All of the other reviews have said it, but I’m going to repeat how nice it was to arrive to such an accommodating staff.
We spent a lot of time at Waikiki Beach, which was a long walk or a short Uber ride away, but we usually walked. Most of the tours were very accommodating and picked us up at or near Equus. Most of them recognized the Paniolo name above the hotel name.
The rooms were cute and clean enough, we didn’t ever see any insects or other reason for concern for my cleanliness standpoint. We did notice that it was a little loud from the street noise. Room service checked in with us every day to see if we needed to replace towels or anything else.
Overall, bring some earplugs to sleep with, but we would highly recommend this place!
