About this property
Iconic Ilikai Hotel #1004. Newly Renovated One Bedroom Unit!
The Ilikai Apartment Building (same as the Hotel) is one of Oahu's most popular vacation rental condos. Built in 1964 but constantly being updated and maintained in the common areas, many people including myself cannot believe the building was built over half a century ago. This unit, #1004 offers magnificent ocean views, and 2 pools, and the beach is conveniently away. Many great restaurants are within walking distance including the Food Pantry grocery store for travelers who prefer to cook.

PARKING If you plan on renting a car, we suggest contacting the hotel for the valet parking rates. The last time I checked the parking rates were $45/day. There is also public paid parking along the boat harbor with a rate of $1/hour. If you only need a car for one day, some of our guests have rented a car just for the day from the car rental facilities in Waikiki, but make reservations in advance as they get rented quickly.

Great location. We’ve been coming here for years. It never disappoints
The location and communication with the property manager were great, and having the little kitchen made travelling with kids so much easier. It took us a while to figure out the temperature calibration in the shower, and we were missing a few odds and ends in the kitchen, but overall, we were happy with our stay.

Like the overall location because everything you need and want is in walkable distant. Safe area to be in since it’s mostly tourists there and that it’s beachfront. Easy access to ride share pick up and drop off.
The Condo was clean. We had a Wonderful stay here & would do it again! the balcony had beautiful views of the boat harbor & Ocean.The Sunsets were Spectacular!The Condo does need some updates.Like furniture & pots & pans. But the bed was comfortable for the 2 weeks that we were there.

This place suited our needs, especially for its location. It would have been nice to have a table we could eat at and a dish drainer for drying washed dishes. Also the lanai had of old bird poop on it and we usually like to eat our breakfast out there.
This is a large studio apartment, with the ability to separate the bedroom and living area. It is a little dated, but who cares, it is clean and the location is perfect. The balcony is large and has beautiful views of Marina, ocean and sunset. It is just a short walk to the beach, lagoon, Ala Moana Park and the mall. The little coffee shop on site offers delicious coffee and breakfasts, for those who don’t want to cook. We look forward to return stays here.

The condo had great views of the marina, ocean and beautiful sunsets, easy access from the elevator. Valet parking was convenient but pricey. Great location to the beach, shopping and restaurants. Kitchen was a little small and could use some upgrades and the vents throughout the condo need to be cleaned thoroughly, but does work fine for a short stay. The manager was great, answered any questions via email very promptly.

Was there for business. The hotel is awesome and has a wonderful view and coffee/breakfast place. The room is below par. The wall paper in the bathroom is dirty and stained. The bed is poor and the bedding is even cheaper. Is need of a good deep cleaning. Unfortunately the elevator was broken and i had take the stairs multiple times. The resturante at the roof top is awesome with a wonderful bar menu.

Reviewer Comments:
The property management was easy to deal with. Self check in was easy. Unit was clean. Great location, the view - wow. However, the unit is very outdated. There hasn't been an update in decades. Stained bedding, sheets washed so many times it was it was thin and pilled, no bed skirt. Bed slides around on tile floor. Blue couch had body odor, brown hue. Kitchen cabinets had the smell of old press board due to age, so did the night stands. Stove burners didn't fit right. Cooking was dangerous really. Laughed at the comment in the owner's book asking guests not to hit the walls with their luggage so it doesn't damage the paint. Paint isn't going to fix these problems. 80's wall paper pealing, stained. It's really a shame. It wouldn't take much of an investment to fix these items. Overall feel I paid way too much when looking at similar units in the building. Would not recommend.

We had a lovely 10-night stay in this suite at the Ilikai in October. It was very clean, looked as good as in the photos and was very comfortable for our family of three. The Ilikai is in a great location on the pink trolley line, a short walk to the Ala Moana Center, and also has excellent amenities.

We always stay at Ilikai... the hotel is very clean , lobby is relaxing , great coffee and icecream spot on main floor.We thoroughly enjoy this particular suite mainly for the view. The place is abit outdated ( esp the kitchen) stove from the 70’s but then again, it did work .. especially since we cooked majority of meals in room .Well stocked with utensils/ cooking pots/pans.Bathroom very outdated , shower tiles need to be changed .Our biggest issue was the air conditioner, too small for the unit, very old and has a water tray which we had to empty 2-3 times a day or it would overflow. Overall, it’s truly the view that we enjoyed the most.

Good location. Condo is in desperate need of updates and deep clean. The bed and sheets should be replaced and the stains on the bathroom wallpaper are very off putting. The restaurant at the roof top is fantastic as well as the coffee shop down stairs. Another Waikiki condo relying on the location and view. The elevator was broken a few days and I had to take the stairs 10 flights.

Over the years, I have always enjoyed staying in the condo units of the ILIKAII. Many years ago with my family. I still enjoy have good memories of staying there in the past and I’m very happy to return. The condo I stayed in Nov 17 thru 28, was bright, clean, comfortable.. and best of all ... gave me the southern ocean and courtyard view that I always want.. I prefer staying on a higher floor level , so was happy with the 10th floor. I always feel safe with all aspects of the ILIKAII. It’s so nice to have the easy access to the beach.I would suggest that the condo owner should replace the stove top elements as they are damaged, and unusable. I could not cook on any of the elements. But overall, I totally enjoyed my stay.And very impressed with the professionalism of the management company.Thank you Sachi.Best Regards Kathy
Clean safe/secure building. Stunning view every day, clean new upgraded condo. TV was great-especially during the Olympics, Air conditioner was amazing. We have stayed at the Ilikai numerous times and love it there.Thank you!
Very nice , clean, comfortable, updated apartment. Great location for walking about Waikiki. Host had excellent communication. Enjoyed the view from the balcony. Kitchen equipped with necessary tools for light cooking. My only suggestion is to add basic spices like salt & pepper. Overall I give 5 stars
It reeked like paint first 5 or 6 days but the place was great. Nice design, nice furniture. Everything you need.
