Waikiki Banyan Reviews


Great location, just a block off the beach. The View was the selling point. Bathroom lighting wasn't the greatest and lighting in shower was way to dark. Beach chairs, towels and umbrellas were a great touch. I'd definitely stay here again. Loved Everything about Hawaii and recommend this location. Bikes available right outside the Condo. Coffee shop in lobby was AWESOME, as well as the little store next to elevators. Staff was friendly and the pool, hot tub was clean and welcoming. Great dining, massage and adventures near by. Everything's in walking distancebor a quick Uber/Lift ride. The unit is spacious with plenty of room. I wouldn't say this was completely renovated, lamps fixtures were a bit outdated. Shower curtain was a bit to short, water was always on the floor. Regardless I ENJOYED my 60th Bday Stay!

Clean and well appointed furnishings and decor. VRBO pictures are accurate. Management quickly addressed the ironing board issue we brought up. Appreciated the bottled water on our arrival. Wished other tenants followed the "no smoking" on outside patios. We will return and recommend.

Place was perfect for the 2 of us for a couple days. High floor with view of the ocean. Reasonably stocked and had what we needed.

The place has everything you need, kitchen, bathroom plentiful, not toouch of storage place in living room, the only downside. But it's very central, 5 minutes walk to the beach,had a parking spot included extra bonus for my family and friends, parking can be quite a challenge around the area Would highly recommend, clean , beautiful views.

We recently spent 4 nights in this property in late November. Love the location of this Waikiki Banyan property. It's one block to the beach and walking distance to International Marketplace and shops and restaurants on Kalakaua Avenue. Also love and appreciate that this property come with FREE parking. We didn't have difficulty finding parking space for our rental car. We also didn't have problem contacting the property owner, Monique. She was quick to respond by text. Definitely worth checking out this place if you are looking for place to stay in Waikiki.

I can't say enough good things about this place. The location to the beach and city amenities was perfect. Having a parking pass for our rental car was a huge bonus. The location is so great, we were able to drive around and see so much of the island, while every day being able to come back and walk down to Waikiki beach within minutes. My family can't wait to go back, I would stay in this condo again for sure. I wouldn't even bother looking at other places to be honest, no point.

When free parking and a full kitchen is at a premium, as it is in Waikiki, you want an apartment like this one. Just a block away from the beach, public transport and less than a 10 minute walk to the zoo, this place is convenient. Free parking was very welcomed and all staff were very helpful. Laundry on premises. There is an on-site manager for the apartment if you have any issues. Pool area is nice, with BBQ facilities. I have no issue recommending this place.

This place is not fancy, but it served us well as a launch pad for enjoying Waikiki and Oahu. The parking on site is an excellent benefit that saves us tons of time and money. The furniture is a little rickety and the track for the sliding door is a trip hazard. Other than that, it's great. Close to the elevator but we never heard any hallway noise.

December 2023

This was an amazing stay! Less than 5min walk to the sand, surrounded by all kinds of dining shops and things to so. View was spectacular, patio is big and spacious, room was more than big enough with stunning views at every window. There were lots of extra towels, a closet full of beach items, kitchen had anything you could need to cook a meal on site. Property owner Howard communicated very well, gave all information we needed in detail and was beyond kind! Room is conveniently located next to trash and laundry, but you do not hear or smell anything. This properly made our trip for sure! When we come back to Waikiki we will definitely try to stay here again as well as recommended it to anyone we know is visiting. Thank you Howard for allowing us to enjoy this place for our honeymoon!

Everything was great. There's really nothing to complain about. Communication was easy, likewise descriptions, instructions etc. We've found everything we needed, beach chairs and even a couple pairs of fins that turned out handful for snorkeling at Electric beach. Even though there's no designated parking space there, we never had a problem finding one for parking car.

Your unit was warm and inviting it had a homey feel. Lots of linen, full size frig. and stove. View of beach from every window. We saw they had something for everyone, kids beach toys and swimming accessories also beach chairs The bed was comfortable but waking up at dawn with a rooster crowing I was not expecting(ha, ha). They also had a large pool with Bar B Ques and a play area for children. Loved It!!

Arrived late and itched all night getting bit trying to sleep; woke up with red marks on my legs, arms, and parts not covered. This unit is very old and very small; even the bedding is worn. I didn’t have room for my suitcase and there isn’t a closet to hang clothes. The area is awesome and the views are great, but that’s about it. I’m still waiting for my refund and was told that they were sending “insect” control over, but I moved. Very difficult getting a response from the property manager.

This place is a gem. The condo looked better in real life than in the pictures, which were already stunning. View from the living room and the bedroom was incredible since it offers a panoramic view of the ocean and the mountains. Furniture was new, clean and very functional. Bed was comfy and the bathroom was one of the cleanest and newest compared to other other rentals i've previously stayed in. Kitchen has everything you need and Midway Vacations did an excellent job in making sure that we felt welcome and that our stay was comfortable and hassle free. Being the end unit, the layout of the condo is a little bigger and functional compared to the typical apartment in the bulding. Having a proper dinner table to eat on was a definite plus as this made it easier to dine and enjoy a proper meal (most other units only have a counter with bar stools) The touch screen check in/out system and welcome treats were a nice touch to easily make you feel at home. Wish we could have stayed longer but will definitely book this place again for the next Hawaii trip! Awesome job, Midway Vacations and Mahalo!

This vrbo has everything you could need which was great. We used the beach chairs and walked 10 minutes to the beach. Kitchen was well stocked. Had an umbrella, cards, kleenex, just a lot of thoughtful extras that make it homey. The only negative things I would say is that you hear quite a bit of noise due to the downtown location so just expect that. Also the bedroom blinds did nothing to keep the light out in the morning. Every day we were up by 6am, not exactly ideal when your on vacation. Be ready to get an early start to your day or bring an eye mask.

Our stay in this condo was great. This condo fit all our needs. Waikiki Banyon is the perfect place to stay, and we've stayed here for years each year visiting family in Honolulu. No surprise resort fees and parking fees. Laundry and trash on each floor. Just a block from the beach right in Waikiki and next to the zoo and aquarium. See you next year.

Location is surrounded by three major hotel chains and your stay is less than half the cost of one of their rooms. The unit has a beautiful view of the mountains, from the balcony especially at night. Only a block and a half from the beach. So many food and stores to entertain when you’re not playing in the sand. We will definitely be back. A perfect fayvacation!

It was a pleasure to spend a month in this location. While the apartment is slightly dated , it is spacious and very clean. Any issues we had were immediately resolved by the management. I was so impressed with their willingness to cater to any of our needs. You can’t get a better location - 5 minute walk to Waikiki beach, 2 minute walk to the canal and lanai!! Each day I was able to watch the sunrise and set if I walked in either direction. Shops, markets, hotels all easily accessible. Having a little market/ store right below was so convenient for basics. Even the laundry business on the first floor ended up being a boon , as I was able to easily acquire towels and sheets while washing mine. Loved it so much have already booked a month for next year!! Mahalo Ali’i Beach Rental for making our stay so pleasant .

My wife and I stayed at this property for six days, and we enjoyed ourselves. The place was as listed, no surprises, super convenient (beach/restaurants), clean, and well-stocked. The view of Diamond Head from the property was just the best! Would love to stay here in the future when we're in Honolulu. Mahalo!

Amazing location and so easy to get right to Waikiki! Super helpful that there was parking offered as well which made the trip so much easier and it stressful.

I always stay at Waikiki Banyan when I visit Oahu. Convenience to the beach, and everything you can do on Kalakaua Ave is great. The parking and wifi to go with these condos is great too. This unit is very nice clean other than dusty walls in kitchen. Beds and futon aren't comfortable. Very easy check in, as you get a key code to the door. I will say if you're staying at the Waikiki Banyan and driving a large SUV or Truck the parking is not great for that. This visit we had a larger vehicle than we usually get. We had 5 adults with lots of luggage. We had a GMC Yukon Xl. Finding parking in the parking garage wasn't easy. There is only the lower level for parking large vehicles. And unfortunately this building does not specify to other drivers with small vehicles to save the spaces on lower level for large vehicles. There was a couple times I had to wait for a car to leave to park. But other than that issue Waikiki Banyan is a great place to stay.

This cozy studio is perfect for two people, with many highlights to enjoy. The location is the most significant benefit of this condo. You'll be in close proximity to Waikiki's famous attractions, including the beach, Leonard Malasadas, Rainbow drive-through, and ABCs. Kevin, the host, is incredibly accommodating, and the rental cost is a bargain for what you get in this prime location.

December 2023

Overall, it was just okay. It was reasonably clean upon arrival, except that the tables and counters needed a wipe off. The high floor location and free parking are great. The beach chairs and boogie board were nice. The amenities in the kitchen are sorely lacking. The two beds were not full size, they were strangely shorter and less wide than a standard double/full. The weirdest thing was one day I got a call from Stanley asking if he could come in to get something from the closet. I told him that we were not at the unit and he said that he would just come in to the entry hall to get whatever he needed from the closet. I asked him if it could wait a few hours until we got back and he said no, then that he would get whatever he needed from his house instead. (Why not just do that to begin with?) I found this oddly unsettling for the rest of the trip. For check out, the instructions were not excessive but I did not appreciate the threat of charging my credit card if the level of “neat and tidy” that was expected did not meet their standards. I found this ironic since I had cleaning to do upon arrival of visibly dirty table and counters. Finally, the AC unit did not adequately cool the unit; we bought a fan to help move the air and kept all the curtains closed during the days which kept it from being too warm but it was hardly cool. In fairness it was August but the existing AC unit (with its dirty filter) was not adequate for the size of rooms it needed to cool.

The Good: Comfy bed, amazing views, and close to the beach. The Bad: Checkout is closer to 9am by the time you bring down your bags and have to bring your parking pass up to the room by 9:45am. You’ll see the elevator is a lot busier during checkout so plan ahead. If you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs or sound machine. Being 30 floors up doesn’t stop the sound from getting into the apartment, especially if you want to enjoy the breeze. Air conditioner condensation empties onto the deck instead of away from the building. So if you have it running be prepared to avoid the puddle on the deck. It was an okay stay. Felt more like a hotel except without the amenities of getting fresh towels, etc. I wouldn’t tell anyone to avoid it, but we wouldn’t put it on our list of must stay again.

The 36th floor is very high so elevator rides are long. But the condo is great, everything is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. Decor is feminine and very relaxing. Just a short walk to a beautiful beach with a breakwall so can wade in the beautiful water and easy walking distance to everything, stores, restaurants, more beaches.... Parking was included and spaces were available at all times. I would stay again.

Property was in a good location. Condo was clean and supplied. The activity/outside pool floor was disappointing. The photos show a tennis court. There wasn’t a net or any fencing to play.

Just as advertised. This was our 2nd stay at the Waikiki Banyan (different listing), and it's an easy place to stay. Slightly off strip which is what we love about it.

The place was clean and modern. Could have used a little TLC in a few spots but no more than you'd expect from a rental. The view was great even with a few large buildings in the way. Just a sorry walk from the beach and good shopping.
Jacob K.
December 2023

The remodel was nicely done & offers all of the amenities you need including recreation, beach gear, & some toiletries. Prior to the remodel, I wonder if there was flood damage or a cat that lived in the apartment because there is a pungent smell that would not dissipate despite keeping all doors & windows open for circulation or spraying air fresheners. It seemed to be coming from the area rug near the couch. There are no blackout curtains meaning anyone sleeping on the pullout is subject to light pollution at night & an early, but beautiful sunrise. Blackout shades would be a great addition. The air conditioner works fine but only cools the main room. A standing, oscillating fan would be a relief in the bedroom since the air conditioner doesn’t cool the whole unit. A safety concern for us was that the door does not latch properly & you must manually make sure the door knob turns so that the door will actually shut. This could lead to theft or bodily harm as anyone off of Ohua Street can walk directly to the hotel & hop on the elevators to any floor and find condo door open. The walls are thin, we could hear neighbors above the unit & next door. The closet is obstructed by one of the beds so there is no where to store luggage. The location is excellent. It’s easily walkable to the Kuhio Beach & restaurants on Kalakaua Boulevard. The view of Diamond Head from the unit is beautiful. We had a schedule change & we were able extend our reservation thanks to Captain Cook.

This property was just a couple blocks off the main strip and a couple blocks from the beach. It was absolutely perfect! The only complaint about the property is that the elevator sometimes took a long time. However, there are 37 floors so it's understandable. The communication with the property management company was easy and fast! I would definitely book again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall this place was great! There were a few minor issues but nothing that would make me not want to come back. The AC drips all over the lanai so there is constantly a puddle out there. We noticed some wet spots on the carpet when we arrived so assumed it was from people going out on the lanai and coming back in. The kitchen was semi adequately stocked with pots and pans but could be a lot better. Some basic pantry items would be nice as all the room had was salt and pepper. The washlet was interesting to use and I got used to having it so now want one at home! There were plenty of towels and the washer/dryer in the unit was very convenient. The dryer does vent into the room though and the washer is very small so you can only do small loads. Still, it was nice to have. We were overall very comfortable in this room. There really isn't a view, which was expected and seems to be reflected in the price. Your view is really of the top level of the parking garage but we didn't get this room for the view. We got it for the price and the amenities. It's a short walk to the beach. There were two beach chairs, some boogie boards, and a broken beach umbrella. We bought a Tommy Bahama beach umbrella from Costco and left it for future guests. I would recommend this property. Property management company, Captain Cook Resorts, was fantastic to deal with!

The 36th floor is very high so elevator rides are long. But the condo is great, everything is very clean and the kitchen is well stocked. Decor is feminine and very relaxing. Just a short walk to a beautiful beach with a breakwall so can wade in the beautiful water and easy walking distance to everything, stores, restaurants, more beaches.... Parking was included and spaces were available at all times. I would stay again.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Good position, good views of Diamond Head and the beach, close to the main beach and main street, only a 3 minute walk. Air con needs replacing, unit was noisy and filter vent kept falling off, and fan speed didn't work across 3 speeds, only medium speed. Unit clean, communication good, lifts are very slow, sometimes 5 to 10mins waiting for a lift. Also a kettle could not be located.

The Good: Comfy bed, amazing views, and close to the beach. The Bad: Checkout is closer to 9am by the time you bring down your bags and have to bring your parking pass up to the room by 9:45am. You’ll see the elevator is a lot busier during checkout so plan ahead. If you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs or sound machine. Being 30 floors up doesn’t stop the sound from getting into the apartment, especially if you want to enjoy the breeze. Air conditioner condensation empties onto the deck instead of away from the building. So if you have it running be prepared to avoid the puddle on the deck. It was an okay stay. Felt more like a hotel except without the amenities of getting fresh towels, etc. I wouldn’t tell anyone to avoid it, but we wouldn’t put it on our list of must stay again.

Property was in a good location. Condo was clean and supplied. The activity/outside pool floor was disappointing. The photos show a tennis court. There wasn’t a net or any fencing to play. Pool area was minimal. Email & text management upon arrival and they didn’t respond. Next stay I would consider a different property.

Nicely remodeled condo with a heated pool and hot tub. Easy walking distance to the beach and whatever you needed. The bedroom closed off with sliding doors so the baby could sleep while the rest of us hung out in the living room. We enjoyed our stay!

Was my third stay at the Waikiki Banyan and this was the nicest place I’ve stayed in there. Will definitely book this room next time I’m in Waikiki.

The listing was exactly as described. It's located in easy walking distance to the beach and shopping. The included parking is a huge bonus. The view from the unit included both Le'ahi and the ocean. We kept the patio door open and didn't need to use the A/C for the week that we were there. If we return, we woukd be happy to stay here again.

Older property, but nicely kept. Large one room suite. Great ocean view. Very responsive management. Only thing missing is luggage storage room for red eye customers.
