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.

Pros:

The location is amazing, right on Waikiki beach.. The staff is friendly and helpful. Wonderful restaurant on site. Clean rooms. Surf boards and other beach equipment for rent on site.

Cons:

The room was small for 4, but doable. And the mattress was not very comfortable.

relaxing, delightful, eventful and FUN!
Pros:

Everything you needed was walking distance to the beach which was across the street from the hotel, restaurants, shopping and excursions. Plenty of sights to see and things to do.

Cons:

the hotel does not have a concierge service but plenty of vendors on the street to help plan your stay.

It’s a place to store your luggage and be steps away from Waikiki Beach
Pros:

Location, that’s it

Cons:

It is basically a reception, elevator a narrow hallway and room. There are better options in the area for the price.

Excellent position and they didn't charge for any extras that some others charge . No hassle checkin
Pros:

W had an ocean facing room directly across from the beach in a great area of town , walking distance to lots of cafes and restaurants and over the road from the beach, would recommend to anyone but get an ocean facing room.no restaurant on site but lots of food outlets close.Eggs and Things cafe below hotel is open for breakfast but always very busy you need to book. I mentioned to the cafe and other eatings places we went to that if you provided decent coffee you could actually charge for it !! Ha Ha.

Cons:

No complaints for the price

Great little hotel/ location, great staff. I'd stay again -- and ask for a room on the south side.
Pros:

GREAT location. Wonderful staff-- cheerful and friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Since the showers are so small... at least mine was.... and I know you can't just remodel this classic hotel, and I wouldn't anyway, but would be helpful if there were a shelf for the shampoos and soaps, or if all were glued to a wall, b/at some age, it gets harder and harder to get to them on the floor of the shower.....
I had an "ocean view" room on the north? side of the hotel, next to another hotel. We'd have left our door open and enjoyed the balcony (only place to actually "view" the ocean) more if the sound of the AC's didn't drown out all conversation.

Pros:

Clean and close to the beach! They provide beach towels so it helped that I didn’t have to bring any or buy any!

Cons:

Didn’t have a pool
