It's a basic hotel but clean and comfortable, staff is very pleasant, and the location, a block from Waikiki Beach, is great. It's a wonderful value for budget travelers. The window airconditioners are incredibly noisy however. Even in June we found we could sleep comfortably without the air. Our room faced Uluniu Street and the motorcycles were very loud. Westill recommend it!

Wonderful Budget Oasis Hotel in Waiki

Wonderful cheap pristine clean place. 30 seconds from the beach. It is worth your while to be nice to the staff so you can get a room there next year...ya, staff are quirky (sometimes in a bit of a daze)...but you are saving lots of money (rooms are $55 - 75 per night). We are going back. Think Miami Vice series (original series not movie) and ...

Great Place For Clean Basics
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/11/08
Royal Grove may be one star in the "class" category but really it's in a class all by itself, explaining the near-five star reviews. The RG is a top-of-the-line 1960s hotel that has been maintained like a museum. A little rust on some of the fittings, a little peeling on the wood paneling, but everything is very very neat and very ...
My best friend of 33 years and I went to celebrate our 50th birthday. At first glance we were a little leary but 5 minutes after unpacking we were so glad we decided to stay. An at home feeling about the place put us at ease. We didnt feel like we were half way around the world...we felt safe and secure and like we were on vacation from all ...

My son and I stayed at the Royal Grove in 2005, we already have our reservations for our next trip! The Grove is very dated, but we found it to be clean and the staff to be extremely helpful and respectful. We always had plenty of hot water with good pressure (which I hear can be a problem with budget hotels sometimes). The use of a safety ...
