No one to checkin to the room, they left instructions in envelope. No one replies back to phone calls or emails for 2 days. Maintenance service took days. Parking was free but parking pass provided after two days (I had to pay $43 each day). No room cleaning or fresh towels for entire stay. Floor was sticky. Overall bad experience

We were out almost everyday the whole day so we really just stayed here to sleep. We also cooked some food and they had complete set of cookware, plates, utensils, cups, everything. There’s even a microwave and coffee maker too. Some cabinets were broken but it didn’t affect us too much. There were plenty of towels to use for bathing and to bring to the beach but there weren’t a lot of soap and shampoo for the number of days that we stayed. Also, we waited for the elevator for 40mins because everyone is checking out same time as we were checking out, so check out early if you can

Communication with host was initially very slow. Staffing issues forced limited hours of availability. Our suite was very roomy and comfortable but also very dated. More care could have been taken in housekeeping as the floor was in dire need of cleaning and there was food left in the freezer. Great location, easy to walk to everything you need.

Waikiki Banyan - A Comfortable and Convenient Stay Werecently had the pleasure of staying at the Waikiki Banyan, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. We were two adults two kids under 12. The apartment I stayed in was well-stocked with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials, which made it easy to prepare meals. It had toaster, kettle, dishwasher, salt and pepper, large fridge and stove top. Plenty of glassware and cutlery The unit itself was very clean, with freshly painted walls that gave the space a refreshed and welcoming feel. The beds were especially comfortable. The apartment was also quite quiet, which was a pleasant surprise considering the central location. The furniture was dated but this was not important. The Waikiki Banyan was just a short walk to the beach, shopping, dining, and all the attractions of Waikiki, making it an ideal spot for anyone wanting to experience the best of the area. The only downside was the inconsistent pool rules and hotel policy regarding luggage storage. On checkout day, I was disappointed to find that the hotel side of the property doesn't offer luggage storage, which would have been really helpful since my flight was in the evening. This was a small inconvenience, but fortunately, I was able to work around it. All in all, I would definitely recommend the Waikiki Banyan for anyone looking for a well-located, comfortable, and affordable place to stay in Waikiki.

At first it was a good start then around the evening there were roaches that came out from under the lamp near the microwave. We killed approximately 8-10 of them in one night.

Sweetwater Waikiki is a good choice for travelers seeking affordability and convenience without sacrificing cleanliness and essential amenities. It's just a 5 minute walk to Kuhio Beach, it's a budget-friendly gem in an otherwise very pricey neighborhood. When you arrive at the address provided, you won’t see a sign for Sweetwater Waikiki. Instead, you'll find a sign for Waikiki Banyan. Don’t worry; you’re at the right place. The property houses multiple hotel companies, which can be confusing so pay close attention to your check-in instructions. If you won’t be arriving between 3PM and 4PM, it's important to communicate your arrival time to simplify the process as Sweetwater's staff have limited hours. Also, despite what some reviews might say, the front desk staff are very helpful if you need assistance. The rooms may be a bit outdated, but they are clean and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. For families traveling with teens, the availability of additional roll-out beds was a lifesaver, allowing our teens to enjoy their space without having to share a bed. The pool is small and shallow but who goes to Hawai'i to hang out at the pool anyway right? There are onsite laundry facilities on each floor, which added to the convenience and ease of our stay. Despite being incredibly short-staffed, the property's manager, Melissa, was incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring our experience was smooth and enjoyable. Her dedication truly made a difference!

2 things that I can't stress enough - parking included - full kitchen The staff are very friendly and that means a lot for someone who frequently travel to HNL. A block away from the beach, stores, shopping and dining are pretty close. This is a great place where you can park anytime and cook anytime! For those who are traveling first time in Hawaii, one word " HUGE SAVINGS". Level 2-5 are the available parking space but we always find a spot down level 2 before 6pm. Just 5 minute walk to Kuhio Beach! You can find a good spot early in the day, quickly go back to your hotel and use the pool, just chill and back to the beach! Our suite can easily sleeps 4 people. Big living space and kitchen. Nice big tub and you dont have to wait very long for hot shower. We really enjoyed our stay here at Sweetwater at Waikiki!

The location was good, but there were a lot of cockroaches in the kitchen, they got in my coffee and made me sick. The room had minimal amenities. The room was old and in need of updating, the drainage was not good, the electricity in the bathroom was out. The pool had no shade so you can only stay for a short time. The jacuzzi was out of order.

Don't listen to the bad reviews - this place was just fine. The room was clean, beds were comfortable. They are understaffed so pre-vacation communication was limited, but once we got there, no issues. Good location and free parking was huge! One of the cheapest places we could find in Waikiki and I have no regrets. I'd stay there again.
