We could see the surfers and boats from the porch, better with binoculars. Since we were so high up, it wasn’t noisy, except at night when a sort of call and answer took place by others down the way. Did I mention that the condo was only about a block from the beach? If I visit O’ahu again, I

We love staying at the Waikiki Banyon. It's an easy walk to Kapiolani Park, the zoo, the aquarium, grocery stores, etc. They also offer free parking, which is a huge plus. This unit was clean and on the highest floor, so it has an amazing view. The only downside was that there was no cover for the toilet tank and when I asked about it, I did not get a response. Other than that, it was great.

This condo was everything and more! First off, the 38th floor views...I mean WOW. We were on the lanai every morning and afternoon to watch the sunrise, sunset, & the waves,. Less than a 5-minute walk to Waikiki Beach. Central to shops, eateries, tourist spots. The condo itself had everything we needed for a one week stay. Kitchen was well-equipped, AC was blasting really cool air (they also had two fans), and unit also came with beach umbrellas and chairs to use. Thank you Bryon and team for the amazing stay!! We will be back for sure!

Great view. Great location. Fast elevators. Free parking was really nice. Cons: The beds are small for family of four. Says Penthouse in description but furniture and curtain have stains and are a bit dated. Windows and mirrors had swipe marks upon arrival and refrigerator door handle kept falling off. Stayed Aug 9 to Aug 20. Wish they had at least towel or sheet service at least once or twice during our stay. Had to wash towels ourselves down the hallway just to have clean towels during our entire stay. I did like how quiet the unit was. If the furniture and beds were upgraded, I’d stay again.

We decided almost as a spur of the moment back in March that for our family vacation this year we wanted to go to Hawaii. I originally booked a hotel in Waikiki but then found this property for not much more and we would have a kitchen so if we wanted to fix a pizza or something ourselves. We actually didn’t end up using anything other than the coffee maker, fridge, dishwasher and microwave but we were still glad we had it just in case. Over all the unit is a bit dated but that really didn’t bother us since we didn’t plan on being in the unit that much, I mean we were in Hawaii and wanted to soak in as much as we could! Plus everything was in working order and looks don’t necessarily concern us when on vacation. It wasn’t dirty or anything like that! We did end up getting a couple of additional fans from walmart since we are from tx and really like to keep our room super cold so the 1 fan and window unit a/c weren’t quite enough for our family. The view is awesome! Wished we would’ve been there when they were doing fireworks they would have been amazing from the lanai! The beach was only about 2 blocks away, along with shops & restaurants so it was very convenient. I did make good use out of the washer/dryer down the hall and glad it could be connected through Bluetooth and you can add funds on the acct vs having to bring quarters. We didn’t really have any issues with the unit and Byron was great! I would definitely stay here again if we ever get the chance to visit Waikiki again. Thank you all for your hospitality!!
