The property was very convenient, and great views for ocean view. Staff was extremely nice and helpful with any question
Pros:

We loved the location!

Cons:

We didn’t necessarily not like anything. But, would recommend a microwave in each room just for convenience. & softer mattresses would be a big win especially for the price for the stay.

My Go-To Hotel in Waikiki
Pros:

I adore this hotel! It is casual and un-fancy but it is safe, clean, the beds are crazy comfortable, the staff are very friendly and trustworthy and it's affordable! If you need a huge shower and get bent out of shape if your bedside lampshade is crooked you can find 50 other places to spend 3 times as much on a room that won't have half the charm. This place is cheerfully simple and you just can't beat the location or the view from the ocean side rooms. This was my 4th stay here and is officially my go-to place when I visit Waikiki.

It could be so much more...
Pros:

This hotel could be so much more than it is. Some of the staff was very nice- but some of the staff was very sour-looking, even when the guests were saying good morning and thank you. The room was an afterthought. It is more of a motel than an actual hotel but it is a very good place if you need just a bed, a shower, and do not plan on being in the room very long.

Immaculate Room, Excellent Staff, Stunning Views
Pros:

We had a wonderful experience at the Circle Hotel for our honeymoon, and cannot thank the staff enough! We had a last-minute problem with a reservation at another hotel on the island, and Circle Hotel management worked hard to get us a room with a fantastic ocean view for the entirety of our stay in Hawaii.

The room was cleaned well daily, we appreciated the new towels each day. Valet staff were very friendly and kind. Front desk staff were also fun to talk to. My husband and I had fun renting DVDs from the lobby on days we wanted to rest. The Circle hotel is in an excellent location, on the same block as an ABC convenience store and a diner, just across the street from the beach, and a quick walk to the zoo and downtown Waikiki. We will be sure to stay again when we return!
