Everything was great. Very clean. Close to the beach. Perfect spot for 2 people.

Overall a great stay with a great location. Noisy atmosphere but as to be expected in a city. Cleanliness could have been better, and the sink sprayed every direction except down. As stated above, overall a great stay despite minor details.

I found this condo last minute 2 months before we were to leave for our vacation. Our initial booking was canceled because the owner of the condo in diamond Head chose to sell his short-term rental. The studio is very basic and you need to treat this like a hotel room. I would normally expect to see a few left over shampoos, sunscreen, toiletry items from previous renters that make it a little easier for us but the place was just like a hotel room with just the basics that you would get from a hotel. If you have that in mind before you book then you will be happy. The location is probably the best feature. You are less than 5 minute walk from the Waikiki Beach. The Waikiki market and international marketplace are just one block down the street on your way to the beach and will provide you with everything you need. The best part was that parking along the canal which the condo building is located near is free. If you're lucky enough to get one then you can save yourself a huge amount of money in parking your rental car. I only had to pay for 2 hours of parking during the two three hour periods from 8:30 to 11:30 on Mondays and Fridays that the canal does not allow parking in order to do maintenance. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here if you're on a budget and want to enjoy the Waikiki Beach area.

Good location, lots of easy walking destinations. Moldy coffe grounds in the coffee maker, microwave not working very well, shower curtain moldy. Small fridge, no cooking facilities. Comfortable bed, nice outdoor patio.

The unit is a short walk to everything in Waikiki. Beach towels and chairs are a nice bonus.

I was in town to visit my son at college, this place was perfect for the trip - central location, clean, and all the basic essentials provided in the room. Very close to Waikiki Market to buy grocery, food and drink items.

The room was excellent, with everything that you need for a comfortable stay.
The only hiccup, is that since this is a privately owned unit in the hotel, parking can be problematic. You need to check daily at 4:00 pm if parking is available as a non-hotel guest for that night. This means that you either need to plan your day around being back at the property for 4:00 pm, where parking isn't even a guarantee, or you need to park off-site.
We found the Hyatt Centric parking structure to be the easiest to get in to, at a cost of $45 a night, and only about a 5 minute walk from the property.

We enjoyed our stay at the Aloha Surf Hotel. Older but well maintained. A bit noisy at night in the city. In the middle of everything for tourists.

My stay in the apartment was 4 1/2 months, I lived in the apartment during my studies. The apartment was very clean. The size of the apartment was perfect for me alone. The apartment is very well equipped, from dishes to towels, to vacuum cleaner, everything is available. The building itself offers a washing machine and dryer on each floor, these need coins. Parking spaces are also available. The location of the property is more than central, within a short walk to the beach, the bus stop can be reached within a minute. There are plenty of shopping facilities. I really enjoyed my stay here, I would be happy to stay again!

Wonderful location and beautiful views! Parking is limited and not guaranteed due to space. We ended up having to park at the mall.

First off, add $40 a night for parking, that’s a fun surprise! Also we wanted to do laundry because they have a laundromat there, but we were told by the person at the front desk that we need to contact the property manager to get a key. We did, and they never got back with us. Add the creepy mirror that could be a two way mirror at the head of the bed. Made it a horrible stay.

Very Hawaiian 🌺 feeling in lobby with seating and good pool area. BBQ spot needs a light to permit cooking past 6 pm. A toaster and broom/ dust pan would complete amenities in our room. The deck door needs fixing as locking mechanism is questionable? Hotel location is perfect to access the heart of Waikiki

This studio is in Waikiki and is walking distance to everything in the neighborhood. Eating, shopping, and the beach. Parking was $40 per day

I stayed here with my family of 2 teenage boys. We cooked bfast the entire stay (5 days). The kitchen is too small to cook. There is no table to eat. But we made it work. We used the chairs in the balcony.
The location was great. It's walking distance to the beach and restaurants. We parked 4 blocks away at Waikiki Banyan ($30/day).
Mark was easy to communicate with. He replies right away.
I wanted to give this place 5 stars but the customer service at the reception was so bad. As a courtesy, we wanted to check in with the reception and just tell them we're staying at the place. But they were soooo rude, esp Vinh. He would smirk and roll his eyes on us. He made sure that we were not his priority. We inquired about parking and he said that his priority is the owner not the renter. All he needed to say was there was no available parking. He did not have to be rude.
Overall, our stay was great. Just ignore the people at the reception area. DO NOT APPROACH them at any time because they will not help.

When in Hawaii, the indoors isn't much of a priority, but if it's yours, the lanai and view here are not to be beat! A big priority for me, location, was fantastic- so much walkability (!!) to beach, shops, food, happy hours, and more! And I loved having a door code so I could leave for the beach without worrying about a key or having to have anything on me.
Only possible mark down: ac unit was at bottom of unit, and tucked into an odd little square of the room, so cold air flow (any air flow) wasn't great. But any old little fan could fix that (I didn't bother to ask since I acclimated pretty quickly). Over all, wonderful space, easy and simple everything!

Our stay here was very pleasant and comfortable. The host was fantastic and worked with me on the day of my arrival, even though I hadn't completed paperwork information. He didn't turn me away but graciously worked with me even when it was at his inconvenience. He was polite and accommodating.
The room itself is perfect for two with a cable TV, microwave and small fridge. I don't think there was any roku device which would've made my stay more pleasant but wasn't necessary.
There was a water filter(which was great) and plenty of towls, a vacuum and a broom. Not a ton of toiletries but enough if you're modest about it. There's no kitchen area so you'll have to get yourself cups(or reuse bottles), paper plates and plastic ware for eating.
The bathroom is quaint and works fine.
The view is great. You can just see the ocean to your right with a nice view of a golf course to the left.
There are plenty of stores available for most of your immediate needs within 2 mins of walking.
The nightlife gets a bit loud, especially the cars or early morning garbage trucks. I definitely recommend bringing ear plugs, saved my life. Lol
I forgot to mention that there is indeed an air conditioner and it worked great for us.
All in all, the room was a great and reliable choice. Would book here again. Thanks for having us!

Great location - easy walk to downtown Waikiki & beaches and near public transport. Only minus: fold-out couch bed is not comfortable at all. Main bed was great. Well-suited for two people, but not three or four.

The beds were the deplorable conditions. The queen size bed had a huge dip on one side. The twin size bed had lost its frame and was declining towards the floor.
Carpet was extremely dirty.
The sliding door raddled constantly with the slightest wind.
The restroom was very dirty upon arrival.

It was fun, clean & comfortable lodging. The hotel people were polite & helpful. The instructions for the door & locks very easy to follow. We hope to return. Two suggestions, replace the old ironing board & fix the shower that runs hot & cold waterl on while showering!!

Our flight was at 5pm so we left Waikiki at 2:30pm. We wanted to leave our luggage at the lobby, but they refused to do so due to liability reasons, which was very disappointing.

This property is very close to the beach and has lots of shopping within walking distance. We had a problem with the bathroom lights, not realising that there was a dimmer on the switch. We contacted the host and they were at the property within a couple of hours.

Excellent property! The balcony provided such an amazing view of the island and the beach, and a nice area to hang out and relax especially at sunset and sunrise. Very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Huge plus for the kind size bed that was so comfy! The area was nice and safe and near basically anything you need. Only a 5 min walk to the Beach and there was plenty of restaurants and shopping to do all within walking distance as well. Would definitely book again if every coming back to Oahu and would definitely recommend for anyone coming to visit as well!!

The room slept and fit the three of us very comfortably. The location is walking distance to anything you may need, which is really nice. The attendees were very attentive to all of our needs. The amenities are nice! They provided chairs for our beach visit along with beach towels, free dvds for our viewing enjoyment, cold water for our water bottles, and a bottle opener for our Pinot! I gave the cleanliness of the room a 4. There were some elements of the room that, to us, looked untouched that should have been but nothing so bad I would recommend not being there. The refrigerator is a compact one but suited our needs as we bought groceries to prevent us from having to eat out for every meal. We rented a car and the parking garage was nice, clean and easily accessible. The laundry room was nice to have as well…we used it 2 or 3 times. I’d go back to this place in a heartbeat

The beautiful views and convenient location. I enjoyed every aspect of the condo and the management. Charmaine was great no complaints from me. I enjoyed it so much I moved into one of the available condos. They have made the definition of hospitality stand on pedestal. 5 stars 🌟. I am very happy with my first visit to the island and now I have began my new work life.

This condo was a great place to stay. It was exactly as described and there was the bonus of the use of beach towels and chairs which was handy. The only thing I would have liked was a broom so I could sweep the floor daily. Cleaning is around if you need but it’s nice not to have to ask. A hot plate also would have been nice to have but that was not in description so we new that. Everything was great and well equipped for our stay.
