This hotel is in a great location! Literally a block away from Waikiki beach, 15 min walk from Diamond Head, and a mile walk to Leonard's Bakery! The only downside is you have to pay a daily fee to use the parking garage, which since I was staying in the hotel I though would be included, they will also get you with a daily fee if the pool is open. The room was clean and had shampoos and lotions provided and there was a coffee maker, rice maker, and kettle provided! I will totally be staying there again, but four stars for the parking garage fee.

Rooms need a upgrade desperately dirty capet,stains Furniture scratches chipped. Pool unavailable, no bbq and the older not too old employee who checked me in needs a refresh in his customer service skills,rude not friendly at all

I want to give a big shout out to two very exceptional ladies at the Waikiki Banyan hotel; Manager, Michelle and Kelly at the front desk. Thank you again for your kindness while we were vacationing there in April. I want to express my gratitude to both of you for showing “Aloha” and helping me while I was visiting your beautiful island. 😊

The only things good about this hotel is the location & kitchen. Furniture & carpet is almost as old as the hotel. All curtains have holes in them & are worn out. I stayed in several rooms do to leaving for home a week at a time then coming back for work. Im glad I didn't have to spend my money to stay.

Amazing place. I traveled solo with my 2yo and it was a blast. Great location, we had a view looking at diamond head. loved it. the playground is great. the elevators are annoying but no problem except one day, we had to walk and I carried my stroller down 11 flights of stairs hahah

AirBNB'd A room for a great deal of $100 a night. Was a comfortable nice room with the a fold out futon for the 3rd person of our group. The pool is very nice and clean. Ours came with parking included which was nice. It is a short walk to the beach and many hotels and Restaurants.

We stayed for 4 nights.
The whole place is dated but a lot of Hawaii seems to be stuck in the glory days of the 80's.

I was advised that all the holiday units are individually owned which explained how different all the rooms look. To quote "Some owners care about the appearance of the rooms and some don't."

So if you're booking, keep in mind that the photo's will be of an apartment that is the best high end but you could end up in a room like the one we originally had where the bed was so old that it was sunk in the middle and was like sleeping in a bowl. The staff were kind enough to move us to a better room in better condition but it still wasn't the resort modern looking place we originally payed for and were looking forward to.

Staff are really helpful and friendly and they have a nice pool with a nice view and the location is great which I have given an extra star for.

No way whatsoever in any universe or dimension that could be measured by any mathematical formula now or into the future is the price per night worth what they are charging.

Great location with nice ocean views. Beach is a block away and waikiki shops and beach road are very close by. Suites are very spacious. Great hotel if you manage to get an upgraded suite. Rooms that are not upgraded are really dirty and filled with roaches. Room service is great.

Aloha,
The staff were helpful and courteous. Our suite was clean and we had a unobstructed view of the ocean! We had our meals out in the lanai each day, which was very relaxing! Housekeeping came everyday and performed their daily general cleaning. She also, replenished our coffee. The parking we paid 7 days in advanced so it was $60 instead of $70 for 7 days, which is cheap! Overall, I would definitely recommend this place, not bad for the  price considering the close proximity to the beach!

The staff was polite and helpful. They have a decent pool and tons of BBQ grills and kids area. They also have a free DVD rental that is nice. The parking is expensive through the hotel but if you drive around you can pay cash for a week and cut the price almost in half. The rooms are huge and you can cut off the beds from the living area. Great for family stay.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!

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
