About this property

Studio in the Middle of Waikiki, Short walk to beach

Located in the Aqua Aloha Surf hotel, you can't beat the location- just a 5-minute walk to Waikiki Beach and 1 block to international marketplace, shopping, and restaurants. Room is great for 1-2 people looking for a simple place to relax after a day of fun in the sun- for convenience there is a microwave, Keurig coffee maker, and a mini fridge. Even though this is in a hotel, it is still a privately owned condo, so you'll have complete privacy with no housekeeping, and no added resort fees.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Insects, “pests”, geckos, and anything else of such nature are a valuable part of our ecosystem. Just like any other host, or hotel, we routinely treat for household insects, while it is rare to see such inside, it is always a possibility given our environment. This is especially the case if food, trash, or dirty dishes are left out. Please understand that they are naturally occurring and do not reflect upon the cleanliness of the unit. Unless harmful, or in excess, it does not constitute cause for a refund.

The room was comfortable but sparse, and clean. A lot of street noise, but very quiet as far as “inside the hotel” noise goes. Very conveniently located for restaurants and eateries; Waikiki Beach 3 blocks away. Slept well. All in all, a good place to stay.

Door code was wrong but host responded within minutes with the correct code. AC worked good, room finishes quite tired. Could really use an upgrade.

A sweet spot in Waikiki

If you’re looking for a reasonably priced spot to stay in downtown Waikiki, this should be your first choice. Conveniently located steps off of the beautiful Ala Wei canal…one block from Kūhiō Avenue which is filled with shops and restaurants…two blocks from Kalākaua Avenue with even more shops and restaurants, and three blocks from the beach. The unit manager is very attentive to detail and responds immediately to any requests. The unit comes with beach towels and chairs as well. My wife and I spent 14 nights there and loved it so much that we will definitely book again!

Great little place!

Loved the location in Waikiki, was very clean and nicely set up! We really were just looking for a nice place to sleep at night and this exceeded it. The balcony is amazing and we enjoyed sitting out there. One thing that was rough was the parking situation. There was as no available parking in the garage our whole stay and it was very expensive parking wise, we paid about $40/day. Other than that, almost everything was within walking distance.

Good location for walking around Waikīkī. Comfy bed. Some folks are allergic to feather pillows. Very noisy area. Unit could benefit greatly from a little sprucing up. Bathroom needs hand towel bar, hooks for clothes in shower area. New shower stall with something to hang onto would be great. Think about people of all ages. Get rid of the nasty, peeling wallpaper and popcorn ceiling. A chair inside, luggage rack. Easier access to Keurig. Owners should consider what they would find acceptable and pleasant when traveling.

Not for us

This VRBO studio is significantly run down and would need many improvements for us to feel comfortable and relaxed here.Location is excellent. Check in and check out was very easy and efficient.Brian, the property manager was amazing. He was very quick and attentive to the issues that we brought forward. He actually came over on a Sunday. That being said, it did not improve the general poor state of the studio. We stayed only 2 nights and decided to find other lodging that were more comfortable for us. It was a costly but important change for our well-being.
