Location and views unbeatable
Pros:

We stayed in the deluxe ocean view room. 180 degree spectacular beach views. Comfy beds. Across the road from the beach. Just fabulous.

Cons:

The room is cleaned every 3 days. You can ask for whatever you need in between, just our bins were overflowing which was annoying but that’s my only issue. I’m sure if I had asked them to empty them they would have. Not going to stop me from coming back though!

Location is amazing!
Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room needs upgrading, the shower water pressure was so low you can’t enjoy a decent shower end of the day. When you finally get pressure by adjusting water head, it goes on bathroom floor since the shower is so tiny.

Historic Charm & Beautiful Views
Pros:

The room was great. When we first arrived, we had to do a loop around the block because we missed the entrance. This is no big surprise though as this hotel is historic and Honolulu has grown around it. The attendant that checked us in was wonderful. She did match our room to the reservation and even gave us a beautiful view. The housekeeping staff only comes every three days, with only my spouse and I traveling for this trip we were able to make that work--for families; however, they may find this somewhat inconveniencing. Overall we had an excellent time while at the hotel and will consider it strongly again if/when staying in the Honolulu area.

Woulod stay there definitely again and ask for roon 1402!
Pros:

Awesome location! Staff extra friendly and helpful. Beds very comfy and room with its ocean view just gorgeous! Towels on demand and as the beach was lirterally across the road excellent service! Very happy to order taxi or rideshare for us!

Cons:

Very difficult to get into the breakfast cafe located next to Circle Hotel. However, only a block walk to another very tasty place so not an issue.

PERFECT
Pros:

Even though the Circle is under new management, nothing has changed. To us, its always been the perfect place to stay in Waikiki. Being on the smaller side, it doesn't have a pool or its own restaurant but with the ocean directly across Kalakaua Avenue and multiple restaurants close by its not necessary. What it does offer is value for money, the friendliest staff who always make you feel welcome and most rooms providing magnificent ocean views, its our happy place.
