I had a great time staying here.. nothing fancy, but I loved it.. 5 minute walk to beach and street market, restaurants, shops, and supermarket. The construction outside woke us up early, but I'm sure that's temporary.. Spacious rooms, especiall our 2-bed suite w/ kitchen.. Thanks Harry!

“Wonderful, Elegant, Kind....I can go on and on, Loved the Honolulu Prince!!!”

4/5 found this review helpful

Let's see, we arrived on the 23rd of April...went straight to the hotel to check in, we were greeted kindly. The check in process took minutes and we were up in our room in no time. The room is great, it was large, huge balcony with table and chairs....everything that I needed was there and I was really pleased after a long flight. If you ever come to this hotel, talk to "Isao" wonderful guy, helped me out, treated us very kindly and answered any questions that I had. I wanted to take a trip, sight seeing around Honolulu and he pointed out some great spots, I went there and they were wonderul!! Thanks Isao. Staff is great, room was awesome, I'm well pleased for the price I paid. We had scooters so parking was free, but if you have car you have to pay extra $18 a day. Honoulu parking is horrible all in itself, recommend getting a scooter. It's Fun!...back to Hotel...I'd give it a five star for the price I paid AAA+++. Again, come...enjoy the stay here and you will not regret it. Just dont think it's Hilton top of the line hotel, if that then...yeah, you'll be dissapointed. Aqua Honolulu Prince, I'm deffinetly staying here for my next visit. Thank you staff!!

Aloha Edmond WA,

Thank you for taking the time to post a review on the Honolulu Prince. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and we appreciate your kind comments. You are absolutely right, we are not the Hilton and not even a mid-price hotel. The Honolulu Prince is simply a budget, lite hotel that is ready for its upcoming renovation. The real "beauty" of the hotel is that whether a budget hotel or the upcoming boutique hotel we will be in this next year, the staff remains consistent: friendly, helpful and proud of their hotel, all makings for a feel at home experience.

Mahalo for your review and let us know if you plan to visit in our area again!

Aloha,
Lynette, Kalei & Mike

Aloha Richard,

Wow, we are so very honored by your review, a colleague in the hospitality industry, at the Hilton Hawaiian Village to boot! Mahalo for noticing that although as humble an Aqua Lite Hotel the Honolulu Prince is, you feel the aloha from the TEAM.

Kalei Lyman, Hotel Manager, and I, have managed the hotel for one month now and the blessing for us has been the staff! Their smiles and dedication to the Honolulu Prince, through good times and bad, give Kalei and I the extra incentive to do whatever it takes to guide the hotel to the next level.

An extensive renovation is in the planning and we look forward to sharing the plans with you very shortly as we transition to an Aqua Boutique Hotel!

Mahalo again!

Lynette & Kalei

“Great value, Huge rooms”

AQUA Honolulu Prince

Apr 23, 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

We were really happy with this place. We come to Waikiki a lot, but always on a tight budget. The Prince has a very central location but sometimes it was like no one was home. We were there last week and the place is still run down but everything is clean, rooms are big and everyone is friendly to us. For $76 we got a superior room with a really big lanai and comfy beds.

I would go back again soon.

Aloha ArthurLondon,

Thank you for posting a review on the Aqua Honolulu Prince. Although our hotel is due for a renovation, we appreciate that you recognize that our hotel is clean, the rooms/lanais are good size and the beds are comfortable. Thank you also for noticing that our employees are friendly and always smiling!

The staff is very excited that our new owners are committed to renovate the hotel in the near future. Until then, the team will do our best to deliver what we can control and that is cleanliness and the aloha spirit!

Mahalo again for staying with us! Please let me know if you are planning a future stay. I would be happy to personally make a reservation for you.

Mahalo Nui Loa,
Lynette

“hole in the wall, literally; five star service”

AQUA Honolulu Prince

5 of 5 stars
michigan
Apr 16, 2008
6/6 found this review helpful

I chose this hotel because of its central location and not the reviews on this website. If my choice was based off of that then I wouldn't even consider staying there at the Honolulu Prince. You can pay hundreds of dollars and stay at any hotel in Hawaii that has a pool, ample parking, nice soft beds, and all that other stuff, but all of that is nothing if there is no Aloha. This hotel may not have all that, but you get what you paid for and then some. The service given here by the staff at the honolulu prince is that of a five star hotel. I've seen guests yell at these individuals for things they practically have no control over and yet still be able to keep a smile and help them. I've asked some questions about certain things and although they may not have the answer there and then, but find it for you despite the ringing phone and the other people asking for other things. Walking in from the beach the other day, I was greeted by a staff member using my last name. I had to ask, out of the hundreds of people staying here, how did he know my last name; his reply, "Thats because i checked you in." That was 8 days ago! Granted the hotel needs a huge make over and some parking, but don't be so quick to judge. I am glad I didn't; I enjoyed every single one of my 20 days in honolulu. Thank you so much Sharon, Big Mike, and Harry.

Aloha Kismit,

Thank you very much for sharing your experience of your recent stay at the Aqua Honolulu Prince!

You are right, our Aqua Lite Hotel is simple, no frills and priced right and the beauty our hotel has over the budget competition is our guest service. Our team of employees take ownership of their responsibilities and try their best to take care of the needs of our guests.

Since the new ownership of the hotel and change in hotel management brand to Aqua Hotels and Resorts, we are proud to announce the planning of a future multi-million $ renovation and hotel name change.
We look forward to unveiling more details very soon!

Mahalo again for capturing the spirit of the Aqua Honolulu Prince.
