Waikiki Monarch Hotel

Very convenient location everything within 15-20 minutes (beach, different restaurants including SubWay, McDonalds, and supermarkets such as Walmart and Don Quijote). No street noise at night just air conditioner, but we turned it off because we have child with us. There is an opportunity to arrange a barbecue near open pool on 6th floor, laundry on 5th floor. The room and the bathroom were clean, it was seen that the walls were painted recently, but old furniture. We had a view of the canal, but every morning we saw a rainbow from the window.

When we were there every day it rained, we did not expect this, so my advice is to look at the weather forecast and also a raincoat, and if you have children, a stroller shield is very useful (when it rains it is difficult to find and buy, especially a stroller's cover protection). The room did not have a safe, a microwave, and a closet where you could hang winter clothes (jackets, boots, travel bags, ets). It turned out that valuables can be left at the reception, and for the whole hotel only one microwave is also located on the 1st floor near the reception. It is very inconvenient when the child wants to eat in the middle of the night. The hotel staff were kind enough to provide us with a microwave since we had a small child. Also they explained that the hotel is in the process of renovation, so the rooms do not yet have new microwaves, and new furniture. The fire alarm also caused inconvenience and great stress when I had to drop everything and run with my child from more than 20 floors by the steps thinking that it was real alarm. Outside the hotel, I saw one man, in one towel it looks like that fire alarm caught him in the shower. Later I found out that they have very strict No smoking policy and a very sensitive fire system, and if it works because of your room, you will be forced to pay a fine.

Great place to stay.
