We recently stayed at this clean and modern apartment in the Royal Kuhio, conveniently located in Waikiki and within walking distance to many shops, restaurants, Waikiki beach. The host was in touch after I booked the apartment, sent instructions prior to my arrival, and let me know that the apartment was ready before the check-in time. The lock box was easy to find and the check-in process was smooth.

We enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen and comfortable, king-sized bed. The bedroom can be separated from the living area by a sliding room divider, which worked for us, but may not work for others looking for one bedroom unit. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this unit.

We had a rental car for exploring other parts of the island, so we appreciated the parking space that was included with the apartment. However, there is no rhyme or reason to the way that parking spaces are numbered in the parking garage! We knew what floor our parking space was located, but it took a few times circling around to find it.

A couple of things to consider: 1) You can hear the buses and bars downstairs, but you are close to everything. 2) The key fob used to get into the building and parking garage takes a couple of tries to work, but security told us that many others in the building have the same problem. 3) The futon works well as a sofa, but use caution when opening it up to sleep on. When the futon is fully opened into the flat position, it has a tendency to flip over when someone lays on the side that is the back panel of the sofa. We just left it in the "sofa" configuration (with the back up) for one person to sleep on it. I can't imagine two people sleeping comfortably on the futon.
