Location and staff excellent! Several problems with room. Stove top didn’t work, internet went out for a day+. No outlet in kitchen area-had to use coffee maker on night stand.

Super cozy room with all the necessities and just minutes from the beach! My wife and I absolutely loved our stay. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful and location is great!

Great stay, great location. Love talking with the host and reminiscing about the neighborhood. He went above and beyond mailing me something my daughter left behind. Would recommend and stay there again

The Waikiki Grand is an older hotel, with a bit of a tired feeling to it, but it is in a fabulous location with stores and restaurants close by. The zoo and park area is across the street and the beach is a block away. Our room was clean, quiet, with a very comfortable king sized bed. The kitchenette area was adequate, although the toaster didn't work properly. There is also no electrical outlet in the kitchen for the toaster, coffee pot, etc. We had to use the power cord bedside the bed to plug in the small appliances. The air conditioner was a bit noisy, but it was nice to have that to keep the room cool at night. There is a laundry room in the basement which we used to dry damp beach towels or do laundry. I would recommend to the manager/hosts of this unit to add a few extra coat hooks in the entry way for hats, jackets, etc., and an extra towel bar and some hooks in the bathrooms to hang up wet bathing suits and towels, etc. We were provided with beach chairs which we very much appreciated. We also booked a parking space ahead of time. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool area was ok, although there weren't many chairs and the area is under renovation. Overall we enjoyed our stay. If it were not for the location, I would give this property 3 stars, but the location bumped it up to 4. Lots of stores and restaurants close by and the best part of Waikiki Beach is a short walk away.

My advice is to print out your confirmation before checking in. I don't know if the person at the desk had a Terrible day, but he stressed me out telling me things like I had no reservation, my dog couldn't stay (I paid for 5 nights for the dog), and being argumentative and unhelpful refusing even to give me the name of the person I booked with to help me find the confirmation faster. I am the full-time caregiver to my husband and with him and a frightened dog in tow it was a nightmare.

This property was perfect for our stay and 2ithin walking distance of many things. The only thing I would say needs work is the lighting and maybe hang the tv on a wall so it can swivel.

The location for us was excellent. The overall building was very nice. The condo was sub standard. Extremely nosily air conditioner . The screen on the window was torn, so opening the window (with the birds in the area) left us uncomfortable with doing that. The picture looks fine, but we never used the hot plate. After blowing the power bar fuse a few times (which the microwave and fridge were on the same circuit) We decided that that it would be better not to use the hot plate. To use the microwave, we resorted to turning off the fridge prior to usage. The plumbing system for the kitchen sink and bathroom basin backed up (we did nothing wrong).. Hats off to the building mtc guy he did an excellent job to fix it. The room was prooly laid out. Why they have such a large table with 4 chairs for two people ...I will never know. Anyway, at the end of the day, we are on vacation and always make it a point to not complain ....because I do not want to ruin my vacation when I am there

My room was clean and tidy with all amenities I needed.. It is really close to the beach and is very convenient. We had a great time.
A couple things in the unit needs repair. Kitchen drawer was repeatedly sliding out on its own and the window screen has an existing hole.

Great location, loved it there. We stayed a month and could have used a mop for the floor.

The glossy photos posted online for this unit make it look better than it is. It was reasonably clean and fairly economical. But honesty requires that I tell you the sliding door into the toilet area did not work. The lighting throughout the unit was jury-rigged and unsatisfactory. Because of the location of the unit, passers-by would be able to look into the condo and we kept most of the curtains drawn, preferring privacy to lighting. For that matter, the electrical service was held together with power bars and extension cords. The only place to sit was either at the kitchen table or on the bed. We would have preferred comfortable upholstered chairs to the bulky table/chair set. The window air conditioning unit was satisfactory. I don't know if the rental property or the hotel provided the internet service, but it was excellent. I am not saying that you shouldn't rent this condo, but please don't expect much. I gave it three stars which may have been overly generous.

We enjoyed an awesome week in Waikiki. Location is fantastic. Amenities are all you need. Comfy bed. Noisy air conditioner and especially on weekends the bar in the hotel was loud.

I have stayed in this building many times (at least 6). There are always sacrifices to be made as it is a very old building with individual owners with some caring about making your stay comfortable, and others taking the cheap way out.
In this unit, the walls were a bit beat up, and a quick coat of paint would make you feel as if you were in at least a 3 star accommodation (that and a clean floor). The floor has not had a proper cleaning in at least 3-4 years as there is dirt affixed to the tiles (textured) all around the perimeter of the unit. The first night I set up my computer at the table and apparently my toe touched the cords all jammed into an electrical cord manifold under the table causing the plug to come out just slightly enough to kill power to the fridge. I woke up to a puddle in the unit causing me to call management and look for a water leak (as it was not discovered until later that the fridge had shut off) and we then presumed that the puddle was melted frost from the freezer....
Lighting is both inconvenient and poor. with nothing overhead to work at the table (or anywhere else). I moved a lamp to the dining table and plugged it in with around 6 other cords all going to the same outlet.
When showering in the morning, I found the tub drain was clogged, probably due to sand build up and then I asked to be moved. The rental management team was very accommodating and moved me right away. Only problem is that when I packed up to leave for Guam, I found that I had left an item in (this) unit in my haste to move to the substitute unit....
The substitute unit was at least 25% smaller, but at least it felt better....
