If you want to be near Waikiki and like the feel and benefits of being in a hotel, then this is a fantastic option. If you don’t want so many people and the hustle and bustle, then I’d look elsewhere in town and not in a “hotelminium.”
The unit is a bit small, but so is everything in Honolulu where real estate prices are so high! Nonetheless, the apartment is beautifully appointed and very functional. The balcony offers a nice view and fresh air, but does get quite hot from the direct exposure.
The host was very communicative and punctual with reminders and tips.
One big disappointment was no laundry in the unit. The listing describes it as an amenity, but it must be elsewhere in the building… making it much less desirable given that it’s a hotel and one so large.
Also, parking is less than ideal in such a busy area, but street parking and garage parking was available at market rates.
Overall, a very lovely accommodation that is attractive and relatively affordable.
