6.2/10

My stay at Kuhio Banyan Hotel was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by eateries. However, I encountered several major issues, including a problem with bed bugs and rude management that overshadowed the positives. While the kitchenette was a nice feature, the cleanliness and overall condition of the rooms were disappointing.

Rooms

5.0

I found my room to be quite dated and not very clean, with a kitchenette that seemed functional but had issues. The air conditioning was noisy, and the decor felt old. Housekeeping was lacking unless specifically requested, which caught me off guard after a few days.

Service

5.0

The staff appeared friendly, but my experience with management regarding the bed bug issue was rude and dismissive. When I tried to report my concerns, I felt like they didn't care about the situation at all.

Location

8.0

The hotel is excellently located right in the heart of Waikiki and just a few blocks from the beach, which was a definite plus. However, it’s right above a nightclub that can be quite loud, especially at night.

Dining

7.0

I didn't dine at the hotel but appreciated the kitchenette for preparing my own meals. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, making it easy to find good food.

Facilities

5.0

Amenities like laundry and grocery services were available, but the overall upkeep was disappointing. The lack of consistent housekeeping also made it less comfortable.

5.8/10

My stay at the Kūhiō Banyan Hotel was disappointing overall. On the one hand, the location is excellent for exploring Waikiki, and the staff was polite. However, I encountered serious issues, including noise disturbances from the nightclub below and a lack of cleanliness, which severely affected my experience.

Rooms

5.0

The room was clean but dated, facing a noisy club and lacking basic amenities like a safe. I struggled with noise from the bass until the early hours and had to rely on sleeping aids. The lack of air flow from windows made it uncomfortable.

Service

5.0

Overall, the staff was polite, but I felt their attitude could improve significantly, especially regarding guest concerns. The front desk closed early, which added to the feeling of being unsupported.

Location

8.0

The hotel is right in the heart of Waikiki, making it easy to walk to shops and the beach. Despite its great location, being above a loud nightclub was a major inconvenience.

Dining

6.0

While I didn't dine there, the proximity to authentic Italian pizza places and other eateries made meal options convenient.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel had housekeeping services, but the overall facilities felt outdated and could benefit from a refresh to improve the experience.

6.0/10

I had a decent stay at Kuhio Banyan Hotel. The location was really convenient, just a couple of blocks from the beach and near a bunch of restaurants. However, the hotel itself is quite dated and needs some serious upgrades, especially in the bathrooms. While the staff was nice and accommodating, the odd layout and some maintenance issues took away from the experience.

Rooms

6.0

The room was spacious and had a nice little kitchenette, but the Murphy bed was a bit weird. Some updates would make it more comfortable.

Service

7.0

The staff was friendly and helpful, though I did notice some maintenance requests went unaddressed during my stay.

Location

8.0

The location was excellent, close to Waikiki beach and lots of places to eat, but it’s tucked away a bit, making it hard to find initially.

Dining

8.0

There are plenty of dining options nearby, which made it easy to grab food without going far.

Facilities

5.0

I appreciated that there was a laundry facility available, but other amenities were pretty minimal and the overall condition of the hotel felt run down.

6.0/10

Overall, my stay at Kuhio Banyan Hotel was a mix of ups and downs. I really loved the location, super close to the beach and all sorts of restaurants and shops. However, the hotel itself felt pretty outdated, and I dealt with some noisy neighbors from the nightclub below, which made things a bit uncomfortable at times.

Rooms

6.0

The room was decent, featuring a small kitchenette that was pretty well-equipped. However, the cleanliness left something to be desired, and I also dealt with some small bugs in the room when food was around.

Service

7.0

I found the staff to be friendly and helpful, but there was a weird check-in policy after hours that was pretty frustrating. I felt like I had to jump through hoops just to verify my reservation.

Location

9.0

Can't beat the location! I was right in the heart of things—across from the international market and just a short walk to the beach at Royal Hawaiian Hotel. It’s definitely a plus.

Dining

5.0

Dining options were mainly fast food nearby, and I didn't find the local coffee to be up to par. I'd recommend grabbing coffee from a wholesale supplier instead.

Facilities

6.0

Facilities were okay; they provided nice beach towels, chairs, and umbrellas, which were helpful. However, I did notice that housecleaning could have been more thorough.

5.0/10

I was initially excited to stay at Kuhio Banyan Hotel due to its affordability and location, but my experience was disappointing. The room was in dire need of cleaning and maintenance, with issues like dust and bugs visible upon arrival. On the positive side, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the kitchenette offered convenience for breakfast. However, the noise from the surrounding area made it hard to enjoy my stay.

Rooms

5.0

The room was dirty with dust and bugs, and the Murphy bed mechanism was inconvenient. Even the kitchenette had some issues, like a clogged sink.

Service

5.0

The staff attempted to help, but the overall attitude felt dismissive when problems arose, particularly with room cleanliness.

Location

5.0

While the hotel is conveniently located in Waikiki, it's right above a nightlife area that can be quite noisy, making it hard to relax.

Dining

5.0

The kitchenette was useful for simple meal prep, but my request for additional coffee was met with a charge.
