Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel

This inexpensive (for Waikiki) hotel has one of the best locations in Waikiki. Rooms are small (250sf) but this is typical for many of the competitors. No pool which is clearly disclosed but there is a huge salt water "pool" across the street. DAILY housekeeping! Minifridge with no icebox, Keurig coffee maker (be sure the basket is seated properly). The wifi in our room was fine, able to watch YouTube video on phone. Room safe was a little dodgy (found all numbers wouldn't punch) ,test your combo. TV worked fine. After 3 weeks on saggy cruise beds I had 2 nights of good sleep on firm double bed with 4 pillows. Linens, carpet and towels were clean. NO mold or dust. I have allergies and they did not act up.Water pressure and temp control fine. Elevator a little slow in the morning. The desk chair upholstery was worn on the corners and there were some minor paint bubbles. Wall A/C units may need replacing soon, noisy when fan set on low. It did maintain temp and had clean filter. No drips.They hold luggage in the office which is staffed 24/7. The small lobby has filtered water, DVD rental. An often overlooked perk is admission to the Bishop museum using your room key (read websites people!!) My main tip if you care about noise is to book a high floor partial ocean view which gets an epic view from the balcony (ask to face the Espacio side). The balcony doors are double paned and with triple plantation shutters that worked well to block light and noise.Perfect for those who want a reasonable place to sleep.

Great customer service and perfect location! Booked in advance for a great price! Ocean view room on the beach for under $200. Room was simple but had everything you would need for a beach getaway. I will definitely check prices there again for a few days in Waikiki!

Cock a doodle doo!You ever wanted a rooster every morning to wake you up? Well heres your chance. Theres a nearby rooster down on the street that makes noise all morning. theres - no hotel lobby- no business work space area- no gym- no pool- and the elevator broke (great for walking up/down 7 floors with a baby stroller)What else...- door seeps in light from hallways at night- door is about 2 feet from elevator so you always hear people- hotel shares space with 'EGGs and Things' restaurant so its super crowded every morning.- wall paint is chipping and old- flashing white light at ceiling from the fire alarm (terrible for sleeping)- carpet is damp - AC unit is super loud and nasally. it also drips water- beds are rock hard and pillows are ultra flat- pee stain on bedsheet- shower water is strangely super cold or super hot- lots of street noise (but this is okay because its in the heart of Waikiki and at a great central location)- rooms are very small, so its hard to get thru door with strollers, luggage and other things- probably also suffers from the oval design of the rooms due to the circular shape of the buildingAt this price point, its all for the location but we were so dreading the nights because the beds were so uncomfortable. Instead of relaxation, we came home with aching pain in our back, neck and shoulders.This place is in dire needs of updated beds, paint, carpeting and plumbing.

This location can't be beat. The rooms are small, but for the easy access to the beach and the fun amenities they provide for the price I think it's definitely worth it. There's free filtered water in the lobby along with free movie rentals that's perfect for nights when kids are just too tired. They have paddle boards, floaties and sand toys you can borrow on beach days too. We stayed in an ocean view which was quite beautiful to sit and people watch from. Big plus is eggs n things is downstairs so you can grab breakfast and enjoy up in your room. Definitely would stay again.

I booked this hotel president weekend. When i first arrived i was told my room was upgraded to a ocean view, no charge. So i was stoked! Parking was $45 a night. When i first entered the room, it was tiny. Especially for the price i paid. My room was about $300+.My bathroom had used hand soap in the holder. That was already red flag. I noticed my sliding door had no curtain as seen in pic. I had to hand the blanket. There was absolutely no privacy. I was on the 3rd floor which is right above the eggs and things restaurant And closer to the road. The outside noise was so loud and there was some drunk man screaming for a good 1-2 hours.I am very annoyed and wonder what you could do to fix this situation....

I absolutely loved this hotel. Low key and less expensive compared to bigger names in the area, but didn't take away at all from the basics I need-- a balcony, ocean view and fresh air. The view from our room was perfect and the staff were all so nice. As a book lover, I liked that they have a mini library in the lobby. I was already reading a book on Kindle and I finished it one lazy afternoon at the beach, and then didn't have time for more. However, I love the concept.They also give you one plastic water bottle per person, with the name of the hotel on it. To me, that's way better than the famous Stanley because it comes with memories and adventure. They have water-filling station in the lobby, next to the library.There was only one time I was less than happy when a guy in the reception in the morning told me there is a limit of sugar I can have per day, when I asked for extra sugar for my coffee. It hit me the wrong way because a hotel that's charging over $300 a night can afford the sugar. What did he think I was going to do with the sugar, sell it for profit? Lol. My dude, I actually consume that much sugar per coffee. Luckily the good experiences greatly overshadowed this small bad moment. John and Steve were always great and they never said anything when I asked for extra sugar.

Not the fanciest hotel in Waikiki..but this establishment is one of the best bang for you buck and has one of the best ocean views of the beach. It's right smack in the middle of the city so everything is walking distance. Across the street from Duke's statue. ABC store just downstairs off the building, and an Egg n Things breakfast place (that's always packed) just off the front desk. The rooms are small, but clean, updated, and adequate...it has a fridge, coffee maker, but no microwave. We didn't really mind because we spend our time outside enjoying Oahu anyway. What this hotel makes up for and definitely makes it worth it is the perfect ocean view you'll get (if you get the ocean front rooms). Parking can be troublesome if you have a rental car because it is very limited, although they have additional parking that's about 2 blocks away from a sister company. We lucked out and got parking in the building. The host, Shawn, is one of the nicest you'll meet. Very hospitable and very helpful. The staff are all very nice as well. They have a wall with pictures and history of the hotel by the front desk...I recommend you read (or at least browse through it). It gives you an appreciation of the hotel and its owner. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Small room but location is super convenient. Loved waking up early and be able to walk across the street to the beach.Convenient as it is right next to a McDonalds and ABC Store.The rooms can definitely be modernize overall, very enjoyable.

my experienced would have been better except for the front desk at 11:30pm today 01/26/25. i asked for a favor if i could just atleast my friend could park at their parking space atleast 1hr. but he insisted he cannot. so everyone is very nice and i love this place the whole 4days and 3 nights stay until this happened?! for a only small favor that front desk made me put 1 star on this hotel!

Location is prime! Just steps from Waikiki Beach. Friendly and helpful staff. They showed us room options before we paid for an offered upgrade. Room was on the small side, but it was clean and had a beautiful view. On site parking lot in the basement was small, but as long as there are places when you arrive, you can prepay for your stay and you'll be guaranteed a spot as there is a lever gate with a remote they give you to ensure parking is for hotel guests only. We would definitely stay here again!!
