Perfect for your Oahu holiday

Stayed in the room 9 nights with 2 people total. Had a great time. Loved the location of the hotel. Loved the key less door lock, never had to worry about loosing or forgetting a key to the room. We did not have a car at all. There are 2 bus stops with in 60 seconds of the hotel, was able to take the bus anywhere we wanted to go. But most days just walked across the street to the beach. Also was able to walk to the grocery store (safeway) which was a little over a mile away for all my grocery needs. Condo owner was great to deal with and made everything very easy.

The whole point of my trip to Waikiki was to get away from it all and this location definitely did the trick. While the room itself doesn't really have a view, all you have to do is is hit the sun deck or better yet just walk out of the hotel. The zoo is literally across the street which is filled with dense trees and Diamond Head directly behind it giving you that pseudo forrest feel that i was looking for. At the same time, you have a great view of the beach which is just a block away from the hotel.

Great thing about the location is that the street doesnt have too much traffic flowing through it so it gives you a bit of an isolation feel but turning the corner puts you right into the heart of Waikiki. It's only blocks away from the stores, bars (Lulu's is right on the corner), and night clubs.

While the room is on the small side its very functional and perfect for 1 or 2 people. He did a great job furnishing the place and the bed is amazing....need to get that mattress for myself but I digress...Had a couple of guests who were all impressed by the room as well. I highly recommend it.

I usually look for condos instead of hotel rooms so that I can eat some meals in and make my own coffee. Studio 505 at the Waikiki Grand in Waikiki is one of the nicest condos I have rented in Hawaii. Although small, the space has been very nicely furnished and decorated and it is obvious much thought went into how to best utilize space. There is a flat screen TV and highspeed internet and a full refrigerator with a large microwave and 2 stove top burners. The location cannot be beat and it is very quiet. While there is a nice lanai, it is not on the "view" side of the building if that is important to you, but you will not find anything with a view that is this nice for anything close to this price. Overall highly recommended.

I was surprised to find such a good deal during the holidays in Waikiki. I thought there would be a catch, but there wasn't. The studio is literally one block from the beach. It was very comfortable and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the flat screen tv was great. We stayed for a week and really felt at home during that time. The owner, Nevin, is very friendly. All in all it was a great experience and recommend any single individuals or couples to stay there.

I was out in Oahu for 10 days and this little studio played a big part of my great stay. Perfect for one and easily comfortable for two. No deception here, what you see in the photos is what you get. The studio is well-maintained and clean. Location is close to everything, right across from the Honolulu Zoo and a block from the beach. The kichenette is perfect for reheating leftovers or to cook your own food for a meal in, everything you need is right there and provided. There is complimentary broadband internet available, which is great to have. An onsite laundry facility makes things incredibly convenient, pack light and you can wash what you need Nevin was very attentive and was always available when you had any questions. I will definitely be keeping this place in mind for my next stay and recommending it to friends. Thanks to Nevin for a great visit!

I recently wanted a week end away from my west side home and spent a week end at Studio 505 in Waikiki. I totally loved it. The building itself is a little bit older, which brings on a more homey feel. The room has been renovated and seems to be just about all brand new. As you can imagine, it was quite clean. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that the mattress was some sort of comfort sleep squish down into it foamy mattress. I slept so well while staying there. With the mini kitchenette, long term stay would be quite comfortable and convenient. The room was fully stocked with dishes, to include pots and pans so that you can cook on the stove top!!!! That's saying a lot for a Waikiki vacation rental. The location of this rental is perfect. When you walk downstairs and exit the building, you have direct access to hundreds of Waikiki shops and restaurants to include Starbucks for you coffee junkies. You are literally just steps to the beach, which I don't mind saying, I spent a lot of time on....daytime and evening. It's absolutely beautiful. I hope to stay there again one day for another week end getaway.

I would highly recommend this rental and will be staying there again myself.
