Good experience. Would stay here again

They don't have a pool but it's about two blocks away from Waikiki beach and it rests by the canal so it's not as sunny which is nice. Overall it's a modest hotel that seems more like an apartment complex. The building is not new but very clean and the staff are friendly. There was no amenities besides free internet in the lobby. They have a laundromat. I lived in hawaii before so it was good for me to have a place to rest. The great thing about it is that it's location is near all the Waikiki attractions but is on the quiet side of the street. The rooms are clean no bed bugs. When we were walking around Waikiki we saw a lot of people with bites on their legs and we knew we were lucky.

Dining tip: Short drive from hotel

If you want great cheap food take a bus downtown to chinatown where you can get the best vietnamese food I've ever had. Vietnam Cafe Pho Saigon on 52 N Hotel Street honolulu, HI 96817. It was the best restaurant that we went to for vietnamese food and I've had a lot in New York. All the restuarants in waikiki are terrible and expensive.

Excellent location with a bargain price

It was nice bargain for the location, right in the heart of Waikiki, with tons of restaurants and shops just outside the door. But it lacks parking and costs $20 to park next door. Overall, it is still a bargain.

Excellent and Affordable Vacation

We stayed at Aqua Waikiki Pearl for 7 nights, 8 days. It was clean, affordable pricing, and excellent concierge service. Pricilla was especially helpful at the concierge desk. Great Job!! The outside of the hotel needs some remodeling however the inside was steller. Great Housekeeping everyday our beds were made and trash taken out. We stayed on the 10th floor so we didn't hear much of traffic, etc. We had a nice view of the city and a partial view of the ocean. I definitely would recommend this hotel as it was inexpensive for us and we enjoyed our stay in Waikiki.

Exceptional Experience!

I thank the [...] staff for the recommendation of this Hotel (It was the the Aqua Wakikki Pearl location). The staff was very friendly, and made me feel more like family than their guest. The room was clean,large and roomy (I was actually given a double arrangement) much to my delight and surprise. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I had a fantastic time and I recommend this hotel to any traveler looking for an affordably priced hotel. [...]

Money-saving tip: Short walk from hotel

This location is a short walk from all the major shopping, dining, and beach destinations. There are dining locations (familiar and unfamiliar) all along the Kuhio Avenue stretch: just a 2 minute walk from the Hotel. It is another 5-7 minute walk from the ritzy shopping and dining areas.

Great Stay

My family likes to travel a lot and try out different hotels in the area. This hotel shows that it is newly upgraded.. I like the fact that the elevators is also upgraded to a modern.. mechanic?? coz the other others we've been too takes forever and Waikiki Pearls elevator is quite quick. I love the bathroom vanity sink kind of too high though. My husband, daughter and I got lucky because we booked an studio type room and our room got upgraded for free to a one bedroom with separate living room. I like the location coz it's not too far away from everything but a few hundred feet away from the noisy Kuhio Ave. Their bed feels okay and it's not too firm it's just that I got used to pillow top mattress so comfortable sleeping was kind of a struggle for me to get. Definitely, we'll stay there again.

Nice clean hotel - free internet

Nice clean hotel - free internet - close to the shops and beach. Good eating places nearby - opposite the International Market Place. Slightly noisy at night but nothing too bad. Stayed for 6 nights in Sept 10 from Australia.
