We recently stayed at the Aqua Palms in Honolulu. The hotel is good if you are on a budget. The location is great as it is only about a 7 minute walk to Waikiki Beach and 15 minute walk to downtown district. The IHop is right next door. Everything is within walking distance of this centrally located hotel. The staff are the best! They were always smiling and willing to assist with anything. The pool is small but there was never a crowd and there were always available loungers. I would definitely go back to this hotel.

Very nice hotel. We chose not to rent a car as the hotel is close to the beach, mall, and plenty of restaurants. A bus stop outside the hotel was also a bonus in taking a day trip to the North Shore. It is a little tricky though as you have to make a connection at the Ala Moana Mall, but the concierge provided step by step instructions. I dnld the Bus app to have the schedule on hand. We were also able to go for nice runs along the canal and parks nearby. Our room was cleaned daily and we had brand new towels. Staff was very polite and the hotel was very clean in all areas. We selected a basic room, but it had all the amenities. I would definitely recommend this to friends and family.

Truth to tell, I had some qualms about staying in a place so far away from the "action" of Wakiiki Beach itself, even though it is directly across from the Hilton Hawaiian Villager and Fort de Russy. But we needn't have worried. The room was spacious, opened up directly to Diamond Head (we were on the 6th level), had been renovated with ample storage space, modernised bathroom, even a micro wave above the bar fridge! The area around abounds in cheap eat places and - better yet - the hotel offers guests a free shuttle to Ala Moana shopping centre and to the Waikiki Beach area. The rooms aren't double-glazed, but the thick curtains shut out most of the traffic noise below. There's parking, a guest laundry 24/7 and a 10% discount at the adjoining Wailana Coiffee House (breakfast, lunch and dinner). It was a real find and the staff were uniformly pleasant and approachable. It was a pleasure to stay there!

We stayed for 10 days. Arrived early for check in as our flight arrived in the morning and our room was ready. Staff were very friendly and helpful. There was the added bonus of the friendly Expedia team in the lobby to help booking activities and any recommendations. Great location close to the beach and free shuttle to Ala Moana and Waikiki Beach. Lovely place to stay.

I enjoyed the stay at the Aqua Palms. If you want a two beds to a room, you need to plan ahead and phone ahead. There is a discount for returning patrons which is nice. There is a small refrigerator and a microwave in the room. It’s an older hotel. When you are in HI, you don’t really need to be in your room anyways
