Castle Ocean Resort Hotel Waikiki

Good Value

The hotel was adequate for our needs. Our room was supposed to have a stove, but did not. None of the soda machines worked, but there were plenty of functioning ice machines. The hookers outside on the street made for some interesting atmosphere. Short walk to the beach so the location was convienent. Showers were pleasantly consistant with temperature.

Great Price and Location

Good location and a comfy place to stay just two blocks away from the beach. Considering that we spent almost all the time outside and required only a few hours in the room. it's a great bargain. The reception and the staff at the bell desk were good. The man who organizes tours (the one that sat at the tour desk in the evening) was a bit condescending because we were enquiring about cheaper tours, and could be a little nicer.

cheap stay

The hotel was really old and the elevator was SOOO slow. It is a fine hotel for people that just need somewhere to crash, but it is not really pleasant to hang out in the room. However, the location of the hotel is fabulous, it is close enough to walk to the beach and many shops and is a short driving distance to the harbor for all the fishing and parasailing activities.

Great for the money

I thought the hotel was great for the price we paid. The location is great right by the Waikiki strip that leads to great bars and restraunts. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly and polite. My only complaint would be there is no cold water for brushing my teeth or washing my face it was extrememly hot water only.

Decent hotel for the price

The hotel is decent. It was clean but the decore was vintage late 80s, early 90s. The location is a block from the beach, nice but too far from the clubs on kuhio. If your there to party avoid this hotel. If you are there for a little romance you might want to avoid it too as there is no gurantee that you will get a single bed, even if you called ahead to ask for one. If you don't get the queen size, you'll get two small twin beds, lame! I recommend this hotel because of the price, if you want something nicer, be prepared to pay double.

Hotel Castle Ocean Resort Hotel Wikiki

Hotel has a very good locatiion. It is close to Wikiki Beach and to the bus station (just about 3 min. walking). The room is very simple: just a bed, little table with two chairs and tv with programs on purchase. Refrigerator which is located in the bathroom(?) is very small. There is no coffee maker in the room. For the price we paid (50% less summer sales) it was ok but for the full price I would never booked that hotel again. When we arrived to hotel for registeration they asked us to give them credit card for copying, they said it was insurance just in case if something would be missing after our departure. It sounded as if they did not trust to customers. We felt confused and not welcomed. I have stayed in many different hotels and this was the first that asked the thing like that. In overal the stay was good.

Good hotel but weird issues

Ridiculous that you have to pay to use an iron.

pretty decent!

I live in hawaii and getting a hotel thats a block from the main waikiki strip was worth trading in for the 5 star resort! The room has the comforts that you need but nothing fancy! but who cares cause your not staying in your room most of the day!

Disappointing

I stayed for at Castle Ocean Resort for almost the entire month of August 2009. It was very disappointing. The furnishings, including rugs, drapes and trash receptacles near the elevators, were very shabby. The air conditioning did not seem to stay at a constant temperature, my television remote did not work, and after it was replaced, the television was faulty. In my kitchenette unit, the kithen sink had obviously been leaking for an extended period under the cabinet by the time I reported it. My kitchenette included one free regular coffee filter and one free decaf coffee filter upon check-in, but that was the extent of the complimentary items. But the worst of all, on the morning of our originally scheduled check-out, we were made to feel by one young woman at the front desk that we were being evicted. (The older woman at the front desk, Lynn, was consistently helpful, however.) For the length of time that we stayed in the hotel, I thought we were treated poorly, and I would not recommend this hotel to others.
