Don't be deceived by the low rating of The Hawaiian Monarch Hotel. Although it is in the same complex, it is managed by the owner who takes great detail into giving you a wonderful stay. Saichi was very easy to communicate with. He did very well to give us an earlier check in and keeping us updated and informed. The space you are staying is very accurately described. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were crisp and clean. Linen provided was also very clean. It had everything you needed and centrally located - only 15min walk to the centre of Waikiki and a 20min walk to Ala Moana shops. Plenty of food places to eat locally. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the condo, there is no open windows (to my knowledge) to allow fresh air through, making the space a little stuffy. Secondly, due to close proximity of neighbours, you can smell cigarette smoke coming through the vents of the aircon, even though this building is specifically non-smoking. Turning on the aircon was a quick fix to rid the stuffiness and cigarette odour. Overall, we have really enjoyed staying here, and will definitely recommend this place for others to stay! Thank you to our wonderful host, Saichi!!
