I am a retired travel agent and have just spent two months at this property. I never once had any problems or issues with our unit or the hotel. The hotel employees as well as the manager were most gracious and always greeted us with a warm ALOHA. These units are individually owned and therefore each unit is different. I... More

Arrived to find no-one at the front desk. I went to have a cigerette on the front steps while my husband tried to checked us in. Waited about 20 minutes and finally a security guard same to the desk and told us we were lucky he came down when he did because desk service ends at 10:00 pm. Told us... More

This unit had a very large sleeping area with a comfortable king size bed, living and , dining room right on the beach. One whole wall was a glass view of the beach and park! I choose the junior suite to get the upgrade for a full kitchen, which we greatly enjoyed. We had breakfast on the balcony overlooking a... More

I have and continue to stay at the Waikiki Grand but have learned to stay in the Units maintained by Charles G. I recommend only one unit: 414. It is updated with a new lanai, kitchen, bath and wall air conditioner. Charles worked on cruise ships and runs four or five units in the building. That's the secret of staying... More

I truly believe it's a roll of the dice at this place since each unit is individually owned, but managed by Castle. I bid on Priceline and was impressed with the price I got for a room in Waikiki and didn't even think to review this place, but something nagged at me to take a look. I looked at every... More

It was our second trip to Hawaii, and we were on a budget. We saw a review for 904 and it was spot-on. Super Clean; Hawaii paintings; nice carpet and bedding and smelled fresh & clean -it was quite wonderful. Yes, the room was small, but it was a 1/2 block from the beach and furnishings (with a wet bar)... More

Hotel itself was a bit dated and the AC was noisy and needed to be on or it got really hot in the room. We had a balcony room which was fantastic, had coffee in the morning looking out over the beach. Went to the zoo which was great, BBQ at the beach diner, breakfasts at Wolgang Puck's express.

Originally made review 08/19/2012. Castle Waikiki Grand Hotel response was pretty much - they tried to help us but nothing was good enough. I previously responded but my response was not posted. In simple words, no one helped us. There was no manager on duty for 3 or 4 days and no one contacted us. After almost 7 months we... More

We stayed in Room 304 from 02/26/13-03/01/3. I will list the Pros first. Really close to Waikiki beach, Honolulu Zoo and the Park. There is a fastfood restaurent adjacent to the Hotel. The music from the Bar on 2nd floor was not an issue. Multiple eateries close by. There is free parking on Monsarrat Ave and free overnight parking (6pm-7am)... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Waikiki Grand Hotel boasts one of the best locations in Waikiki, located just steps away from the broadest and sandiest beach in the area, fronting Kapahulu Pier. One side of the pier is open to the ocean where you can watch the surfers and boogie boarders. Expansive grassy lawns are nearby so you can relax and picnic. The other side of the pier is protected by a rock wall, which shelters the beach from incoming waves, providing a calmer cove for swimming. The Waikiki Grand Hotel offers exquisite views of Waikiki Beach, Kapiolani Park, and Diamond Head which can be viewed from your open air lanai. Start the day off with a cup of coffee from the nearby Starbucks and enjoy it on the 10th floor sundeck while taking in the incredible panoramic view of the ocean and Diamond Head. Each room is individually decorated and may offer a different view, but all rooms include FREE internet access, a compact refrigerator and a microwave. On your way to the beach, stop at one of the equipment rental shops to pick up snorkeling gear and explore the sparkling waters in Waikiki. Like more action? Stop in at the world famous Hans Hedemann surf school located next door, or pick up a boogie board and some fins to catch a wave at the best boogie boarding area in Waikiki, just a block from the hotel. Need a break from the beach? No problem! Walk across the street to the Honolulu Zoo, take a 5 minute stroll down the beach to the Waikiki Aquarium, or hike up Diamond Head crater to enjoy breathtaking views of Honolulu, Waikiki and Hawaii Kai.After a long day in the sun, grab a bite to eat at the award winning Teddy’s Bigger Burgers located on the 1st floor. On the second floor, there's always a party going on at the colorful and gay-friendly Hula's Bar and Lei Stand, a beach bar by day and a popular hot spot at night. Grab some food from one of the nearby ABC stores and enjoy a sunset picnic in Kapiolani Park while listening to the concerts being performed at the Waikiki Shell. ... more   less
