Great and inexpensive place, offering a lot of amenities
Pros:

Incredible staff, they really helped with every aspect of my stay. If you have an early tour, you may request a breakfast box, so you won’t stay hungry! Overall, this hotel has everything a person needs, and I would definitely consider staying there should I return to Waikiki.

Cons:

The only downside is that there is no laundry in the hotel, but you can find a few laundromats not too far away from the hotel

Ottimo soggiorno a Waikiki
Pros:

Posizione centrale, ottima. Vicino alla spiaggia di Waikiki, in zona piena di ABC stores, negozi di souvenir e supermercati vari.
Personale molto gentile.
Molto comodo avere la colazione inclusa, che consiste in un buffet di frutta, con qualche brioche e muffin e angolo salato. No latte, ma caffè e succo di ananas squisito! Consigliamo di arrivare alle 6.50/7.00 perché dopo non c'è più posto per sedersi.
La zona della colazione è a disposizione anche per cenare la sera con le proprie cose, potendo utilizzare il microonde.
Inoltre, è possibile prendere in prestito sedie sdraio, ombrelloni e teli mare gratuitamente!
Parcheggio interno molto comodo con valet. I valet sono stati tutti molto gentili e ci hanno dato consigli su luoghi da visitare. 40 dollari al giorno. Si può uscire e rientrare più volte nella stessa giornata senza sovrapprezzo.
L'hotel mette a disposizione dei dispensatori di acqua purificata per riempire le proprie borracce e bottiglie.
Letto comodo e piccolo frigo disponibile in camera. La camera viene rifatta tutti i giorni ed è possibile cambiare gli asciugamani.

Cons:

La camera era un po' piccola e datata.
La doccia era una vasca con un getto d'acqua non regolabile.

Hotel is very accessible and front desk helpful.
Pros:

The hotel is very accessible and its the center of waikiki. What we like is the breakfast and the room is very clean. The concierge person is very helpful so as the helpers. The cooks are very friendly. And most of all is the valet parking guys. Notably is Arnel who is so friendly that he gave recommendations to where ww should go. Highly recommended for taking care of our car. Overall our stay is perfect and when we come back which am sure we will, we will stay at this hotel again.

Disappointed
Pros:

The location is good, a few blocks to Waikiki beach.. Beach gears are provided, but some are not in very good condition.

Cons:

The breakfast was very basic, not many choices. The air conditioner was very noisy and hard to sleep.
We checked out on 11 May, the deposit is still on hold. I have been contacted with the hotel a few times, the issue has not been resolved yet. I hope the hotel can address the matter promptly.

No frills, Best value for your money hotel in Waikiki
Pros:

We stayed for 7 nights at the Vive and it was wonderful! the hotel is 2 blocks from waikiki beach. so many good eats around the area. near shopping places as well. We felt safe in the area as well. The hotel is not new but they keep it clean. No complaints with cleanliness. They also provide umbrellas, beach towels, beach mat, beach chair, etc. Included bfast is also very good although became redundant as were there for a week. The gem of this hotel are the staff! Starting from the Front desk with Alex, Roger and Melvin. Always ready to give a helping hand. We requested ironing board and it was delivered promptly. Every morning is made complete by Teodora smiling and singing even if bfast time is busy. Last but not the least, Arnel and Tyler from valet parking. Always jolly but remains professional and courteous. Also, gives us recommendations on where to eat and places to visit. I definitely recommend this place! Very reasonable price for all the perks you get plus superb staff is a plus!
