Royal Grove Waikiki

Great locally owned business in a prime location one block from the beach. They offer umbrellas, chairs, and towels to take to the beach. 24/7 laundry machines available, very cheap pricing as well for that. They also sell detergent for $1/load at the front desk. They have live music and hula dancers on Wednesday nights in the lobby that play for a few hours, great sense of community. Only complaint is some ants in the bathroom.

From start, this is more like 3-4* review but considering all the circumstances, a solid 5*.
The room was very dated but everything functional. You can't beat the location, you can see Waikiki Beach from front of the hotel. That leads to a negative, very noisy at all times so be sure you have earplugs for night sleep. The staff is super friendly and willing to help within the limits. There are free beach towels for your convenience. The room had a full kitchenette, very dated but again, all you need to prepare your own food and avoid the insane restaurant prices. There is a laptop size safe. The TV has lots of good quality channels. The water pressure was great for both cold and hot. There is a small pool in the interior court but never used it being about 200m from Waikiki Beach. On Wednesday evenings there is a nice music concert in the main area, free to attend.
No unexpected fees confirmed and this was basically the reason I stayed at this hotel.
Despite some significant negatives, when coming back to Honolulu this hotel will be on top of my choices.

I stayed there in mid-December. The rooms feel outdated at first glance, but were well cleaned and comfortable after use. The location is ridiculously perfect, the beds were very comfy, and they have good toilet paper.

Beyond the rooms, it had the most friendly staff I’ve ever worked with. Shout out to Denise for working with me to extend my stay and the rest of my complicated situation. The manager was involved too, and did everything they could for me. 10/10 staff experience. I’ll be back in Oahu next year, and I’ll be staying here for sure.

clean room and place to stay, friendly staff as well. you can tell everything is outdated but it matches the price you pay. the location was amazing. would stay here again.

Close to the beach with a old fashion look. Great staff. Top floor has nice aromas from nearby restaurants of grilled foods. Smelling the foods will make you want to eat.

The kitchen is small but has a good size refrigerator and all the dishes and utensils are neat and clean. Fully stocked bedding for extra guests and my room was just a few steps away from the pool. I'm planning a trip back but I think I will check the upper floor for the view.

Best rates in town. For now. So close to the beach. Great location. Friendly staff. Go Grove Royal. I like the place. Those rooms have a mini kitchen and spacious and clean rooms. Had a big balcony.
