At the quieter end of Waikiki but still in the middle of the action. Conveniently located- short walk to most places. ABC convenience stores are a minute a minute or two walk from the hotel. Restaurants within a short walk or Teddy's burger joint downstairs. Honolulu Zoo is just on the opposite of the road with it's convenient carpark. Beach is only a stone throw away and you can see it from the balcony. A nice view of Diamond Head from the balcony too. Room's decor is dated but the layout is practical. A home away from home. Can make quick meals in the kitchenette, full-sized fridge for all your drinks.
Really enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
Just a caution about the noise from the nightclub from the level below, but it did not bother us as we were there at the club most nights. The noise from the aircon drowns out the noise from the club, and also when the balcony door is closed. We were aware of this before we booked, so it was no surprise.
The host was very accommodating as she allowed us to check in early as we arrived early in the morning. You can store your bags at reception. Quick responses from the host really made things easy!
