Royal Kuhio 1606 - Spacious Studio with Diamond Head City Views in the Heart of Waikiki!

Nice clean apartment in a good location

The location was very convenient to everything in Waikiki: two walking blocks from the ocean. Uber ride from airport if you didn't have a rental car, and bus stop conveniently located on same block. The unit is very dated but has comfortable beds, plenty of towels for two people, decent appliances (toaster oven, rice cooker, toaster, microwave, etc. It was furnished with two beds a couch and dresser. Since we were mostly out of the unit, it was more than adequate for a week's stay. The gym facility was adequate but nothing to rave about. We didn't use the pool as we preferred checking out the various beaches on the west, north and east shores. Problem with the shower drain was addressed within 24hrs ( and would have been sooner had we been home when the plumber was available) and the plumber was very polite and unclogged the drain. Every interaction with the host or representative of the rental company was very pleasant and Ayumi-san was very responsive and helpful regarding paying for the car parking spot and arranging for the plunber.

The location on Kuhio was extremely noisy. The temperature was not hot enough to justify using the somewhat broken down looking air conditioner. We slept with the windows and sliding door open but the traffic and noise from the bars and music from outdoor venues went on until very early in the morning. I was advised to book a unit facing away from the ocean next time. The elevators were very slow and generally packed with people (esp those checking out in the morning with a lot of luggage). One elevator was out of commission while we were there which made it even more inconvenient.

Location

A lot of cockroach inside the cabinet.the bed wasn’t comfortable need upgrade .the aircon was so load and water is dripping a lot there is a bucket that you need to Empty because your lanai will get flooding because of the aircon.the aircon it’s in the living room .its doesn’t cool up at the bedroom that’s why it’s hot.only living room gets colder .towel they only give us 4 towels for 5 nights stay.for 4 person 1 towel each for 5 days stay sucks.which it’s a no because u need more than 1 towel each person we ended up buying towel from the store.the worse part of our stay was the shower.when you are taking for a shower the water won’t drain so fast so the bathtub will get full of water.you can’t take a shower longer than 5 minutes the water will go to the floor need to get it fix.the only good with this property was the location you pay for the location.overall the place need more upgrade .
