Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel - Honolulu

We had an ocean front room as requested just off the pool and the sunrises were spectacular. The hotel staff were polite, professional and friendly. We will most certainly return to this hotel in the future. Living in New York makes Hawaii a long trip but once we arrived at our hotel we went into our relaxed and just enjoy this piece of paradise.

Hotel has many pluses such as location. Don't expect a quiet nights sleep as patio door does not block any sound. Breakfast was very inconsistant from good to non-existant which depended on the day. Room was very clean.

Good location. The breakfast was a little iffy. Every thing was packaged. Beach was Great. Good snorkeling right out front. We had a partial ocean view which was great.

A family with kids should consider this hotel as the great choice to stay. The beach is just cross the street and surround area is very nice all time.

Good location to the beach - across the street. Friendly staff to help. Most buses and tours stop in front of the hotel or across the street at the Marriott. Parking kind of expensive if you have a rental car. We rented one for the last two days to drive around the rest of the island.

convenient and close to everything and great area for the money.

very convinient but very lausy

We spent our one night at Waikiki here. I chose it for it's proximity to the beach, which was great. It is an easy walk across the street. I think, though, now that I've seen the neighborhood and surrounding hotels, I'd pay the same price for a nicer hotel another block away. The Aston was clean, people were very nice, free breakfast by the pool was lovely with a talented accoustic guitarist, BUT it was crowded and some elevators weren't working and the few that were did a poor job of accomodating the numbers of people. And you don't want to take the stairs every time if you're on the 21st floor!!! Our room was tight for the 4 of us, but the beds were comfy and the room was clean.

as other guests noted the elevators were extremely slow. great location to walk to shops in waikiki beach.

The hotel is beautiful and very well decorated. It almost sells itself--ALMOST! Then you meet the staff and the lack of customer service. One major problem with this hotel is that the the bell staff and valet staff play double duty. This causes MAJOR backups in the garage. On a routine basis I would call from my room 10-15 minutes before going to the valet to get my car only to still have to wait an additional 40-50 minutes for my car to pull up. ALMOST AN HOUR WAIT WAS THE NORM! This is not good if you have appointments to make certain attractions on the island. Also, if you like being called "Bra" instead of "Mr. Such and Such" you will be at home. The front desk is equally as poor with customer service and was very unaccommodating. I was in town for a triathlon and had a $7000 bike that I wanted to store in a secure location. The lady behind the counter informed me that bikes were not allowed on the property and that I had to park it on the street. Calling all bikers! Does this appeal to you and your race needs? I think not. Later after talking with the hotel manager arrangements were made to keep it behind in the office (where it was maladjusted after being tuned for the race!) The maid service...well if they get to your room by 3pm you should feel fortunate. Honestly it is a crying shame, because this property is beautiful and in a perfect location on Waikiki, but the staff kills this place. Don't stay here.

I was very pleased with the accomodations. The hotel is at the end of the strip. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The good: the hotel location is perfect. Right on Waikiki, and close to a lot of stuff. The bar (Tiki's) is excellent, and has a pretty happening nightlife and a bunch of free entertainment. For the price, this is an excellent hotel. The free breakfast, although somewhat of a "cattle call," is very nice to have. This can be worth quite a bit of money, considering prices in Honolulu. Throw in a free cooler, and it's an even better deal. They had some free entertainment at breakfast (hula dancer), which was a really nice touch. The not-so-good. The place is crowded (not surprisingly), so getting around can be bumpy. Mostly it's the small things, but they can be irritating. The elevators are slow, crowded, and you feel like you're waiting for a NY subway train to arrive. The internet didn't work, and the staff offered little help on that. Overall, a really great hotel considering the location and price.

Great location, friendly staff nice value!

We only stayed one night. The desk clerk changed our "standard room" which would have been on the 4th floor and put us on the 18th floor. We had a fantastic view of Waikiki and the ocean. We visited the Honolulu Zoo which was in walking distance from the hotel. We were in walking distasnce of the International Marketplace as well as other beautiful sights along the avenue. We found no problems with the hotel, staff or our room. I would certainly recommend this hotel to others.

The location is very convenient being across the street from the beach and also had a great view of the beach. However, the elevators were very slow and would stop on random floors without the button being pressed. What made it worse was the elevators and hallways were not air conditioned.

My only complaint was with the a/c unit... it was tedious to keep the room comfortable and i ended up with a cold from the unit blowing on me throughout my stay. The hotel itself was really nice and the staff was nice too. Maintenance did try to help me with the a/c. The view was great and the location is hard to beat. Convenient to food and all of Waikiki fun. I think they rate a 4 star.

When we first checked in, the toilet was broken. After a several hour wait after calling the front desk, we went to the front desk to complain. The toilet was fixed after another 3 hour wait. Fresh towels were never given unless we went to the front desk. I understand the "environmental friendly" hotels but 5 days with the same towels gets pretty funky. The location is great. The beach is right across the street. Breakfast is a cattle call. If you are not there at 6:30 AM, they will run out of food. The food is tolerable at best. If no maintenance is done to the hotel soon, this will have to fight for a 1 star rating. The elevators are in a sad state. The rooms are showing a lot of wear. My opinion is find another hotel.

This hotel is very cofortable. You're not paying a ridiculous price. This hotel is a great value for the location and comforts it provides. I would definately recommend this hotel to the first time visitors to Hawaii.

Very nice bang for the buck. Great location, being where the action is a consideration for a family with middle and high school kids.

We just returned from a weeks vacation in Hawaii, 4 nights spent at the Aston Waikiki Beach. The hotel is in a great location, at the end of the strip right across the street from the beach. It's convenient to everything, but off to one side so it's a little less busy. The room was clean, bed was comfortable, with a nice balcony. The air conditioning wasn't the strongest (it worked better at night than during the day), but we weren't often in the room in the middle of the day so we didn't really mind. They have a small but pretty good gym (both cardio equipment and free weights). The pool is small, but well located so it gets plenty of sun. Plenty of restaurants nearby with a variety of food options. All this, with the bonus of a great rate made this a more than satisfying hotel option during out stay.

We were very pleasantly surprised that the check in clerk gave us a room on the 18th floor and we had a fabulous view of the ocean and the neighborhood. This is a very nice hotel in a great location. All the staff was kind,courteous, and ever so helpful. :-)

This was our first time at the Aston Waikki Beach and we would definetly return. Walk across the street and you're at the beach! On the left side is a prime spot for boogie boarding and surfing, and on the right side is swimming area enclosed by retaining walls. Great beach area for little ones or for floating on a raft. Lots of restaurants near by and the International Market Place is just a few blocks away. Great Value!

The room was comfortable, yet small. Only stayed one night and that is all we'd want to. Parking was horrible. Very small drive way and LOTS of people coming and going. Bellman was very friendly and helpful though. Good location in town. Some staff friendly, some not. Not our favorite hotel on Oahu.

The people at the desk were great, and the room was clean with a very comfortable bed.

Every time I asked for my car, it took FOREVER. One day I asked what the problem was, and his reply was, we have over 50 cars to many. NOT my problem. If I have to Valet my car, I expect reasonable service and at this price, I should have parked it in another parking structure and walked, it would have been faster and maybe cheaper. Every morning we waited and waited and waited for an elevator that had room for, 1,2,3 or for the 4 of us, so we could go down to the lobby. Everyday we took the stairs. UNEXCEPTABLE. The last day we had not water to shower with. they sent us up to the top floors to shower, the first room had NO water. So back down to the front desk and back up again. I now have to travel to Honolulu every Quarter on business, BUT I won't be staying here, FOR SURE.

This hotel was in a great location. We had an excellend view of Waukiki beach (room 2211) (stayed July 2-6, 20090. The rooms are a bit dated but nothing that would stop me from staying there again. The elevators were a bit goofy and sometimes would go back to the lobby if someone got in and hit the lobby button while you were going up. A little inconvienience but nothing major.

Our vacation was excellent. The staff our nice. We will go back again!

Staff was very accomodating. The room was sorta compact (not much walking space). Ceiling in the bathroom too low. Shower steams up celing and potential for mold to build.

The location is great.Hotel is right across from the beach. Room and bathroom were very small. Upon checking in I was informed that I had a free upgrade to a room with a partial view. After walking around the building, I realized all room had a partial view. There was no upgrade. Partial view is nice. I would stay at this hotel again.

Great location. Our room had an amazing ocean view. Beds were very comfy. Breakfast was mediocre. Restaurant was too expensive.

As I had read with numerous review of Waikiki hotels, the rooms are VERY small and after 3 nights we (family of 4) were ready to check out. Also, the elevators were horrible. You needed your key to go up, but they didn't explain how to use it and a lot of the time it didn't work. With all that said, the location was excellent - right on the beach but far enough away from the nightlife noise. All is in walking distance. The breakfasts were very convenient, especially being able to pack it up for an excursion. Wolfgang Puck's Express restaurant right downstairs was a great place to pick up pretty inexpensive food. We needed extra towels in our room, and the service was very fast. I would definitely recommend this hotel

I did a lot of research into Waikiki before I planed my trip. This Hotel is in a great location. the rooms were clean and a little on the small side but not bad for two people. there are plenty of place to eat.( for all budgets) Overall you get exactly what they advertise. the morning breakfast is ok much better than your standard continental. the only thing that I had to complain about is the rooms can be noisy( the doors opening and closing) Also be aware of the 22.00 dollars a day charge for parking. hope this helps

Check in was quick and easy. Had to pay $22/day plus tax for hotel parking. Room was a little cramp for family of 4, including 2 teenagers. Room a/c was very musty, but we opened the sliding door. Excellent view of Waikiki. Street and bar noise died down by midnight. Buffet breakfast was a key factor in choosing hotel, since most don't offer. Access to beach was great. Kids loved the water activities. Overall, the location was excellent. You pay for the location, but the breakfast tipped the scales in their favor.

Great location, comfortable, clean, functional room with great views. For the money, I'd say that this hotel is hard to beat.

This is a great hotel. The location is perfect especially for families with kids. It's with in walking distance to the Zoo and right across the street from the beach. The "breakfast on the beach" was also a good budjet saver.

We got a really good deal on this hotel room. It's right across from the beach, and our room had a very nice view of the beach. The room decor was adorable, and the bed was amazingly comfortable. All the staff was helpful, and the restaurant/bar (Tiki's) was fun-- there was live music and the crowd was definitely into it! Be aware that the elevator system seems a bit slow, so patience is a must. Always have your room key handy as the elevator won't work without it. The location is prime-- not only close to the beach, but you're right above several shops, and there is an ABC Store and a Starbucks several feet away.

great location, beautiful beach across the street, close to all shopping. The bed is very comfortable. Complimentary breakfast is a plus. However, AC in our room was repaired twice. One night, we ordered a movie that only had sound without images. Although the engineer came by within 5-10 minutes after I called the front desk, we were simply told there's nothing he could do.

The hotel itself was very nice and the price was very reasonable. Extra charges added up quickly when we had to pay for valet parking, slow internet, and surfboard storage.
