Stayed 16 days, Room smelled bad upon arrival and until it was cleaned on day 13. We were told to leave patio door open and air conditioner on to get rid of smell, but it stayed until room was cleaned. Even though we asked twice for the room to be cleaned, it was not until I spoke to the manager it was cleaned on the 3rd request. Location to beach is the best part. They will give you fresh towels and other supplies at front desk when you ask, but not having our room cleaned for so long was an issue for us. Place needs updating. Beds are not comfortable and pillows are flat. We will not stay again.

So glad I stumbled onto this place. Close to the beach, friendly staff. Pool/hottub area was very romantic, with couches, tables, lounge chairs. There is a fabulous restaurant, with great food & staff. The hotel has beach towels & beach chairs, at no cost, to take to the beach. I just can't say enough good things about this place.

Good location and ok hotel overall when you know what to expect. Room was clean and seemed to be renovated lightly recently. Downside was a weird smell that you got used to very quickly. There is no room cleaning service inclided. Good value for money.

We stayed 4 nights everything was so close easy walking to everything! The restaurant was closed first night no cook? The second night we couldn't get a drink at bar while in pool no license? They did allow you to bring your own drinks in. Staff very nice.

I had a wonderful experience during my week at the Bamboo Waikiki hotel. I was one block from the beach, bus service is everywhere in Waikiki for those that do not want to get a rental car. The zoo, aquarium and Diamond head road are with easy walking distance.The hotel was clean and the staff was always available for coffee refills, beach towels and day to day supplies. My room was very clean and functional, the lanai (balcony) had views of the beach as well as various neighboring streets. Air conditioning and TV were new and modern. I can find nothing lacking at this accommodation and give a full thumbs up to anyone considering this hotel for a vacation stay.

The property was older but had a cozy, personal feel to it. They served some really great food out by the small pool, but with no liquor license it was byob.

Although I did enjoy the 1 bedroom suite the bed was super comfortable! However, The lady at the desk seem to be prejudice and did not want to assist. I arrived early and was extremely tired and just in the lobby while watching other guests be attended too with a smile. When we got to the room after this disappointing experience the disappointment continued the curtains and walls were not clean.

Location is great but surrounding buildings abandoned. Homeless people around.

The single bed is my room was a twin size bed at best, not a queen or king. You have to give the front desk more than 24 hours notice to get your room cleaned even though they charge you extra for cleaning up on arrival. Otherwise, nice little place, cheap, little parking on site but right in the heart of the shopping and activity. I liked it.

We had been looking forward to this trip for years and planning it for over 8 months. 1. When we checked in the room was nothing like the picture and the smell was overwhelming musty. After airing it out it went away but came back every time we left and came back. 36 hours after check in we were moved and after looking at 2 options were finally offered the room we paid for. 2.Also we had to pay a cleaning fee of almost $300 on top of the nightly room rate we had already paid and have never encounter this at any other hotel and have stayed in 3 other hotels in the past year.

Room was not cleaned on a daily basis, there ws no emptying of trash or collection of used towels. Trash and towels had to be taken downstairs.. Had to request
room be cleaned, room was cleaned 1 day of 6 night stay. After 3rd day and complaints, clean towels were brought and left at door in hallway. Beds were not made up other than the one day and used towels were never collected. This practice was not revealed to us until a question about why the room had not been cleaned and towels and trash removed. This information was not on the website through travelociity and/or Bamboo Waikiki Hotel. The room was run more like an apartment whereby the tenants clean their own rooms disposing of trash and addressing their own towel issue. Totally unacceptable. Having no other viable choices we stayed.

When booking flight, it showed parking was included. When we arrived to check in, not only did we find out it was not included but you had to pay for every day and that parking was full and not available. Was made to look around offsite for parking. Terrible.

Didn't have any heavy issues with the property. In walking distance to a lot of big shopping areas. Cleanliness if the room was ok until we found a roach the size of my entire thumb behind the tv stand. Very unfortunate.

Very nice and close to everything. Definitely would stay here again.

The pool area was great but the room had a lot of wear and tear. Needs better appliances in the Kitchen, toaster only toasted on one side.
Great location but for the price charged they need to look at upgrading some parts of the room. But overall enjoyed my stay as I always do in Oahu.

Room was clean, modern, and comfortable! Stayed in a partial ocean view room with a kitchenette and it was great. As for the hotel lobby, elevators, and hallways, definitely needs work. Not only dated looking, but also not the cleanest. Needs a deep clean. BUT, the room was clean, which was the most important to me. As long as I had a nice place to crash after being out all day, I was fine with it
3.0
The staff was great, just the property itself is a bit older and run down. Different rooms have different standards for cleanliness and decor as some are privately owned condos so be aware of that when booking

For the price, wasn’t worth it. Like staying in a motel, no room service unless you schedule it and they don’t work weekends

Overall 4 stars, just because we’re not extra. We used the same sheets and towels the 7 nights we were there. Would’ve liked for them to be changed once. Parking is limited to about 10 spots below deck. If you’re the last car to be in on at night, it’s almost impossible to get into that last spot. It was very tight. Many times beach towels weren’t available. One elevator was down the whole time we were there while the other one was intermittently out. Emergency stairs were steep and narrow. The facility did have a nice pool with a hot tub and several straw roof cabanas with plenty of sitting. We never got a chance to used it. The pool was closed by the time we get back to the hotel in the evening. Our room did come with a small kitchen so we were able to cook some meals.

The Bamboo Waikiki Hotel was a good fit for our family. The rooms are large and comfortable, the pool and hot tub are nice and the location is unbeatable.
For people considering staying here, one thing to know is that the hotel doesn't provide cleaning service for stays under seven days. That means you constantly have to be asking the front desk for shampoo, soap, toilet paper and fresh towels, plus taking out your own garbage and asking to borrow a broom to sweep.
We are a family of five, and when we would ask for things, say shampoo, the attendant would always want to hand us just one little travel-sized bottle. We would insist and more and they would provide it.
Overall, this was a good place to stay and I would recommend it to other families.

Our room smelt like the sewer with the ac. Bathroom shower drains makes noises. When we checked in we’d asked for parking and they didn’t have any until the next guests leaves, parking is very small and tight
4.0
Good location, near shops, beach and main part of Waikiki. Room basic, but sufficient, as reflected in price. Had laundry, pool etc all in good working order. Two quibbles, one that house keeping didn’t clean the room, after we made a booking to have it cleaned. Also when we had our towels refreshed there was no bathmat, or face towels. Would recommended for family or couple looking for longer stay.

Great hotel only issue we had was we had to take the stairs a couple times and we was on the 6th floor because of the elevator but other then that it was a great place to stay, staff was great!

The location of the hotel is in a great spot to walk to the beach or the Waikiki Strip. But if you walk one way you’re going through a bunch of homeless people and condemned businesses. If you go the other way, it’s thriving businesses and local shops. Make sure you pick the right way. Also, there is a cleaning fee That I was unaware of that must be paid upon check-in with no maid service at all for your room. You have to take your own garbage out, bring your own dirty towels down, make your own bed and go downstairs to pick up any extra garbage bags, toiletries, clean towels, extra blankets and anything else u require.I was honestly pretty disappointed by this. I don’t mind if my beds not made but I definitely would like a clean towel change at least once in my stay. The staff were friendly enough, but it was very obvious that they had been asked the same questions about the maid service, and it was beginning to become a nuisance on them as well.
What once was a cute eclectic hotel off the strip is now a rundown motel feeling.

There was not any maid service so you had to "order" clean towels but did not know this when we arrived. No clean towels day two. After ordering new towels for day three we were shorted and they told us they ran out. What?? Only 10 parking spaces or so on property so we had to park 2 blocks down. No free parking on site either. Room was clean and neat just crazy no maid service.
