We went for our 25th wedding anniversary. Our first trip to Hawaii. Stayed 10 days. Loved, loved Hawaii. Yes this hotel is dated - the furniture is like the hand-me-downs we had when we first got married - but the fridge was new and worked, the mattress was firm and comfy, the sheets, towels and bathroom were clean, as was... more

this is a small authentic run down hotel. I am being honest in saying it is rather shabby and perhaps the lure of the skyscraper with a view that has come to define Waikiki seems to be a place many would prefer... but... this is a friendly relic of the past. A feeling of being at your Aunties or Grandmas... more

The staff were so wonderful and helpful. They answered any question we had to the best of the ability. The rooms were average. The hotel is dated, and there are a lot of seniors who lived there permanetly, but the location cannot be beat! It literally takes 1 minute to walk to beach! We had no incidences involving ;raoches in... more

Stayed here for 4 nights in May 2009. For the price we paid it was an excellent investment. Room: small, dated, looked old and worn but was always cleaned (daily), Bathroom was extremely small (tiny...) but fine for us. We made use of the small kitchenette. Location - Excellent, Excellent..... 3 minute walk to beach and main tourist area. If... more

Say what you will about the Royal Grove. We have been staying there every year for 33 years and have a reservation for next year. It's not the Hilton! It's better. The staff know you by name, they will do anything to make your stay as comfortable as possible, and the other guests, like us, stay extended periods of time... more

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
