    Great hotel, super friendly staff at the reception. Very near the beach and easy access to the main street for all the restaurants and shops. Also, an ABC store is across the street, which is convenient.

    Room was a little small, some noises at night out in the hallway.

    Location is great, close to the beach and other shopping/dining amenities. A little busy with traffic, lots of tour buses on the road near hotel. Staff was friendly, place was clean and cool. I liked having the beach accessories to borrow at the front desk.

    Nothing at all

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional boutique-style hotel in Waikiki, and I must say, it far exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality that immediately made me feel at home. The ambience throughout the hotel is charming and inviting, striking a perfect balance between comfort and elegance. The rooms are cozy, tastefully decorated, and thoughtfully maintained, offering a relaxing retreat after a day of exploring. However, what truly sets this hotel apart is its incredible team of staff. Every member of the team is exceptionally friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests feel comfortable and well-cared for. Their consistent kindness and professionalism made a lasting impression—it genuinely felt like being part of a family. This hotel offers an experience that rivals, and in many ways surpasses, traditional 4- or 5-star accommodations. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place where you’re truly valued and welcomed. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Waikiki, and I’m already looking forward to returning next year. A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful staff who made my stay so memorable—you are truly the heart and soul of this remarkable hotel.

    For a night it was fine, but it did not have much room for a family if you want to stay longer (would recommend 2 rooms)

    The room had a view of the beach, it was clean and nicely set up though small. The beds weren't as large as we were used to, so it was a little squishy for 2 adults and 2 kids to share. It was fine for an overnight stay and the staff did all they could to allow for an early check-in (very much appreciated). Staff were friendly and helpful, and there was free coffee in the morning. There are ABC stores everywhere nearby, a shave ice place and loads of food options (Lu Lu's & Cheeseburger in Paradise were great). The beach is half a block walk, if that!

    Loud street noise VERY early in the morning. No laundry in the building and no laundromat nearby. Nice that they lend out snorkeling gear, but the quality wasn’t great so we still ended up renting equipment at the location.

    Very nice and helpful staff. Pretty view. Good, free coffee.

    Bathroom light fills the whole room … not good for those who use it during the night. Valet parking is expensive (but there is public parking for $ 0.50/hour, at walking distance).

    Location is superb ! Staff is great … very helpful. Rooms are spacious.

    If I had to say one thing, we closed the wood doors to the windows, and they were really squeaky, need to be oiled. Not a deal breaker, just a suggestion. Loved the Hotel

    Everything was great, and very clean. Also, the hallways smelled so fresh. One of the cherries on top, was the cold, refreshing white towels, given to us at check in. They were truly AMAZING!! What a nice, wonderful thing to get those. I will stay here again!
