Royal Kuhio

This condo is not the most up to date. We didn’t necessarily mind that. It had what we were specifically looking for in a kitchen so we could prepare our own food and not leave in poverty. Eating out here would be extremely expensive. The other thing we wanted was parking. Parking in Waikiki is a nightmare. The main bed was good but the pull out on the couch was not great. Bad mattress and left you a bit sore the next day. If I was just rating these things d probably go 4 out of 5 stars. The kicker was all out extra visitors (cockroaches). Not like an infestation but we were killing them regularly. We used a good share of cockroach spray. We went down to see if the Vacation Internationale people could help and they told us “yeah you are in Hawaii there are cockroaches.” They did send someone up to spray but I was disappointed when he just whipped out the same Walmart roach spray we’d been using ourselves. I am not sure if like nicer hotels and every place just expects roaches in everything . If so I guess that’s just what you get in Hawaii. Maybe that is not the norm. I don’t know. Overall the room served out needs but we won’t miss the cockroaches. Maybe update the interior of these rooms and make them really nice too. We felt like part of the roach prob was in part due to the older interior. Not sure if that’s true. Next time I am still looking for a place with a kitchen and parking but it won’t be the Royal Kuhio. Oh the pool was cold too.

The hotel was older but nice, we were under the impression that we were getting a room that slept 4, as in two beds and we did but it was a pullout couch with a paper thin mattress that I wouldn’t even let my dog sleep on let alone my daughter and mother in law. Outside of that the place was clean and average.

Area is central, condo has everything you need and it’s clean. Find a cockroach here and there but it’s expected as they are all over Hawai’i even at the most expensive hotels (we’ve stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, they had roaches too :) ) Unit could use maintenance on their sliding doors. Ours was very heavy and gets stuck at times. Whenever the upstairs unit opens their sliding door we could hear it and feel the vibrations so clearly it isn’t just our unit’s sliding door. Kids loved all the water toys left behind and guests ate free to use them including beach chairs. Overall we had a good stay. Free parking and bedroom were main reasons why we booked this place. Stayed here a couple of times before but in different units. You will save $50 a day on parking as it’s standard for hotels and most condos to charge 50-75/day for parking. So thank you Kuhio!

The sofa bed could be upgraded, it was very uncomfortable to sleep in. Overall, the stay was great.

We had Jack hammering feet away from our condo windows during our stay. They would wake us up and go until around 5. Playing loud music when the hammers, drills and saws were quiet. I undersrand they are upgrading their building but we received no compensation for the horrible noise and had to leave the whole day. We got a condo so we could enjoy and relax some days. There was no warning at the time of booking. We asked for a partial refund and were refused.

Good location walking distance to shopping beach and restaurant and free parking. Enjoyed are stay there.

We stayed 4nights and had a wonderful time 😃

We come every year and love it.

For our fast one night stay, it was perfect

Friendly staff and a fully furnished space so you can cook and enjoy nights in your room if you wanted to. Nice pool and gaming area along with barbecue's that you can use.

Very nice!

9 night stay. Corner room on 11th floor. Very spacious with plenty of closet space. Basic amenities provided. Shampoo and conditioner not supplied. Coffee provided but not tea. General condition good but very dated. Handy location for pink trolley line. Also has out front area for uber etc. Constant traffic noise especially at night made sleeping difficult.

The staff were pleasant and helpful. Accommodation were clean and comfortable. We did not use the parking garage but we knew it was reserved. Parking in this area is very limited. 24 hr security and after hours assistance if needed.

very clean property near everything walkable distance to everything shop at right across the street lots of good places to eat. Highly recommend recommended good location.

We were very peased with the location and the property. Our bed was very comfortable along with the pillows. Plenty of room.

It's a 50 year old building that they are renovating without telling guests. We had constant jack hammering and drilling between 8.30am till 5pm. Only day there is no work being done is Sunday. A lot of the work is being done on the pool deck so you can't relax there during the day. Work will continue at least until August. The condo it self was okay although the sofa bed was cheap and uncomfortable.

there is contruction right at my room. too anoying until 5pm everyday. the elevator smell bad. they dont clean the room unless you stay more than 9 days. we stay in dirty bathroom and no one clean. smell bad never come back

Hotel room had many roaches. Pull out couch and sheets were dirty. Parking was inconvenient. Only good things were that it was walking distance to the shopping area and security seemed tight.

The only thing we didn't like was the sofa bed the mattress was horrible and the last day we had to shift to different room due to water leaking from the ceiling in the restroom. Otherwise everything was really nice nearby to international market and the beach and the parking was free and was gated.

The property was in a great location and was very clean. Would stay there again!
