Great location! Two blocks from beach and two blocks to bus stops. Rented a car last few days and the parking on the street was a little challenging but very doable, just pay attention to parking signs. Photos were accurate, old building but very clean and good decor. Great for anyone on a budget, one block from rich hotels but can't justify 5 times the price for being in the central location.

Good location, parking available but very limited. Guy from reception told us to move the cars from the parking lot, even though we parked there just for 15 minutes and one of us stayed by the car in order to move it, just incase any other people would like to drive out. But it was 06:30 am! We moved the cars but I find that rude.

Overall things were acceptable. The biggest issue being that the best were very uncomfortable! Add the nightlife noise to the bad beds and sleeping was a premium. Great location of walking around Waikiki is your goal.

This hotel is perfect for a short trip. The location is great, staff is very friendly and I loved that you can reserve a parking spot ahead of time. There is also NO resort fee. I would stay here again.

I love the fact that everything is so nearby. They don't call it Waikiki "Central" Hotel for nothing. You literally have food, shopping, the beach, etc within a block away from you. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking is a plus and only $25/day which is reasonable. Overall a great stay. I would definitely book again in the future.

The room served its purpose. Quick stay before going to another island. Small room. Parking was tough the first night. I had paid for a reservation to park. When we got there after hours, there were no spots. Parked on the street with others. I got a parking ticket.
The staff was looking into what they can do.
If you want no frills room one block of Waikiki Beach this is the place.

Amazing spot. Walking distance from the beach, food trucks, & cafes. Very limited parking but there’s some structures a few blocks away where you can park over night. Small quiet place. Didn’t really see other people too much but it shows how chill the hotel was. The inside was clean and didn’t smell bad. My only complaint was the balcony. Nice view but there was moldy water puddling up on the floor due to leaks. Other than that, I definitely recommend.

Central location, few minutes walking to the beach or few minutes the other way to take theBus. Able to come back to take a break or take a quick shower between activities.
Everything looked and smelled clean. Bath towels were very soft and you can borrow beach towels from the lobby during your stay.
We felt safe walking around even late night and early morning before sunrise. You need your room key to get into the elevator or stairwell.
Can be a bit loud outside with the food trucks at night and the garbage trucks in the morning, but we just needed a clean, convenient spot that we could afford. Would stay again : )
