2-Star Hotels in Honolulu

Uhhhhh..... We stayed in this hotel because our flight got in late and we needed a place close to the airport to crash for one night. This hotel fits that purpose well. That said, I wouldn't recommend this hotel for any other situation other than the one I just described. They were pumping sewage right outside of our door the morning we woke up. Also, our room key didn't work the morning we were checking out. The only other positive of this hotel is that it is within walking distance of THE BEST little food place we came across on our whole trip: Joe's Grill Express. We cannot wait to come back so we can visit Joe's again.

For someone wanting to experience Waikiki on a budget it’s a great price! Perfect location right across the street from the ocean and the beach! It’s only 2 min walk to the zoo and the Waikiki trolly bus stop is less then a block away and it’s only $5 a day to take. This hotel is perfect for convenience and location!! The bed isn’t the most comfortable and there are nicer and cleaner hotels but your going to pay a-lot more for that. This was perfect for a short few day trip I took! I’ll definitely book there again! Also their parking lot is not very big so if your getting a rental car I would call them first to confirm they have a spot available for your car to be parked if they do it’s only $30 a night which is also a great price! But that was sold out the whole time I was there. I didn’t need it because I didn’t have a rental car. But I could see that being an issue if you have a rental car.

Wow! Genuinely friendly staff that is welcoming and helpful. I had no expectations on an overnight with friends from Maui. Mind blown at the level of Aloha - clean rooms, great location. Thank you Aqua Palms staff for helping create part of an incredible experience filled with so much Aloha I’m already planning a return trip with friends to stay there.

Our second stay at the Royal Grove Hotel in as many trips, and we continue to be impressed with this small family-owned business. The Royal Grove is one of the few who do not charge an amenity fee, which makes a big difference in one's budget. The rooms are spacious - the ones with lanais are great - we sat out on ours every morning and enjoyed the bird song that served as our alarm clock. The staff are very helpful, and we wish we had caught the name of the young woman who never seemed to have a day off. Thank you for being so accommodating. The pool area is really fun and great for small children and families. There are boogie boards and beach mats to borrow when you go to the beach, and the best part of Waikiki Beach is just 1 1/2 blocks away. There is a handy ABC store at the end of the block, and a grocery store a few blocks away. Most units have kitchenettes, which we made good use of to cut down costs, and the laundry is just off the main common area and is efficient and affordable. The Royal Grove has a sense of community we haven't found in other hotels and Wednesday nights from 7:00pm - 9:00pm are ukulele night with many attendees having played here for over 20 years. We've stayed a total of 18 days over two visits and this is where we make our home in Hawaii - it really does feel like home when you are here. We highly recommend the Royal Grove Hotel.

We had 4 nights at the Waikiki Monarch and found it to be a strange experience. We booked it through Booking.com and stayed in apartment 2703A. On the positive side, our apartment had an amazing view of Waikiki, right out to the ocean, as well as along the canal – very inspiring! The location also was very good, situated on the western end of Wikiki. It was only a 10min walk to the beach and about 10min over to Ala Moana Mall and beach park. There was a good internet-enabled TV with about every channel and streaming service you could want – really a nice setup. On the negative side, the apartment was not very well cleaned upon our arrival, especially the floor. A couple of the dining chairs and the couch were covered in stains and were downright disgusting. The apartment was lacking a few basics, such as bedside cabinets and dressers/drawers for storing clothes. I had to lay out all my clothes on the floor along the hallway wall. We also felt the lighting was quite dim in the evenings. The kitchen was small and outfitted with only the basics. The kitchen faucet was loose and about ready to fall off – a little basic maintenance would’ve been nice. Another thing that was odd was that there was no reception or other onsite staff which could be called on if required. We were told to collect our key from a little lock box. We arrived at around 1pm, and since we weren’t allowed to check in until the very late hour of 4pm, we asked if we could store our bags and were told we actually had to pay for bag storage ($5/bag) for the 3 hours. It’s the first time we’ve ever had the experience of having to pay for bag storage at the hotel while waiting for check-in! Not impressed! In any case, we won’t be staying here anytime soon. Not recommended – there are so many far better places to stay in Waikiki. Don’t make the mistake we did.

The Waikiki Agua Aloha Surf Hotel is a hotel close to Waikiki Beach, with convenient food, shopping, and public transportation. The hotel's facilities are also basically complete, there are cafes, breakfast rooms, outdoor swimming pools, fitness rooms, foot baths and so on. Usually booked with breakfast, breakfast is close to Chinese food. Breakfast should be good, the customer reviews are divided, it is estimated that tourists from big cities in mainland China have become accustomed to their own dining content and form; tourists from the United States or other countries or regions are used to another The content and form of the meal are different in their respective expectations. The so-called publicity is difficult to adjust. Less than satisfactory, the room is less soundproof, the room is smaller, the air conditioning is old and hidden under long curtains. In any case, the biggest advantage is that you can walk near the beach for about ten minutes. The price/performance ratio is relatively high. Will come later.

I was very disappointed when I got to my crappy old room...it was so hot in my room!! The a/c was barely working!! So I called the front desk to switch rooms... luckily she called me back and said she had another room for me... the new room wasn't really any better!! The a/c was in the back corner and still I couldn't feel the a/c!! I actually had to go to the back corner to feel a little air conditioned. We pay a lot of money to stay there and there rooms barely have working air conditioned!! We were very hot the whole time we were there!! So my friends and I will never stay there again!! And we will not recommend Waikiki heritage hotel to anyone!! Good luck...

There is a small kitchen. The bed in the room is hidden in the cupboard. It needs to be pulled down. The photo is completely unrecognized. I walked in and thought it was a suite. I didn’t even find the bed. I found the cabinet. Air conditioning is very old air-conditioning embedded in the wall, noisy like a bomber, the hotel has no parking lot, parking nearby is very troublesome, the price is expensive, the parking lot recommended by the front desk is difficult to have a location.

Pagoda Hotel, Pagoda Hotel. Compared with the introduction of several websites and travel agencies, I finally felt that Ctrip won the price/performance ratio and booked a room. Just because of the formalities, it took a lot of work to credit card authorization during check-in. In the future, it is convenient to book the hotel with the credit card that the person carries with you. Also, be sure to prepare Ctrip to confirm the successful booking. In addition to the troubles of registration, the attitude and professional quality of the service staff are satisfactory. I feel very friendly to the Chinese. After three o'clock in the afternoon, I finally checked in. Fortunately, everything was normal on the flight. From the airport to the hotel, it is not expensive to take a drip; you can also take a bus, you can buy a pass, and there is a bus stop near the hotel. The hotel is in the Ala Moa area, very lively and safe. The specific address is: 1525 Rycroft Street Honolulu. The usual equipment in the hotel for travel to stay at the hotel is complete. I booked two beds, but a bed in a two-bed room was big enough. The most satisfying is the nearby food, the taste is not thick, and the price is higher than other parts of the island.

The hotel is very close to the airport. It takes less than 20 minutes to walk there. There are also buses that pick up and drop off on the hour. The facilities are relatively old. I didn't know why I was deducted 50 US dollars when I registered. I'm negotiating.
