The hotel features practical amenities including free WiFi, a fitness center, tennis courts, a sauna, and a beachfront location.

Location

Situated on Paoakalani Avenue in Honolulu, Aston Waikiki Sunset is just 350 meters from Waikiki Beach, allowing you to reach the sand within a few minutes on foot. Nearby, you’ll find several dining options including Oceanarium Restaurant (243 m), Kokoa Bar by Ricard Chocolat (255 m), and Subway (347 m). The hotel is close to public transportation, with bus stops nearby serving routes like number 20, which can take you to central spots such as the Royal Hawaiian area. Although it’s a bit distant from the core shopping malls and main beaches, the proximity to the beach and local markets makes it convenient for beachgoers and those looking to explore Waikiki on foot or by bus.

Tips

  • If you value strong water pressure, consider bringing a portable showerhead or check the room upon arrival.

  • For quieter nights, choose a higher floor and be aware of possible street noise if windows are open.

Everything was great except for the really weak water pressure in the shower. The mountain view was amazing, and I spent a good amount of time chilling on the balcony with a coffee. The room was also very spacious and had a kitchen. The location was excellent, close to the beach and a supermarket.

We really liked the hotel. It boasted stunning views of the city from the 30th floor. The suite consisted of two rooms and a kitchen with a large refrigerator and stove. It was practically like an apartment. I would happily stay here longer. The hotel offers parking for a fee, but you can park for free on the surrounding streets.
As a gift, we were given shell beads and a card to rent a video from the vending machine downstairs. We didn't use the hotel pool. There was no bottled water available, even upon check-in.
If you're looking for a budget option in Honolulu, I recommend this hotel.

We had booked a two-bedroom suite, but one bedroom was changed to two rooms.
We went as a group of three (my husband and I and a friend), and it turned out to be a very comfortable stay.
We were also upgraded from a partial ocean view to an ocean view, so we were able to enjoy the view.
The facilities were old, but were sufficient considering we were only there to sleep. However, the shower water pressure was so weak I wondered if it was broken...

The trolley and bus stops were nearby, so getting around wasn't an issue, but it was a bit far from the center (around the Royal Hawaiian), so walking home was tiring.

We are quite disappointed at the stay. We spent over 200 dollar per night at booking for room above 27th floor with sea view. Then when we arrive, the bill increased 100 dollars per night as vacation/tax/facility usage without notification. We ended up paying more than 1300 USD for 4 nights. And there is no room cleaning for my entire stay. When I requested the cleaning, the front desk told me that cleaning is only available to the room every 5 nights. I had to take garbage bag downstairs. It’s not vacation at all. The kitchen smells greasy and terrible. The air conditioning carry kitchen smell. I cannot go to sleep with the smell, so I had to open windows to get some fresh air. Then I hear the loud noise ftom traffic downstair street…

The suite's sofa can be expanded into a large bed, and parking is $35 a day. It's only a few minutes' walk to the beach. There are many A, B, C stores nearby, so the price/performance ratio is good. The downside is that the shower water is quite small.
04.07.2025 Guest
The location was convenient, close to the bus stop for bus number 20.

I requested two beds when booking, but when I checked in, I was told that the hotel received a large bed. The front desk first said that I could upgrade to a room with two beds for an additional fee, and then said that I might be able to coordinate a twin room if I waited. Although I missed the time to watch the sunset at the beach, the problem was finally solved, and I appreciated the service of the front desk. In the future, when booking overseas hotels, I think I should write in English directly to avoid translation errors. The hotel is in a good location with convenient transportation. There are reminders to keep quiet everywhere, and it is really quiet. The self-service laundry service is very necessary for people who play in the sea every day.

The hotel is 1 block away from the beach. Everything was accessible by walk. Room was clean and big enough. I stayed partial ocean view room and it was pleasant to watch Diamond Head and Sunset from the room. We stayed 4 nights but there was no house keeping service during our stay. But we could ask extra towels and toiletries when needed. Good value for money. I recommend.

Was my favorite seafood buffet. Closed now.

When they started charging for birthday and and other celebration signs that divers placed in the fish tank that was the first sign that this place was going downhill. Food here was better about 10 years ago.
25.08.2016 Philip
lots of fun for little kids. they are closed for renovations. nobu bar will be opening up here. the "tanked" guys will be building the new aquarium.
09.06.2016 Shane
The aquarium is amazing and there are mermaids in the tank in the evening. The food was so delicious that I have been back multiple times. Each night the buffet changes. The breakfast buffet it huge and has an amazing selection of fruit, pastries, hot and cold choices. Wow
25.03.2016 Todd
The entire restaurant experience revolves around the spectacle of the aquarium. It is very entertaining. They have beautiful women in mermaid outfits that will swim by. Visually memorizing. But based on their food, it's really not worth it.

The worker had the light on "open" and a sign taped on "we will be right back"... We waited for a hour outside because there was a class going on inside and we tried to get info on when will they be "back" to serve us- the worker said the shop was CLOSED. We wasted a hour waiting. Don't waste your time if you want ice cream if you aren't prepared to spend hundreds of dollars to reserve the entire shop. Oh and the guy was extremely RUDE when he said it was CLOSED with a gesture... They are nice when they want your money, and if there is large group to reserve the shop, you can say goodbye to being treated as a human being.

If you are willing to pay $1.25 for ONE regular Oreo cookie half-dipped in chocolate, you might like this store. Everything else seemed equally overpriced, to me. Even the worker behind the counter found the pricing laughable.

The store was empty besides my wife and I and the worker for the half hour we were there. I did not find that surprising; at those prices, I imagine thay have many one-time visitors / customers.
03.09.2013 Randy
My wife and I have a small Chocolate company in Colorado and where staying in the Queen Kapiolani for a week. We stumbled into this little shop never knowing they are serious about there sweets! I cant say we ventured into anything in Waikiki that could touch the vibe of this place. No chain, no Franchise, just pure love by the owner who was working. we talked to him for about an hour while enjoying an amazing hand pulled Vanilla Frappe with Kona Beans. He then told us about the chocolate classes and we joined for the upcoming Saturday class. We actually learned more about chocolate in the chocolate class than we ever knew from 20 years of making chocolates! This owner if very passionate about his craft as well as inspiring about Hawaiian Agriculture. Def. Hot spot while in Waikiki! Will be back!

Love these guys. Always friendly and they make great sandwiches.
13.07.2017 Mahmut
Today,we wanted to get tuna sandwich.We have food restrictions.We asked person to change the knife and be careful with paper,which should not touch any other meat.The way the employee (according to him he was the manager)was really weird.He pretended not to hear what we said.It was piece of meat on cheese and we asked not to use it.He literally threw it to side,showing the worst attitude.The owner should take care of this problem and Subway should take care an action about this store do other people will not have similar experience.
24.06.2017 Heather
I normally don't post bad reviews, but I couldn't let this one go. I went in one afternoon during what looked like a pretty slow period. There was one customer ahead of me, paying, and two walking in, with three or four staff members on (maybe more). The staff rushed through and were borderline rude in an attempt to clear their three person line. My sandwich was thrown together in a sloppy mess that fell apart as soon as I opened the paper. The bread was old and crumbly, as if it had been sitting there for days. I couldn't even finish the sandwich as there was mustard pouring out all sides of it, making it impossible to pick up. Really disappointing experience.

Reasonable price for a quick bite

Who doesnt like subway, only thing local adverts say $6 for sub of the day, (footlong) but over here in waikiki its $7 not a biggy but just good to know so your not caught out
