Great hotel for families
This hotel is a great option for budget-conscious families. There is no way a family of five can realistically do Hawaii on a budget...but we did. Our room was clean and had plenty of room for all of us. We bought food at the Safeway up the street for the entire week which saved a bunch. There was a full working kitchen with all utensils, etc. Beach was literally walking distance to hotel. Parking was $12 for 24 hours...so if you plan it right, you might only have to pay for a few days. (I was there for 5 days, but only paid for 4 days)

24 hour parking is $12...so we would leave before the 24 hours was up and explore. In and out feature was the best.

Wedding
Our experience at the Aston Wikiki Banyan was awesome the hotel was good a little out dated. We got married there and bought both of our kids. The room was good. The only thing we did not like was the master bedroom just had sliding doors not a actual door and the bathroom was in the bedroom awkward. Overrral we had a blast and the wedding was beautiful. The staff was friendly and the room was kept clean. Would stay there again :)

Perfect hotel for my family
Hotel one block from Waikiki Beach. We chose the mountain view which was spectacular with a constant mauka breeze. Room was perfect for a family of five which includes a full kitchen. Rooms were dated but very, very clean. Housekeeping staff were fantastic. Parking cost twelve dollars a day and a ten dollar a day amenity fee included internet connection, morning newspaper, coffee, movie rental, pool etc. The only negative my kids would say would be that there was no Wifi in the room. Internet connection is by using ethernet cable which is supplied.

almost a BIG problem
Hotel did not have my reservation, made as a package deal through the internet travel provider. Luckily they still had space available. According to their records they got it straightened out through the provider and got their payment from that transaction. Had they not had any space the vacation could have been ruined before it ever started. Makes me a little wary of booking total hotel/car/airfare packages in the future with that provider (meaning you). Thank you, Bryan Stevens

Sad to be leave paradise
Winter getaway
There's nothing really special to say about this hotel. It wasn't bad, but nothing spectacular either. The rooms are a nice size especially since we stayed a full week, with a full kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. Very outdated! Not that it really matters since you're in Hawaii and not much room is spent in the hotel anyways. Location is not bad, a couple blocks from the beach but also down the street from where many homeless people like to camp out. There's a pool, hot tub, eating area with many grills that you can use for $2, a little restaurant type thing on the pool deck, a party room near the elevators on the pool deck. The staff was friendly and there when we needed them. The lobby of the hotel is very nice, kind of tricks you into what the rooms will be like though. The pictures on the website of the rooms are identical to what you get, so at least there's no surprise. There's a cafe near the lobby with computers you can use and a litle convinience shop next to it. The only thing missing was a continental breakfast, really would have liked to have that instead of having to go out for breakfast everyday.

Our biggest issue was trying to find where to eat each night that wasn't going to completely crash the bank since we had 6 nights to think about. Look into the restaurants at the hotels and the little hole in the wall places, they are usually the best and a lot of them are hidden. DON'T GO TO THE RED LION!!! Most disgusting place I've ever seen. Went into the bathroom and almost walked out of the place right then and there, thank God we didn't get food, only drinks!

LOVELY HAWAIIAN HOTEL-GREAT BED. POOL, CLEAN
FROM THE BEAUTIFUL ENTRY, THROUGH THE OLD HAWAII PICTURES, THROUGH ANY ONE OF THE FOUR EXCELLENT ELEVATORS, TO THE UNIT'S GREAT VIEW AND COMFORT, THE VISITOR WILL EXPERIENCE TRUE HAWAIIAN HOSPITALITY. THE BANYAN FEELS LIKE YOUR HOME IN HONOLULU. THIS WAS OUR SIXTH STAY HERE. LOCATION IS PERFECT, STAFF IS HELPFUL. TWO SPAS, HUGE SALTWATER POOL, GOOD SANDWICHES AT THE COFFEE SHOP ON THE GROUND FLOOR, ALL PLEASANT.
