Whenever we had a question we could always ask at the front desk and the answer came to us like the Great Zultana at the carnival...always what we needed and accurate. Christy was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The room was just as described. It fit our needs perfectly. The quaint and kitsche atmosphere made for an enjoyable stay. The poolside... more

We stayed just one night as a stopver on our way to Vancouver and thought this hotel was the best value so far in our three visits to Waikiki. However, as per othere reviews, this place is not for those loooking for 5-star appointments and modern decor. We shared a double room with our adult son who had a single... more

Planning this dream vacation for me and my wife, I read alot of reviews. With some trepidation I decided on the Royal Grove. We were not disappointed. The hotel is run down by today's standards. The desk people don't care to impress you, and they really are not overly friendly. They gave the impression that we were staying at a... more

Stayed here from May 18th til June 3rd and had a great time.Paid $64.00 a night and have no complaints at all. The staff Donna, Debbie, and Steve were the best. It was like I knew Them a long time. Some reviews say it is noisy, well everywhere in Waikiki has exactly the same noise. I've stayed all over in... more

Had to write after seeing that last negative review. I have never stayed in a hotel in Hawaii where I have gotten better service and value than this hotel. I can afford to stay elsewhere, but I see no reason to throw money away when this cute, vintage hotel is available a block from the beach with kitchens and a... more

We have stayed a few times at the Royal Grove. We won't be back. The staff and cleanliness have deteriorated (and to be honest we only felt it was ok to return because of the cheap price- but with package deals, you really can do better...honestly). Our feet were black from the carepet. Staff grunt when you say good morning.... more

My friend and I spent 17 days at the Royal Grove, and once again, one could not have asked for a better "Ohana" experience anywhere in Waikiki. The staff: Donna, Christie, Steve, Nelson and the various members of the housekeeping crew definitely make the guests feel at home, and the connections made with the other guests cannot be described in... more

This is a great budget hotel if you are looking for no-frills accommodation. It is a little bit like stepping back in time, but thats not necessarily a bad thing amongst the bustle of Waikiki. Great positioning just off the main strip. I stayed in this hotel at the beginning and end of my trip - both rooms I stayed... more

We took a leap of faith and depended solely upon the majority of reviews for this hotel and got more value than we expected. We only spent three nights here, and it was very much worth the cost (about $75/night, taxes included) for the location alone. The rooms were relatively clean, at least where it mattered, but don't expect to... more
