Best WLM Reviews
They took care of me so well! The moment I showed up the front desk made it their responsibility to tell me about what I might be interested in. We had conversation about solo travel. They even helped me extend my stay and provided provide an upgrade for $10 more a day! I had the most amazing views!
This is the hotel I plan on visiting every time I come to Honolulu. There was a particular employee at the front desk that took care of me but for the life of me I can't remember his name but I will remember how he made me feel. I always felt appreciated and like a special customer.
I was a little nervous to stay here after reading reviews about it being rundown and not clean, but I'm glad I decided to reserve it and take the chance. I didn't notice either of those whatsoever. My room was clean and very nice, beds were super comfortable, just everything was great. Staff was super nice and accommodating, one maid even stopped to distract my son when he was having a tantrum. Multiple times they watched my room key so I could swim in the ocean without worrying about anything being stolen. The beach is directly across the street and Oceanview is affordable. If you're feeling unsure about staying here, I don't see any reason not to. I will be back. Attached is a photo of my view. I was bottom floor.
**Extremely Disappointing Experience at Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel – A Scam!**
My family and I had an otherwise fantastic trip to Oahu, but our experience at the Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel was marred by an appalling situation that can only be described as a scam. On the surface, everything seemed fine — great service, good location, and no major issues with the hotel. But that all changed when we were offered and accepted an upgrade to an oceanfront room, paying $100 in cash upfront.
Upon check-out, however, we were told that no one, including the staff member who took our cash, could remember or provide any proof of our payment. Thus the hotel refused to return the handling deposit that was supposed to be refunded to our card. This is unacceptable, especially considering we paid in good faith and were given no recourse or explanation.
It’s infuriating that a hotel with a reputation like this would handle something so basic so poorly. We handed over cash directly to staff — there's no reason this should have been an issue, let alone one that was ignored and dismissed by the hotel. The lack of accountability and poor communication from the staff left us feeling completely scammed.
While we loved our time in Hawaii, this unresolved situation has completely soured our experience with Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel. We will not be returning, and I strongly urge others to be cautious when dealing with any financial transactions here. It was a disgraceful way to end our vacation.
We always choose the Aston Circle because of its great location Waikiki beach. We opt for a frontal ocean view and it's worth it.||The rooms are sufficient for short stays. There's car parking if needed. On checkin they offer refillable water bottles. They give you beach towels, They have various flotation devices. Staff are friendly and helpful, especially Shaun.||You cross the road and go for a swim at Waikiki beach. It's got one of the best waterfront locations at Waikiki beach.||ABC shop below to stock up on food, drinks, souvenirs or clothes, they sell almost everything.||I highly recommend the Circle hotel having stayed there many times by choice.
I really should be giving this place a low rating so that I could be selfish and keep the place for myself the next time around.
But I got to be honest: This was the best value in Waikiki! Might be old, but they did a great job of keeping the decor nice! The water pressure was low, but bearable. Reception service was awesome. All the amenities you would need. Perfect location.
This was a very bad experience for us. We booked 2 rooms for 4 nights with Booking.com as our relatives were coming from Australia and we wanted to give them a treat.
From the lobby...I wouldn't say lobby rather the check in window just like the one at the amusement park to our room the place was dirty.
The rooms are small and the carpets were torn. I tripped and almost hit my head on the glass closet door.
The advertisement is deceiving. It's not what you see online.
On the same night of my check in I called Booking.com and asked them to cancel my stay. I was able to get the refund for 3 nights.
We ended up staying at Hilton Waikiki Beach Report for the same price that we were paying at Ashton Circle.
My only advise to everyone who want to stay there is to run miles away from this property.
Overall good experience. The building was old and outdated. The room was too small. Definitely lots of room for improvement. I would recommend the hotel but not my first choice. Hope to see more improvements within the next few years. Great location though!
Love this place. Nothing beats its location and views , especially if you get a room with direct ocean view.
I’d happily go back and many thanks to John at reception for a great service and kindness. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great price on the heart of it all.
