The Ocean Resort Hotel Waikiki is a nice place but you can tell it is quite old and in need of major renovations. The staff was helpful but could be a little nicer, they aren't very welcoming. The lobby is nicely decorated and it is inviting, but the elevator, the rooms and the pool scream "1970s NIGHTMARE". Our room was... more

Hotel is old and run down. Elevator dirty, rooms clean but VERY outdated. Staff was friendly but we had to run water 10 minutes to get COLD water in bathroom. We were not the only ones, water was running constantly (and loudly). Pool area is a joke. We crossed the street and went to the Marriot pool, MUCH better. Internet... more

The hotel is in a very convenient area. The rooms and hotel are somewhat run down. It is not filthy. It does need to be updated. For those on a budget this hotel is a good choice. The rooms are a bit small more than 2 people to a room would be cramped. We did not spend much time in... more

I was at the Ocean Resort for 10 days in January 2010. The location is great- 1.5 blocks to the beach -right on TheBus routes to Everywhere. I confess that I did clean the bathroom and sink myself when I checked in- but that is just the kind of gal I am. The pools are very tiny and the water... more

Rooms were always cleaned and dishes washed. If your just looking for a place to sleep than this is it. Why pay 200.00 plus dollars a night for a room your hardly even use. We had 3 beds and a kitchenette for under 90.00 per night. 3 min walk to the beach next door to the abc store. We stayed... more

We booked Castle Ocean Resort Hotel Waikiki for our winter holidays. The hotel is very clean, well maintained, and very close to the beach (less than two minutes walk). The location is close to all attractions in Waikiki, just a step away from the bus and shuttle transportation. Very kind and friendly staff. We were very pleased with the high... more

If you like LOUD, NOISY maids, then stay here. Otherwise, don't. I couldn't believe that every single day we would be waken up or disturbed by the loud voices of maids in the hallway. I wondered what hotel would not discuss this problem to their maids until I saw the supervisor (holding a clipboard) and shouting at the top of... more

We've stayed here 3 times. It's always been a very budget hotel, but well located and with a friendly staff. It was a good value for a great location, as long as you weren't picky about style or luxury. However, this last visit was not so great. The property has looked grungier every time, and they no longer have a... more

I reserved city view studio with kitchenette and we got on the 15th floor. I was amazed when we get into the room; it's very spacious. The beds are very comfy, AC is good and quiet. There are so many cheap local places to eat around and the beach is just a block away. Also there is Food Pantry (grocery... more
