Pros:

Posizione e location interessanti, vicino al centro e in servizi

Cons:

Struttura priva di qualsiasi servizio al cliente. c'è una macchinetta all'ingresso della struttura, è veramente assurdo per il pezzo che si paga
Personale inesistente.
Fate attenzione se ritardate di qualche minuto il tempo di check-in, vi vengono addebitati 50$ senza storie.
È assurdo in quanto i 50$ sono regalati, oltre ad un prezzo ingiustificabile che già viene pagato per la stanza.
Ci sono tante alternative in zone che fanno un livello molto più alto di servizio.

Great option for someone on a budget!
Pros:

The hotel was clean, staff friendly and helpful. We were able to check in early without any additional fee. Location was convenient. We were able to take the bus from the airport to hotel, and from hotel to cruise ship port. Beds and pillows are comfy. Price was Awesome!

Cons:

Windows are old single pane slat windows that crank open; so it can be noisy at night, but the AC unit drowned out the noise. And when the afternoon sun shines it can be hot, but the thick curtains kept the room cool. There is not a 24 hr front desk, but Ring camera to contact the staff; which worked well for us.

Exceptional Stay – The Best Value in Central Waikiki!
Pros:

This was actually our third time staying here, and it has officially become our absolute go-to accommodation in Honolulu. We love it so much that we will easily be back for a 4th, 5th, 6th, (or more) times. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or in a group, this place offers the absolute best value for your money.

Location & Deck: The location is perfect—situated in a quieter part of central Waikiki, just a 10-minute walk to the beach, restaurants, and Target. Our room had a great deck that easily fits two chairs and overlooks the canal, which is essential for drying our togs and swim gear.

Room & Self-Catering: The spacious "mini-apartment" style room has fast Wi-Fi and a full kitchen. Self-catering saved us a ton of cash, leaving more money for island activities. You can feel the family pride here; they are gradually upgrading the property with new laminate flooring, double glazing, and great new AC units.

Service & Pricing: There are no hidden resort fees—what you see is what you pay. While the front desk isn't manned and you must book a check-in time, communication is flawless. The owner and staff are incredibly nice, responsive, and provide free beach gear like towels and umbrellas.

Good to Know: If you want to lounge by a resort pool, this isn't for you. On-site parking is a lifesaver but requires an extra fee and spaces are tight. The beds are a comfortable medium-firm with great pillows. Pots and pans are provided, but remember to bring your own basic pantry items like salt, pepper, and coffee!

Cons:

There was nothing that we didn't like and it ticks all our boxes for what we look for in Hawaii accommodation.

Pros:

Hôtel très bien situé, dans un environnement agréable et bien ventilé. L’accueil est chaleureux, l’équipe est toujours disponible et serviable. L’établissement est calme et sécurisant, avec des accès verrouillés le soir. Quelques bruits peuvent provenir de l’extérieur, mais cela reste tout à fait acceptable. Ce n’est peut-être pas un hôtel de luxe, mais il offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix et on s’y sent vraiment bien.

Cons:

Le parking est un peu étroit.

Be very sure with your dates because they will not be understanding & will charge you, unlike others
Pros:

kitchen was great to have since restaurants are so expensive

Cons:

our flight was delayed due to weather in Hawaii so we arrived late, and we were charged a large fee for arriving late. Usually, weather is considered beyond our control, so this was a very frustrating way to start.

Clean and convenient location
Pros:

Convenient location, walking distance to the main drag in Waikiki. Very clean, and the cleaning lady was very nice. Nice view from the balcony of the canal and mountains. Also nice to have dedicated on site parking.

Cons:

The mattress is very firm and springy, also only one chair to relax in aside from the kitchen table. Wasn't very comfortable for working.

Pros:

Fast wifi with no connection issues. We had the checkin appointment at 8PM but our plans changed and we got there earlier and forgot to inform in advance. We called the guy and he was kind enough to get to the hotel as fast as possible (it took him 30 min). Much appreciated. The location was perfect for us.
