There is a Club with an half open Dance Floor two floors beneath the apartment. It plays music until 2am 7 days a week. The apartment was not pretty clean (especially in the bathroom) and the aircon needs an upgrade. We left the apartment after one night (instead of 8 nights). Despite this hassle we had to pay, for the one night fee, the cleaning and the VRBO / FeWo-Fee.

The property was welcoming, clean and tidy. Exactly as described. Position position position!! The views from the roof top were fantastic along with the ice machine and seating.
The room was as described, our only real fault was the aircon needs upgrading - we purchased a fan from Walmart to get us through steamy nights, block out curtaining would add huge value in the mornings to block out the heat and sun.. cleanliness around the hotel could use some upgrading. I fell in a pot hole which lead to an extended hospital stay on returning Tom Australia. Be extra careful around the streets close to the hotel.

The location and having the balcony was great. The room just needs to be updated some.

The property was exactly as described. We had no complaints at all. The views were great. The location next to beach was perfect. Parking is a premium as it is all over Hawaii. But there is free parking along the beach. You just have to be patient. Great coffee is available next door in the hotel beside Dennys.
It was the perfect starting point for all our day trips. Whether it was koko crater climb or snorkeling at sharks cove. We had a great time. Thank you!
One minor thing. Maybe some heavy black out shades. We were up with the roosters anyway, but others might want to sleep in. And for those who have complained about the music. It didn’t bother us at all. Of course we started at 7am and didn't go to bed until 11 or so.

This is a cute condo located SO close to the beach. We really enjoyed the location - there is a fabulous bar, Hulus, in the building as well as a fast food burger place, Teddys. Even with those 2 in the building, we did not have ANY issues with noise past 10pm. Suite is compact, but cute. The 2 balconies were lovely. There is no stove or oven, but there is an electric stovetop, microwave, and mini fridge. Within walking distance to plenty of food, convenience stores, and beaches!! We will definitely be back :)

location was perfect. Views of Diamond Head, ocean and park were enjoyed from our balcony. Not so perfect was loud music floating up from bars at street level until wee hours of morning and delivery trucks arriving with noisy doors and deliveries early in the morning. Hard to sleep through that every day including Sunday. Room was not as clean or updated as it could have been but had amenities for beach going, cooking and enjoying the balcony. All in all we enjoyed our stay in Waikiki.

This is a great location! They provided beach chairs and towels and snorkel gear which was great. It could use some nicer pillows and a little updating but overall we were happy with it and where it was located. Make sure to reserve parking as we ended up having to park across the street at the zoo which was a little problematic bc 3 out of 4 of the pay to park machines didn't work.

We've stayed at various units in Waikiki Grand due to its proximity to the beach and views of the park and Diamond Head. This unit had the bonus of being slightly larger than most, which made it perfect for my spouse and I. Everything was as described - including warnings to not use high-power appliances at the same time, which was easy to manage. We had everything we needed to cook small meals and a great patio set to eat and enjoy the views. Bed was fine, more on the soft side. Having stayed in this building previously, we knew to expect noise from Hula's though I will say it was more pronounced than other units as it was directly above. Not an issue for us and the air conditioner masks a lot of it, but know the weekends are pretty lively if you are sensitive to sound.
Unit came with boogie board and 2 snorkel sets but no beach chairs or umbrella, if that matters to you.
Overall, a solid value for a view and steps to the beach.

I love the location of this condo. The beaches, shopping, restaurants and zoo are right there. (My favorite routine is heading around the corner for a Kai Coffee then watching the sunrise from the pier. Bliss.)
The view from the room of Diamond Head and the beach were a real treat. Two lanais! That is exceptional. Truly exceptional.
The room is large, the bed is comfortable. I was pretty impressed with the room.
It gets a bit loud at night as the condo is situated above a popular bar. If you close the windows and run the a/c, that will help.

Great location and fantastic view on the Diamondhead side. 180 degree view of the interior mountains, Diamondhead, and the ocean. Easy access up Kapahulu to the freeway for activities and just a short 1 block walk to the beach. We've stayed at the Grand each of our 17 visits over the past 27 years and find it very convenient. The only negative thing is that it was built in the sixties and the rooms are small by today's standards, but you don't come to Hawaii to sit in your room!

This VRBO i have stayed in a couple of times. Perfect area.... not the quietest on the front but the views are amazing. Get as high up as possible as the music from the bar will infiltrate the room until 2am. Host is super easy to communicate with. Rooms are small but clean and pleasant. Not luxury but nice! Again... cannot beat the area.

Excellent location!! Great views of Diamondhead volcano, the ocean, Waikiki Pier and the Honolulu Zoo! Close to restaurants and the main strip! Felt very safe in this location … but really you can’t beat the views for the price!! Would definitely rent this same room again if we ever come back to Hawaii! Also they have a rooftop balcony that even gives you better views!!

Great location and comfortable bed is about the only good I can say about this unit. Had to empty the air condition drain pan every day. Very noisy room. Very dated interior. There were 4 bath towels for 3 people for a 9 day stay. No hooks to hang them on so you could dry and reuse them. I had to go out and buy over the door hooks. No bed linens for the futon. We had to put a towel on it and take a blanket off of the bed so our daughter could sleep on it. I've never left a bad review for any room but this room is awful. I think the owner could spend a few hundred bucks and really update this unit to make it comfortable. It is a shame that this property is taking up such a beautiful spot in Waikiki. We tried to tell ourself that we won't be in the room much, which we weren't but when we were it was not pleasant. Never want to stay here again

Property in great location very close to beach. Nice view of diamond head and ocean. Easy to get free parking on street. You can easily walk to many restraunts and shopping. Only issue we had was Ac could not keep up and was hot in room , outside temp was probably 87 to 89 degrees every day. Also minor problem the tolliet sometimes would not stop running and you had to take lid off and push float down.

Loved the location! Quaint room overlooking the Honolulu Zoo. The rental personnel were very friendly, and the check in process was a breeze. The bed and futon were comfy, but the room overall needs to he upgraded. We found the air conditioner to be full of mold, along with the vent in the bathroom. The air conditioning leaked all over one of the balconies, so you couldn't sit out there. Both balcony doors need to be greased or replaced. Very hard to open. The toilet constantly ran after you flushed it. Had to jiggle the handle to make it stop. Overall, a comfy room for the price. I probably wouldn't rent again, unless updates were done.

the room was not like the picture online , the balcony door would barely open it had about 2 inches of water on the floor outside so we couldn't sit out anyway, room was filthy I took pics and would like to post them but can't, toilet run constantly the door jam in the bathroom was dirty! the floors were dirty! and I was charged a cleaning fee that was a joke if they are paying someone to clean this room, We didn't complain because I was told this was the only available room for our week there the TV was sitting on an old basket with a wall picture flipped upside down to serve as a tv stand Ha Ha

DONT STAY HERE!!! Our room had ONE table composed essentially of a plate of glass valences on top of 3 steel beams. Today we set A SANDWICH on the table and it collapsed on my boyfriends foot leaving him swollen and bruised. Upon checking out we tried to tell the front desk and instead we were blamed for the situation and told by the OWNER OF THE COMPANY “oh well that’s never happened before we never have that problem”. It just would have been nice to have our complaint taken seriously. Hopefully this doesn’t happen to anyone else. I’ll end this review the same way I started DO NOT STAY HERE.
