Our first time at Waikiki Wave after scouring the internet and comparing hotels, really happy with our choice. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful making us feel really welcome at all times. Great location and handy to buses shops and restaurants, very clean and comfortable rooms even though a bit noisy late at night but to be expected in such... More

I just returned from my 8 day/7 night trip to Hawaii. After careful consideration we selected the Aqua Wave because of cost, location, and reviews. I will say that this hotel totally exceeded my expectations. This isn't the Ritz Carlton. If you have checked the prices you should know this isn't a fancy hotel with some of the amenities that...

I checked into the Waikiki Wave Hotel and was greeted by a really nice lady at the front desk. In fact every employee at the hotel was nice and very helpful. The room exceeded my expectations and I was really happy with everything about it. I have traveled for many years with all the name brand hotels and the Waikiki... More

This is a 3 star hotel but you would never tell, everything was brilliant! rooms were very clean and all the facilities we needed they had. The location is the best part of this hotel. The beach is a 5 minute walk. Lots of dining places are a short walk away. You have International market parallel to this hotel where... More

I recently stayed at this hotel in Waikiki. The room was a good size, very clean and comfortable. It had a microwave and tea and coffee making facilities. The staff were very helpful and freindly on arrival and during my stay. Reasonably priced. I would stay there again and recommend it to others. Very conveniently located a block back from... More

We booked this hotel online after reading a few reviews. The price was great and photos looked okay but we weren't sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff are great.

As stated above, those nine steps up to the check in were daunting with heavy bags! Nobody seemed to be on hand to help, so I had to leave the bag on the street to find help. I was 3 hours early for check in, and the check in person was not about to let me check in early until... More

Stayed here for seven nights. The location is great! Close to the beach and shopping. The staff were helpful as was the concierge. Downside? It was super noisy! We stayed on the 6th floor and were right next to a parking garage. I would give the room a 3/5 for cleanliness as the bedding and towels were fresh of course..... More

This was the second time I stayed at the Wave. The high quality of service that I received from the beginning to the end of my trip, and the clean and well-maintained facility are just some of the reasons why I keep returning. The location of this hotel is only 10 minutes walk away from the beach and 2 minutes... More

We stayed at the Aqua Wave based on a recommendation of friends who had visited two months earlier. It is very convenient to the beach and next door to the International Market. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Aside from the noise at night (must be some serious partying going on), it was a great location and I'd go... More
