About this property

Steps from Waikiki Beach, the Red Ginger

  • Location is everything!

    The Red Ginger is a compact studio apartment with its own private balcony providing a city view of Waikiki. With historic Waikiki Beach is just outside the hotel lobby, the Red Ginger makes a perfect home base for exploring Honolulu and the rest of Oahu.

    An expansive roof deck on top of the hotel, just one floor above the studio, provides a bird's eye view of Diamond Head. There are lounge chairs for sunbathing and tables for alfresco dining. No one else in Waikiki has a better view of the sun setting into the Pacific. Kapiolani Park is just across the street and offers the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, the Royal Hawaiian Bandstand, tennis courts, soccer fields, archery ranges, weekend art shows and the city's Sunset on the Beach free concerts and movies - all this in its 500 green acres.

    One of the main reasons for coming to Hawaii is of course the sun and sand. Surfing, stand up board paddling, outrigger canoeing, swimming and simply lounging on the beach are all just a few steps from the Red Ginger.

    Hawaii is the crossroads of the Pacific and its culinary offerings reflect that abundantly, so while the Red Ginger Suite has a kitchen and microwave, you are a short walk away from countless cafes and restaurants catering to every taste and price range. Similarly, if you can get yourself out of the water and away from the beach there is a lot of shopping to be done in Waikiki, and the many other shopping venues just a short drive away.

    The Red Ginger is located at the end of Waikiki. Kapahulu Avenue provides easy access to the freeway, and makes getting in and out of the area very easy because you avoid all the traffic in the heart of Waikiki. This is perfect for when you decide to explore the rest that Oahu has to offer.

Clean room with essentials for making simple meals. Amazing view from the Sun deck! Kevin was a very responsive host and accommodating when we needed an additional night. The bed was super comfortable and while the space is small as described it fit our needs perfectly! We would definitely stay here again.

I grew up in Kapahulu and this was the perfect place for my partner and I to stay. It was walking distance to my family home and a great location for Waikiki restaurants and bars. Best of both worlds! Will definitely rent to stay again!

Excellent studio in quieter are of Waikiki

Hidden little gem on the south side of Waikiki. Very clean, everything as listed. Kevin made check-in so easy. The sun deck access on the 10th floor has spectacular views of Diamond Head and any bands playing on Kuhio Beach (I got to see J Boog playing from here, so cool!). 2 minutes to the beach and shopping. Loved it, will plan on staying again in the future!

Red ginger

Older property but very clean. Bed very comfortable. 2 min from beach and a beautiful park. The 10th floor offer the most spectacular view of diamond head and gorgeous sun sets. My only disappointment is the pool. The sun only it’s it a couple hours a day and is open to a restaurant.

A gem of a property!

This property was exactly as described: beach across the street, walkable to shopping and restaurants, inexpensive, tasty mai tais with sunset views at Hula’s on the second floor, and a rooftop deck with unobstructed sunrise views of Diamond Head. Kevin, the owner, was responsive and informative. He also knew we were arriving late and made sure to provide coffee for the morning. We would be happy to stay here again.

Wonderful, wonderful hotel

The location and proximity to the beach is exactly as pictured on the website. The beach is just a few steps away, plus shops and restaurants all around. The neighborhood is busy but the hotel is quite. The kitchen had items that you need as described by the manager. No problem getting inside the room. Very clean and orderly. The 10th floor roof deck view was beyond amazing. I will definitely stay at this same hotel when I get the chance to visit Hawaii again.

The location and view is awesome, the building is quiet, the front desk is helpful with basic needs and directions. The kitchenette is adequate. Unfortunately, we had a cement wall on deck so can’t see anything sitting down. The broom needs replacing if you want floors kept clean, very worn out.

This condo has a medium size fridge with a freezer and a small stove top. There is a balcony with a view of the pool on the ground floor. The location is very good: close to the shops on Kalakaua Avenue and Waikiki Beach, to ABC stores and restaurants. There is a bus station just steps from the condo, which is inside the Waikiki Grand Hotel. When you tell the shuttle driver the name Red Ginger, he is confused, but if you say Waikiki Grand Hotel, he knows.

Nice location for Wikiki Beach

This location is nice, and lots to do without leaving the area. It reminds me of the Vegas Strip in the evening with the number of people and cars on the streets but expected being right across the famous Waikiki beach. The hosts have additional beach items, which was a bonus! We had a car rental so we explored the Island since we like to avoid crowds. The paid parking on location is pricey at $30 a day, but well worth it for the convenience. It’s about an hour from North Shore and 20 mins or so from the airport. Spectacular views from the 10th floor, don't miss it! Overall a great stay and worked well for my husband and I.

Our stay at the Red Ginger Studio

We were met by Jeannie the property manager, who was extremely helpful, and made us feel welcome. The studio was perfect for our short stay and, in our opinion, located in the best part of Waikiki. Due to the small size of the studio, it was equipped with only basic needs, which was understandable. The bed was very comfortable, so we slept well every night. Although a t.v. was available, we did not watch it.We enjoyed the balcony which faced north. We have had balconies facing Diamond Head before, and could never sit outdoors due to the hot sun, whereas, this balcony wasshaded all day,Although there was beach equipment we did not use them, but it was to know they were there for our use.It was nice to know that we could store our luggage at the front desk of the hotel, if we needed on departure.As seasoned travelers, we appreciated the Red Ginger studio, which was reasonably priced for Waikiki. We would stay there again.
