    Great option on the Waikiki Beach

    Location exceptional, right on the beach. Ocean view room has amazing Ocean View from balcony as you can see on the picture. Beach towels provided by hotel. Room small but cozy and clean. Housekeeping cleaned everyday. Staff was excellent.

    Aston Circle Waikiki - does what it says on the tin - bed for the night

    The rooms, while basic, small and no frills, are well presented and clean, for what they are. Generous tea and coffee which was good. It's a great location right on the beach. Air conditioner machine was so loud, had to turn it off. Room was quiet, clean with ok bathroom supplies and a newspaper in the AM. $50 parking fee on top. Towels for the beach are provided which is good. A DVD selection available - 1 per night per room which is great. Check in staff are so rude and uninterested in you - they are grumpy old men - definitely spoiled the feel of the stay. We booked 2 seperate rooms and they put us on different floors which was so annoying - felt like they did it on purpose as I complained about not knowing about the parking fee. If you are happy with a budget friendly centrally located place, then this is the place for you!

    Great location on Waikiki Beach

    Location, location, location. We reserved the room with ocean view and appreciate the close proximity to the beach and restaurants. The only problem we had was parking (we had a big rental truck) so had to park somewhere else, since the hotel underground parking can't accommodate the size of the truck.

    Cute hotel, comfortable and fairly reasonably priced but no pool (although beach is directly across the street)

    Great location within walking distance of lots of shopping and restaurants and it's across the street from the beach. Cute decor with nods to the property's vintage past. Comfortable beds and large lanai. Some of the views from the oceanview rooms are very close to the nearby buildings, but the ocean is also visible. Drawbacks include no pool, limited paid parking in the parking garage below the building, and no lobby or seating areas other than the room itself.
