We absolutely loved our stay in Waikiki! As soon as we booked the studio Jackie and Matt immediately contacted us with a welcoming message. They were both very easy to get a hold of and the response times were almost immediate. The studio was exactly how it is represented in the photos. Perfect space for 1-2 people. The AC worked great - at night we turned it into 'fan mode' and it was perfect as it didn't get too chilly. Yes the AC makes noise as it is close to the bed but that is expected with AC and it didn't bother us. The bed was very comfortable (firm but cosy at the same time). The room itself was clean. The TV was a plus and we could use the Netflix account supplied by Jackie and Matt. During our stay there were people in the suite next door. The only time we could hear them is when they were in the common corridor; otherwise, we could not hear them at all. A deck/patio would have been a nice addition to help dry off wet beach gear but we made it work nonetheless. Kitchen was stocked with all the cooking supplies we needed (there was even cooking oil, dish soap, coffee maker with filters, and tea towels available). Large fridge with freezer was great as well. There was a small table with 2 chairs beside the bed that we rearranged to sit right beside the window so we could look at the beautiful view when we ate our breakfast and dinner (highly recommend placing the table by the window!) The studio closet came with hangers, 2 beach towels, 2 boogie boards, 1 set of snorkel gear (no fins), beach umbrella (which was broken however but we weren't going to use it anyways) and chairs! There was also a broom and vacuum available. The bathroom had shampoo, conditioner and a soap dispenser in the shower, as well as sunscreen and after sun cream in the cupboard. There were 2 sets of bath towels and plenty of hand and face towels. Location was great as well. It's in the Hawaiian monarch hotel which is located at the end of the main strip so it wasn't as busy but still close enough to get to everything fairly quickly. Walking to the beaches were appx: 7 min to Hilton beach, 10-12 min to Fort Derussy beach, 20 min to Waikiki beach. We personally didn't mind the walking but for older couples, people with children, or physical injuries I could see how the distance would be a bit more inconvenient. Gym pass was $5/week - although it's small it was good enough to get a workout in. Elevators were not a problem for us. Last day of stay they were able to hold our luggage for $10. As other reviews say, the building is a bit outdated but the studio is so updated that you won't even care. The coffee place in the main lobby is...
