I can’t complain about the location. It’s super convenient. It’s close to majority of the shops, restaurants and beach. Kalakaua Avenue and Royal Hawaiian center is just less than 5 minutes walking distance. There is also a nice restaurant right next to it where they serve breakfast with outdoor seating. We had breakfast there twice throughout our stay because it was very good.
As for the room, it’s very clean but there could be some minor fixes but nothing major. The shower water doesn’t completely shut off. The water still drips from the faucet even though the valve is tightened.
The room is ideal for a couple but it’s good for 3 people and no more as there is only a queen sized bed and a couch. The pullout mattress of the couch is very comfortable so unless you’re very tall I wouldn’t sleep on it and just sleep on the couch as is instead.
The ad states that there is no
shampoo available but there was shampoo placed underneath the sink in the bathroom to use. So we didn’t actually have to bring our own.
I read some reviews saying the wifi was very slow but it’s actually pretty fast. My speedtest read at 24 mbps for downloads. I’m guessing they upgraded it since then. The host is communicable but don’t bother calling because they won’t answer. Just message them instead and they’ll respond back right away depending on how it seems.
The condo itself is old but it’s maintained very well and there is ample parking for a rental car.
Overall, the place is clean, secure and convenient. Everything we needed was available to us.
