Holiday Surf Hotel (with full kitchen)

This property offered all we were looking for in a one bedroom full kitchen situation. The furnishings are best described as basic and that worked for us not in looking for 5 star. Cooking facilities and the Internet worked great. Bed comfortable. Most importantly NO noise/sounds from other rooms were heard. The proprietor Pat was FANTASTIC to work with in that he was immediately responsive to any questions or needs. (You'll find the front desk unmanned but Pat lives across the hall from it and is a simple phone call away). Did not expect an ocean or Diamond Head view with the address but had a nice pastoral view of the canal and mountains behind. Price (including parking rate), and location were excellent.

Considering that this is a budget hotel - a great value for the money. Perfect location and very helpful personnel, easy to communicate and fixing all what we needed. "Vintage" style of furniture does not matter - photos show clearly what to expect. Late arrival fee was a bit of a surprise, but acceptable as it is a small family owned hotel. Now clear info about it available on the web.

The location of the hotel is excellent, across the street from the Ala Wai Canal, 5 minutes on foot from International Market Place (a very nice mall), 10 minutes on foot from Waikiki Beach. It is located quite close to the Waikiki Aquarium. The area is full of restaurants, shops, bars, the sound of the ocean. The hotel room was big, spacious. From the point of view of cleanliness, I have a few observations: it can be seen that cleaning is not done in detail, for example, the stove and the stove holes have not been cleaned for some time, as well as the toilet paper holder. Otherwise, the staff was very kind and professional. There were no incidents and during the entire stay I completely relaxed.

was able to stay past check out - paid 1/2 day, which is great when you have a flight at 11pm - basically adding another (less stressful) vacation day. the kitchen was fine; staff was friendly and accommodating; bathroom was fine; enjoyed morning coffee on balcony; had (paid)parking spot; location - (20min 1.5km walk to main beaches); shopping and pubs close; driving strategic - easy and fast to get out of Waikiki. If you are a family of 4 - it doesn't get much better.

Good place to stay in Hawaii. We stayed here for 11 nights. Great location, 7 -10 minutes to the Waikiki Beach. If you ask, they might provide you with everything you need, like beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling mask, etc. Cleaning is 3 times per week. It's a little bit old hotel, so some things in the room are old fashioned, but in good condition. Think of it as a retro vibe :) We had amazing views from our balcony, but unfortunately, the street side was too loud because of the road nearby. But if you have good sleep, it's not a problem. In a room we had a kitchen, so it's a big plus if you need a special kind of food to eat or just trying to save money on restaurants. Parking is available in the basement and priced reasonably. The manager was helpful and accommodating. Recommend this hotel!
