Situated next to international marketplace this hotel provided excellent value for money and staff are great too we stayed here before and after our cruise and couldn't be happier to recommend. Had an awesome reflexology appointment in their lobby - what more could you want after a long day of shopping! More

Aloha and mahalo for such a positive review, Our location continues to be one of our best features for the guest who does not want to have to rent a car. We work with our staff daily and remind them to treat the hotel as their home, and all of our guests as family or ohana (o-ha-na). I am happy... More

“Great Location & Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 5, 2012 NEW

Little sketchy at night with the outside activities but location was great! Close to beach and shopping. Bellman very friendly and helpful. Met the manager Kathy at the managers reception and her learning that we were here for our anniversary she sent us up a bottle of champagne to our room! That's great service!! We will be back next year!! More

Aloha and mahalo for taking the time to write this review. Being centrally located in Waikiki has a few drawbacks; however the positives far outweigh them. At night, we have 2 Security Officers on duty 7 days a week. They are there to assist our guests and to secure the building and surrounding area. Our location is very popular with... More

Aloha and thank you very much for submitting a review. Many of our guests share the same sentiments about how spacious our rooms are. 14 nights with us at the Waikiki Wave, you almost qualify as a ‘local’ resident, thank you for your business.

The Good: The location. Everything is only a short / very short walk away including public transport and tourist trolley and bus stops and places to buy just about anything you might need.. The rooms have plenty of space and there is an atm in the lobby. Free WiFi that is fast and always works. There is always a staff... More

Our spacious rooms are a pleasant surprise for many of our guests.

i had 5 nights here and found the hotel to be in a great location, clean and the staff were friendly. A short walk to the beach and close to shops & restaurants. I was lucky enough to get a room on a high floor so i didnt hear any of the club noise that others have spoken of. They... More

Thank you for your fair review. Isn’t it nice to be within walking distance of everything, and if not you have a choice of the bus or a trolley to get you there. We work with our team daily to remind them to share the Aloha Spirit with everyone they meet in the course of their day. Our Housekeeping Team... More

Had a great time in Waikiki :) The aqua wave is in a great spot, close to lots of shops/restaurants, bus and tram stops and only a short walk to the beach.

I just got back from my vacation and stayed here. I liked the location of the hotel, it is near everything. It does get a little noisy at night with the bars being right next to you but it didn't really bother me. I loved the staff there. George the manager was great and very accommodating to our needs.

“NOT A BOUTIQUE HOTEL”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2012

This hotel should not have a 3 star rating. They advertised that they had a pool, but you had to walk out of the hotel and walk around the corner thru an alley that was very unsafe, climb up some stairs to find a very small outdated dirty pool with no amenities (not even a plant or tree) that was...

Aloha and thank you for your review, I apologize about the pool not meeting your expectations. Many of our guests utilize our great location and walk 5 minutes to be on the sandy shores of Waikiki, one of the world’s most popular beaches. It saddens me that one of our staff would say such a thing regarding the pool. Were... More
