    We stayed here in 4 different rooms as we returned here 3 times within a trip. Once we were woken up by maintenance drilling on 9th floor city view room so I asked for a higher floor room. 15th floor is already calm , no noise from the street , but the hostel next to the hotel is still noisy. Earplugs can help in sleeping. Don’t accept room on 9th floor overlooking the pool . There is a strange and huge noise coming from within the hotel (airco, ventilation , etc I don’t know ) it’s loud like hell and repeats ever 10 seconds ! Our experience from room 914. 15th floor and 18th floor city view room is much better . Double queen rooms are not really proper for 4 adults , not even 2 adults, 2 kids, beds are too little :/ but still ok if your child is calm :) room is too small to accommodate 3 big suitcases but you don’t have shelves to place your clothes on them either . Max pax is 2 , I think . Price is great if you go 4 persons but in fact it is not comfortable for 4 persons :)

    Location is good , price is quite good. Atmosphere of the 60ies is great . The Deck view and food is great! Don’t forget to prebook it is always crowded.

    I didn't realize it was a dog hotel. If we had known we wouldn't have booked simply because my son has allergies. However, our room and the hotel was totally clean. I never would've imagined that dogs had stayed there. Also there is a hostel with a roof top bar on one side of the hotel that is VERY noisy at night. Luckily we always travel with earplugs. The poolside bar and restaurant is very beautiful and nice to visit, but we didn't have a great food experience.

    Loved the location. It was within easy walking distance to the beach, even if you are carrying chairs and boogie boards, which the hotel furnished as well as beach towels. And there are two ABC convenience stores close by in case you need anything. We literally walked up from the beach to grab some snorkels really fast while our teen kids were still hanging at the beach. This hotel has GREAT amenities and is beautiful.

    The property had the surfing theme as well as the historic theme to it.

    I liked the Quirky feel and look of it as against large commercial hotels in area.

    Waiting for the lift!! The tour desk adds a high supplement to surf/ SUP lessons, you are better to book direct with Obama Surf project.

    We loved our stay here, great place for family! The restaurant does a good breakfast. The complimentary yoga class was really enjoyable. Our room was excellent, we had great views of diamond head, it was spacious and very comfortable. The free extras were a nice touch! Easy walk to the beach, bus stop and zoo!

    $50 charge for parking and there was no parking available …we were tired upon arrival and wanted to use check in as quick as possible and web were sent to another parking lot that was also full. We had to be driving around looking for a parking lot that had some parking available. Once we found one, we had to walk back to the hotel, which was annoying because it was past 9pm. Our room was in the M floor (our window was directly in front of restaurant or hotel deck adjacent to our hotel and it was very noise). We were all tired and wanted to rest but the parking situation and the noise level at our room were very annoying and I was not happy about that.

    The rooms were clean, we were received with a leí at registration, that was a nice gesture. The kids loved it! The hotel is within walking distance of the beach and many restaurants, which was very convenient.

    The bathroom is old style. The hotel is too big for the reception people to really care. For example, I could not get a wine glass in the room.

    Spacious room. The view from the room is really nice. The pool and restaurant are ok.

    Nothing that I can think of now. The hotel is the end of Waikiki beach so if you go shopping it's gonna be 15-20min walk. You'll need Uber to go to Ala Moana. Better to plan ahead considering that.

    I like cleanness of the room and shower! The shower was the best in US so far! You can get enough hot water quickly. I also like the location. It was close to Diamond Head and I could see it from the window.

    Great location. Right by Walls, the Honolulu Zoo (which is also the only cheap parking on Waikiki), and easy walk to all of Waikiki. Deck is a great restaurant with panoramic views of Diamond Head.

    The one time we tried using the valet service ($50 a night) it was full. Was directed to the zoo parking lot across the street, worked out as it was cheaper, but can be difficult to find a parking spot in peak times. Most parking options in the area are either expensive or inconveniet, valet staff were very apologetic, not a big deal, but something to be aware of.

    Fantastic location, on edge of main tourist area. Great views of diamond head and ocean. Easy access to beach, shops, restaurants. ~15-20 minutes walk to Safeway, snorkel bobs, Leonards bakery and Rainbow drive-in.

    The balcony's door was not thick enough so we could hear some noise from the outside.

    The location is great, at the very end of Waikiki so a bit less crowdy than the central part and within 2 minutes from the beach . The view from the room on Diamond Head was excellent.

    Pool is rather small and not appealing. Beach is close, but it's not the one we wanted to spend most of the time on. Rooms with city view also face hostel and it's noisy in the evenings.

    Nice relaxed atmosphere , helpful staff. Good coffee, good facilities and a lot of places on 1st and 2nd floor to spend time with friends. Beds are comfy.
