My college age daughter and stayed at the Royal Grove in January for five nights.After the initial shock at how dated the place was we settled in for a great stay.The one bedroom with kitchen was so handy.It was easy to stock up at the Pantry on Kuhio,so breakfast,lunch,dinner and snacks were easy.The other guests consisted of older long term returning guests and value seekers like us,always well behaved.The pool area is an oasis of quiet where people sun bath,read or play cards in the shade.The maids tend the rooms daly (they do not do dishes)with towels,bed making and bathroom cleaning.If you are OK with "old but good"this is a fun place with great value and convenience.

The hotel was clean, comfortable, spacious for the location and amazing affordable. We stayed in a two-room suite with a full-size bed and two twin beds. Exactly what we needed. We intend to stay at the Royal Grove for any future visits to Honolulu.

I've been staying here on & off every year for the last 40 years & have watched the hotel become a home & guests become family over time. You get what you pay for & the RGH is central to Waikiki entertainment. A block or so to the beach & surfing, snorkelling & markets. It's not for everyone but then neither is Hawaii so stay home & be miserable. Mahalo!

Great location, clean room at a reasonable price, and helpful staff that see more than dollar signs when talking with. Many of the people we met at the hotel, have been returning year after year, for many years.
