Million-dollar views for budget-conscious visitors

For the visitor looking to roll out of bed and onto the sand without breaking the bank, the Waikiki Circle is ready to accommodate. Located across the street from Waikiki Beach on a stretch unblocked by other hotels, access to the beach is quick. The hotel's unique circle shape means a good chance for amazing ocean views from your private balcony. Expect friendly service and modest, island-style rooms. Borrow mats, floats and other beach gear from the hotel.  

Highlights
  • Oceanfront rooms offer views of a lifetime
  • Borrow beach equipment from the hotel, including beach mats, rafts and chairs
  • Free beach pail and shovel for kids


Location

The Waikiki Circle sits on Waikiki's most happening shopping and dining strip across the street from the best stretch of sand and swimming on Waikiki Beach. The Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium and 200-acre Kapiolani Park are a 10- to 15-minute walk from the hotel.

Rooms

Rooms have tastefully simple island style with an emphasis is on the view. Catch glimpses of sea or wake up to in-your-face, panoramic ocean views from your private balcony. Flat-screen TV, refrigerator, free daily newspaper, air conditioning and high-speed Internet (fees apply) ensure coziness.

Dining

The hotel's central location means an abundant selection of restaurants in every direction. For a local-style plate lunch under $10, try Hyatt on the Beach one block away. A few minutes away you will find the award-winning Sansei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar and Tiki's Grill & Bar, serving upscale island dishes.

Noisy place

Great location, beach is a cross the steer, but very noisy place, we couldn't sleep due to the loud noise from the streets and car parking garages near by. All rooms have very old window frames, very loud old air conditioners. Shower has poor water flow. Hot water was gone for 2 days. We booked city view room and it was harassing that people from the next parking lot can see everything in our room, so we had to keep closed the curtains all the time.

Comfort in good location

Shops are around, close to beach, and having a balcony. wifi internet access, parking, is a plus to a hotel.

Mediocre hotel, great location

The only reason to stay at this hotel is because of its central location across the street from the beach. The only other good thing is the friendly staff. The rooms are small. There is a small fridge in the room, but no microwave. The shower is painfully small and the head cannot even be moved. The most annoying thing was the $10.50 per day mandatory amenities fee. The claimed things covered by this were daily newspapers, a DVD kiosk, and wifi. The only thing I used was the wifi which certainly shouldn't have cost anywhere near $10 per day. These types of surprise hidden fees annoy me no end and it caused me to deduct a star from my rating.

Perfect location

This hotel has the perfect location right across from the beach. It's also centrally located in Waikiki so I was able to walk pretty much anywhere up and down the Waikiki strip. The room is on the small side and the shower is tiny, but the location and the view really makes up for the room size.

If you love burgers, try Teddy's! They have the best burgers and they have garlic or spicy fries.

Unimpressed

I chose this hotel over others that were cheaper because of reviews that I had seen online. And I was underwhelmed. The hotel is old, the rooms are small, and there are no amenities. And my supposed ocean view room was hampered by a noisy outdoor AC unit on the next building that made sitting on the balcony impossible. I would've been better off staying in a better known chain hotel.

Nice!

Not a crazy over the top hotel, Does not have a pool and the rooms are small, and the bathroom really small....but for us it was location location location. the width of the street away from the beach, walking distance of everything. the price was fair. we liked it. Staff was solid helped us with whatever we needed, ex. Directions, early check in, late check out, and what not. It worked for us.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

When you cross the street the beach is right there but so are all the people, just walk 5 mins down the sidewalk west of there and you get much more sandy beaches to yourself and far less people in the water. if you have a car take the 15-20 min drive west to Sandy Beach Park, far less people all sandy beaches and waters no rocks or coral for the most part. Also there can be some big waves!
