A bit conflicted writing this review, but I'll start with this. Hawaii is not what it's cracked up to be, at all. It's dirty underdeveloped, unreasonably expensive etc. Honolulu & Oahu overall are a tad better than the rest, but with that come hotel prices are totally unjustified. This hotel however cost me less for 4 nights than 1 night at more expensive ones that are very close to it. So if I'm going to a disappointing destination, I'd rather pay this price. The place has good newer bathroom vanity and kitchenette countertop. Has clean towels, shower& provides nice toiletries. Newer clean carpet. The bed had clean linens but the mattress & pillows underneath smelled like marijuana and ungroomed sweaty pets. This was a non- starter for me despite the other positives. Other negatives: 1) very noisy exhaust in the bathroom even when AC isn't on; 2) AC leaks after an hour of continuous work.; 3) food truck right outside regularly burned food & you could smell it right in the room, very strong & unpleasant smell; 4) seems like every day is trash day in this neighborhood; that's good, except you smell it even through closed doors and windows in the room. A little dirty outside the hotel, & and better on next street over but don't let that cleanliness mislead you. Waikiki supermarket within 5 min walk has good poke that you can buy by the weight.

The outside and neighborhood definitely look less attractive than the pictures. The parking options are really poor. But the staff are really nice. The rooms were definitely clean and will kept. The AC worked very well which was very important! And our favorite part was their community lost and found including sunscreen! They had snorkel equipment and beach chairs that we used that we appreciated greatly! It's mostly just the appearance of the outside and the very basic accommodations that make this less than ideal.

Very nice property! Parking spots are tight. The parking spots will fit an F150 but I do not recommend, the alley entrance is very narrow. The room was clean, cozy and the A/C worked well. Staff is very friendly and helpful, they have loads of beach gear to borrow. I would definitely stay here again.

Waikiki Central Hotel rescued us on two occasions when our travel plans changed at the start and finish of our planned visit to Waikiki. Our pre-booked AirBnB could not extend our stay but WCH, just around the corner from our AirBnB, took us on both nights and resident manager, Reece, arranged parking for us late at night outside office hours. The property is tired but reasonably maintained and very clean. Good value for money.
