    Best location in Waikiki

    The Aston may be an older hotel but is an amazing place to stay . Best location in Waikiki and super friendly and helpful staff . A walk over the road to the beach and close enough to the shopping precinct. Would recommend an ocean front room as the view is unbeatable . Rooms are a little smaller but seriously how much time do you want to spend in there .

    Average budget hotel

    The location is prime but apart from that nothing else i liked. There was water dripping the whole time in the washroom and the air conditioning was noisy. I could hear the people next door very clearly which was annoying. The coffee maker was dusty and not cleaned. Felt little unsafe as there was no security and the lifts were right on the road

    Spectacular views of Waikiki beach.

    Great location with great views of Waikiki beach. Older hotel but clean and maintained. Eggs and Things restaurant downstairs (10% discount). Friendly helpful staff. Parking lot is always full. Towels available for beach. A/C units are older and not as cool as it could be. Overall a great experience.

    Perfect location

    Perfect location in the heart of Waikiki. Amazing ocean view and a beach just across the street. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are not so big but well equipped and functional. We stayed in this hotel several times before and we will definitely be back.

    Nothing But Good Times

    Staff was very pleasant, friendly and helpful! Great location, right across from the beach and close to everything! Parking was very convenient and easy. Although the rooms were small they were very comfortable and the room amenities were nice.
