Continental Surf Hotel

Perfect for a budget traveller

Would definitely recommend it if you just need a cheap place in central location to spend the night. Close to the beach, shops, restaurants. Not the cleanest. I found a dead cockroach in the bathroom LOL. You get what you pay for. Note that there's a fee for parking and it is high. You can park in a hotel a block away for half the price.

I sure exceeded my expectations based on comments!

There was absolutely nothing wrong with this hotel. Consider in a Japanese or Euro Style hotel in a big city ... or somethin'. The rooms were small but perfik' for me OR a honeymoon couple or other couple ... who get along. My room had an oceanfront view, a microwave, a med. fridge, and comfortable standard sized bed. The tub was actually larger than most Waikiki hotel tubs. Room was very adequate. Staff was hardworking and helpful and friendly. Location could not be much better. I like this hotel and will come back!

Okay for the cost

I would rate this hotel just barely okay. I'd stay there again if I needed an inexpensive place in Waikiki again, but would not tarnish my reputation by recommending it to friends. The location is good and the front desk staff did a fine job but the physical condition of this property leavea a lot to be desired. It leaves the impression of deferred maintenance and cost cutting measures by tight-wad owners. BTW,the wireless computer access only works in certain rooms so if this is important to you, be sure to mention it when you check in. We had to change rooms to access email.

Great Room For The Money!

The hotel was in a great location (a block from the beach and the City Bus stops right in front of the hotel from the airport). The room was a little small - think European. Then again, who stays in their room in Hawaii. In response to other comments I have seen, our AC was not noisy and the elevator arrived quickly.

Good Room for the money

I arrived in town at 3AM, was tired and couldn't wait to get to bed. The room was okay, looked liked a small studio, but it met my needs at the time. I would recommend Aqua Continental to those that want to save on the expense of hotel accommodations.

nasty hotel

There was no hot water; the beds were sub-standard; the A/C didn't work and I will never stay there again!

OK for short stay and cost conscious ones

The hotel was in a very convenient location. No doubt about it. However, because of the location, it was also very noisy and the hotel had minimal sound prooved walls to either the outside or adjacent rooms. It was OK if you stayed for a few nights. After a few nights, you either get used to it or it gets to you. I heard the bus throughout the night. The cost was definitely unbeatable for Waikiki. I traveled solo to Oahu and the small room worked out for me. However, it's definitely not for families. The hotel elevator was very slow. If you have places to be, be sure to leave plenty of time to get downstairs by elevator as the stairs are not accessible.

Great location for the money

Don't choose this property if you are out to make a big impression. On the other hand if you want a basic room, in a great location in Waikiki then consider this property.

Excellent Value

There's good parts and bad parts, but we were still extremely happy, cause this place was a bargain. Bad- No balconies, beds are small (twins), room decor is ugly, noisy air conditioner Good- Good location, wonnderful helpful concierge, comfortable beds, clean room, fridge, and microwave, awesome bargain

Great room for the money

We stayed in a small room with twin beds that had a small refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker. Those came in handy for breakfast and keeping leftovers. There is no swimming pool nor did our room have a lanai (balcony), so it felt a bit cramped. But for the price, the location was great (two blocks from the beach and close to the International Marketplace and a full service market). The bus also stops just next to the hotel.
