The following executive summary is based on a comprehensive and impartial AI analysis of guest reviews. Keep in mind that all units are individually owned, and review scores among units can vary considerably.
Guests consistently praise Kaiolu Sunrise for its prime Waikiki location. It’s an easy walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants, and the building feels secure, with several reviewers noting a safe environment. Overall sentiment is that it’s a convenient, city-based home base for exploring Waikiki.
Units are described as larger than typical for the area, well furnished, and thoughtfully equipped with “home comforts,” including comfortable beds and tasteful decor. On-site amenities like the pool and a large Weber BBQ get regular use and add to the relaxed, resort-like feel without sacrificing condo convenience.
Hosts receive high marks for fast, helpful communication and quick resolution of minor issues, which reassured guests and contributed to smooth stays. The one recurring caution is potential evening traffic noise near Ala Wai Boulevard—more noticeable for street-facing units—though most guests still said they’d happily return. Travelers seeking walkable convenience and responsive hosting will likely find this a strong pick; light sleepers may want a quieter-facing unit or plan accordingly.

Well-located in the heart of Waikiki, within walking distance of everything. This unit is spacious, well equipped and comfortable in a well-maintained building. The hosts are excellent communicators and accomodated all of our needs. Thank you! The next time we're in Honolulu, we hope to be able to stay here again.

This condo was conveniently located, easy walk to beach and shopping. A bit noisy in evening due to proximity to Ala Wai Blvd. We would stay again, owners very responsive to questions.

This condo provided the essentials of like being at home, while on vacation in one of the most active places in the world. Easy to walk to the beach, nightlife, and shopping or jump on a bus to climb diamond head, snorkel, or go to the mall. The parking space allowed us to rent as needed to go to the north shore and deep sea fishing. With all these activities, we found this condo allowed us to wake up refreshed, stretch out in the heated pool , plan the days outing, and make it back for a barbecue dinner. The WIFI , hot showers, and the sun on the lanai were excellent. The washer and dryer on the same floor made us realized we over packed.
