Easy walk to the beach and shopping. The accommodations are small but good for 2 people. We rented a car share from HUI for one day only so we did not need to use hotel parking. Uber is easy and quick to obtain.

The place was very dirty and in desperate need of upgrades. It looked like the shower tiles had been painted over, but the paint was peeling and therefore could not be cleaned. There was black/dirty soap scum all around the base of the shower. There was grime buildup all around the edge of the tiled floors and on the base boards. There were stains, watermarks, and peeling paint throughout the apartment. The drapes were old and tattered, fraying at the edges. The beds were sagging in the middle and not at all comfortable. The small sofa was dirty and extremely uncomfortable. The one good thing about the apartment was the location, but I would not recommend staying here until the place has been upgraded.

The bathroom has no ventalation, consequently it does not look well maintained. The only view is into other condos. Both the bed and couch were less than comfortable.

The property was not clean and very noisy. The apartment was in a state of disrepair. The bathroom (only) faucet sprayed everywhere when turned on. The apartment just was not what we expected. The location was fair and in walking distance to many eating establishments.
Good luck.

Located in Waikiki this location worked perfectly for our needs of needing a place to stay without resort fees since we only slept there due to our daily plans.

The room was advertised as "3 people occupancy" The other person sleeps on the sofa bed. I would say the room is ideal for two persons. The check out time was 11.AM and our flight is at 11 PM.I wish our luggages can be accomodated to be stored in the property instead of us going by cab to the main office (closes at 6 PM) to store it there.

The room was barely ok to stay for a short visit, needs some upgrades in the bathroom, and there are fraying curtains, one sad futon and with no comfortable chairs to sit. If you don't spend time in the room, the location is great, and the price is low.

My sister and I were taken back as soon as we walked in. The unit was hot, and it smelled musty. The AC unit despite being cranked all the way barely kept the unit cool enough due to being old. The curtains were ripped and didn’t keep the sunlight out. Floors were dirty and corners very very dusty. Bulb out in the bathroom. Parking is $40 a night! But we lucked out by driving every night until we found street parking nearby. We expressed our concerns but not much changed besides a light bulb. Dark, dingy and warm.

Easy check in and check out. The place is near the beach, abc store and public transpo. I would include it it my options when I come back to Waikiki.

This was a great location and the beach was about a 10-15 min walk. Only downside was parking if you have a car but parking structures and street parking are near if you really look. Other than that, it was nice and had the basics we needed to have a great stay. It was easy to get into the room with the code, water and ice machines were so helpful in the lobby, as well as the mini fridge and microwave in the room. I would stay again if I come back to Hawaii! Thank you!

Comfortable fit for 3 people, situated near the ala wai. Close to everything without being on the main strip, which can be pretty noisy at night. Overall, great stay!

Check in was simple, the room is spacious and clean and although small, the kitchenette had everything we needed to cook a simple meal. The only issue, to no fault of the property owner was one particular staff member at the desk was extremely rude, but thankfully didnt have to deal with her but once. Overall, worth every penny and thank you to our host.
May 2024
Perfect location, just a few short minutes walk to beach. Just far away enough from the loud busy beach front. Easy place to stay. Only wished AC was a little stronger since I’m easily hot but I managed ok. Thank you again Mark!

All was as per the description- nice place to stay. Front desk attendants are all very nice. Parking is challenging and since it’s close to everything it can be noisy at night, both as expected.

The kitchen and accessories are the minimum. The shelf under the tiny fridge is rotten.
The bathroom is useable but needs a complete remodel and deep clean. The floor grout is very dirty. Paint job was terrible.
I’ve stayed at a few similarly priced places in Waikiki and I understand you pay for what you get but I probably wouldn’t stay here again.

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.

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!

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

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!

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.
