We had a great time staying here! The location is ideal, on the less crowded end of Waikiki near Diamond Head, within walking distance of the Zoo, Aquarium, and of course the beach. The room was clean and comfortable. Joyce provided all the info we needed. Highly recommended!

Great Stay

This was the perfect place to stay! Convenient to everything Waikiki including the Zoo, beaches, shopping, restaurants and bus stops. The room was compact but had everything I needed including a small fridge/freezer combo and a microwave. If you stay here, make sure to check out the 10th floor balcony- the perfect viewing spot for watching sunsets and fireworks. Would definitely stay here again.

Awsome stay in Waikiki VRBO

Love the location and the suite is great. Wish they provided Beach Towels, if people take them or lose them, the owner could deduct the cost from the deposit.

Overall good experience

We’ve stayed at this hotel previously and enjoy the location. Communication was great with only a couple hiccups. The biggest downside to our particular room is that there was a window AC unit that was blocked by a wardrobe in the room. Unfortunately, that meant that air wasn’t directly coming into the room. we had to get a fan to try to angle the air into the room in order to keep the room cool. The room is small, so don’t expect a large hotel room. And unfortunately, we got a room that faced other buildings this time around. But for the money spent and the location, it was all well worth it.

Not comfortable

Bed and pillows too hard; no bathroom sink - had to use kitchen sink. No instructions on heating oven. Metal pots can not be used in the microwave, too big for other oven. No stove. The TV would have been great, but the cable kept freezing about every 15 minutes. Patio okay, if you like the view of other buildings. One of the elevators was under repair the whol time and the other one was iffy.

Grand Waikiki

The Grand Waikiki is a lovely smaller hotel that is less than a block away from the Beach, across from the Zoo. The hotel is clean, everyone is super friendly. It has an amazing view from the sundeck on the 10th floor. There is a pool, restaurant on the main floor. Just make sure to bring ear plugs, our unit faced the back of the building and the running of air conditioning units was awful. That was my only complaint. I would recommend this hotel and would return in the future. You can park at the hotel for about $27.00 per night or free parking on the other side of the zoo which we did for most of our 2 week stay. Enjoy

Just right. The location was ideal.

The set up and check in, was easy and well laid out. Keyless door a big plus. My unit was clean and neat, kitchenette had everything I needed and more. Really appreciated the Brita water pitcher too. Property Manager, Joyce Lignell was awesome, providing some tips on the area. She was easy to Communicate with too. Thank you Joyce!

Conveniently close to the beach

Just minutes from the beach! Super convenient because it was located near Monserrat where we nearly parked every day for free, we could walk to most places in Waikiki, and ABC stores just below for stuff we forgot. The studio came with a beach chair, floatie and beach mat which was nice. Basically had everything we needed + basic pantry. It was also very clean. Only wish there was a full length mirror for getting ready. Also there wasn't much ventilation for cooking. The AC is kind of loud as well.

Too small with things that BARELY work

While the location of this condo is great, the condo itself is underwhelming. The shower pressure is extremely low, the refrigerator barely keeps food and drink cold, and the bed was uncomfortable. Plus, there was a minimum of towels and soap, and I ran out of soap. There were many other little things that were missing since it wasn't a standard hotel room. Believe me, you are much better off booking a traditional hotel room than you are using VRBO/Homeaway.

About the host

Hosted by Joyce Lignell

Host profile image
Aloha my name is Dave. I own a 30 acre Ranch on the North Shore (Hauula). I purchased this condo/studio years ago and have recently remodeled it with new granite countertops and cabinets. My field is in construction and I love to travel.

Why they chose this property

The Waikiki Grand Hotel is indeed a convenient location in Waikiki. I bought this room to have a place in town since I live on the North Shore. When I'm not staying at the condo I offer it for rent to others who are traveling.

What makes this property unique

directly across the street from both the zoo, Kapiolani park and the world famous Waikiki beach!
