Waikiki Sand Villa Hotel

Just a few blocks from Kuhio Beach, Honolulu..

I was quite pleased with our visit to Waikiki Sand Villa Hotel. We were able to walk to the beach (about a 7 min. walk) and close to amenities. The room and overall hotel appearance was clean and well maintained. Room view of partial Diamond Head & Ala Wai Canal. There was a light continental breakfast that was adequate to get the day started. Pool was very nice; not like a most of the small hotel pools. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. Highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel's OK, Good Location though

The hotel's in a good location with easy access to the beach, shopping, restaurants, etc. The rooms are old but fairly clean. (I did find evidence of previous guests... hair in the shower.) Those working at the front desk must not live in the area because they were unable to answer many of my questions.

Better than expected.

We stayed here two nights before heading to the Big Island. We were just looking for a basic hotel, as we don't usually spend much time in the room. While The Waikiki Sand Villa is not fancy, it more than met our expectations. The rooms were clean, had free wifi (though not very fast), and had a lanai. We never waited for an elevator. We didn't use the pool, but it looked nice. They had free continental breakfast.(basically toast, coffee and juice). Perry's Smorgie Buffet is right up the street if your looking for a cheap breakfast. Parking is $15 a day for unlimited valet, but that's pretty normal in Waikiki. It's about a 15 minute walk to the beach. Lots of shopping and restaurants near by. All in all, very good for one of the lowest priced hotels in Waikiki.

HOTEL REVIEW

GOOD ROOM FOR THE MONEY

Professional and efficient staff; nice room

True to the Hawaiian way, every staff member I encountered smiled and was helpful without being intrusive. I liked the valet parking and was surprised how quickly they noticed me enter the lobby and were ready to bring my car, if needed. The room was comfortable and clean and had a nice lanai.

OUTSTANDING; FOUR STAR AT LEAST .... CONDO

The "Aloha Surf Builder" rooms are condos across the street from the main hotel. They are luxury rooms with kitchenettes and flat screen tvs w DVD players. King size beds. My only problem was that 11am checkout was non-negotiable. No 1pm or later checkout. There is a nice "Hospitality Room" in main hotel however for early arrival and people like me who just can't get enough of a good deal.

Lots of amenities

Hospitality room is great if you need computer access, the pool and hot tub are in good shape, cost of restaurant foods is reasonable. The downside was the mattresses were not too comfortable. May be a good idea to check out alternate room for bed condition.

Great location

Our room was right near everything very clean convienent and affordable. Only problem was 6am garbage trucks!

kinda ghetto

Don't be fooled by the list of amenities and the proximity to the beach. Or the photos of the lobby. The lobby is noticeably nicer than the rooms. At least, the standard rooms. Our room was very small, had stained curtains, an incredibly hard mattress, tilted counters, a lizard in the room, and a bathtub that filled with water when we showered. Oh, and the breakfast is paltry. Don't stay at this hotel. We ignored the warning reviews of others past guests who rated this hotel and we paid the price.

GReat accommodations for the price

I traveled to Oahu over the weekend and didn't want to bother any friends or family since this was a last minute thing. So I booked this hotel mostly because I knew it was the least expensive that I could find. Being that I mostly needed a room to sleep this was just what I needed to comfort myself. Not lavish myself but I was comfortable in the room I was assigned. Nice bar & grill downstairs that was open till very late hours, a nice and friendly bartender, Wade, was very attentive to all his customers. The hotel had all the basic amenities, including 1st day in room complimentary coffee, complimentary continental breakfast each day comes with the price of the room. I would stay here again.

good for price

Stayed here overnight while doing a function downtown. Only problem was they put us in smoking even though we asked for non. Lucikly they were able to move us to a 3 bed room and we just put two beds together to make it work. Good location to all the action. Clean rooms. Staff was friendly. Bar was nice too.

good room for the price

This hotel was very convenient because it is just minutes from the beach and the Wikiki strip. The room was small but I liked that the room had a frige. Overall, the room was good
