Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel

Affordable. Basic hotel.

The ice maker was not working on our floor, but the he employees offered to bring us a bag to room. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

We were lucky that we were able to check in around 2pm, the line was short and they gave us frozen grapes and pineapples and pineapple juice while waiting. Our room was also ready early. About an hour later at 3pm, the line was long! They gave each of my kids a drawstring backpack with a shovel and pail! We also received a beach bag, with 2 water bottles and a fan for each room we reserved. We were able to pick it up with the beach towels and beach chairs by the pool then fill up the water bottles with the dispensers in the lobby. We had a partial ocean view suite facing the zoo and it was an amazing view! We slept with the patio doors open and listened to the ocean. The patio was a small and you could only stand on it. The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was small with no fan, but it did have a tub. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were lumpy. The coffee maker is a kureig and any time we needed more we would call and they would bring us a selection within 5 minutes. There is also a fridge and a table and chairs. You can rent free movies in the lobby and play them on the PS3 station in your room. There are lots of dining options downstairs and the walk to the beach is only a minute. The location is great and it is at the end of the strip so it is less busy and fairly quiet. Overall a really great hotel and we will stay there again.

The hotel location is great right next to the beach and since it is at the end of Waikiki it is not so crowded. Our rooms were a bit run down, especially in the bathroom, but it didn't affect our enjoyment of the hotel. The term "partial ocean view" is used somewhat loosely since we could see a sliver of the ocean but the view of Diamond Head was great.

Great stay, nice views
