Everything is great.
The place is fully loaded , great location
The place is old , you can hear the neighbors from time to time but nothing unbearable.
Bed was great! A cloud ☁️
I’ll return here when I’m back
Check in process was very easy. Host communicated very quickly with any concerns I had. I liked that there was an alarm system. The bed and couch beds were extremely comfortable. Overall enjoyed my stay and would absolutely love to come back another time!
Cozy Srudio ! Right in the heart of the city.
Just perfect for my daughter and me during our five days day! Attentive Host and wonderful facility with great amenities provided! We loved our time and would definitely use this place again!
Condo is literally in the center of Waikiki and so close to all the restaurants and bars it has to offer. The photos and description are exactly as noted in the listing and the bed was very comfortable. The full kitchen and dining table were also a nice feature of the unit.
This property had all the essentials (wifi, laundry, kitchen/cooking supplies, and a balcony with a view of the island mountains) and was very close to the beach and all of the activities in Waikiki.
The shower pressure as mentioned was very low which meant a little more planning in getting ready due to longer showers but it was terrible. Would recommend for someone looking for a simple stay option in Waikiki.
This place is even better than the online listing makes it out to be! The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could want - rice cooker, food processor, mixing bowls, everything you might use it’s there. There is a beach umbrella and boogie boards in the closet. Beach towels! Extra linens. Right next to everything! This is one of the best rentals I’ve done.
My parter and I stayed a week at the Hawaiian King in May 2023. The building is classic, old-school Hawaii. The courtyard and pool area is a nice place to enjoy morning coffee. The unit is updated and clean. The included amenities were great! Keurig for coffee and plenty of beach towels, mats, boogie boards and chairs for the beach. If you like the hustle and bustle of Waikiki but want your own little getaway, this is your spot. We will definitely be back!
The actual unit is nice. The description is exactly what the property is. The building is classic 1958 Hawaii. It's surrounded by high end hotels and resorts with high end shopping and dining. This building is not high end though. It's classic and dated, like me. Which, I thought was perfect for our vacation accommodations. Besides, it's Hawaii. You should only need a place to sleep.

dirty
the ac smelled like cigarettes and the fridge like fish
We stayed for 2 weeks while visiting family and needed something close by and affordable. This place worked for us as it met both criteria. And it has A/C that actually cools the whole place! Nothing super nice or overly clean…it did the job. A few things to note though: the water pressure is terrible (due to the age of the building), a few things were broken or needed fixed (nothing major), and the unit is right over the downstairs bar, so we had many nights of listening to loud drunken rants and yelling, even over our sound machine. That being said, the location is convenient to many things and the price was right.

The place was exactly like the pictures. I wish it were a little cleaner as I found hair in the shower and the building it’s in is quite old and needs renovations. The place also smelt like cigarettes and I don’t believe it was the property itself but, coming in from the outside. As far as location goes you are in downtown Waikiki so, great access to the beach and places to shop. Also VRBO doesn’t do a great job stating that there is no parking for that particular building so, prepare to pay for overnight in a parking garage nearby.
Great location, spacy place, awesome communication with the owner, earlier and late check out without problems! Recommend for young people due to the location in the center. Cons - parking (we did two blocks away at Ross, 12$ voucher then comes to $33 per 24hrs). Apartment comes with all - very well equipped kitchen, beach towels, beach chairs, sharp knives! 👍 ..... Could be a little cleaner (sorry). The water pressure is really bad but it is an old building and not the owners fault. It worked fine for us! Overall great!
After arriving tired and hungry we were dissapointed to see the outside condition of building. Thought for sure we had made a mistake. The bar in the lobby was in full swing and people were standing outside smoking various things. The building is older and not what is expected from the condo photos. After getting lock box open and making our way upstairs it was such a relief. The condo was exactly as pictured. Very neat and clean. we had no hot water in bathroom sink and very low water pressure as well. Hot water was great in shower and kitchen. WIFI did not support multiple devices. Overall great stay and location !

Ok for the money
The place is nice inside but the building is very dated. The only truly bad thing is the water pressure. It is awful and if you have long hair you will need to fill a jug with water to rinse your hair. It’s an old building in Waikiki. If you are going to Waikiki on budget, which is not a good idea, this is a good place. I knew what I was getting into so I wasn’t shocked. There were also a lot fruit flies even though I didn’t have food. I was by myself on business so it was ok. If I had taken a girlfriend, I would have had a problem on my hands.

Waikiki 2024
This was my fifth time to be in Hawai’i on the island of Oahu. The one good thing is there was a bidet. When I asked the property manager to ensure it was clean for my arrival, he offered to give me a full refund for his amount but he doesn’t likely realize there are fees of more than $1000.00USD that would not have been refunded.
I bought cleaners, a mop, Lysol wipes and cleaned the best I could so it was liveable as I was there for one month.
This was the most expensive and the worst experience. The garbage trucks woke us every morning at 5:00am, the bar was sometimes noisy, the restaurant staff next door were loud and noisy(pots and pans clanging) The patio doors didn’t shut properly so it was like we were outside and when the wind blew, they rattled all night.

Not What We Expected
My partner and I stayed at this property for 1 week. The contactless check in went smoothly but upon entering the unit, we realized that it was not clean. There were ants in the kitchen due to crumbs left behind, the refrigerator smelled like fish and the toilet was dirty. There was no hot water in the bathroom sink and very little hot water in the shower. There was also a leak underneath the bathroom sink and a bowl strategically placed under the sink to catch the dripping water which tells me this host was aware of the leak prior to our stay. Although we received a great price for this rental compared to other accommodations in the area, we would have much rather paid more money for a more comfortable stay. The location was great and walkable but we will not be staying here again.
