Great location, 15/20 min walk from the beach, stunning view of the city But the check list for cleaning, sweeping, ect is a bit odd .. curious as to why it's a sizable amount if host is only washing 1-2 loads of laundry.

Perfect spot for our group. Views were amazing and the location was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Only negative mark is fire alarm went off twice and once at 5am. Water was also shut off for 3 hours.

Met expectations. Fine for business travel. Not luxurious. Room was clean, location was good for walking to places in Waikiki.

The property was small but adequate for our needs. Felt safe. Nice pool area. Easy walk to the beach and shopping. A great food truck area across the road. Ash, our manager, did a good job communicating with us.

The property is exactly as pictured. We had no issues and the owner communicated with us to make sure everything was good. The property is near a ton of things and we walked to ahopping, restaurants and the beach. Woudefinitely stay here again

This penthouse was a perfect stay for three fanilies. We had plenty of room for all of us to have our own rooms and bathrooms. We had the kids stay down stairs with their moms, while my mom and I had the upstairs. We had total provacy and couldnt hear a thing when they watched tv and woke up early. Perfect view from the balcony of all the cuty.

The beds are very uncomfortable, so is the new couch they don’t want you sitting on without sitting on a towel. There is no measuring cups nothing extra you have to buy oil there is a small amount, salt and pepper and that is it never stayed in a VRBO without everything that you can need without having to purchase, including no laundry soap. The bathrooms are reminiscent of a 1960s motel. The only saving grace of this penthouse is the views from every room and the location.

The owner communicated promptly and courteously. The location worked well for us. The only recommendation would be a deep cleaning and update the AC. Otherwise, good place to stay!

As a family of grandparents, a great uncle, grand daughter, daughter, son and daughter in law, we cover 75 to 11 in ages. The views were amazing and close to areas of interest. We found the host very responsive and appreciated their prompt responses and actions. Thank you

The penthouse views were great but the unit itself was rather tired what with peeling paint on bathroom ceiling and old kitchen cabinets. Needs a Reno.

![Hawaiian Monarch Hotel Condo 29th Floor]()
This condo was easy to get to from the airport with ride share, located conveniently in Honolulu for those who are willing to walk about .5-1 mile to go out, and check-in and check-out instructions were easy and clear. This condo is 0.6 miles from a slightly less crowded beach than Waikiki Beach. There are many shopping and food options within 1 mile toward the Waikiki Beach area. We easily walked between the condo and shops/restaurants/the beach multiple times each day, and frequently took ride shares for less than 5-8 (tip) when needed.We rented a car from Enterprise, from a short walk away, for our first full day to drive around the east side of the island to the North Shore. I highly recommend renting a car for one day to drive around the island if you stay in Honolulu. Parking at the condo was easy- 45 for 24 hours (other rates for other time lengths). It was also easy to take the public transportation from the condo to Pearl Harbor.The bed was as clean as a hotel's and comfortable, but the other furniture had fabric stains. A/C worked well. We did not go to the condo's affiliated pool or use the laundry. Beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel and goggle equipment provided in the closet. The host was friendly and prompt in the few communications required.

We stayed just after Christmas with our adult children. The unit has spacious bedrooms and a lovely living space, including a well appointed full kitchen. It’s a quick walk to the beach and many other amenities are close. Just be aware that although the unit was recently renovated,it is in an older building.

It's a great location. Good and shops are walking distance. Beach is as well. Room was a lot smaller than expected. Definitely get what you paid for. The sink stopper was broken and had to be removed in order to drain. Property was notified.

Larry is a great owner, he makes sure you arrive safely and keeps a clean friendly room. Would stay at any property under his supervision. Easy to get hold of if there is a problem. over all it was a good experience

![Hawaiian Monarch 16th Floor Studio Condo]()
I'm disabled, so i had to stay in my room most of the time but it ended up being a not so great experience. For the crazy amount of money they charge you, you have to take out your own trash, wash your own towels, buy your own hand soap, and dont forget to clean the coffee pot and machine (i was too disgusted to even make myself a cup of tea even AFTER i cleaned out the machine TWICE) because the staff won't.and don't look under the bed and behind the tv if you dont like dust. And i mean layers of DUST. I dont know what exactly they clc clean but it certainly isnt the entire room. I couldnt even watch TV there were so many issues with it and it was never resolved. Even thjs text box is so messed up i cant see half of what I'm typing. Theres a nice convenience store and cafe in the hotel lobby and there is a restaurant and pool, and a bunch of food trucks right outside, but it all becomes null and void when you become a hotel employee and are forced to take out your own trash, wash your towels (at least, thats what i understand from the instructions i was sent. I could be wrong), and provide your own hand soap. Oh, i forgot the constant reek of mary jane smell coming into my room every day. If i am ever back in Hawaii, I'm steering clear of this place. resolved. resolved. If you can helroom.

the condo is very small but excellent located. all is easy to reach, the beach, downtown and Chinatown. Air condition wasn't working properly so it was very sticky in the room and you don't want to open the window in 29th floor.....

![Hawaiian Monarch (HM07)]()
I’m trying to be objective. The room was as advertised, with some cautions. There is no fan, the beds are too large for the space (I kept hitting my shin on the wooden foot board when trying to walk around the bed to the bathroom), and water from the shower has caused the plastic finish to come off the side of the vanity causing it to begin to deteriorate. The main problem with this property is lack of communication. We arrived after an overnight flight and no sleep, stored our bags there, and began exploring. We came back to the hotel around 6 (you can actually rent a room at the hotel itself for cheaper than using this) and went to get the card key out of the lockbox. There was no key. Messaged the host, called the number we found for the realty management company, security called them also (they had no info on the company other than the number I had), contacted VRBO, and hours later began finally making some progress. To all of our surprise, the room had never been cleaned from the previous guest. We ended up paying for a card key and a room for the two nights it took to get the room cleaned, and moving into the original room we booked for our last night here. While the realty company did quickly reimburse us for the charges we incurred, it was a very stressful time not knowing where you were staying that night or if you need to.pack your bags. VRBO was not helpful either. Plus side-there’s a great food truck court right across the street and hotel people are super nice.

Clean unit, close to restaurants and shops. Many food trucks are located across the street. Car rentals are adjacent to the building. Best of all, the beach is a 10 minute walk! We would stay here again.

This place was so tiny we were bumping into each other. Not bad for a one night stay, just trying to get a flight out to Maui and our condo there.It cost way too much with all the extra charges. The only real bad thing was the bed, and not the comfort of it, it was comfortable, but all the things that stuck out from the bed that you don't see until you injure yourself on them!

Beautiful views. Spot was perfect for the hubs and I. We enjoyed the central location and figured out how to park on the street pretty quickly. Loved the Mountain View and canal overlook. Wonderful breeze at night when we cracked the windows. Location was great - it was easy to get to all the places and things we wanted to do. Thank you!

The location was within 10 minutes of the beach and shops. Rental included beach chairs and sun umbrella which was a very nice touch. We didn’t use the snorkel gear but it was there too. Parking was available onsite but was a little pricey for the week. But that’s just how Oahu is so hard to complain too much.

Really enjoyed our stay at Tiffany's place. Room is not too big but sufficient for a couple. We have everything we needed in the room. Location also very convenient, with a bit walk to waikiki and beach. Parking space can be booked with additional cost but much lower than hotel charge. Tiffany also very responsive to inquiry.

Reviewer Comments:
Location was nice just minutes from beach. We were on 34th floor. Views were nice of mountains, diamond head volcano and city below. We walked to the beach, shops and restaurants. I was a little disappointed on how the room looked outdated a bit. But that being said we did enjoy our time there. The room had two beds, full kitchen and pretty much all the utensils.

The view is amazing! It was easy to check in and their is a food truck area right across the street with fantastic food. The beach is within a 10 minute walk. A little smaller than it looks in the pictures but perfect for us because we only slept there.
