kitchen

It was a nice and  a basic hotel which I was looking for in Honolulu , because all the hotels I looked at on line was kitchenette, it’s a vacation I’m not doing no cooking, the only problem I had was lukewarm water it literally too 30min to get hot, but it is  walking distance from everything  slap in the middle and also they don’t charge you a resort fee a plus

It takes awhile for the water to heat up

Location is incredibly convenient - short walk to the beach, musubi shop, poke restaurant, McDonald's, bars, and bus stops.

Room decor is average. Rooms have mini fridges and microwaves and are clean. My room had a small outdoor balcony with two chairs and a table. 

No beach view, the hotel is surrounded by taller hotels and condos.

There are no resort fees, and no daily housekeeping (though I think you can ask for it on an exception basis). You can get replacement towels, coffee, garbage bags, toiletries at the front desk. Front lobby also has a variety of beach chairs, beach towels, beach mats, and boogey boards to borrow. 

Front desk is only open 8AM to 8PM so plan to get the aforementioned supplies at the start of the day or when you return from sightseeing. 

Staff was very friendly, helping with restaurant recommendations, bus stop locations, and early morning checkout logistics. 

The one negative for me was street noise. I could hear garbage trucks and a moving company at 4AM. 

Overall, it's a great sightseeing base if you don't need an ocean view. You can spend the savings on food / beverages / tours / shopping.

Convenient and economical but beware of street noise

Just around the corner from Waikiki beach, close to everything, clean and comfortable. And so much cheaper than all the resorts around you.  And no hidden resort fee, thank goodness. I stayed in fancier Waikiki resorts while on the same trip, but enjoyed the ease, location and overall value of this the most.

Easy, value for money, clean - and that location!

It's is situated perfectly in Waikiki no more than 2 blocks from beach, bus stop, tour pick up & trolley.  This place is perfect for people who want to save money & just need place to sleep and keep your stuff while you explore the island.  It's comfortable, simple & staff is amazing. Yes the lobby closes at 8, but if you have an issue you can reach the manager on call & they will take care of you.

Great way to save in Hawaii

Although the rooms are very dated, the Waikiki Central was a great place to stay!  The staff are very friendly, the bed was comfy and there was a great shower!  The room was roomy as well.  It was a five minute walk to Waikiki Beach.  The area has lots of resaurants and shops and was busy but not crowded so very enjoyable.  I recommend this hotel when visiting the Waikiki area of Honolulu.

Waikiki Central was a Good Place to Stay

Very satisfied. The room was clean, recently renovated, a good size and quiet. There was a TV, fridge and coffee making facilities (albeit Hawaiian coffee is terrible). 

The hotel doesn't have a restaurant or other such facilities. It is mainly just a place to sleep and rest. However it served these limited purposes well and its central location means that there is an abundance of other facilities nearby.

Excellent Budget Hotel

Given this is an older building and in some senses is a "budget" hotel, it was a really comfortable place to stay.  I appreciate the transparency on pricing; it was great value for the location.   The location is stupendous - less than 2 blocks to the public beach park and right in the middle of all things Waikiki.  The rooms were comfortable with all the amenities although it's the smallest shower I've ever seen!  The front desk staff were super nice and had a lot of extras available in the office such as electric kettle, boogie boards, beach towels, etc.   The one minor gripe I have is that in both king rooms that our party of four booked, there was no bedside table and lamp on the left side of the bed, despite there being plenty of room.  They could easily and cheaply add these.

Couple of tips - if you have a smaller car, it will fit in the very small car park more easily.  We unfortunately had a big three-row SUV that required quite a lot of maneuvering.    We might have just skipped the car altogether but needed it for a couple of excursions.  If the room doesn't have what you need, just ask as the staff seemed really accommodating. A breath of fresh air compared to the service seen elsewhere these days.   

Very convenient and quite comfortable, great staff

Room is always stocked with essentials. Clean and the view is excellent Very easy and accommodating as close to the airport.  Parking is very easy and always a place to park no matter what time of day/night

Family visit

We enjoyed our stay here. You don't get the frills and luxuries of a hotel (this feels more like a nicer motel), but the price is fair for what is a stellar location just a couple of blocks from Waikiki Beach. Our room was clean, comfortable, and very spacious. The rooms have been recently remodeled, and the bathrooms were especially beautiful. The front desk staff were very friendly. There are also coin-op laundry machines on site and paid parking spots. There are beach towels and beach equipment available on a first-come, first-serve basis. My only gripes were that the front desk staff are not there overnight and the sheets and pillows had a damp, musty smell to them. We'd still come back. 

Good option for budget travelers 

The location cannot be beat.  You walk out the door, turn right, and you can see the beach.  All the restaurants and shops are close. 
The staff was friendly and helpful.  We arrived early and were able to check in.   We left late and they kept our luggage in the office after we checked out.  They have loaner beach chairs, umbrellas, etc.  
The room was clean and had everything we needed.  The bathroom was modern with a nice shower. 
The price was great.  This hotel does not have the views or amenities of the resort places, but with beaches, restaurants and shops so close, we didn't need those extras.
