“Good location for beach activities, quite central for Waikiki”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Rather decent budget hotel (but still costing me $88/night) with clean basic rooms but with lukewarm front desk service, except for the caucasian (white) fellow who went out of his way to help me in so many ways. Breakfast is simply "ridiculous"; hard boiled eggs and the orange juice served everyday I spent there (Nov. 11 to Nov. 17, 2011) are the highlights: I never could understand why they don't provide you with forks; when asked for one, the attendant simply replied "Ah just eat with your hands", funny isn't it?
Proximity to Tiki's (a great restaurant and bar) was a plus for me.

Room Tip: Restaurant Tip : Give a try to Tiki's and have one of the hawaian cocktails served. Also their c...

“Nice & comfortable.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Although the hotel is out dated, it was comfortable. The gentleman @ the frontdesk was friendly & informative. Glad there was a stair case next to the elevator i made use of it quite a bit. (only one elevator I am glad my room had been on the 3rd floor). The room was large a one bedroom apartment with a mini kitchen. Nice living room with a dining area. Beds were small but comfortable. Housekeeper had a bad attitude.

“Dirty and Gross”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

people found this review helpful

My feet hang 7" over the end of the very hard bed that i layed towels down to sleep on because of the dirty conditions of the room. The doors were falling apart it was just dirty and in bad need of upkeep. I know the price meant it needed to be updated not falling apart and filthy.

“I do not recommend to stay to anyone....”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

person found this review helpful

We've decided to stay there last two night of our 3 weeks hawaii holidays. It is a cheap option, but surely you can get a lot better value for your money in other hotels. When we walked to the reception we were almost scared of the person behind the desk. Very unfriendly... We walked into our room and were in shock, walls were yellow almost brown (not deliberately), strong smell of smoke and very old fashioned furniture, aircon was partly hanging of the wall and fly screens were ripped. It was seriously the worst room I've ever seen. We went to the reception and said the room did not meet our expectations and after a while we got offered another room, which was one level lower, but exactly the same. We were willing to pay more for and upgrade, but there was no such an option. Very very bad experience, I won't even mention the breakfast.... Do not stay in Ewa hotel!!

“large old rooms, very poor generally.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 December 2011

the hotel comes more economic than competitors and you get what you pay. The structure is very old, room furnishing is very poor too. The room was very silent however.
The hotel is located at the end of Waikiki beach and next to the Zoo. I personally suggest to stay on the other end, in between Waikiki and downtown.
Just I'm not sure coming so far to Hawaii to stay in a old broken place makes sense, unless the cost is really that important for your trip.

Room Tip: ask to NOT have a room linked to other rooms. The partition door is very thin and you might have sou...
