The property was not that bad, but no one told us that there was a repair on the balcony, so we couldn’t use it. Even more we couldn’t open the balcony properly. Because of the repair, in the room was a lot of dust. We 3 times changed our parking spot, because of construction outside the building. Despite those problems the room was good. A lot of stuff that you need for a vacation. Chairs, boards, umbrella, beach towels. In the kitchen we had everything that we need. Even zip bags. If we were there after repair and construction, we could give it more stars

This is the only place I will stay at when I visit O'ahu Hawaii. This condo has everything you need from being 2 blocks away from Waikiki beach, to a kitchen with all dishware, to all beach needs including chairs, umbrella, etc, it is a locked/secure building, and it has a Garage to park you car for free!!! It is impossible to find all your needs and wants in 1 place but Tropical Studios does it, and perfectly. Beautiful, clean perfect!!

Our unit had an old through the wall AC that couldn't really keep the place cool. Excellent location, wonderful little makeup / dressing area, functional kitchen and assigned parking (a HUGE plus). This unit needs maintenance (the tub was leaking and Hawaii is in a drought and the tub soap dish was filthy) but was comfortable for a short stay for two people. We would stay here again, but it is not fancy and dated.

It was located around shops and food if that’s what you enjoy, pretty loud night light but decent value, could use some in-depth cleaning, tub drained slow, mold on the shower curtain, caulking around tub needed redone, bed caves in the middle so you roll to the center in the middle of the night, pillows are flat.

There was plenty of towels, plenty of toiletries and other items to be used. Easy to check in, communication was good.

I stayed the week of labor day.

The location is perfect. You can walk to everything including the beach within 5 minutes you have everything you need close by.

The room needs some TLC and updates if you don't mind living in the era of The Golden girls you might like the room.

It is not recommended for more than two people and two people will climb over each other to get into bed because the bed is pushed up against the glass sliding door and dirty drapes.

If you are planning on sleeping you won't sleep well in that bed is absolutely horrible so pack some Motrin or sleep on the floor.

The local restaurant / bar behind has live music till 10:00 p.m. every night 7 days a week if you enjoy music you'll be fine if you don't this might not be the location for you cuz you will hear it till 10:00 p.m.. I decided I might as well join them lol .

The main lobby of the property and everything else is of a 60 year old building and smells Misty. carpets are dirty and the tenants in the building smoke a lot of weed so if you're allergic beware.

They don't give you clear instructions where the pool is but it's on the fourth floor covered in shade in the water is ice cold you're better off going to the beach.

I would only consider staying here again do the location for comfort I would not.

We've been to Waikiki several times. This time we choose a condo for our stay option. We loved the location, so close to everything. The condo offered us the option to have more than just a room. Beach chair and umbrella were a nice touch.
Great views from both balconies, view of the mountains and the views of the ocean. The suite was comfortable, laundry on the same floor which was great to have.
Definitely not a quiet area - but we didn't mind as this a normal for the area. Great space but could be updated. We would stay in the complex again - location, location, location.

The unit was well stocked, with all the necessities needed for a comfortable stay — kitchen, cooking, and cleaning supplies. They even provided boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrella, and coolers for your use. Communication with the host was excellent. All my questions were answered with a quick response. Even though the building and the unit were a little older, I was comfortable and it still met my needs and then some. The unit was very clean. I would come back again! Thanks for a pleasant stay!

Owner has BAD customer service

The place itself was ok. Not horrible and not fantastic. We rented two rooms and got one on the 6th floor and the other on the 18th floor. Would have been nice for them to be closer. One room opened with a key and the other with a code. That was a little confusing at first. I highly advise reading emails from owner thoroughly. I called to inquire about this and the owner Niko was EXTREMLY rude and belittling. He spoke to me like I was an idiot instead of being helpful and just answering my question. We locked ourselves out of our room once during the week and I was horrified that I had to call him again to have the room unlocked. Again, he was belittling on the phone. There is a security/maintenance person in building but they cannot help you with getting into your room. There was a dark stain in the tub and hair in the sink when we arrived. The dishes did not look clean and we had to rewash all the things we used. Plenty of towels. It's hard to tell if bedding was actually clean. There were some cool things in each room to use at the beach like chairs, boogie boards, a snorkel set, etc...that was convenient. Close to good stores and the beach. Relatively quiet. Washer and dryer on each floor for 3 dollars total a load. The actual bed was comfortable but the couch pull out bed was super uncomfortable. You feel the middle bar across your body. Overall, I would not recommend this rental. I tried not to let it ruin my trip to beautiful Hawaii.

First, the location was perfect for my family. 5 minute walk to beach. Close to shops and transportation. We used the kitchen to have breakfast, lunch and a few dinners. Easy in and out access unlike larger hotels. Free parking was a huge help for our rent a car. We enjoyed the balcony view of the city. The room had boogie boards, chairs and other things for the beach which was nice. This is my wife and I third time in Hawaii. First time with our three kids and we were here 18 nights. I’d highly recommend this hotel for all those reasons. Niko was extremely helpful and I’m thankful for everything he did to make our family vacation special.
