Average stay

Overall things were acceptable. The biggest issue being that the best were very uncomfortable! Add the nightlife noise to the bad beds and sleeping was a premium. Great location of walking around Waikiki is your goal.

Joe’s quick stay

The room served its purpose. Quick stay before going to another island. Small room. Parking was tough the first night. I had paid for a reservation to park. When we got there after hours, there were no spots. Parked on the street with others. I got a parking ticket. The staff was looking into what they can do. If you want no frills room one block of Waikiki Beach this is the place.

The staff at this property was friendly and went above and beyond. But, out of their control, our room was located directly above a Korean BBQ food truck, so the bbq smoke and their deafening generator (couldn’t hold a conversation on our deck) was an issue from 10am until 11pm. Even with the windows closed, all of our clothes smelled of bbq smoke at the end of our 2 day stay. Also, a group of homeless men camped out on the sidewalk near the front of the property each night, drunk, smoking and using the sidewalk as their toilet.

We stayed 7 nights at this hotel. Staff are helpful and friendly. There is no housekeeping everyday but you can ask reception for new towels, toiletries and what ever you need. Walkable location to Waikiki Beach. Easy access to all transport pick up stop at Duke Kahanamoku Statue and shopping. Although, our room was above the food trucks operating until late, it was noisy, but once you close the door you cannot hear anything. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will stay there again.

The hotel is basic at best. The room is small and very basic/dated. I called to reserve parking as soon as we had booked the room. When we arrived we were informed there was no spot for us. We had to park 3 blocks away and pay twice as much. I specifically chose this hotel because it was relatively well priced with the parking. I would have chosen somewhere else if I'd known that I wasn't going to be able to park on site. Also, know that if you do get parking here you'll want a small vehicle. The spots are tight to say the least. Also the rooms/balconies directly look out over a noisy food truck location.

Small and quaint.

Amazing spot. Walking distance from the beach, food trucks, & cafes. Very limited parking but there’s some structures a few blocks away where you can park over night. Small quiet place. Didn’t really see other people too much but it shows how chill the hotel was. The inside was clean and didn’t smell bad. My only complaint was the balcony. Nice view but there was moldy water puddling up on the floor due to leaks. Other than that, I definitely recommend.

It's ok pricey but it's normal in that area, you have to clean your own room or if you need new clean towels you have to get it your self. If you're traveling alone better getting a hostel instead

Relaxation at Waikiki at a fair price!

I had a clean, comfortable, quiet place to stay and the a/c was very cold. The hotel is centrally located, walking distance to Waikiki, and the staff at the front desk was friendly and very helpful. What else could you ask for?

Central hotel

Central location, few minutes walking to the beach or few minutes the other way to take theBus. Able to come back to take a break or take a quick shower between activities. Everything looked and smelled clean. Bath towels were very soft and you can borrow beach towels from the lobby during your stay. We felt safe walking around even late night and early morning before sunrise. You need your room key to get into the elevator or stairwell. Can be a bit loud outside with the food trucks at night and the garbage trucks in the morning, but we just needed a clean, convenient spot that we could afford. Would stay again : )

I love the fact that everything is so nearby. They don't call it Waikiki "Central" Hotel for nothing. You literally have food, shopping, the beach, etc within a block away from you. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking is a plus and only $25/day which is reasonable. Overall a great stay. I would definitely book again in the future.
