Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel

This is an older and small hotel in the greatest possible location. It is directly across the street from the wall enclosed swimming area at Waikiki beach. The location is what makes this hotel an unbelieveable value. It is at least 30% cheaper (at least in non-covid times) than any other hotel on the beach. That said, this hotel is older and very small. But if you know this going in, it is FANTASTIC. First, the rooms are tiny. The two double beds barely fit. But when yo get to the balcony (lanai) you realize it was all worth it. I paid for the top delux level, which is one of the three rooms directly facing the front of the hotel (it is a round building). My room looked directly athteh beach. I was on teh 13th floor, with a view to love. Every morning I woke to the birds in the incredible banyan tree across the street and surfers catching waves before their days start. Like all hotels in resort locations, they charge a resort fee so they do not have to share all their rate with hotel and travel sites. As long as you know this going in and factor it into the rate, you should be fine as it is still the best deal on the beach. Just be aware of it as it is clear as can be on their site and on hotels . com. You do not get any perks for the resort fee other than use of beach towels and dvd movie rentals for free. The location is right near everything. The breakfast joint in front, Eggs and things, is AMAZING and you get 10% off for being a hotel guest. People line up 30 minutes before it opens, so if you want to get in, be there at least 20 minutes early or you will not get in, its a small place. The staff was great to us, very friendly and helpful with recommendations. OVerall a trully great experience. Its small, a little bit old, but a great place with teh best value.

You can't beat the location! In the heart of Waikiki directly across the big blue ocean and walking distance to everywhere in Waikiki. Great customer service. Only thing to be aware, there is VERY limited parking which is only available 1st come 1st serve, so that may be a challenge if it fills up. Outside of that, wonderful lil gem! We'll definitely be back again!

Whenever I visit Honolulu, I always make sure to book myself at this hotel. It’s in the heart of Waikiki, across the street from breathtaking ocean views, And I friendly staff that is very attentive. Great hotel to stay at!

We absolutely loved this hotel. The price was great and John at the front desk is one of the reasons we will be back to stay again. The location is perfect, our room was clean and updated. We really enjoyed our stay

This is an older, simple hotel. It was clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly. We had an ocean view and sat on our balcony an hour a day watching the surfers. No pool - but did not need. The McDonald’s is next door and open at 6 am - I would go get oatmeal’s, coffee, ice water, and extra biscuit, egg, cheese sausage to take with us as we drove round the island. And - by the way - the McDonald’s was very nice, clean and good quality breakfast food.
