Location is great and the views from the oceanfront rooms are perfect. We stayed on the 10th floor and we had wonderful unobstructed ocean views. The Lanai is very small, the bathroom is a 2 star at best, the decor is typical Hawaiian but the carpet in the rooms needs to be changed. The beds were very comfortable but we would not stay here again as we appreciate a higher standard. Due to a surprise Christmas present we booked this room with a couple hours of research and so we didn't have much time to look around. If you're on a budget and you don't really care about the room but still want something clean with a great view you will not be disappointed. The breakfast on the beach promo is NOT worth booking the room for if you're thinking of the cost saving on breakfast. If you like kiwi yogurt, heavy stale pastries, sugary cereals, and melons...then it's ok but if you want something healthy you'll end up buying breakfast anyways. We did not try the pool, we are ocean people. We did eat one night at the hotel restaurant, Tiki's bar and grill I think it's called. The food was good but not great, the service was good.

Just a side note the hotel left a baby crib in our room the entire week...used it as storage space I believe...the youngest in our room was 18 years old. Also we booked online and were told there would be a welcome "gift" in our room...the only surprise was the crib. We would not recommend.

The Royal Hawaiian Village hotel looked good as did the Hyatt and I believe they were similarly priced.

Check in was very slow. Rooms are much smaller than the appear in the photos, the decor is very dated. Overpriced for the amenities offered.

Best thing going for this hotel is its location being right on the beach.

You can't beat the location right on Waikiki Beach, but otherwise the room was very disappointing. Small, lumpy double bed, very few amenities. The staff was pleasant and helpful, and there was WiFi, but it was a very depressing hotel room

The Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel is in an excellent location with excellent service, reasonable rates, and a fantastic staff! The staff went out of their way to insure everything was just right. The free breakfast was good with many choices, especially with food prices so high in Honolulu.
