Kuhio Banyan Hotel (with Kitchenettes)

Studios include kitchenettes, plus handy extras like loaner beach gear and a self-serve laundry. There is no on-site parking and a ground-floor nightclub often brings loud late-night noise; there is no pool.

Feedback is mixed: several guests found rooms clean, but recurring reports cite cockroaches or other bugs, musty odors, and worn fixtures. Housekeeping is limited, with towels sometimes provided but little or no interim room cleaning.

Rooms are basic and dated, most with Murphy beds and small but functional kitchenettes; some feel spacious while others are dark with limited natural light. Nightclub and street noise can carry late, and showers are small or awkward.

Staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and accommodating, with useful touches like luggage storage. Limited front desk hours and a cash late check-in fee caused difficult arrivals for some, and a few reported rude interactions.

Central Waikiki location within an easy walk of the beach, International Market Place, restaurants, shops, and bus lines. The lively setting also brings late-night noise from the neighboring nightclub and street activity.
