Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel, Honolulu

MY FAMILY AND I DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS HOTEL. ON THE CONTRARY IT WAS THE MOST AWESOME PLACE TO STAY. I WAS EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH THE PEOPLE AT THE FRONT DESK. THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE . THE ONLY DRAWBACK WAS THERE WAS NO RESTAURANT FOR BREAKFAST. BUT THAT WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH FAST FOOD ON EITHER SIDE OF US. WE NEVER WANT TO STAY ANY PLACE ELSE. THE VIEW IS BREATHTAKING AS WELL AS THE SERVICE. MY DAUGHTER AND HER FAMILY AND MYSELF AND MY FAMILY WILL BE RETURNING JUNE OF 2010.

the hotel was great. the room was great. the food was great. the pool was great .the service was great. i would stay here again.

We first started staying at the Circle years ago, when ocean view rooms were $30. a night, and as tourists stayed there for many years. Since then the hotel has been renovated, and of course the prices are higher. The room, and bath are small, hey who cares. The view is extraordinary. To sit on the lanai and watch the surfers, the sun go down, and have a drink and pupus is a wonderful experience. We have now lived here 20 years, and look forward to mainland company. We give them the condo, and check into the Circle for a few days.

My wife and I spend the first two nights of our anniversary trip at the Circle. We'll definitely stay again. What a fun little hotel! Here are just a few pros for staying here...51 steps to the beach (across the street), ABC store right next door, incredible view from the lanai (we loved watching the surfers at 6:00 a.m. as the sun was rising - while we were laying in bed) You can walk to almost any of the restaurants/shops within 10 minutes, Zoo is 5 minutes walk away, did I mention 51 steps to the beach from the lobby. Cons.....no bottle openers in the room, noise from the Burger king air conditioners next door. You really need to book a room with an ocean view or ocean front room, I'm sure the ones on the back side of the hotel are not good views of the huge hotels surrounding the much smaller circle.

Waikiki Circle has perfect location & great oceanfront view. Aging hotel, rooms are small but clean & well maintained. Friendly & helpful staff. Very limited parking on premises. All things considered including price, I would stay here again.

If you must park your meaty rear-end on Waikiki and appreciate no-frills value, this be the crib for you. So frill-less the place be, it's lobby "area" is not indoors. In lieu of four walls, it is enveloped by Waikikian ocean breeze. Smokin' location. Right across the street of the beach and the free evening Hula Hula shows. We would glance out our window to see if it was time for us to mosey on down for the entertainment. We had two Full sized beds. Sized barely large enough to conduct "business" and then velcro ourselves apart to sleep on seperate beds. A queen would have been nice. They'll charge you to park the rental in their toight leetle garage. I think it was about 9 bucks per day. Full in-n-out priveleges. Our "partial view" balcony meant parking our chairs at one end to enjoy the ocean view. To us, the better balcony room next door was not worth the extra bucks. Though, next time I will choose a room that isn't across the air conditioners on the rooftop next door. They are noisy and prevented us from leaving the sliding glass door open all night. They provide beach towels and info with a smile. Closet sports a small safe. The small TV emits cable viewing. No swimmy pool. Leave the shower curtain agape and shower as you sits on the potty. -UltraVic

My kids(11+14) and I stayed here in November 2006. Check-in was effortless and the beds were very comfortable. The rooms are not large but very adequate. The view was exactly what I had hoped for and the location, accross the street from the beach was perfect. There were lots of shopping options and restaurants near by. We felt very safe and the hotel was quiet all the time. Tour coordinator right on site. I booked here because the place I usually stay was booked up. Next time I visit I will try this place first.

Stayed at this hotel in 2005. Wonderful staff and the rooms are nice and clean. Very simple hotel. Great location. Hopefully staying there again in 2007

Excellent location, good pricing (why spend a lot on hotels when you are not going to be there very much), clean; upper floors have wonderful ocean front view. Front desk was very helpful.

Great location. Just cross the street and the beach is there. May stores and restaurants at walking distance. You can get clean beach towels every time you go to the beach. The room was a bit small but confortable. There was not microwave and if you need ice , you have to go the the main desk and aks for it.
