It an interesting stay the first room I got was perfect but my booking got messed up so we where placed in a last minute room which wasn’t good or safe at all the room my husband and newborn daughter where placed in had broken glass and wasn’t cleaned and wasn’t maintained at all. The second room they placed us in after geting a change was better. The manager was very helpful. I felt bad complaining but I wasn’t going to allow my daughter to get hurt in the room. My mom’s room was absolutely amazing clean beautiful decorated and felt homie. Our was a place to sleep at that point so we would sleep then go to our moms room to cook and hang out. Overall it wasn’t an awful experience as we got to be in Hawaii just disappointed in how much I spent cause it wasn’t worth what we got due to room conditions. My biggest complaint was House keeping didn’t come clean our room I contacted the manager and I had to go get my own stuff and take the dirty ones up to there storage room. Otherwise it wasn’t that bad

Workers and personnel nice and helpful
Locatio. Unbelievable
A great place one it is not longer rundown.

The room was filthy upon arrival and was very dirty with stuff. Before that I was lied to when I was checking in regarding a cleaning fee. Nothing was mentioned about that when I booked the room. I was also lied to about checking in when the hotel room was not available that I reserved for and paid in full when I booked the hotel room. The hotel employee said that I needed to speak with the third party to confirm my booking. It took over 4 hours for me to get a confirmation from them to be able to get access to my room.

Filthy room, bed against a wall, 3 box spring mattress high, 2ft square pillar on the other side and old futon at the bottom making it extremely difficult to get into. Looked nothing like the pictures, deteriorated and broken tub fixture making difficult to use shower, no globe on ceiling fan. Didn’t look like floors had been cleaned in several months or more. Room owned by offsite person never responded to complaint. Mini fridge in poor repair, no freezer door and 2inch ice build up. Nothing like pictures and description of room. Horrible, disgusting & filthy!! Pictures & video available. False advertising

They are a private owned condos not an actual hotel. The room did not have black out curtains and faced the side that had so many lights it looked like it was day time the whole night. There was major construction that was not disclosed when you booked. The shower had poor pressure and the tv cable set up would go in and out while watching something. The staff didn’t offer any advice like where the ice machine or pool was I guess because it’s all private condos.

This is a friendly hotel. The staff was very congenial and the guests I met in the elevator were equally nice. The room I was in was a bit tired looking, but the decor was funky in a good way. It's a great location.

bad experience. Room door lock did not open. Since it is monitored remotely, I had to call many times to get solution and the end we got moved to another room after an hour being on the phone and trying to get someone to help. Second day, they shut the water service, when I complained I was told that there was a warning by front desk when I know I was not a hotel guest. Did anyone call me to give me a warning? NO. I could not shower or use kitchen. Room was outdated, several vertical curtains pieces were missing so we have no privacy in room and glass table had fingerprints marks all over. I was charged $83.10 for taxes, which I was not warned before I booked. Now when I see the breakdown it is mostly for TCL charges, basically if you do not pay you do not enter into the room. Not happy with this charge mentioning the conditions of the room.

When we arrived, there was rainwater leaking into the room through the window, with several towels placed underneath to catch it. It was clear the towels had not been changed recently because they were completely soaked through, and water was already puddling around the area. We also found clothing left behind by previous occupants in the dresser, including pants, underwear, and socks. On top of that, the shower head did not work, so we were unable to take a proper shower and could only bathe.

When I contacted the manager, I was told we had been given a complimentary upgrade for a better view, and that the leak was due to the property being unable to find a contractor to replace the building’s windows. However, despite the “upgrade,” no one was able to come clean up the water or replace the wet towels until the following morning. The same was true for the clothing left in the dresser, as housekeeping was also unavailable until the next day.

When housekeeping arrived around 8:00 a.m., they simply removed the clothing and did not offer to do a more thorough cleaning. They also cleaned up the wet towels and replaced them with dry ones. As for the shower, it could not be fixed, and instead of moving us to another room, we were only given access to a different room one floor above, apparently the one housekeeping was using, so we could shower there.

Overall, the situation was extremely inconvenient and not what was expected.

It was a basic room with amenities in a good location and competitive prices. Ron was helpful in giving us a half day rate since our flight was in the evening.

Now for the bad, upon checking in we were told there is a cleaning fee (not included in the total price) of over 3 figures for one night. I've booked many hotels on here and never once was I charged a separate cleaning fee., let alone be held ransom at check in. No email no notice until check in (which was at midnight for us). They claim they have an agreement with hotel.com and other 3rd party vendors. If this is try shame on all of you, being deceptive and not mentioning it anywhere until check in. (Note: this was the Castle of Waikiki Grand, not the Waikiki Grand hotel.) Because of this ridiculousness I will not recommend Castle ever and because hotel.com even allows for this, I will no longer be using them.

Door had to be shut hard in order for it to lock. Air conditioner stopped working right. Our air conditioner started acting up the second week of our stay and still was not replaced.Was given 3 small bath mats to soak up water which flooded a good portion of the room… the water flooded under the bed. Maintenance stated that our air conditioner needed to be replaced and called ours dead. It never was replaced… the tubing to pull air in fell out of the side of the building… they need to advertise self service such as throwing out own trash, getting sheets changed not daily nor towels

Make sure the price expedia quotes you includes the cleaning fee. Expedia claims the price you pay online includes all fees. This was not the case with us and we were unexpectedly told that we had to pay a $159 cleaning fee upon arrival to our room.

The room itself was old and had a lot of issues, - the mini fridge, the tv, the wifi did not work. I got help getting the wifi but it is clearly a very old hotel. I was told the entire building had some new tv issue where it would only work with a new Smart Tv, but I am not really sure that is true.
The bed was very comfortable and the room was air conditioned.

The view from the shared sundeck was amazing and the staff was great and that was about the only great thing about this place.we did not have tv or internet for a week like they say they provide. They do not service your room so switch out towles bed sheets ect. You can get new bed sheets every 4 days if you go and get them as well as towels they charge a 200 cleaning feee. Dishes were dirty so we did not use the dishes. Parking is not a guarantee and expensive the room is nothing like the pictures they post. The bed was hard as a rock and squeeked every time you move. The ac was in one \"room\" and if you had the curtains closeed the rest of the room did not get cold

Not value for money

The location was convenient and the staff were welcoming. The room, however, was not very clean and there were no services provided. Too much noise from outside while the property charged hidden fees as well, and different fees than what was communicated at the booking stage. A form of deceit there. The checking out time was changed without notice and were asked to leave earlier too. Not the best experience but the room offers independence which was appreciated.

The plus it was close to Waikiki Beach: 5 minute walk. The cons- no service to the room- no cleaning. Could only change our bath and beach towels every two days. The room has a ‘balcony window’ but sealed shut. Also extremely thin as if they were open and could hear every car, truck, and motorcycle drive by. I booked the room because it has a kitchenette, however every thing in the kitchen is old and a plug in heat burner for the stove. I chose to eat out instead use the dirty, outdated kitchen. The only thing that worked well was the air conditioning and the shower. The bed had an old mattress and older bedding. The entire room looked like a 50 year old version of the photo online and was disappointing.

Roach infested

Upon arrival, it was fine. We checked into the room first they try to give us a room that was hot. The AC was not working. She offered us another room where it was cold. We settled in. We go downstairs to grab something to eat. We go back upstairs and there is roaches here and there we kill them and go on about our night. We settle and put some belongings away. We go down to the beach. We’re gone for a few hours upon a return when we enter the room. The room is infested with roaches not one or two like the first time rather 10 or 20 we’re trying to kill them all but there’s just so many they’re everywhere the food that we bought are belongings on the bed on the floors and the wall. We call Castle to inform them of the roach infestation in the room. The representative told me that he would have somebody contact me. After waiting for about 20 minutes, nobody ever called. To the front desk at Waikiki grand Hotel. and informed them of what was going on. They switched us rooms, but the room they gave us was an extra room for the cleaning service. They had their at the hotel so before we could get settled in, they had to move out all the buggies and cleaning supplies so that we could sleep there. The room was clean, however very outdated with dirty carpet not to mention the reason why I booked this room.( the first room) was because it had a full kitchen. The room that they switched us to did not have a full kitchen nor a full refrigerator it did come with the hot plate.

CASTLE at waikiki grand

Location is great. Right across from the zoo. However, there were issues from the start.
1. If you want a parking space, you'll need to reserve it on a different website from the hotel.
https://www.wghparking.com. Make sure you book it well before your trip. I didn't know this and had to find street parking the first night.
2. If you're booking a CASTLE rsvn, you'll check in at the Waikiki Grand's front desk first. Then you'll be directed to rm 503 to finish the check in. This was a first for me. There the Castle employees will give you your rm # and key code.
3. Pictures on Hotels.com were NOT accurate, at all! City view w/ kitchenette? Umm ok. But where was the couch? Luckily, there was a CAMPING COT hidden by the bathroom or else my son would've had to sleep on the floor.
4. Speaking of the floor. Still had sand on the floor when we arrive. Dirty.
5. If you need the room dark in order to sleep, forget it. The \"curtains\" were nothing more than sewing material with Hawaiian print on it. All the lights from the walkway illuminated the room at night. It was so bright, I had to cover my face with the blanket just to sleep.
6. The corner of the bed is very close to the kitchen cabinet. Maybe a16 inch clearance? I ended up whacking my shin on the wooden bed frame and ended up with a bleeding cut due to it.
7. Make sure you rotate the TV back against the kitchen wall before you go to bed. Or at least remember to duck.
You get what you pay for. Beware

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Castle! The room came equipped with a view of the ocean, Diamond Head, and the Honolulu Zoo. We were walking distance from the ABC store and Waikiki beach and about 1/2 a mile from the International Marketplace for some light shopping and an array of restaurants facing the beach. The AC was amazing and came in clutch especially at night. The kitchenette was well equipped for cooking, and the room came with snorkel gear, beach chairs, and a beach umbrella. I feel like it was well worth staying here and would definitely recommend this to anyone I know.

I reserved an \"ocean view\" room...the Ocean view was from the lanai looking around the wall, or through a mirror on the opposite wall--more than a bit misleading. I was a late arrival, but the check-in for this property evidently closed at 11:00 P.M. We were able to get in by checking in with the neighboring property, but they weren't sure which parking spot I'd be assigned. Since everything was electronic, all of the relevant info could have been sent beforehand.

The room wasn't the cleanest the bedspread was gross not sure if that was even washed recently and since you only get clean towels every other day you have to use the same washcloth for two days. We even looked at moving to another hotel in the area for our stay. The room was not even close to what is being depicted online.

This is the worst hotel i can remember staying in in the past 30 years. The rooms did not match the pictures on the webpages.

Building is run down. The castle grand is an older section of the Waikiki Grand that is condo owned.. Our choice said it was 400sq ft and showed ok room pics. Trouble is nothing on the web site matched the actual room itself.. It was around 260 sqft, very tiny bath with an almost non existent sink.. Had a double bed wedged between a column in the middle of the room and a wall.. Only way in was to climb over the end of the bed.. And the bed was like sleeping in a folding taco shell. No drapes only broken window shades that allowed the night light in the room making it hard to sleep.. 1001, do not take this room....

The location is very convenient and close to Waikiki beach and many food options shopping. Staff was very kind. Room seemed very clean, ac worked great. The view was very beautiful, and the patio was a nice plus. We were able to get free parking a couple of blocks down, which the staff recommended. If you don’t mind walking I think it’s a great option! Be aware that there is a nightclub below so if you are sensitive to noise that may be something to note, but it didn’t bother me! One thing I do wish was that maybe an email could have been sent out before hand to explain the check in process a bit more because it was a little confusing at first with the desk being located on the fifth floor, but again nothing to really complain about! I was even able to get early check in which was great! Had a lovely time! I think it is a reasonable option for the price!
