** For your health and safety, we utilize additional Sterilization procedures between reservations.

Our studio condo with kitchen and lanai is located in the Waikiki Grand Hotel, across the street from the Honolulu Zoo and Kapiolani Park. We have a spectacular view of Diamond Head, the park, Waikiki Beach and the ocean beyond.

Enjoy unobstructed views of Diamond Head, Kapiolani Park, the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Beach and the ocean beyond. Our building is conveniently located at one end of Waikiki. From our studio apartment on the 7th floor, you can see the pink flamingos of Honolulu Zoo, and hear the howling monkeys and early morning roar of the lions. The studio is comfortably furnished with a dining table, 4 chairs, a queen size bed, a dresser and a sofa that opens into a twin bed.
The unit also includes a 36” flat screen tv, coffee maker, microwave oven, full size refrigerator, and a two-burner electric stove.
There is also free wifi internet.
On the ground floor you will find Teddy’s Burgers, which features breakfast items as well as some of Honolullu’s best hamburgers and milk shakes. We also have a Starbucks a few doors away on Kalakaua Avenue where you can also stroll into the heart of Waikiki with its myriad cafes, restaurants and shops.
One of our personal favorites, a block away, is Wolfgang Puck Express where you can grab a wonderful, wood-fired, pizza, a variety of salads, and excellent roast chicken at reasonable prices.

The bus service is excellent and we are at a hub where you can take buses to Ala Moana, downtown Honolulu, and even around the island.
Our price INCLUDES all Hawaii accommodation taxes and cleaning fees.
Contact us through VRBO or Homeaway if you have any other questions.

Great views, good location, decent room

We enjoyed our stay at the WGH. Only downside, was the street noise. Having the slider closed helped muffle the noise, but it didn't help when you get loud cars and motorcycles going by.

Not luxury but comfortable and affordable

We had a good stay. we walked a lot since it’s on the end of the beach but the beaches were less crowded at that end too. The place is loud all night so be warned. Pool is old and rundown but we prefer the ocean anyway. Bar is on property so that’s loud too. Friendly staff, good communication, condo was clean and comfortable, view was nice next to diamond head. Would have been nice to have better beach chairs, one was broken. Lots of homeless around. We liked the bars and restaurants nearby, abc stores all very close and have everything! We didn’t have a car and had a great time but we like to walk. Bed was comfortable.

Perfect location, amazing view

Perfect location, at the end of the busy waikiki. The unit has a perfect view, balcony, the room is Big enough and got whatever you need inside. The hôtel staff is very friendly and helpful. The only bad thing i have to say is that the unit is overall a bit old and was not very clean. But will certainly come again

Waikiki Stay

The property was good. It was clean, the bed was comfortable, lifts were beneficial as it was on the 7th floor. Great view of the ocean. On the downside, it was showing its age and in need of some basic maintenance. Location was excellent - within 200m from the beach, restaurants & shops. It was busy day & night. PS.a decent broom & dust pan would have been good

Great View

The view was fantastic! The location was great, if you get a trolley ticket, it's at one end of Waikiki, so getting to the other end is a walk. As for the room, my husband and I are in our 50's and require a soft bed, we did not sleep well. It was very hot as we slept and had to buy a fan. I really hope this stays in room for other guest. I'm not sure if it was normal, because the AC was worked on the day before we left and so the room felt cooler. This was not communicated with us. One of the main reasons I stayed in this room was the stove, thought we could save some money by cooking breakfast, only one burner works so verify difficult to cook more than one item. The breaker blew when cooking and the smoke alarm went off because its right above the burner. I had to wash dishes with hand soap. Beware you have to buy bags, so make sure you bring your own, I left some paper bags but I'm sure they won't stay, also there is a cooler, beach chairs, beach towels provided so less things you have to pack. One of the other reasons I booked this VRBO was it states 25 dollar taxi ride from airport to Hotel, I was told this was from hotel to airport only, Also Not true. All in all it was a good stay, but I dont think I would stay again.

Spectacular views

First the good. . . The view from the lanai is spectacular, from sunrise over Diamond Head to the sun sinking into the Pacific. And you don’t have to look at other hotels, just the zoo, park, Diamond Head and beach. Location is perfect, one block off the beach and walking distance to everything you might need. Then the price is very good. Other properties in the area are double. Now the bad. The unit is in bad shape and probably never renovated since it was built. The ad photos are deceptive but accurate. My wife complained about the unit not being clean the entire stay. My biggest complaint was no cable TV. We tried streaming but the wifi speeds are so slow the buffering was maddening. I ran a speed test on my iphone and the Mbps rate was about one tenth my internet back home. If you like spectacular views while sitting on your lanai and saving money this is the unit for you. If you like nice, newer accommodations, this isn’t for you. Even the ice trays in the freezer had holes in them. Oh, and the hotel staff at the desk were wonderful. Mahalo

I would not waste my money

I thought I was getting a great deal on a clean and comfortable condo. The unit is in the perfect spot in Waikiki where the crowds aren’t as bad, but it is right around the corner from everything. That was the single nice thing about this unit. It was dingy, with paint peeling off the walls and cabinets, stained bedding (looked like makeup and blood) and the cabinetry was missing chunks out of it, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and squeaky. The door did not latch when you shut it unless you stood there and pulled hard/ twisted the handle several times, it appeared to close but if you pushed on lightly, it would pop right open. I woke up my first morning there and noticed orange water all over the floor below the fridge, and in between the fridge and the Tv. I opened the fridge thinking maybe something had spilled only to discover that the entire inside bottom seal area of the fridge was rusted and there was a very active leak dripping onto it and onto the floor. I wiped it up and immediately messaged the host. They responded promptly and said they would have someone come to look at it. Later the host messaged me to inform me that they needed to replace the fridge and hoped to do it during my stay. They also stated that they provided rags to wipe up the leak so I would not stain their towels. I had booked the unit for another two days but chose to leave early and stay elsewhere after nothing had been done to solve the issue more than 24 hours later. I felt unsafe taking my shoes off in this unit and did not feel comfortable with staying somewhere with rusty water all over the floor. I’m highly disappointed and feel that I wasted my time and money staying here rather than staying somewhere actually decent.

Can’t Beat The Views…!!!

Excellent location in Waikiki, with head-on views of Diamond Head, the Zoo, and the start of Kapiolani Park, with even an ocean view to the side! Great balcony to sit, especially with a cup o’ Joe to start the day with a sunrise over Diamond head, or end the day with a beer (or glass of vino) to watch the evening lights. Lots of windows! The unit itself is serviceable — smaller than the wide-angled photo depicts; older fixtures and furnishings, but totally decent for short stays. And, did I mention the views?! Smashing!! The unit abuts the elevators, but there was no noise issues whatsoever; ditto for the downstairs nightclub, either. The lobby boasted friendly Aloha service, as well! Check-in was fast. Located at the eastern edge of Waikiki, it’s convenient to everything, especially if you enjoy walks/runs in the park! We didn’t use the small kitchen, but it’s not for full meals. (And, too, it was a very convenient drive for my family to pick us up!) Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Mahalo nui loa…!! :D

Excellent location and excellent service

I was concerned about some of the previous reviews, so I contacted the property manager before we arrived to find out if problems mentioned had been taken care of. They had. The futon that had been described as "falling apart" had been replaced. The room was well-supplied, and the property management was excellent in their responsiveness. I didn't notice the street noise that was mentioned in other reviews. The location was perfect. Since it was in the center of everything, parking would have been an issue had we not paid for a reserved spot. I definitely recommend that if you have a car, unless you're willing to park some distance away and walk to the hotel when you return at night. Reviews mention an old building. Peeling paint doesn't bother me, but if it bothers you you might want to stay somewhere else. I would definitely stay here again. Also, I left my sandals, and they were great about boxing them up and shipping to me. Thank you!

Well situated for visinting Oahu

Everything was well except the management only provided one roll of toilet paper. When I went to management to get more they did do so but commented that we should buy consummables at the ABC store next door. I do expect management to provide plenty of TP. Other than that small negative everything was great
