    The price was cheaper than most hotels in the area. The room was big and comfortable. Lovely pool area and lovely staff. There is a kitchenette but not utensils. It only had a sink, mini fridge, microwave and 2 paper cups. We had to buy paper plates, glad I brought my own cutlery. The shower was mouldy, the carpets never get vacuumed, had to ask for a hair ball to be removers and smudges on the mirror. The was only a hanging wardrobe, no drawers or shelves, I had to live out of my suitcase on the floor for the week. The hallway carpet is filthy, don’t walk around without shoes anywhere.

    Valet is non existent they don’t have valet they send you over to the hotel down the street and they still charge 50$ a night for valet parking. No elevators so if you get put on one of the upper floors have fun packing all your bags up, there wasn’t anyone to take them up for you. Will not ever stay there again

    I wish I didn’t stay here but I was trying to save money. It still wasn’t worth it. Don’t stay here!! The walls were paper thin! I could hear everything and we heard people screaming and fighting all night at like 3-5 am. I couldn’t get any sleep. The pool was not working, water was green and closed for our entire 4 day trip and it was the main reason I booked this hotel. There was a cockroach in our room, and the bathroom stunk so bad like mold and mildew and there was mold everywhere. Our room also faced the apartments next door and they had cameras so we didn’t have any privacy being on the balcony. I was sad the whole time we were in the room. This hotel was not it.

    Off the beaten track is this little gem of a hotel. A small three story Hotel, with a seven-tees vibe. Super relaxed and something completely different from the standard massive Waikiki resorts

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    staff was great. The bar was cool. Excellent location. Pool looked a little dirty. Room isn’t that nice (but it is comfortable ) and no parking inside the hotel.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I liked the bar. The food and drinks from there were good. The pool was terrible, not clean at all. I swam in it and regretted it big time. I couldn’t really sleep due to noise from a nearby bar till 1.00 am that could be heard from the room.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very cute hotel. No elevator to the rooms but the staff are super nice and brought my luggage up for me.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Can be loud at night due to the speakeasy music/speaker. Over all is great.

    When we arrived the room was clean and loved having a bar downstairs. Staff was friendly and helpful.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We loved the vibe here, staff were very nice. We didn’t use the pool at all as we were at the beach most of the time.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Decent and affordable stay. Stayed in a double bed in the building behind the front desk. Super thin door separating my room. Generally an older hotel they tried to "remodel." One day they ran out of beach towels. Staff always friendly and great location.

    The room was nice. I did have a problem with the stairs as my room was on the 2nd floor. I noticed the hallway carpet was dirty for the first few days but they cleaned the carpet before I left. It was comfortable and in a good location

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room smell like smoking and I brought 2 kids and i have to check out the hotel right away. Coz the rooms are very dirty and smell bad. Also no elevator and you have to lift your luggage by yourself: alot of drunk people. Not safe with kids. Receptionists said he will refund one day for us since we don’t stay after seeing smell room and drunk people. However they don’t refund it. Very bad.the room are not cheap prices too.
