The staff we very friendly and very helpful with any questions we had. The Hotel is an icon, and we absolutely love staying there. It is close to everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here, you will not regret it. Thank you for the great experience.

Location, located location. This building is a very short walk to both Waikiki Beach and Ala Moana Blvd. You can walk to many restaurants, bars, etc. Very large view of beach and ocean. Unit was clean and spacious.

Great location, close to the Ala moana shopping center, next to Hilton (many shops). The lagoon right in front easy access. Bus stop from the airport or trolly right in front. Great partial ocean view.The property is clean, well equipped, and felt safe. The owner gave quick and sincere reply to our questions. Detailed instructions were very helpful. 7 of us had a wonderful time staying at this property. We will definitely consider this owner's other properties for our coming Hawaii trips. Strongly recommended.

This place had panoramic windows with beautiful views of the city. Communication was excellent. The location was very convenient with quick 10 minute walk to the beach. Bathrooms were spacious. Having 2 lanais was nice. It has a large beautiful table for eating. Though laundry wasn’t in the unit itself, it was convenient located down the hall for 3.50 per load. The traffic was definitely loud at night due to the location, however this should be expected since it is in downtown Honolulu. To save money, we avoided the valet 45/day valet parking and parked in the Ilikai marina parking slots behind the building and walked 5 minutes to our building. Those spots charge 1/hour. The kitchen was minimally equipped with the basics and could have used a few more towels and wash cloths since there wasn’t a washing machine in the individual unit but still giving 5 stars for the cleanliness, convenience, and communication.

Great location! The condo had everything that we needed and had no issues! Amazing view of fireworks! Loved the entertainment downstairs and Dave's Ice cream! The restaurant downstairs was good and reasonable. Valet parking was definitely necessary. There was 2 ABC stores within walking distance that had everything we needed.

Amazing view! The place could use a few touch ups and there is a smell of sewage coming from the vent by the washing machine but otherwise great. The AC in the living room is also a bit loud, as is the door to the balcony.

Location, location, location! Right at Waikiki Beach with a room that offers a beautiful view of the bay, harbor, and surf. The booking process was easy, check-in was smooth, and everything about the stay made it simple to relax and enjoy the experience. The only suggestion for improvement would be more comfortable pillows. Overall, a wonderful stay in an unbeatable location.

This is a studio with a solid wall division making it a really nice 1 bedroom apartment. Super clean, updated kitchen, bathroom is great, no complaints at all. The view from the balcony is more of a side view to see the ocean but it’s still a great view, even more so for Friday fireworks. Let’s face it, if your spending to much time on the balcony your not experiencing Hawaii. We used it for enjoying a cup of coffee at sunsets and a drink capping the night. The host answered all messages immediately even late at night. We grew up on Oahu, we have family on the island still, not much room in their homes, so this was a perfect place for us to spend the holidays with family and friends.

Very pleasant stay. Parking was 45/day - valet only. The valet folks were great. Unit was clean and fresh. The extra space with the 1 bedroom was very much needed with 3 adults (2 parents and an adult child). The bed is a fold out futon but it was very comfortable. The bedroom had a full sized bed - a little small but very comfy. The kitchen was upgraded with everything you need and the bathroom shower had the best water pressure (no tub). Only con is that the shower nozzle dripped continuously.

Very nice , clean, comfortable, updated apartment. Great location for walking about Waikiki. Host had excellent communication. Enjoyed the view from the balcony. Kitchen equipped with necessary tools for light cooking. My only suggestion is to add basic spices like salt & pepper. Overall I give 5 stars

The location is great. Close to restaurants and shopping. Lots to do. The restaurant downstairs is great. We loved the balcony views over the city and looking out to ocean. Sunsets are amazing. Kitchen is great for a small family like ours. We didn’t do much cooking, but made coffee and breakfasts easy. Bedroom 1 with the twin beds is nice, although I'm not sure its comfortable for a couple bc the twins are separate from each other. Shower in Bedroom 1 is very nice. Bedroom 2 with the queen is comfortable as well. However, the bathroom for BR 2 was not clean: dirty washcloth, trash leftover and hair in the shower. A newer shower head would be great too. The couches are comfortable and there is a LOT of space...way better than a basic hotel. I strongly suggest replacing the rug in the living room. It's very dirty. Overall, my review of 4 out of 5 is based on things that are fixable- replace the rug, advertise twin beds instead of king, replace shower heads and get pictures of the showers when the staff claims it's clean.

Our recent stay at this VRBO property in Hawaii had some wonderful high points.First, the views are absolutely beautiful and made our trip truly memorable. Waking up to those sights every morning was a dream. The property also offered good amenities, providing everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We appreciated how upfront and communicative the owner was about it being their second home and wanting us to treat it as our own; it made the experience feel more personal.However, the major drawback was that the property was not very clean. While the overall experience was positive due to the location and amenities, the lack of cleanliness was a notable issue. It could have used more attention prior to our arrival.Overall, we had a lovely time and would recommend this property to others who prioritize amazing views and solid amenities and don't mind a few cleaning quirks. For the price point, we hope the cleaning service can be improved for future guests. We would consider staying here again if the cleanliness issue is addressed.

Beautiful condo. Loved having coffee on the patio every morning. It has everything you need in kitchen to make any meal you want. Close to so many beaches and fun activities and restaurants. We used the valet at the condo, excellent service. You do have to pay separately for valet. Definitely would stay here again!

The view of the Friday night fireworks from our room was absolutely incredible and ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The pools were nice and warm, and it was great having such easy access to both the beach and the Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon just a short walk from the lobby. The location is very convenient, with a quick walk to Ala Moana and the rest of Waikiki, but it still feels a little bit removed from the busiest part of the strip, which we really appreciated.Having shops and places to grab snacks and coffee right in the lobby was a big plus for our family and made everything easier. The room itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, including a kitchen setup, and worked perfectly as our home base while we explored Honolulu. Overall, highly recommend staying here and would definitely book the Ilikai again.
