If you are looking for more affordable accommodation than the hotels in Waikiki, Kelly's place is a good alternative. You are not right in the middle of the noisiest centre, but still just a few minutes' walk from it and the beach. The unit is very tiny; two would be crowded. On the 14th floor you are a little away from the street noise, although Waikiki is a roar 24/7; so bring some heavy-duty earplugs. No view from the room but outside on the lanai, you have a nice view across the Ala Wai canal. There's a mini fridge and a micro, and some funky plastic cutlery. A very large TV on the desk, so not much room to eat or spread out papers on it. Clean and no bugs, and feels secure. The bed was comfortable. There was a great guide book with maps as well as a few other activity guides. Communication was a bit intermittent, with a little confusion about getting in and when to pick up the bike, but when I did meet Kelly he was nice and can tell you lots about life in Honolulu, as well as being able to suggest some things to do. There's an older bike available for guests, which was a wonderful way to get around quickly and easily. The zippers on the old bike bag parted company on my first ride. On the nitpicky side, some of the plates weren't clean, and you can smell what your neighbours are cooking (or smoking). Overall it was a pretty good option if you don't want to spend hotel prices.
