Aqua Bamboo Waikiki

The location is great however it is on a very busy street. This is good for bus service to go somewhere, but bad when there is a convertible driving by at 2 am with radio blasting. We asked for and got a change of rooms to a floor higher and farther from street noise. This cut down the noise quite a bit and I was much happier. If you stay there, I recommend asking for a room on as high a floor as possible. Nice pool and amenities. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Parking is very cramped. Difficult to get in and out of tight spaces.

Room # 1106 - Booked a King size got a queen, Needed a good cleaning (walls were filthy) and a lot of updating (carpet was from the 70s). Air conditioner was extremely loud, dirty and corroding away, it did however drown out all the noise from the street. Patio doors do not roll any more so you needed to pull hard. Phone did not work at all, TV had a few channels and did not have a very good picture quality.Staff was good, responsive, helpful and accommodating. Lobby was nice. Pool area was nice but also needs some updating and cleaning.

From my arrival I was very happy with the young lady in reception was very welcoming and helpful. The housekeeping staff were also kind and considerate .

Let's face it, the Aqua Bamboo needs an overhaul. The little air conditioner was so loud, I thought it was going to take off and fly around the room. The trim and caulking all need to be replaced. The bathroom faucets leak. The vanity faucet is ridiculously misfit (a giant, hooked faucet that ended at the front of the sink, not in the middle). The drain in the shower backed up, so I had to take a shower in inches of pooled water. Parking is expensive and difficult. I had to have my girlfriend get out of our vehicle and guide me into the space, which was so small and circumscribed by pillars and other objects. The external balcony faces the external balcony of the renters across the way (just several feet away), and so privacy there is non-existent). No exercise room, and nowhere to workout nearby. No breakfast (coffee is good, though). There are some cool things. You can rent free movies and play them in the Play Station in the room. The location was convenient for me. There is a nice pool area. We had a kitchenette that comes with a "suite," but this suite has two double beds, so if you have a sleeping partner, brace yourself for cover fights and edge-of-bed perils.

We upgraded to a suite with private balcony w/bbq...it was awesome! Everyone that worked there was incredibly nice and helpful. The location was great short walk to the beach and Dukes bar & grill (perfect spot for sunset & live music). The only issue was the ac did not work very well & it was hard to sleep with out it.
