Just stayed at the Wave 25-30th June and it was pretty good. First of all i am a travel agent so i can say i would honestly send my clients here if they were looking for a moderate accomodation. Front staff were friendly and efficient, rooms were very clean and comfortable (great beds), i would say it is a very... more

We spent six nights at the Wave, from June 17-23. We rented a car and finding the hotel was easy. Finding the parking was not. After our fourth trip around the block, we finally figured out that the parking was the driveway just past the hotel if you are heading west on Kuhio Ave. There were no spots in the... more

Wow!! If you want a less expensive hotel off the beach, this is it!! Sit back this may take a couple of minutes. We were here 3 nights. We had a King bed suite on the 9th floor, so the garbage pick up was not very loud. The room was really clean, and the bed was very comfortable. After we... more

Having recently spent 2 weeks in the Aqua Waikiki Wave Hotel, I would thoroughly recommend it. We stayed in a corner room on the 7th Floor. This was a lovely large room containing 2 queensize beds, several armchairs, microwave, hairdryer , iron,and coffee maker. Because it was a corner room we had two balconies both of which had outdoor chairs... more

Perfact location. Close to beach and in the heart of downtown Waikiki. Staff very friendly and helpfull. Clean and comfortable room. No problem with outside noise from fifth floor, unless lanai door was open. We would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks Aqua, for making it a wonderful family vacation. more

I stayed in the Partial Ocean View Junior Suite for 5 nights and absolutely loved it! The decor and ocean views are so pretty. The room was spacious and a continental breakfast was included as part of our package. In reception Josh was really friendly and helpful. The hotel is really close to the international marketplace which was good for... more

We stayed at the Waikiki Wave for our honeymoon in January, and really enjoyed it! It was in a fantastic location, and was nice, comfy and relaxed. Perhaps because it was our honeymoon, we were upgraded to a suite with 3 queen beds! Yay! We only ever used 1 bed, but it was nice to be able to spread out.... more

We had room 1517, a junior suite with a view and a balcony. The view from the bedroom was the garage roof of the property in front, when you looked out on the balcony to the left you do see the pink Royal Hawaiian and a bit of the ocean, and to the left the northern hills of Honolulu. The... more

I booked this hotel, as part a vacation package after doing some research on room rates and reading reviews here. This hotel is very close to many eateries, as well as shopping, and night life. While this hotel is not an ocean front property it just a few blocks away from Waikiki Beach, although access may be slightly blocked by... more
