As stated above, those nine steps up to the check in were daunting with heavy bags! Nobody seemed to be on hand to help, so I had to leave the bag on the street to find help. I was 3 hours early for check in, and the check in person was not about to let me check in early until... More

Stayed here for seven nights. The location is great! Close to the beach and shopping. The staff were helpful as was the concierge. Downside? It was super noisy! We stayed on the 6th floor and were right next to a parking garage. I would give the room a 3/5 for cleanliness as the bedding and towels were fresh of course..... More

This was the second time I stayed at the Wave. The high quality of service that I received from the beginning to the end of my trip, and the clean and well-maintained facility are just some of the reasons why I keep returning. The location of this hotel is only 10 minutes walk away from the beach and 2 minutes... More

We stayed at the Aqua Wave based on a recommendation of friends who had visited two months earlier. It is very convenient to the beach and next door to the International Market. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Aside from the noise at night (must be some serious partying going on), it was a great location and I'd go... More

We stayed 3 nights and found everything very satisfactory. The room was a good size and very clean. The bathroom was a little small, but again very clean. The location was excellent, near the restaurants and shopping and a short walk to the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful and were knowledgeable about the area. Other reviews have said...

Nice hotel, staff was very nice and helpful. Only stayed 1 night so we didn't use the pool. Loved the location, would like to spend more time there. Was a bit noisey through the night, but it was street noise. Waikiki on a Saturday night, was totally expecting it!

We stayed at the Aqua Wave for 3 nights and found it to be a very good choice for Honolulu. It is not located on the beach but it is a short 10 minute walk over to Waikiki. The International Market is adjacent to the hotel and there are lots of restaurants nearby. We were upgraded to a suite so... More

We enjoyed this hotel, the staff was very friendly and helpful, even the housekeeper was lovely, the room was spacious and clean, nothing special about the furnishings, rather dated, but comfortable bed and we had good views. Its in a great position next door to the international market (which has great food) and just a short stroll to Waikiki Beach,... More

I stayed at the Aqua Waikiki Wave for business for the week. Excellent value for the rate you will pay!!! Awesome location - I could easily walk to all restaurants, shopping. It's right next door to the International Market. The main beach was walkable as well. The service was great. I had an eighth floor room and could see the... More
