Location location location! I loved staying in this building and area so much. Bus stops are super close by in all directions to get anywhere. (I didn’t need parking or a car) Beach is less then a 10 minute walk away and sunset and the Waikiki beach walk are right there by the Hilton Hotel. Great local restaurants close by like the Hiking Cafe Waikiki and Goofy’s Cafe which are both excellent for breakfast. ABC Stores and Seven Eleven super close too.
The building is very clean and safe. I would totally stay here again. Love the 5th floor lounge and laundry area. The pool I never used as I was always at the beach or park close by instead. But it looks very inviting and clean.
This is a very simple, clean, small studio. Perfect for one person, might be a bit cramped for two people depending on your relationship! But for a budget you really cannot go wrong. I would stay again. The new floors are really nice. Wifi is solid. The bed is comfortable. Love the balcony with city views where you can let fresh air in all night long and feel safe. I found it to be really peaceful. It wasn’t too noisy considering you are facing a lot of condos and traffic. Definitely some sirens here and there. I sleep with the fan on so that drowns out any noise if you are really sensitive. Tons of rainbows from the balcony!
If you are ok without an oven, kettle and a blender then you will be fine. It has all the other basics covered to stay. I don’t make coffee but it looks like a new coffee maker is in a box waiting to be used. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper and ice are a really nice touch to have when arriving. I didn’t need any of that for a few weeks.
Lisa was great to communicate with and always got back to me. I am hoping to do this all over again soon!
Mahalo!
