Royal Realty in Honolulu, Hawaii

“This is about the 4th different B&B I've stayed at in the Honolulu area, and I did read some reviews already posted and noted the one that mentioned having a nice view of the Turtle Bay area (which is NOT IN THIS downtown LOCATION at all). In this 'worn but good bones' unit the bathroom exhaust fan can make disturbingly loud noises, such that I used it only when showering, otherwise relied on the 'hall' light for brushing teeth, etc. The pre-check-in instructions for the garage exit included a 'tap' gatecard system that had been updated to a flashy attendent-less 'QR' SCAN CODE, which I had to ask the realtor contact for and FINALLY got to use the LAST TWO times of about 10-12 garage exits over my 3-night stay. Different parking company people kept saying things that proved NOT to put me in the system.”

“We had a fantastic stay and would definitely stay here again. The location was extremely convenient, especially with a convenience store right downstairs, and the free parking was a great perk. The host was responsive, accommodating, and quick to help whenever we needed anything. We especially appreciated that they promptly provided a new hairdryer upon request. The Airbnb was also thoughtfully stocked with extra sheets, linens, and bedding, which made the stay feel comfortable and well prepared. We really enjoyed our stay and would gladly recommend this place.”

“The views from this place are absolutely beautiful, and being right by the beach is a big plus. However, cleanliness was a concern during our stay. We found hairs on the towels and bedsheets, and there was quite a bit of sand on the floors and balcony. We were traveling with a toddler, and walking barefoot indoors would quickly make the bottoms of our feet dirty, which was uncomfortable. When we informed the host about the hairs on the towels and sheets, no replacement was offered. One of the snorkel gears provided was also broken. This wasn’t a deal breaker for us, but worth mentioning for future guests. With better attention to cleaning and guest support, this could be a much more comfortable stay given the excellent location and views.”

“Free parking was a huge plus, the laundry room came in handy, and the area itself is very cute, as well as the room it looks just like the pictures”

“It’s an ideal location it’s next to lots of restaurants and bars with a 10min walk to the beach. We certainly enjoyed our stay, if you’re looking for affordability just for a place to shower and sleep I’d definitely recommend”
