Waikiki Circle Hotel by Castle

Close to beach and restaurants

The location is perfect. The staff absolutely amazing. The room needs a little help and the bathroom is very small as well as the shower and the room itself.

The first night in the power was off on a few blocks. The staff took up our luggage via the stairs. They were always friendly and were knowledgeable about the area.

The restaurant eggs and things is fabulous and is attached to the hotel.

If you are looking for a 5 star resort this is not the place. If you are looking for a great place to sleep and a perfect location across the street from the beach and minutes from shopping you found your place.

I would definitely return.

If you're looking for a hotel to stay that has great ocean views, the beach directly across the street, an excellent location in Waikiki, you don't care about having a swimming pool, and has reasonable rates, this is the place for you.
If you want a large room, a swimming pool, or have lots of kids, you probably want to go somewhere else.
The rooms are a bit small but adequate, perfect for a couple and perhaps a small kid or two. It does have a nice balcony with a couple of chairs and a small table to set your drinks on
It could use a little TLC, but the room was clean, the mattress was firm, which is the way that I like it, and the staff was friendly.
Spend extra to get an ocean view room on one of the top floors. It's worth it.
I would definitely stay here again.

It was walking distance to everything

Location

Very nice! Very cool.
Stuff are very kind.
Waikiki beach is very near.
The eggs things is very near.
I like always Waikiki circle hotel!

The location of the property is absolutely the best.

Everything okay

On the beach, clean, nice stuff

Location was simply perfect. Right in the middle of everything! Beach just across the street. Easy access to shopping, entertainment, restaurants. The hotel is older and dated and the rooms are on the small size, but the beds were very comfortable and it was clean, and as I said, perfectly located. Good value for the money in an expensive holiday city!

View from our room was exceptional.

It was good value when I booked it although circling (no pun intended) back the rates look higher.

I had an ocean view even though I was a bit sideways, the room is a bit small but well laid out. I love the RO (reverse osmosis) cold water fountain downstairs and the free DVD rentals are a nice touch. I didn't make use of them but they could be nice if you got a little too much sun or got injured or were under the weather.

Staff were friendly and helpful, beds were comfy, and the WiFi was decent.

Great beginner surfing right across the street with ample surf instructors and rentals and plenty of great places to eat and drink. I will however give the adjacent breakfast place a pass in the future because despite being across the street from the beach they are afraid of bare feet.

Right across from Waikiki beach was a perfect location. The service by hotel personnel was excellent, as well!

Amazing location next door to a McDonald’s & ABC

The location and neatness

Stayed here for 5 nights in January and it was lovely. It' s not right on the beach, but just across the road from it. Paid a bit extra for an ocean view room, and that's exactly what I got. The rooms are small, but definitely enough room for everything you need. Showers are small, but manageable.
The staff are really nice, and ready to help at any time. Loved that they also had a water station to enable refills.
Waikiki Circle is also close to lots of shops and eateries, and close to the Big Kahuna statue. It can be a bit noisy - street noise, AC noise (very loud), but was tolerable.
Would probably stay here again.

Stayed here on a recent family trip and had a wonderful time. Only found this hotel through local friends who knew this to be one of the best locations in Waikiki. The property is old but clean and well maintained, and the staff is full of aloha. We knew the parking garage was limited so we opted to go carless on our 3 day stay. Good choice as Waikiki was fun to explore on foot, and a few short Uber rides got us to nearby shopping and tourist spots.

Best part though was just relaxing at the beach and in our room. We were in 2 rooms on the 8th floor and both had wonderful panoramic ocean and beach views. We had perfect weather, so we spent a lot of time just sitting and relaxing on the balcony.

Don't think we could have made a better choice for our Waikiki stay. Highly recommend!

Waikiki Circle Hotel is exactly as described - the curved rooms circle the central lift and stairs. The rooms are very small, especially for three people, but this is a relatively cheaper hotel than many in the heart of Waikiki. Excellent location if you want to be close to the action day and night, but it is showing its age. If you get an ocean view room, the views are wonderful. It is not a resort in any way that I could see - no pool (although there is a rather famous beach across the road!) no spas, restaurants, etc, but it’s a good simple base from which to explore Waikiki. If you are a fan of retro design, you'll love it. The staff are really helpful and friendly. There’s a cafe on the street downstairs and surfboards can be hired.
