During my stay at Castle Bamboo Waikiki, I enjoyed the convenient location just a short walk from the beach but faced some challenges. The room was spacious and clean, though I did notice some cleanliness issues during my stay. The staff was friendly and responsive to my needs, adding a nice touch to the overall experience. I would recommend this place for its central location, but be mindful of some maintenance aspects.

My stay at Castle Bamboo Waikiki Hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to the beach and plenty of dining options, which made it easy to explore Waikiki. However, the hotel itself is in need of significant upgrades, and some facilities felt a bit neglected. The friendly staff and spacious rooms with kitchenettes were definitely highlights, but issues like noise from the air conditioning and outdated amenities were tough to overlook.

I had a really enjoyable stay at Aqua Bamboo Waikiki Hotel. The room was recently renovated, and I loved having a kitchenette for some self-catering. However, I did encounter a couple of issues with unexpected fees during my booking which was a bit frustrating. Overall, the friendly staff and excellent location made my trip to Waikiki a nice one.

My stay at Castle Bamboo Waikiki was a mixed bag. The location is fantastic, just a short stroll from the beach and various restaurants, which I loved. However, the hotel feels a bit aged, and I encountered several maintenance issues during my visit that dampened the experience (like the fridge not working). Overall, it had potential, but there’s definitely room for improvement.
Rooms

The room was a decent size and clean upon my arrival, though it did show signs of age. I had a kitchenette, which was a nice touch for preparing some meals. Initially, I faced issues with the fridge and a wonky air conditioner, but these were resolved quickly by the staff.

While the staff were generally friendly, I noticed some inconsistency in the reception service. They didn’t seem as welcoming, especially compared to the kitchen/bar staff, who were lovely. It would have been nice to feel more valued as a guest.

I cooked meals in my kitchenette, which was perfect for breakfast and snacks. While the hotel bar wasn’t serving alcohol during my stay, the snacks there were quite tasty.
Facilities

The facilities included good parking, though I would recommend against renting an SUV due to the tight spaces. The overall maintenance of the hotel could use some attention, particularly the hot tub, which often wasn’t hot. Renovations were ongoing, but it still felt a bit ‘ghetto’ in some areas.
