I had the opportunity to stay at the Aston Waikiki Sunset from November 2-5, 2009. Overall, I had an extremely pleasant experience and would definitely recommend the property to friends and colleagues. My room was recently renovated, very nicely appointed and had more than enough space (I would say that the two-room unit is perfect for families). Further, the views... more

Aloha ISSADan, Mahalo for the great comments about your recent stay with us. I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed our accommodations and service. Yes, the location of the Aston Waikiki Sunset is very convenient. We're located in the quiet part of Waikiki, yet walking distance to most of the major attractions.

#1507 229 Paoakalani Ave Waikiki Stayed here for 4 weeks and was very disappointed. The unit is worse for wear than depicted in the photos and the carpet is heavily stained. The first week of arriving we were woken to find old carpet put out over the carpet on our floor, obviously to protect the carpet during work. Then we... more

Aloha Vicol, Mahalo for stating the unit you stayed in. Just so our readers are aware, the Aston Waikiki Sunset is a condominium building and there are several units that are managed by other rental agents that do transient accommodations. This unit is not managed by Aston. I do want to take this opportunity of apologizing for the inconvenience you...

We stayed for six nights at the end of October and had a fantastic time! For what we paid, we thought the rooms were very nice and well furnished. Every room has its own separate bedroom and living room with pull-out sofa and a kitchen. We were greeted and checked in by Jenn, who made us feel very welcome during... more

Aloha gr8deadfan, Mahalo for your great comments regarding your recent stay with us. I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed our accommodations and service. I'll be sure to share your posting with Jen. The Aston Waikiki Sunset has spectacular views from its rooms, but the mountain view is may favorite, especially at night when you can see all the street...

If you are looking for a clean, friendly place to stay then the Aston Waikiki Sunset would have to be it! We arrived after a very long flight from Aussie and the staff did all they could to make us comfortable while we waited for our room. Our room was great! The sofa bed was huge and very comfy and... more

My son, granddaughter, and I stayed in one of the NOT renovated rooms for one week, and were thoroughly satisfied. I had read some reviews of the rooms being dirty and undesirable, but our rooms (living, bedroom, kitchenette) were great. The TV was an old one, but we didn't use it much. The bed and sofa bed were both comfortable.... more

Aloha Jerryfrank, Mahalo for the great comments regarding your recent stay with us. Yes, there's nothing wrong with our unrenovated units and I appreciate you sharing this with our readers. Based on your description, you stayed in our one bedroom standard unit and we have just begun renovating this category. By June 2010, all of our rooms will be fully...

My friends and I decided to stay at a Waikiki hotel for the Halloween weekend. Initially, we had booked a room at the Aston Waikiki Banyan, which is located right across the street from its sister property, the Waikiki Sunset. It wasn't until a phone call to the Waikiki Banyan the morning of our check-in did we discover that we... more

I'm gonna give a very honest review. I loved the location and most of the staff was friendly minus a few. I ended up beating all of my friends to Hawaii, flight and connection problems. They weren't arriving for six more hours and I had never been to Hawaii. I grabbed the rent a car, checked into the hotel, and... more

Aloha Mr. Bryant, Mahalo for sharing your experience of staying with us. As I've stated in some of my previous response to guest postings, there are always two-sides to a story or complaint in this case. All hotels require that some form of credit is established upon check in regardless of your room & tax being prepaid. It can be...

I am a GM of a hotel in Lake Tahoe, and believe me I am quite fussy when it comes to all the aspects of a guests stay. Each staff member I encountered during my eight day stay were all very friendly, helpful, and professional. Kudos especially to Ofelia at the front desk. I booked a one bedroom deluxe ocean... more

Aloha TahoeGM, From one GM to another, Mahalo for your great comments and suggestions. Being in the industry, I too am very particular when staying at another hotel. If I see a great idea, I like to implement them at my property. An when I find something that I don't like, I make sure we don't have the same situation...

We had a 7 night stay and it was very enjoyable. Clean ocean-front 1 bedroom room on the 25th floor. With the patio door open, traffic noise is noticeable.
