Price was great but that is about it. The lifts were quite fast and no long waits but that is where it ends. The pictures on the website made the rooms look great but very old. My bed and pillows were extremely hard, the air con was so loud I couldn't sleep with it on and couldn't leave balcony door open due to the constant noise outside. I found roaches in my room and took one down to reception, the lady apologied but that does get rid of them. My tissue box was full of bugs and they kept coming out from the bathroom sink. The garbage disposal in the kitchen sink stopped working and the smell was terrible. There was not a plug for the kitchen sink!! I had to heat up a cup of water in the microwave to have a cup of tea. The rooms really need updating they are very old. On the plus side the shower was great, after stepping into a big bath, which filled with water while showering. Very disappointing. Will not be staying again.
Overall, not the best place to stay. VERY convenient location. Everything is within a 15 minute walking distance. Store located on the 6th floor and breakfast spot downstairs in lobby area. This is what the 3 stars are for. The lack of 5 stars comes from the room. The rooms were dated and almost EVERYTHING had a stain on it. The shower pressure was not good at all. Made a reservation for a king bed for my husband & I but got a room with two queens. When we asked to switch there was nothing available. I will stay somewhere else if I come back to Honolulu :)
Aqua Skyline at Island Colony is a well-situated hotel in the heart of Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii, offering a blend of comfort and convenience with a tropical ambiance. The hotel is housed in a 44-story high-rise building, making it one of the tallest in Waikiki. Its central location means guests are just a short walk away from the famous Waikiki Beach, shopping centers, dining options, and nightlife, making it an excellent choice for both leisure and business travelers.
The hotel offers a variety of accommodations, from studios to one-bedroom suites, many of which come with private lanais (balconies) offering stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, Diamond Head, or the cityscape. Rooms are modern and equipped with kitchenettes, which include a mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, adding convenience for longer stays. The interior design is contemporary, with a soothing color palette that enhances the relaxing Hawaiian vibe.
Aqua Skyline at Island Colony features an outdoor pool and sundeck, a perfect spot for unwinding under the Hawaiian sun. There’s also a fitness center and a sauna for guests looking to maintain their wellness routines. Additionally, the hotel provides a communal BBQ area, a convenience store, and a laundry facility.
One of the key highlights is the warm and helpful staff, who are known for their hospitality, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. While the building shows some signs of aging, the overall experience is enhanced by the hotel's amenities and prime location, making it a popular choice for visitors to Waikiki.
Very nice hotel. Was on the top floor. A few mishaps but nothing too big that I wouldn't recommend or stay again. Pool area was fun except you have to use a key to get out of the pool you used a key to get into. you can see the fireworks as well depending on the side you are on. ||Overall it was a nice place to just comeback and crash. The AC worked great.
DISGUSTING!!!|We left after 10 min. |The rooms are not like in the pictures and it was dirty I was about to start vomiting. |I have to say the staff the were great, they understood that I wanted to find a different place to stay, I appreciate that. |But please do not waste your money or your time coming here, I’ve never seen a place as nasty as this.
One of the better places to stay conveniently located in central Waikiki. Walking distances to shopping, dinning, and beaches. Rooms are nice and come with kitchens where cooking your own meals are an option. There is a balcony that has a view. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. There’s a pool, recreation center, sauna, gas barbecue area, and laundry area.
Be very prepared for cockroaches here. I know due to the weather, you will encounter cockroaches in Hawaii, but this hotel had perhaps the worst infestation I had ever seen. We counted over 50 cockroaches during our stay. Every time you turned the bathroom light on, you can see 4-5 of them in all sizes scurrying away. Some of them are bold and just sit around in the sink. We contacted the hotel and they sent someone to come up and look and concluded nothing could be done. Room was also very poor quality with very dirty carpet and poor bathroom.
Night 1:
1. Bugs, small roaches in our room
2. Holes in the curtains
3. Lanai door doesn’t open (that’s not scary at all)
4. Confusing elevator systems, so many elevators but also so many signs that they go to different things I.e. pool, parking, etc.
5. (my biggest problem) is the in room coffee maker doesn’t work. I need my coffee!!
6. Oh yeah, no valet or free parking here. Between $25-$35 daily for parking.
7. Smelled cigarette smoke all night long
Nights 2-4 (different room from night 1)
1. HUGE roach!!! Think B52!
2. Drapes are holey.
3. Tub is old and cracked and feels like I’m going to fall through it to the floor below. And it’s dirty.
4. Towels have black stains on them
5. No kitchen sink in this room, but bathroom sink is made to function as kitchen sink.
6. Finally figuring out the confusing elevator system. New hotel guests look as confused as I felt in the beginning of this stay.
7. Employees located near elevators are grumpy and unhelpful.
8. If you want to use the bathroom or luggage cart in lobby, be prepared to surrender your ID until you return bathroom key or luggage cart.
9. While fridge is bigger, no freezer.
10. Looks like blood in bathroom wall. Ew!
