I was approximately 8 days in room 806. The reservation was made by my wife Juliana Palacio. The room they gave us did not meet my expectations but we had no choice. Everything got worse, because they never told us that the parking lot was under construction and that we couldn't put our vehicle there. But every day I saw different vehicles parked there. The stay annoyed me more because the room cleaning service is not included. They should say these things!... when I requested it, they only told me that they could give me towels and sheets!... Before continuing I must say that it is the first hotel in my life that does not service the rooms! Even in hotels in Haiti, they do it every day! Had I known about the parking lot and the cleaning, I would have definitely paid a little more in another hotel, much better than yours, since I had to pay almost 30 dollars per day for parking in other different places!... To complete, at some point I went with my wife and my 3-year-old daughter to buy some things for breakfast and unfortunately I couldn't park anywhere to unload the things. So I got on the platform and entered with my things and I told the lobby receptionist that if I could please leave my things there while I went to park the vehicle and she was very rude and told me no, she added telling me that she could only park 5 minutes where he had left the car. I do not present any solution to help me, zero kindness. (she is a young woman, i think filipina). The morning lady is not very friendly either. One day he asked me if I was leaving the next day to call the housekeeper. I found it incredible! That in a hotel they do that when they have a system and can tell when people are going to leave. So in conclusion it seemed like the worst hotel I've ever visited in my life and I'm a frequent traveler! The old, out-of-fashion facilities and adding the service that we had, I would definitely never recommend them!...

We stayed at an airbnb inside this hotel. The hotel was the perfect location especially if you are going to be using bus for transportation. Only a few blocks to the Waikiki Beach strip. The hot tub is weird and not really designed for lounging, but the room was spacious and clean.

Stayed for 2 weeks no room service even though it is advertised and they had a cheek to charge us a fee to clean our room when we left. The pool was dirty and no outside shower. Make sure if you want to book here you ask about hidden fees and maids.

I am a travel agent, came to this property a few times and sent many travelers in the past 40 years, I cannot believe they are charging $206 for "cleaning fees" Since Castle resorts managing company took over it's not what it used to be! Get away from any hotels or condos in Hawaii managed by Castle! I stayed only 2 nights at $200 per night plus taxes, I did not even get my room done during my stay, charging $206 to clean a 234 sqf room is just a rip-off! Do not stay here, they are so bad, rooms are small nosy, elevators are old and smelly, pool and jacuzzi are not the cleanest, and most of the time without sun! Very bad property.

This is an older hotel, but smack dab near just about everything including beach/bus/shops/McDonalds. Smallish rooms & nothing fancy but close to everything important. Limited Parking for rental cars.

We stayed at Bamboo twice-a couple of days after arriving and a couple of days before departing. Location-spot on. 2 minutes from the beach, lots of stores to shop. Rooms were cleaned and provided with some coffee and creamer to see one through a good morning. We had partial view of sea on first visit and full view of sea the second time (saw a whale in distance-keep your eyes peeled when you’re having your morning coffee:)) Ladies and gents at reception were helpful. Yes-a bit quiet at times and definitely not kneeling at your feet, but then again, we went there to sleep, not to have servants right left and centre. Complement to the girl in epic track suit top, who helped us all day when our flight got cancelled-you’re a star. Thank you. There are some renovations in and outside of hotel. Honolulu is noisy-get some melatonin or a glass of wine if you want to sleep ok. We would recommend:) Adam and Natalia

Bamboo Waikiki Hotel held promise as it was 3 blocks from the beach & it was reasonably priced after some discounts from our vacation club; we booked 2 rooms. Also, we paid ahead (for the 7 nights, taxes & fees) & thought that we were all done paying except for parking. When we arrived for check-in, we found out that additional fees were required for our stay to the tune of $25/day for each room which covered a resort fee ($105 x 2) and check out cleaning fees ($105 x 2) for both rooms which was unknown to us & incredibly irritating; had we known we would have stayed somewhere nicer & closer to the beach, but @ check-in was too late to make different arrangements without losing money. The hotel staff (particularly 2 women) were rude & not customer service oriented (not friendly, pool towels not readily available, didn’t communicate effectively about where to put “parking pass”, put out to provide a sheet for the pull-out bed & @ the end of our stay, confronted us about whether we paid for parking or not). Maid service was not provided on a daily basis as most hotels provide. The underground parking was continually wet (inches of water), small with limited slots. The 3rd floor carpet looked like it was under continual renovation. The Bamboo Waikiki Hotel was okay, but we would never stay there again.

We’ve enjoyed out stay at Aqua Bamboo very much. The staff is friendly and always there to help. The rooms are all privately owned. The restaurant By the pool is open five nights from 5-10. The food is delicious and fair priced for the area. I recommend the one bedroom, over the suite. It has a full kitchen and door to bedroom for longer stays with kids.

We were parents with 2 adult family members staying. We didn't want to spend a lot on accommodation and are well travelled. This place was extremely well priced, met all our needs and was very convenient. The rooms were perfectly fine, clean and acceptable. Anyone saying different is just being picky and mean, considering the price of the accommodation and the walking distance to the beach. We didnt want to spend all our time in our rooms and didn't want to waste all our money on high end accommodation. We had a wonderful experience here and loved it. The staff were helpful. Yes there were people fixing cars out the front further down the road, but hey that's life. If you were expecting a lot more and moan then go pay twice the price and stay further down the road in the pricey areas.

Read on the home site that Aqua Bamboo were renovating so almost didn't book. They need to take that off their site because I didn't hear a sound! Wasn't feeling well the last day and had a late departure and Aqua Bamboo offered to let me check out at 6 pm for a small fee. I wanted to get some sun so I turned down their offer. About 2 hours later I came back because still not feeling well and they had already cleaned my room but STILL let me stay until my flight. Great location. Will definitely be back! A HUI Hou!
