Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel, Honolulu

This hotel is located at the end of waikiki beach near diamond head. Has a great beach location. Fun retro decor. Very casual breakfast for tourist on the run.

The Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel was a great place to stay. We stayed there for three nights and we wish we could of stayed longer. It has a very great location. It is right across the street from the World famous Waikiki Beach. It is also in walking distance to many places to eat and shop. This hotel is great for everyone. Everyone who comes here will LOVE it. The lobby and check-in area has no doors. It is all open (because there are no bugs). That was very neat. There are resturants downstairs and some stores such as Wolfgang Puck, Cold Stone Creamy, and ABC Stores. ABC Stores is a store that is partically on every street corner. It is a great store to buy things you forgot to pack or some great souviners for the whole family. Everything there is very low in price. There is a Hilo Hatties and a very big mall for some shopping nearby. In the mall is lots of famous stores such as Macy's and many more. If you do stay here ask for the main tower. You receive a free breakfest every morning. The breakfest is SO DELICIOUS. We could not get enough of it. They have cereal, rice, bagels, a special of the day, mini muffins, fresh fruit, fresh hopia (a coconut desert, it was VERY good), a variety of juices, milk, coffee and much more. You also can ask for a view of Diamond Head and the Famous Waikiki Beach. There is much more to know about this hotel so check it out. We enjoyed our trip and we hope you stay here and enjoy your trip too.

The Aston has a terrific location - waterfront on Waikiki Beach. However, the accomodations were not worth the daily rate they charge. Our room was dirty, the bed was very uncomfortable, and the service was poor. We stayed in an adjacent tower to the main hotel, and the main hotel might be a little newer and nicer. A few vignettes: - We had to wait almost an hour to get our car from the valet. Valet parking, of course, is the only option here. - The tower we stayed in was filthy. The elevator smelled of body odor, the halls had stained and years-old carpeting, and the place was just generally dirty.

Breakfast is great! service a plus and the location is excellent! Nightlife is perfect, walking distance from main attractions. This is a great place to stay!!!

I loved the Hawaiian theme, and also the free Breakfast by the beach. Great for singles or familys

We had booked 2 rooms, non-smoking, king-size beds. On arrival in late afternoon, our rooms were not ready - ok, not a big deal. When we got to the rooms, they were both on different floors. Neither room had king sized beds (2 full beds instead), and one of the rooms had a strong odor of smoke - the entire floor happened to be smoking. My pregnant wife was the least impressed. The tap/faucet in the tub was also stripped and didn't work well - amazing how house-keeping could have missed this one. Parking also cost us $30/day for valet not including gratuity because there is no other place to park. The front desk offered to put us into different rooms next to each other and in non-smoking areas (which is what we had originally requested), however, they said that it would be an additional $100 upgrade!!! They said that even though we had requested king size beds, that there was no guarantee that we would get them upon arrival. So make sure you get what you ask for! Also, they have a great program called breakfast-by-the-beach, however only certain rooms qualify for this. If you want it - make sure you qualify for it! On a good note - the rooms were fairly clean, staff seemed friendly and willing to help, location, location, location. Location was excellent - right across from the beach, a sheltered swimming area for kids, great restaurants and sites and sounds nearby. Unfortunately, we just had a bad experience - we hope yours is better.

Right after getting off that long flight , we get to the Ashton Coral Reef and find out that they moved us to Ashton Waikiki so we had to pile back into a cab for a short ride..then get into the Ashton Waikiki and they put us in the old part of the hotel which looked like motel 6 on a bad day.Which wouldn't have been such a big deal but "we" were six women ages 23-45. After arguing with them they put us into the main hotel which was beautiful and also came with an additional price. All in all the hotel looked great, always clean,the people were friendly but next time I will choose a different hotel!

If you are looking for an exciting place within walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants, this is the place! We love to get our day started early and mingle with the locals. Aston Waikiki Beach's "breakfast on the beach" was the perfect and convenient start to the day. With a quick walk across the street to beautiful Waikiki Beach, what could be better? The hotel's restaurant, Tiki's Bar and Grill, was our favorite restaurant on Oahu! The pool was lively and lovely. Kids love the place. It is not a stuffy, isolated resort. It is clean and fun but not fancy. The views are beautiful. The service was excellent. The gift shop is the most convenient one we have ever seen. Buy your kids' floats and have them inflated there in the store. Great prices for snacks and souvenirs. With Wolfgang Puck's, Denny's, Coldstone Creamery and Starbucks nearby, this is a great place for a quick bite after a day of sightseeing. The hotel is within walking distance of the zoo, is right across the street from Waikiki Beach, and is close to shopping and restaurants. Everything else on Oahu is a short drive away. The valet parking was excellent and the tour services desks were convenient. Our one and only concern was that the elevators are quite slow. If you are fun-loving people who don't want to waste money on an isolated resort in the middle of nowhere, the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel is the place for you!

The pricing was great, and the location was great. You can just get your bathing suit on and in 5 minutes your on the beach soaking up the sun. The hotel gives you lunch boxes when you check in which you can fill up with their free breakfast food, and take it with you for a picnic on the beach. They supply you with beach towels, chairs, and a great staff. We were planning on staying for just 4 days, but since we had such a great experience, we stayed a whole week! They also have computers so that if you need to check your email, you can go ahead and do so.

With a fabulous view of Waikiki Beach and incomparable convenience to everything from shopping, great food, all sorts of fun activities, this is THE place to be in Waikiki. Want to go snorkelling? The world famous Hanauma Bay was only 25-30 minutes away. We could literally walk to great food places in minutes (not to mention Wolfgang Puck Express right on the hotel premises). But the Breakfast-on-the-Beach every morning was the ultimate clincher!! All in all, a terrific experience.
