The property was in good shape as described with a nice Mountain View. Beaches, dining, and shopping were all within walking distance, which was very convenient. Definitely would recommend.

I would stay here again. The only drawback is the garbage trucks coming in early in the morning

Mike was very good to work with. The property was excellent. This is the 3rd year we have stayed at the Waikiki Banyan and this was by far the best unit we stayed in. Everything in the unit worked and unlike prior units the bed was even comfortable. I would highly recommend it.

The process of checking in was a snap and Taylor was a star on getting back to us. The condo is located on the floor with the pool and other amenities offered at the Waikiki Banyon which is a plus. The only thing that would have made it perfect is a little dresser of some kind in the bedroom to put some of your clothing. Plenty of towels, lots of appliances in the kitchen, and great beach things. A beautiful seven days in paradise. Mahalo Taylor

The location of the rental was nice. Walking distance to all the restaurants, shops, Waikiki beach, and Zoo. With that location comes downtown noise (the vehicle noise and homeless shouting at night made it impossible to sleep with open windows). The inside of the unit was darker and more drab than the photos with the bathroom needing a deep clean (smelled wet and stale). The furniture, bedding, and floors were well cleaned. The unit above smoked on their patio in the morning which made it unusable to us at that time. Communication from the property management was great; very informative and accurate information for the home, building, parking situation, etc.

We were here for 5 nights, we loved that we could park our car in the parking structure and that it had a washer and dryer. We kept the AC off and the windows open when we were "home" and it was awesome! I saw other reviewers complain about noise because the front door is by the pool bathrooms but we did not notice any noise (maybe because we had the windows open). It can be a bit of a wait for an elevator at peak times of the day (however, one of the four elevators were out of order during our stay). Overall, this was a very nice and convenient place to stay, and we would stay here again!

I stayed here with my mother & stepdad and we absolutely loved it! The location is seriously the best! Walking distance to EVERYTHING!! We had plans to drive around the island so we had a car rental as well. The free garage parking was definitely a plus! Getting in and out of the garage was super easy and I felt like a local driving around by the 2nd day of our trip. The place itself was exactly as shown and described! It was super clean and new and perfect for 3 adults.While we were there the pool and recreational area was still open (not under construction yet) so that was great! Getting up and down with the elevators weren’t as bad as I thought it would be (especially for staying on the 24th floor with 38 floors in total). All four elevators were working during our stay so that was great! All in all, this place was perfect and I highly recommend it!We will definitely be back! Mahalo!

This was the perfect place to stay! Convenient to everything Waikiki including the Zoo, beaches, shopping, restaurants and bus stops. The room was compact but had everything I needed including a small fridge/freezer combo and a microwave. If you stay here, make sure to check out the 10th floor balcony- the perfect viewing spot for watching sunsets and fireworks. Would definitely stay here again.

We were very happy with this condo. My wife said "finally, a bathroom with enough towel bars!" The view of Diamond Head was fantastic. The walk to the beach wasn't too far, and we walked to most of the places where we ate. And having a parking pass for the garage included was a huge plus. My only qualm was the air conditioner was loud, and if it wasn't running constantly, it would come on for only 30 seconds and turn off, then repeat. It really should be replaced with a modern unit. I'd still recommend this condo.

Place was great, super clean, close to beach and great views! Only reason I'm dinging this place is due to the smoke alarm beeping constantly, making it annoying to try and go to sleep. I give this a 4.5 for that reason. But definitely recommend this place.

This condo has everything you need for your stay. It is beautifully decorated and the bed is comfortable. The space is small but well designed. It wasn’t too cluttered but yet made us feel comfortable. It is a block away from the beach and all the restaurants and shopping you can think of. The condo is right off the elevators but yet we were not disturbed by any outside noises or neighbors. It is about a 30 minute drive from Pearl Harbor, Diamonhead and Hanauma Bay. It is an hour drive to the North Shore. Keep in mind, this is the city and there is A LOT of traffic going out and coming in. The communication was great with the property management company.

Stayed here for eight nights with my husband and two older teenagers. Each kid had their own bed which was great. Property was clean and big. They left us plenty of towels and even had shampoo, lotion and soap which I was not expecting. It was a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Highly recommend and would happily stay here again

I stayed for about 5 weeks. If I wasn't so busy with work I would have enjoyed it more. Location is pretty great, never than a short walk to delicious food, awesome shopping, and beautiful sandy beaches. I love that the room had a stacked washer and dryer, full kitchen, a small lanai to breath in some fresh air. The air conditioner works good, another important thing to me.

I would recommend this location and overall we had a really good stay. The location is convenient (close to beach, Diamond Head, restaurants, shopping), room was very clean, and the king bed was really comfortable. We were overall happy and would definitely come back. There were just a few minor things (sofa bed needs repair, toaster and phone did not work), but aside from that no major issues. I let the property manager know so hopefully those get fixed soon as that's the only reason for my lower stars. Sofa bed would not be very comfortable for most adults but it's ok for kids.

We have stayed at the Banyan many times and this was one of the nicer units - nothing fancy but very clean and comfortable and we like the mountain views. A slight problem with the TV/internet that was quickly fixed by the property manager.

Location was great to visit Waikiki Beach, Diamond Head and Pearl Harbor. All kitchen and beach amenities were provided. Parking is provided, but don't stay here if you have a larger SUV. We had a Tahoe and could barely get out the driver's door if someone was parked next to us - typical large city parking. We were awakened at 4:00 am both mornings by loud noises from the residents on the shared wall side of the condo. This went on until after 6:30am. We contacted the host the first morning. They apologized for things out of their control and said the building manager was contacted. We didn't stay the third night.

Condo was very nice. Clean. Walking distance to several places and beach. Welcoming note from the owner. Access instructions were so easy. Any questions we had were very quickly answered by the contact we had been given. Can’t say enough about the customer service. Exceptional! We’d definitely stay here again.

It was amazing! The kitchen was perfect to make our meals in and we used it every day. I LOVED sitting on the balcony and didn’t mind one bit the buildings in front of me. I could see the ocean and Diamond head and it was beautiful at twilight and early morning.We were basically 2 big blocks from the beach and we swam everyday in the ocean!There is a city bus system that is easy to use as well as Ubers/lyftsPlenty to see and do. I would come back in a heartbeat.The only thing that I think could be better is the matress needs replacing on o e of the beds and it would be nice if basic spices and a starter set of coffee was available. Otherwise it was great!

The location was fantastic with great views. There were some nice extras with toys in the closet. My only concerns were that we were getting concerned about the access details as we were in transit when an answer came through. The elevators were under construction as well so at certain times it was a long ride. I would go back and use this apartment again in a heartbeat though.

I booked this unit for our daughter and her husband for our family vacation. Lee and Brandie were great to deal with but Koko Resorts that look after it for them were terrible. We couldn’t get into the room then when we did it had only been partly cleaned. Lee and Brandie were a great help helping us to get it all sorted and were gracious enough to give us our cleaning deposit and 1 night rent back which we appreciated. The unit is a little dated but as I said Lee and Brandie were great to deal with right from the start of our booking the unit.

Everything you need as a home base for Waikiki. Walkable to the beach and many restaurants. Parking included is a big bonus.

Spent a nice few days in Waikiki in this well- located property, across from the zoo... and the beach. Our only "complaint" was the TV was difficult to figure out, and a bit small for its location across the room from the bed. We are approaching 70 with poor eyesight and hearing, a bigger TV, or more comfirtable seating closer to tv would have been great. been nice. Othe the early 60s.

Easy walk to the beach. Fun playground for the kids. Only dislike was basic sliding closet type doors separated bedroom from living room so not much privacy.
February 2025
The room itself was great as well as the host. The building's location makes if very convenient to the beach and shops. Unfortunately, the building elevators get a zero rating. The wait times were long and in several cases, the elevator did not stop on our floor. Because we were on the 9th floor, we utilized the fire stairs instead of the elevator whenever possible. Downtown Waikiki is very loud day and night and that limited our use of the balcony and keeping the sliding window open.

Our second visit in less than a year. We really like this property and this unit. Great sunrise view. Very streamlined decor which made our vacation very restful. Comfy bed. Adequate kitchen (could use an electric tea kettle). Bathroom is fine but perhaps ready for a little refresh. We absolutely will try to stay in this unit again.
