The only good thing about this place is the location.

The complaints about elevators are true (LONG waits, small elevator, doors extremely quick to close).

The complaints about the rooms are also 100% believable as well.

I have 10+ years of working in facility maintenance, so I’ll be able to provide some detailed insight here:

Plainly put, I have a hard time believing there are any sort of maintenance standards here.

The air conditioner drains/leaks onto the floors and into the walls. The wall underneath the unit was severely water damaged, the walls surrounding the AC unit were severely water damaged, and the carpet had begun to furl up because of water damage to the floor. In my field, we call this a safety hazard. I’ve never seen water damage like this without mold accompanying it.

The carpets themselves were worn out, stained, and dirty.

The furniture was whicker patio furniture. Brittle, crumbling, and paint chipping off. There were paint chips from the furniture on the floor, so I know the room wasn’t vacuumed before we arrived.

There were stains on the counter that wiped off with my finger, so I know those weren’t cleaned before we arrived.

The toilet seal had dry rot and was cracked. Rust stains coming from the base of the toilet indicating a leaky toilet.

The floor trim was dented and chipped, various chips and damage to the walls.

The TV is a 20” plasma screen on a side wall in the kitchen.

Maintenance and poor quality concerns aside, this was the THIRD room we were shown. Two of the rooms we were shown had these types of maintenance/cleanliness/health concerns, and only the final room had two beds (we were told we booked a reservation for two beds).

They sent us from tower to tower, from the top floor to the bottom, looking for a room with two beds.

After this entire fiasco, the only rectification we were offered was a full refund and reservation cancellation.

Thankfully, we were able to book another room in a different hotel so we could take them up on this offer.

Do not consider this hotel as an option unless you’re paying motel 6 prices.

We enjoyed our stay overall, because it’s Hawaii so how can you not, however the room was not as advertised and was very dirty. The carpets were old and very dirty/stained, the bathroom floor and walls were disgusting and there was very limited kitchen supplies. All I could see when laying in bed was the stains all over the ceiling. The kitchen sink wouldn’t drain, there was food stuck inside the oven. We did not have a pan big enough to use for anything. The couch was ripped and stained. The bar stools were all so dirty you can’t sit on them. I didn’t see any bugs during our stay but we did end up with numerous bites -Unsure what from. The pool staff were very rude and condescending. They would yell at you to sign in. The fire alarm went off during our stay and everyone was evacuated. The elevators were another story. We would wait forever to get up or down and always had to squish in with too many other people. Ended up having to take the stairs almost every day. Often there was a line up for the elevator. The front desk staff were nice. The pool area and location were nice. For the price we paid this hotel did not meet expectations and I would recommend staying elsewhere as this place is a bit of a dump. I wish I had done more research before our stay.

We recently stayed at the Waikiki Banyan, and overall, the experience was very disappointing. The hallways, elevators, and common areas were outdated and had a dingy, neglected feel that didn’t create a welcoming atmosphere.

We booked one room through VRBO, and while the room itself was clean and decent, the air conditioning unit leaked all over the balcony, rendering it unusable. The second room, booked directly through the Aston website, was in terrible condition — extremely outdated, damaged, and noticeably dirty. The rooms managed by Aston look nothing like the pictures on their web site.

While one staff member we encountered was polite and tried to be helpful, they weren’t able to resolve our issues, Unfortunately, the other staff member one duty  was rude and dismissive, adding to our frustration.

We left feeling misled and disappointed. Given the poor condition of the property and the unprofessional attitude of most of staff, I wouldn’t recommend staying at this hotel unless significant improvements are made.

We loved our stay!! It was amazing!!

We arrived at 10am, but check-in was at 3pm. They stored our luggage, and offered us an area to change before we set off to explore Waikiki unencumbered by our carry-ons and backpacks. The lady at the front desk was personable and friendly, smiling and taking care of our check in. When our room was ready for check in, the man also working at the front desk, escorted us to our room with our luggage, engaging us with the details of the hotel, amenities, and helpful tips.

Our room was clean. I know because I always clean when we check in; I do a mattress check, I clean surfaces, and check the carpet. I even like to leave dark spaces dark to check near water sources for bugs with my flashlight (a little more difficult at a day time check in, but usually bathrooms are darker). It not only looked clean, but it was clean! We had our own lanai, the room was spacious, and we had tons of windows, so lots of natural light and fresh air.
Side note: I’ve read negative reviews about the rooms, and I’m glad I did not heed them. Yes, some items were out of date, but for the staff and price and location and view and cleanliness-it wasn’t that big of an issue.
During the week the housekeeping staff checked in on us and she was wonderful and friendly too.

The pool and hot tubs (two!) and play structure were perfect. We didn’t spend as much time enjoying them as we could’ve because the beach was so close, but you can enjoy the sunset from the recreation deck.
There is a washer and dryer on each floor. They are coin operated and also link to an app to pay electronically. I was able to get a free wash with the app.
There’s also a Little Free Library on the lobby floor near the restrooms. I ended up leaving the rest of our unused laundry detergent and the beach umbrella that I bought. A couple hours later those items were gone, and I was happy someone else could use them!
The lobby is beautiful. There’s also a little cafe with great coffee on the lobby floor.
Every morning we enjoyed the sunrise from our lanai, made breakfast with coffee from our kitchen, and made our way out for the day.

Overall, we felt very blessed to stay here. The staff members we encountered made our first impression amazing, and the cleanliness, amenities, and location confirmed it. We enjoyed our week.

The elevators take forever to come, and are often always full. We normally spend up to 20 minutes waiting to finally get an elevator, and sometimes we go the opposite direction just to get a space on one. There is a pool, but besides sitting in it you’re not allowed to do anything else in it. They make you go up to the 5th floor of a tower to get and drop
Off beach towels, which often means losing 30 minutes of vacation. Besides the location this has been a subpar hotel at best. I definitely would not recommend this place for vacation, there are a lot better options.
