“Great for families to stay on the beach - we loved it.”

We loved the daily prit outs with info and Hawaii and ideas of what to do there, free valet parking guys were excelent, very clean and we had beach view so it was lovely. The rooms were super clean and all staff were friendly. We really enjjoyed our stay here and the short walk to the beach and shops was perfect for us.

Room Tip: Beach front and higher up you can see the surfers gather in the morning and watch the beach from you...

Aloha!

And MAHALO to these guests for staying with us and for taking the time to share their Waikiki vacation experience with us!

I was really pleased to see that they found their suite "super clean" and our location just across from famous Waikiki Beach to their liking. I was even more pleased however to see their comments about our staff, especially our valets who are our "ambassadors of aloha". Each staff member and manager really tries their very best each and every day to ensure that every guest experience is the best it can be and I am really happy to see these guests were able to experience just that.

MAHALO again to these guests for staying with us and I sincerely hope we have the opportunity of hosting them and all of you in the near future!

ALOHA!

“Thieves”

1st night Valet parking did not lock my car & left the roof down, second night Valet did not lock the car, 3rd night Had my GPS stolen from my car in valet parking. they assured me the car was locked, insurrance company will not settle because there was no sign of forced entry.
So basicly the hotel staff, Manager & insurance company is calling me a liar over a $99 GPS.
I am a Travel Agent & will NEVER recommend this Hotel

Aloha,

I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to this guest for his experience at the Waikiki Beach Tower. I was very aware of this situation occurring and expedited the investigation and followup process. Please know that an Incident Report was completed and then sent to our insurance company for their review and their own internal investigation. I will be more than happy to contact our insurance company to see if there is anything that can be done at this point.

Our valets are seasoned employees who really know the importance of personal security and I am very, very sorry this situation occurred.

Mahalo!

“Excellent location - rooms large but a little dated”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012 via mobile

people found this review helpful

We stayed in a 2 bed apartment on the 10th floor. We were travelling with two young children. Found the view to be great and no problem with noise. I think noise might become an issue if you were any lower down. I was expecting a more luxurious apartment (the apartment was dated), but it was still extremely comfortable. Plenty of room in the lounge room even with the sofa bed folded out (we left it out for the entire duration of our stay without a problem). The sofa bed was very comfortable for an adult to sleep on. Air con worked very well and it was easy to get all areas of the apartment to a comfortable temperature. There are plenty of restaurants nearby (including child friendly ones). Hilton Hotel which is a very short walk away (very doable even with small children) has a good breakfast that is open 24 hours. Sandwich shop around the corner as well. This hotel is right on a great beach for kids (you literally step out the front door and you are there). On arrival the kids are given a gift of some sand toys. Would definitely recommend for families with young children. It may be that some apartments are more updated than others - could be worth enquiring when booking.

Aloha,

And MAHALO to these guests for staying at the Aston Waikiki Beach Tower and for taking time from their schedule to share their vacation experience with us.

I was really happy to hear they found their suite to be spacious and the location of our property ideal for families with young children. Our keiki program includes a nice beach toy children can enjoy at famous Waikiki Beach and it's wonderful to see the smile on their faces and hear the giggles the toys bring to them after that long plane ride. I also noted their comments about the suite they were in as all of our suites have been renovated with just a handful that need their kitchen and patio done. Please know we are working with those owners to complete their renovation and hope to have them finished this year.

MAHALO again to these guests for staying with us and I sincerely hope we have the opportunity of hosting them and all of you in the near future.

ALOHA!

“The Perfect Wakiki condo”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012
7
people found this review helpful

Outstanding location. great room, superb service, great price. If you want the convenience of a condo where you can cook sometimes instead of going to an overpriced restaurant, choose this. They even wash up. Ask for a room above 18th floor to ensure an unobstructed view over the ocean and the length of Waikiki beach. Free valet parking is another real plus.

And MAHALO to these guests for staying with us and for taking the time to share their Waikiki vacation experience with us.

I was really happy they found our location to be ideal for what they wanted to do and that their perceived value of their experience was well worth what they paid. I was even happier to hear that they found the service at our property to be "superb". All of our managers and staff really try their very best to ensure that each and every guest experience with us is the best it can be and I'm so glad they were able to experience just that.

“Great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

people found this review helpful

There are good and not so good comments from our stay here. Whether or not this hotel is for you really depends on what you want. The best part of this hotel is its location - right opposite Waikiki Beach. Also the fact it is self-contained is a huge plus: having your own kitchen and laundry is a real bonus. Beware though, that the oceanfront apartments look directly into the back of the neighbouring property if you are on a level lower than level 12. You will see right into your neighbours apartment, and they will see into yours. We still had great views of the beach from our balcony, but the next door hotel was a little distracting. The hotel itself is looking a little tired and drab in places, we found the furniture somewhat shabby and the bed uncomfortable. Noisy small wall-mounted airconditioner made for restless sleeping. If you wander through some of the larger well known hotels/resorts, then this one is certainly in need of some upgrades by comparison. However, if looks dont bother you, then this hotel will be great. The valets and concierge staff were very friendly and helpful, however there was only one person in the front office who bothered to make any effort and provide anything remotely resembling service. Note here: i have already taken this up with management, who have responded to my experiences and are looking into the matters we brought up. Overall, although the location is great, and a 2 bedroom apartment suited our needs, i probably would not stay here again.

Room Tip: If you can afford it, book an apartment on the upper levels (above 12) to avoid the birds eye view i...

Aloha,

And MAHALO to these guests for staying with us and for taking the time to share their Waikiki experiences with us.

I was really happy to see that they found our location right across from famous Waikiki Beach to be ideal and our suites, with a fully equipped kitchen and a washer and dryer to their liking. We have really tried to make our suites that "home away from home" and we are continually looking at ways to improve on this. I was however very sorry to hear that they found the furniture in their suite somewhat out dated and we will review this in the near future to see if a furniture package can be developed for our owners. I am also going to followup with our Guest Services Manager as service from our guest service agents has always been a hallmark of the experience our guests have come to enjoy and I am very sorry these guests were not able to experience just that.

I would like to once again say MAHALO to these guests for staying with us and I sincerely hope we have the opportunity of hosting them and all of you in the near future.
