Pretty nice stay

This is a great location! They provided beach chairs and towels and snorkel gear which was great. It could use some nicer pillows and a little updating but overall we were happy with it and where it was located. Make sure to reserve parking as we ended up having to park across the street at the zoo which was a little problematic bc 3 out of 4 of the pay to park machines didn't work.

Mostly Paradise

location was perfect. Views of Diamond Head, ocean and park were enjoyed from our balcony. Not so perfect was loud music floating up from bars at street level until wee hours of morning and delivery trucks arriving with noisy doors and deliveries early in the morning. Hard to sleep through that every day including Sunday. Room was not as clean or updated as it could have been but had amenities for beach going, cooking and enjoying the balcony. All in all we enjoyed our stay in Waikiki.

Awesome View!!

This place has a double balcony with a wide view of Diamondhead, zoo, park and a little beach too. Place is clean and management professional. It's 2 floors up from the bar so be prepared for some music at night and a bit of street noise, but if you don't mind that it's a super deal...

Great stay!

We stayed at Mark’s place for 6 days. The place was cozy, but perfect for our needs. I loved the two balconies! Great views! Yes, there is a bar two floors below, but we enjoyed listening to the music from live entertainers. We had no trouble sleeping. Boogie boards, sand toys, towels, a small cooler (that leaks) and snorkeling gear was provided. Everything is within walking distance, but we did have a car that we parked across the street at the zoo for $1 an hour. Don’t forget to go up to the terrace for magnificent views!

Noisy, great location to beach, amazing deck

The reason we booked was the location to the beach, and it did not disappoint. Less than a 3 minute walk to the beach and the views were just as great. The rooftop deck was perfect! Only complaint was the noise. Not only bar noise, you heard all the street noise and daily morning delivery trucks. New bed, futon and pillows could also go a long way. All things considered, we still slept and enjoyed our stay. But I would chose somewhere less noisy next time.

The view and location were good(Book parking early!!!)

The room is as advertised. It is small and if we had spent more time in the room, it would have been too small. Since we were out and about most of the time, it was fine. Only problem with this location was the noise. I expected the bar on site, but the street noise was bad. Woke up one night to an apparently drunk man walking down the street yelling profanities. Other nights were cars racing their engines at the stop light. Not sure if it was the person or the computer, but getting a parking pass was an extremely long process. Not to mention that there was only one spot left. Call ahead and book parking if you want it.

Perfectly situated across from the beach and zoo with stunning ocean and Diamond head views

Waikiki has become sooo expensive, especially for Canadians, it's amazing and rare to find such an affordable suite with every amenity you could need, plus stunning views of Diamond head, Kapiolani park, the zoo and Waikiki beach all from two huge balconies. Plus, you could take your happy hour cocktail and food up to the 10 th floor and enjoy the totally amazing views on the roof top patio anytime, particularly at sunset on lovely patio furniture set up for guests. Everyone at the hotel is very friendly and helpful, as were Rob, Dave and Mark, the owners and hosts. Super fast responses to any issues at all like, is there any free parking in the area etc. We had an suv for two weeks and parked a block away on Monsarrat for free throughout our entire two week stay. There's no bugs, tons of beach towels, lots of hot water for showers, beach chairs, beach glassware, French press, toaster oven, microwave, cooking utensils, fridge, two great ice makers, etc. Good Wi-fi and HD satellite tv. The AC worked perfectly. There's an amazing burger place right in the hotel and you can phone your order in. There's even a quiet pool, a clean laundry room, drink machines etc. We had two queen beds, lots of room and can't think of many cons whatsoever. Considerations for some people are that the unit is two floors above an open balcony bar (with 2$ tacos on Tuesday) so the live music and street noise is significant and noticeable in the evenings. That being said, my daughter and I didn't have trouble getting to sleep with AC on at 9 pm and there must be some agreement to turn off music by a certain time, say midnight? The buildling is older so the plumbing issues cause the tub not to drain quickly while you're showering. As well, you can't use the toaster oven and microwave simultaneously or you overload the breaker. Front desk is fast at resetting if you call them. There are a lot of choices in the Grand Hotel, some more upscale than others. But, if you are fine with clean, cheerful, cottagy or dorm like accommodations I would choose this unit everytime because of the balconies, views, space, two beds, etc. And the hotel is very secure, well maintained and homey. Everyone is very neighborly. Beats staying at the noisy crowded, push and shove Hilton or Sheraton where there are no palm trees and parks on their beach to speak of, as well as exponentially more people.

Perfectly positioned

The property was welcoming, clean and tidy. Exactly as described. Position position position!! The views from the roof top were fantastic along with the ice machine and seating. The room was as described, our only real fault was the aircon needs upgrading - we purchased a fan from Walmart to get us through steamy nights, block out curtaining would add huge value in the mornings to block out the heat and sun.. cleanliness around the hotel could use some upgrading. I fell in a pot hole which lead to an extended hospital stay on returning Tom Australia. Be extra careful around the streets close to the hotel.

部屋はひろくて使いやすい

今までワイキキグランドホテルのコンドミニアムに何回か泊まりました。前回、と今回は同じオーナーさんでしたが何かあったトラブル時の対応はホテル以上でとても素晴らしい。景色もホテル前に障害物が一切なくホノルルzooや自然の景色ごしにダイヤモンドヘッドの全体が見え最高です。日が昇るところから夕日になるまでのダイヤモンドヘッドの素晴らしい景色が堪能できます。海もホテルから２分程度で行け、ラナイからはフロントオーシャンビューではないものの少しのぞけば海の状態を見る事が出来ます。部屋は広く問題なし。ただ調理道具が少し不足しているのが気になりました。包丁の切れ味ももっと良ければ最高です。また日本人なので炊飯器があれば最高です。トースターはありました。私たちが泊まった部屋にはビーチでの椅子が３つありました。スノーケリングの道具もありお子さんと来ても問題なし。次回もこの部屋が空いてれば宿泊させてもらいます。

Brought the grands back home from a Texas summer

The property was exactly as described. We had no complaints at all. The views were great. The location next to beach was perfect. Parking is a premium as it is all over Hawaii. But there is free parking along the beach. You just have to be patient. Great coffee is available next door in the hotel beside Dennys. It was the perfect starting point for all our day trips. Whether it was koko crater climb or snorkeling at sharks cove. We had a great time. Thank you! One minor thing. Maybe some heavy black out shades. We were up with the roosters anyway, but others might want to sleep in. And for those who have complained about the music. It didn’t bother us at all. Of course we started at 7am and didn't go to bed until 11 or so.

Great location!

This is a cute condo located SO close to the beach. We really enjoyed the location - there is a fabulous bar, Hulus, in the building as well as a fast food burger place, Teddys. Even with those 2 in the building, we did not have ANY issues with noise past 10pm. Suite is compact, but cute. The 2 balconies were lovely. There is no stove or oven, but there is an electric stovetop, microwave, and mini fridge. Within walking distance to plenty of food, convenience stores, and beaches!! We will definitely be back :)

Great location near the beach

We've stayed at various units in Waikiki Grand due to its proximity to the beach and views of the park and Diamond Head. This unit had the bonus of being slightly larger than most, which made it perfect for my spouse and I. Everything was as described - including warnings to not use high-power appliances at the same time, which was easy to manage. We had everything we needed to cook small meals and a great patio set to eat and enjoy the views. Bed was fine, more on the soft side. Having stayed in this building previously, we knew to expect noise from Hula's though I will say it was more pronounced than other units as it was directly above. Not an issue for us and the air conditioner masks a lot of it, but know the weekends are pretty lively if you are sensitive to sound. Unit came with boogie board and 2 snorkel sets but no beach chairs or umbrella, if that matters to you. Overall, a solid value for a view and steps to the beach.

Perfect Location

I love the location of this condo. The beaches, shopping, restaurants and zoo are right there. (My favorite routine is heading around the corner for a Kai Coffee then watching the sunrise from the pier. Bliss.) The view from the room of Diamond Head and the beach were a real treat. Two lanais! That is exceptional. Truly exceptional. The room is large, the bed is comfortable. I was pretty impressed with the room. It gets a bit loud at night as the condo is situated above a popular bar. If you close the windows and run the a/c, that will help.

Waikiki Grand Hotel

Great location and fantastic view on the Diamondhead side. 180 degree view of the interior mountains, Diamondhead, and the ocean. Easy access up Kapahulu to the freeway for activities and just a short 1 block walk to the beach. We've stayed at the Grand each of our 17 visits over the past 27 years and find it very convenient. The only negative thing is that it was built in the sixties and the rooms are small by today's standards, but you don't come to Hawaii to sit in your room!

Great location

This VRBO i have stayed in a couple of times. Perfect area.... not the quietest on the front but the views are amazing. Get as high up as possible as the music from the bar will infiltrate the room until 2am. Host is super easy to communicate with. Rooms are small but clean and pleasant. Not luxury but nice! Again... cannot beat the area.

Excellent location!! Great views of Diamondhead volcano, the ocean, Waikiki Pier and the Honolulu Zoo! Close to restaurants and the main strip! Felt very safe in this location … but really you can’t beat the views for the price!! Would definitely rent this same room again if we ever come back to Hawaii! Also they have a rooftop balcony that even gives you better views!!

Never Again!!!!

Great location and comfortable bed is about the only good I can say about this unit. Had to empty the air condition drain pan every day. Very noisy room. Very dated interior. There were 4 bath towels for 3 people for a 9 day stay. No hooks to hang them on so you could dry and reuse them. I had to go out and buy over the door hooks. No bed linens for the futon. We had to put a towel on it and take a blanket off of the bed so our daughter could sleep on it. I've never left a bad review for any room but this room is awful. I think the owner could spend a few hundred bucks and really update this unit to make it comfortable. It is a shame that this property is taking up such a beautiful spot in Waikiki. We tried to tell ourself that we won't be in the room much, which we weren't but when we were it was not pleasant. Never want to stay here again
