un séjour au calme, reposant.
Pros:

Je viens dans cet hôtel depuis 2007. Il est très bien situé et dans un quartier calme. Tout est à proximité à pied. Si besoin de se rendre beaucoup plus loin, les bus sont très proches.

Cons:

les ascenseurs sont parfois inquiétant, ils mettent du temps à s'ouvrir et ensuite les chiffres qui indiquent l'étage passent par tous les chiffres clignotant au passage....

Pros:

Very convenient location. It’s a short drive to and from HNL and is relatively quiet despite being right by Waikiki. Speaking of which, super short walk to the beach and a nice walking distance to Ala Moana.

Best hotel value on Waikiki, friendly staff and clean rooms. Highly reccomend.
Pros:

This hotel is perfectly located right in the center of all the happenings in Waikiki, everything is just a short walk away. Aqua Palms is probably the best value in the area, the rooms are clean, the staff are very friendly and helpful and the price can't be beat if you don't need the luxury perks that many hotels here offer. I highly reccomend Aqua Palms Waikiki for at least part of your stay in Honolulu.

Cons:

The bathroom sink was small and cramped, making shaving akward. Nothing else comes to mind.

Nice location!
Pros:

Great location, only five minute walk to the beach. Next to the hotel, there are multiple food options; breakfast, lunch and diner.
Great view from the room and nice to be able to fill up your water bottles with cold water for free!
Cheapest parking in the neighbourhood (that we could find)

Cons:

The room had a funky smell when you just walked in.
Slow elevator, but three of them, so it was okay!
