The view was great from the balcony. Room was comfortable. Parking was easy to find and enough space not like most tight knit parking.

There was a few hairs lingering around the room but it’s okay. The shower is a little outdated.

The view from the room was amazing. We had a full view of all the beaches along the Waikiki waterfront. We were right across the road from Kuhio Beach which has a semi enclosed lagoon around it which was perfect. The area was quieter at night which made for easier sleeping but it was still only 5 minutes walk from great restaurants and shops. The twin double bedded room was fantastic for 2 people, with heaps of storage, a great space away from the bathroom for drying hair and tea/coffee making with a huge full length slide across mirror. There were plenty of sockets for charging purposes. The rooms were clean and tidy. The air con was quite loud, but I’m a light sleeper and I found coupled with ear plugs, the steady sound of the air con drowned out noises from the street traffic, so made sleeping easier, plus the wooden sliding window covering blocked out most of the light and, during the day, helped to prevent the room getting too hot. The balcony was totally protected from the wind and was a great place to quickly dry off bathing costumes for re-use. It was right above eggs n things for breakfast and had abc stores close by. Ronaldo was lovely and friendly on reception and had our booking in front of him when we arrived. The room was great value for money in Waikiki and suited our purposes absolutely. The sunsets and the views were awesome.

The double bedded room might be a bit small for a family of 4, but that wasn’t an issue for us travelling as a couple.

I have stayed at Waikiki Circle Hotel 20 times or more during the last 30 years - and often like this time for 3-4 nights. You cannot beat the location and staff is always execelent. I always book ocean front and the hotel prices have increased but I really like this hotel. Nothing fancy just nice and pleasant and the place for me to stay in Honolulu.

Very close to the beach (right across the street). Decent price for what’s almost a beachfront hotel.

Very small parking garage. Loading/unloading area wasn’t big enough to turn around so had to back out into the street. Rooms were small. Older building.

Position in front of waikiki. Personal has been very nice. Room clean.

It should be renovate (very 70’s style). Also including a breakfast in the proposal and creating a gym.

The location is great. Everything is within walking distance. Cleaning staff did an amazing job.

Overall, the staff are not very welcoming, especially night shifters. They don’t let you know any of the perks the hotel provides such as a water fountain and microwave at the lobby or a free admission to HOMA, so make sure you go through all fine print. Things are pretty old in the room and not working in perfect condition including phone, AC, and refrigerator.

Loved the location with close proximity to everything. The check in process was easy. Loved they had shared beach floats and chairs. Would definitely recommend this hotel!

Nothing that was bad. A little small and slightly outdated but nothing concerning. Seemed clean enough.

Excellent location. Nice breakfast restaurant right out front.Lovely views. Clean rooms. Lovely staff.

No real lobby, not a big deal. Beds were a bit firm. Bathroom was fine but small shower.
