Royal Grove Waikiki

Staff was helpful

Rubi was so Friendly and help deaf guest make comfortable room and hold bags for me. I enjoyed my stay. I would stay again.

We go every winter to the Royal Grove. The staff is always cheerful and helpful. After the owners passed away a few years ago there have been some upgrades and remodeling that has rectified past issues. It is 2 minutes from the front desk to the beach sand. The Bus is just around the corner on Kuhio. There are many buses and routes available. Use your cell phone map to guide you to the correct bus routes and stops. Easy! We get the One Bedroom Suite. Plenty of room for 2 or even 4. Full kitchen. Everything works. The air conditioning is the Split Unit that has all of the noise outside and no noise inside. The pool was refurbished and looks new every day. There are beach chairs and floats to take to the beach for free. Wednesday nights for decades there is a wonderful variety show that guests can participate in. Hawaiian Music, singing, and Hula! They teach you to sing and dance if you like to participate. It is always wonderful and FREE!. There are several restaurants next door and across the street. Very convenient & inexpensive. There are 2 convenience stores either next door or across the street. There is a restaurant with bar with live music on the way to the beach. The only criticism I have are a few Hobos (may not even be homeless) that sometimes are outside. They don't bother you but I don't like the smoke. I have discovered that the local police even when asked will not do anything about the beach homeless that bother the tourists or openly use drugs on the beach. When we were here during COVID I saw 6 Policemen ganged up on an aged Vietnam Vet hotel guest because his vaccine was from the US Veterans Hospital. It appeared the Police were abusive to a Veteran that followed the rules & didn't fuss. Armed Police would stop The Bus to check everyone's ID and Vaccination. Sad.

I haven't stayed at this hotel for a number of years, but it was exactly the same. It's a bit like stepping into a time warp, a bit like 'old time' Waikiki, so if you are looking for glitz or glamour this is not the hotel for you. I arrived at 10.30am but couldn't check in until 3pm so hired a car for the day. My bags were looked after in my absence. My room was a deluxe king with full kitchen, on the 3rd floor, overlooking the pool. The room was spotlessly clean. The aircon looked new, but hardly worked, open the lanai door though and you get a good breeze so it didn't really worry me. The kitchen lacked a toaster and a kettle (I had to boil water in a saucepan on the stove for a cuppa) but otherwise was well equipped. I really didn't cook much. The bathroom was clean and tidy, unfortunately there was an issue with hot water (there really wasn't any, so showers were somewhat tepid at best). I did report it, but was told it was working fine (it really wasn't). No maid service during my 9 day stay, but I didn't mind that at all. Whenever my rubbish bin was full I just left it outside the door and it was always collected. Plenty of lounge chairs & umbrellas by the pool, which was cleaned daily. This hotel is only a 2 minute walk to the beach, so location can't be beat for the price. No parking though, but the bus stops right across the street and buses take you pretty much everywhere so you don't really need a car. Seriously good food options within a minute or two's walk of the hotel. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Will definitely stay again.

Location

The location was great. I do not speak much english but rubi had such exceptional service I stayed here about 5 times now. My name is Jully Qi. I appreciate how much rubi helped me. Rooms are clean and at very great price. The traditional Hawaiian Music on wednesday nights was the very best makes my stay very welcoming and very welcoming to families. I would stay here everytime I visit hawaii.

Great location, friendly staff and decent price.

Felt very comfortable and homey! Overall very positive experience, the staff were very nice and quick to respond to any issues (if any!).

good hotel to sleep and shower. Room not that clean and had a musty smell when first arrived. The staff was excellent and friendly.

ビーチまで数分で、近くには屋台やレストランが多くありロケーションが最高でした。
