Great rooms at a great price

Very nicely renovated rooms and it was large and we could see the ocean from our balcony.The staff was very nice and helpful.Very close to many ammenities.The only down fall that I found was that in the early hours the vehicle noise on the road esp.the (harleys) could be heard like our windows were open which they weren't .No pool but not hard to find someplace to swim in Hawaii.

Comfortable with the lights on

The staff was excellent and very friendly. Had fun conversations with everyone. The Hotel is old but not aged, it is comfortable but not fancy. It was safe and close to everything we needed. We were out of the room all day and it was comfortable to fall a sleep in. Our room's Air conditioner was great and the room got to cold on a 70 degree setting. A ten minute stroll to the beach. Shopping and dining close. Great value for the family traveler on a budget.

Blazin Steaks is a hole in the wall two man operation recommended by hotel staff. Very few tables but good food in a styrofoam box for those who want cheap food. No ambiance but we ate good food cheap for Waikiki. Not for gourmets!

Nice place for the price

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and accomodating. Location is only 2 blocks from the beach so that is good. Huge room! However, a tad loud as we were on the side facing another building.

Be aware of limited parking

1. Parking is additional $23 if you can space. 2. TV in the room was smaller than my home computer screen. 3. Parking was non-existent and directions to another lot was hard to follow 4. Desk clerk was awesome with customer service 5. Room was clean 6. One elevator was out for renovation which left only one elevator in service.

ran down

Aqua Hotel should be rated only "one star" or less. Thef first room they gave us their bed sheets had stains all over it, I found bed a bug on the bug and few flies all over the lamp. AND their carpet was dirty too. My daughter was afraid to sleep in that room. I was tempted to check in to another hotel but since we already paid for it. There was no way they would give us a refund. We went back to the lobby to complain. Good that the front desk gave us another room.

A good choice

My room was very quiet, the bed was excellent, the staff was friendly, check in was easy and the staff person accommodating, and I had no difficulty getting a parking place in the rather small lot. The location is close to downtown shops -- a half a block from the International Marketplace -- and an easy walk to the beach. My room was small but just fine form my needs. Compared to other hotels in this price range where I have stayed, this is a better choice.

Aqua Waikiki Pearl

Hotel lobby very clean with secure entrance after hours. Finding entrance was a challenge though since it is located among street shopping stores. Two elevators service guests and have some age to them giving a dated look to Aqua Waikiki Pearl hotel. Catwalks provide access to rooms equal or greater to upscale hotels having mini fridge freezer, microwave, counter space. Sleep quality like all area hotels is with traffic noise early an late due to main route. Overall your close to everything enjoyable with nightlife atmosphere. Loved the clean room, full tub/shower and floor layout of superior room with balcony. You also did not hear the exterior mounted A/C run as much like other hotels. I would recommend a visit you are close and parking is secluded.
