Castle Hokele Suites Waikiki - Honolulu

Not a fun place to stay, it's old there is nothing good about it only the fact that it is close to shopping stores and the the beach. I do not recommend anyone to stay here. They do have a charge for everything at the end you are better off paying a little more for a better place. WILL NEVER STAY HERE AGAIN.!!!!!!!

We had to look for a hotel with a kitchen included since we have an infant. It was inexpensive compared to the rest of Oahu. Considering you are walking distance from the beach and in the Waikiki area, it was worth it. My only complaints were about the maintenance of the rooms and cleanliness. We felt the smell of stale air as soon as we walked in and […] had to ventilate the place to dampen the smell. It wasn't too bad after that. I was worried but found NO bugs. The towels were replaced pretty often and trash was removed frequently. However I found that they had adequate utensils but the knife was pretty blunt and needed an effort to cut anything. Internet is not included and neither is parking. I paid $20 for parking per day and $24 for internet for the week. They had a clean pool. Public transportation is pretty close by and actually found it pretty comfortable. The location was awesome since it was in waikiki area and to me the beach was in walking distance (10-15min). I don't think you can ask more for the price. Read more

we only stayed one night and i was glad for that. we had a "3 room suite" turns out it was a two room with an ajoining room. the hotel rooms were really old looking. everything look old and run down. the bathroom floor looked like it needed to be bleached. the shower was so dirty that I only washed my hair in the sink as I was going to be at a different […] hotel the next evening. it was really close to shopping areas and the beach. I went downstairs to use the computer and paid for 30 minutes to print my boarding passes and after 12 minutes of getting errors, it told me I needed to purchase more time as the remaining 18 minutes were not enough to print what i needed. what a crock, my passes finally printed after paying a total of 10 dollars for what should have been an hours time and was actually only 15 minutes. what a racket. I wouldn't stay here again. i'd pay the extra for a nicer hotel. Read more

For the money, it was ok. It is a very old hotel and the rooms could use some renovating. I wore my sandals when I showered. It was only a couple of blocks to walk to the beach and shopping. The breakfast was very Japanese and 2 buses of Japanese tourists came in to eat while we were there.

I stayed here for two days. Releatively, it is clean and the staff is nice. And it is also cheap. With that being said, they charge WIFI and the it is a little expensive. You can find free wifi in the apple store or other department stores though. They don't have cutting board. The bathroom is very small. It is too close to the next building.

The staff and location was wonderful. Hotel was older but the maintenance personnel were always making improvements to make the surroundings look and feel inviting.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very noisy, scary neighborhood, lock off door not locked, could hear neighbors and see their room lights, beautiful pool, friendly staff, room smelled of mildew or smoke

It was the worse place I have stay on my life, they charge for every single thing including, WiFi, $ 9.00 dlls a day for that, coffee for you coffee maker is not included a $1.00 for a single serving, parking $20.00 a day. I will never come back to that place nor suggested to anybody .

Hotel staff was helpful and friendly. The location was great for the price and a short walk to the beach, however if you are sensitive to noise, it's not going to work for you. You can hear everything happening on the streets below. The rooms were old and in need of a refresh. The shower had an old smell, bathroom had no fan or ventilation, and the […] sofa bed pull out was awful! Loved the microwave and fridge. We never used the stove though. Read more

Nice place.Helpful, friendly staff. Only 6 min walk to the beach & right on the Bus lines. Would definitely stay there again

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

And the kitchen is a big plus, we used it for cooking breakfast, saved us lots of money and time!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I paid same price as Ala Moana which is a way cleaner and newer hotel last year,this hotel is only good for someone spent the entire day outside and just need a place to sleep, i will only pay no more than $50 per day but not close to $200.

I think it is good for stay but a little expensive for the period

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

........... PROS........... the staff was very nice and hospitable. Service was good and tried to accommodate all our requests (roll-away bed, extra sheets, iron and board, bottle opener). Location is great! Close to the beach, all major buses, shopping, restaurants, and sights .................... CONS ........... we had a 1BR suite, the couch in the […] living room was run down, old, and uncomfortable. our lanai (balcony) faced a parking garage. from the 2nd floor it was very, very noisy at night with trucks, buses, and rowdy people passing all night - making it hard to sleep. appliances and amenities are outdated and very basic. ........... SUMMARY............. if you are looking for comfort, peace & quiet, or R&R - this is not the place. If you are looking for an affordable place to crash while being close to everything, then its just right for that. Read more

Even though I rated everything just OK, I would recommend the hotel because it is moderately priced, has a convenient parking facility at a moderate price and is conveniently located in the center of Waikiki. I rated the condition only 2 because there is renovation work going on around the pool, but I realize that is temporary.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The parking is not at the hotel, but about a 2 minute walk. Pool is not great. We liked that the hotel was a studio with a mini kitchen but everything was outdated and not my idea of a clean standard for hotels.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Couldn't tell if the shower was old or dirty. Parking at the site was one way in and out and very close. Parking at the off site was a lot better and not far to walk to.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

we were on a 'working vacation' so weren't looking for a 5 star hotel, so this was an appropriate choice. Staff was friendly, great location, and nice ambience overall. But the hotel is a bit shabby, could use a good cleaning and a bit more attention from housekeeping staff. Bed comfortable, but shouldn't claim to sleep four as the 'sleeper sofas' are […] old and not conducive to sleep! We stacked 2 mattresses from adjoining rooms and then it was just ok. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

i'm not terribly picky but it looked like an old outdated motel, and not on the best of streets. not dangerous but a bit of a dive. just glad we only had one night there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Parking cost $20.00 a day less than expected.Saved a lot of money not eating out every day having a kitchen made are week long stay more comfortable. Staff is very freindly and informative,we planned to see everything by car they help us locate places on a map.Beach items you can borrow.

Very clean and neat. 24 hour sevice at desk. Wake up call reliable and taxi arrived at precise time ordered. On bus route with easy walk to beach.

Great location, but badly in need of renovation. Bed sheets and towels were threadbare. Lights were not working. Carpets looked dingy and the deck door was hard to open. We chose this because it had a kitchenette, but everything looked so musty and unwelcoming that we ended up not using the kitchen and tried to minimize our time in the room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It had all the working parts but needs a facelift. It is older and it showed. Needs some new paint and updating in the bathrooms

Genuine Expedia guest review

LOVE IT WILL DO IT AGAIN

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It may not be a 5 star hotel but the staff was helpful to the 9's! I left some clothes in the closet by accident and they wer kind enough to forward them on to me. Thank you!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel was conveniently located near Waikiki activities. It is an older low-rise building that could use some upgrading. The staff was pleasant and our room was quiet. Parking was $20.00 extra per night, but we could park in the garage at the hotel site.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel locates in the heart of Waikiki. Walking distance to all restaurants, shops, bars, and beaches. Very convenient. The room is very spacious with a kitchen. It's perfect for a budget hotel. Staff are very friendly. I would stay at this hotel again.

I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME, I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE ONLY ONES CAN GO TO A ROOM FLOOR IS WITH THE HOTEL ROOM CARD, AND THAT MY VERY IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE ITEMS WHERE ALWAYS SAFE. THANK YOU

Genuine Expedia guest review

The staff was nice and helpful. The hotel was not in good condition. A lot of run down parts and cleanliness was poor. The suites are too small. The one or two bedroom rooms are much better and roomy just not that clean looking. The parking garage is very small and not easy to manuver in. I recommend a hotel more on the main Waikiki strip.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The place is cheap but it's a dump. Only saving grace is everyone that works there was really helpful.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hotel and room is smell stinky. It is horible when first step into the room. The smell of carpet contaiminated food inside the room. I have to turn on AC to suck the smell out of the room. the building is old. The parking space is limited. Most of guest have to park in pubblic parking building 1 block away hotel with cost of $20/night.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Our first time in Hawaii and let’s just say things are real different here. Their customer service is non existent. Their housekeeping is non existent. Their beds feel like the ones they have a camp. We had to ask several times to have our room cleaned and this was after 3 days without service. I had to demand they change the sheets, because I asked […] them twice before we left only to return after being out the entire day with a 2 year old…and they didn’t even come into our room. The front desk says she’ll see if there is anyone there that can change them or they would just drop the sheets off. I got off of my high horse and said “I am not changing the sheets!” “You need to get someone up here to do it!” Well I guess I should have been a little nicer, since the sheets they brought us were worst then the ones we already had on the bed…the “clean” ones had stains, holes, and were so thin you could see through them. Oh I forgot the best/worst part. Upon our arrival and entry of our room I had to immediately call the front desk and have them remove the bedspreads. They were visibly stained beyond repair…and we never saw them again (thankfully). Would I stay here again? No, not ever, no way, no how. Was it a great deal for someone that thought they wouldn’t mind staying there? Yes. Would I recommend this place to anyone? No Read more

The price and location are it's best features. It's just a few blocks to the beach and an even shorter walk to the main shopping street. The tour companies have a pick up location a block away. The kitchenettes are well equipped which was a big plus because food in that area is really expensive. The staff was friendly and able to answer any questions […] we had. We'd stay again. Read more

Customers service is ok until they over charged me such a headache I have to call my bank.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The location of this hotel is okay. About 10-12 minutes walk from Waikiki shops and beach. I room was not in a good condition. It badly needs remodeling. The kitchenette is very small with old utensils that we did not even feel like using. The bed is very uncomfortable. It is very hard to find parking in this area, however we managed to find free parking […] all days. The hotel charges 20 dollars a day for self park. They will assign you a spot about 3-4 blocks away. We decided to find our own parking as we would anyways have to drive 3-4 blocks.. The tour staff is very friendly. We booked our PCC general admission and HA show through her. Overall, not so great place, look for someplace near the beach. Read more

Front desk staff were good and very nice. But hotel is run down and not a 3 star for sure.

Quite nice to have a kitchenette in room. Hotel is a bit older, but full of families and clean.

This is the second time we have stayed at Hokele Suites and found it in a great location to go shopping and to find food. The rooms are clean and neat and the staff is VERY friendly. The hotel could use some freshening up, like paint and fixing holes in the walls...but overall it was a very pleasant stay.

Ghetto and dirty.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Castle Suites has definitely seen better days, but the price on Hotels.com was definitely the best value available. Seem to cater to groups who have arrived and need a night to stay before moving on to their resort, etc. The owners seem to be addressing some of the ongoing maintaince issues mentioned in previous reviews. The pool is open and beautiful […] with the tile turtles on the bottom, and surprisingly receives quite a bit of sun, even with the surrounding high rises. Room was clean and comfortable. Flat screen TV. Kitchenette could use a few more gadgets. Only complaints: the linens were thread bare and worn and showed evidence many cigarette holes, even though there is no smoking allowed at all. The room also had a very strong smoke smell, which did however dissipate with the air conditioning on. Parking expensive at $20/day, and you have to back out of the garage, as there is not enough room to turn around even the smallest of cars. Carpets appeared newer. Overall, nice location, adequate facility, at a bargain price. If you want 5 stars, you have to pay for it. But Castle Suites was just fine for us- Hey its Hawaii!! Read more

Location of the hotel is great, but you can smell the Chinese restaurant on the ground floor on your lanai balcony and in your room, if the windows are open - at night it was ok. The view from our 3rd floor room was onto a neighboring parking garage. Parking at the hotel is very limited, we had to park in a shopping center parking lot at a short distance […] away, which was a little inconvenient. Overall we very satisfied. Read more

ROOM STINK! when we entered the room, we were really surprised by the smell -- just like a NEVER CLEANED KITCHEN. the towels in the bathroom appear DARK. the tiny closet-like shower place is dark when the curtain is closed. The sheets are dirty.... the only lucky part is we only stayed one night
