Great Location

Cute apartment, easy walk to the beach and shops. Bus stop is right outside. Mark was obliging when we requested a early check in iron and towels ( unfortunately we found these later on in the bathroom cupboards) Bit of confusion with who we talk to about changing the linen and emptying the rubbish. We requested at the front desk on the 3rd day and it wasnt done until the 5th.I think it could've been made clearer to us upon check in or at the time of booking as to who takes care of these things while we're there. Communication was only through messaging, felt like this could be better. FYI front desk only give out laundry powder, nothing else. The bathroom could do with an upgrade, The bathtub needs a good scrub and the bench has rot behind the tap. Lovely to have air con but it's so loud, it felt like we were still on the airplane. Had a issue with the heat pump dripping, saturated the carpet which wasn't a pleasant smell to sleep in. Took two attempts to fix it. Lovely place to stay, just a few minor things to consider. This is the whole point of giving feedback. Thank you. front desk

Good lodging for the price in dowtown Honolulu. However you realy dont need a car in that area, because you can't find parking anywhere. Enjoyed the location walking distance to most needed stores.

Great location but very dated and in need of deep cleaning

Location is amazing and the bed is very comfortable. The condo is very dated which is fine as long as it’s clean but it was not clean. The floor tile in the kitchen had lots of grimy spots like it wasn’t washed, had to scrub the shower before using it and there is mold in the bathroom. I contacted the management company about all these issues but haven’t heard back at all. Also, the pool area is not maintained to the point of not being usable.

Good location

Room is small, but adequate. Had to use stool from the kitchen to put next to my side of bed to put my phone and c-pac. Location was good, close to beach, Diamond Head, and other locations. Washer and dryer is in basement and works very well. The shower in the bathroom was not great, wish it was better, you need to open window to have ventilation. The bed was very comfortable, restaurant in bldg was good, so was the bar. Front desk was helpful and the rooftop deck had great views of Diamond head, zoo and beach.

Wonderful!

I was impressed by the level of cleanliness and attention to detail in the room.The location of the hotel couldn't have been better. Being so close to the beach and everything else made exploring the area a breeze. And let's not forget about the breathtaking views! Watching the sunset and sunrise from the top 10th floor was an experience I'll never forget. The view of Diamond Head was simply stunning. I can confidently say that I will be returning to this place in the future. Your hospitality, combined with the outstanding amenities and prime location, make it an unbeatable choice for anyone visiting the area. Thank you for making my stay so memorable.

Lovely studio apartment for a couple or single traveling

The perfect studio apartment if you’re wanting to stay close enough to Waikiki for convenience, yet far enough that you can enjoy some peace and quiet. The beach is nicer here than in the heart of Waikiki too. We walked everywhere, and we also hired a car for the days we wanted to explore the island. There is limited free parking in the streets but you have to be careful about where you park. Being from Australia we had never heard of the “fire hydrant” rule and apparently parked within 10 metres of one and got our hire car towed. We thought it had been stolen! The receptionist downstairs helped us and we figured out where it had been towed. Paid $300 and picked it up. Situated across from the zoo, you can see some of the animals from afar when standing atop the rooftop deck. We absolutely loved the sunsets from this view too! The apartment is just the same as in the photos. We stayed for 2 weeks, so we decided to buy groceries and cook some of our meals. The apartment has limited but enough cooking utensils that I was able to whip up the home cooked meals we were craving. The mattress was comfortable. Highly recommend this place. The only thing is that there is a gay bar in the building, it only seemed to be open late on one of the nights during our stay though and once we got inside our apartment and closed the door we couldn’t hear any noise (this comment is only relevant if you’re either worried about noise, or if you’re looking for a fun place to drink close by).

Great Stay!

Great place to stay and great location. Just a couple blocks from the beach and right across the street from the zoo. The bar on the 2nd floor was a lot of fun. The room was clean and well stocked and comfortable. Definitely recommend to anyone wanting an affordable, comfortable, clean place to stay.

Not as described. Very disappointing

The room we stayed in was overwhelmingly dirty. The room was not as the pictures entail; the floor was dirty, bed sheets were stained, bathroom sink counter was moldy/rotted, kitchen lights did no work, there were holes on the wall which were poorly covered some being covered with tissue paper. With all this, some of these things could have been resolved; however, we did not reach out to the host as we were not staying there for an extended period of time. Also, note that if you do not book directly with the hotel they will not provide any services such as fresh towels. Needless to say, I will probably never trust vrbo ratings - as this had an 9+/10 rating - and will spend more money to ensure a cleaner space.

Run Down in terrible need of fixing up and new management

There was a tissue shoved in a hole that went from our condo to the one next door. If I need to say more, peeling paint all over the ceiling. Missing pieces of floor. Hair in the shower - like a lot. You could see daylight around the entire door to the condo from inside. And rotting bathroom counter. None of this would have been able to be fixed while we were there so no use contacting property manager. Luckily we were only here 4 nights before moving and we spent most of our time out but definitely not a unit I would stay in again. The location was absolutely perfect and it was easy to get to our room not overly busy. The community balcony was also nice. A couple of restaurants inside the hotel and parking was expensive but very easy. Our checkin was far from contactless and did not have a door code like was sent to me in instructions.

Waikiki - family visit

We really enjoyed our time in Waikiki. While we came to visit family living in Mililani, we were able to enjoy the restaurants and shops that were so close to us. The beach was mesmerizing. We loved going for walks around the Kapiolani park neighborhood, and locally owned businesses and eateries. We especially enjoyed LuLu’s.

Remarkable

Check in is at 3:00pm, but they will watch your bags while you explore. This place was on the main drag, so it was easy to find a bite to eat. Shopping, eating and activities are all within walking distance. The beach is across the street and we never waited more than five minutes for a LYFT driver. The room had everything we needed and was very clean and cool. I felt at home in this room. It gets very subdued in the evening, no loud guests or other noises. I will stay here again when I return to Waikiki. My wife left our jackets in the room and I figured they were gone for good, but they are taking the time to mail them to us at home here in SoCal. I’m just stoked on how cool and stress free this stay has been.

Perfect spot by the beach!

We loved our stay at Mark’s place in Waikiki! Everything was accurate to photos and descriptions and it was clean and conveniently located to anything you may need. Check in and check out and fast and easy. There was a small issue with one of the dryers in the laundry room, but once we informed that staff, they were on it with a quickness! Super friendly and helpful staff on site. If you plan on renting a car and driving around the island a lot, I suggest biting the bullet and paying for the parking spot. I can’t imagine having to look for parking and walk all the way over to the building after a long day in the sun. The parking spot is WELL worth it. Just be aware that the spot is kind of tight to get into, so I wouldn’t rent anything bigger than a midsize SUV. The only other thing to note was that the water was turned off for a few hours one morning, but it ended up not being so bad. Mark informed us of it a couple days prior and signs were posted in the building. All in all, a great spot that contributed to a great trip! Mahalo to Mark and the staff at the Waikiki Grand for their kindness and hospitality! Aloha!
