Went to Fairway Villa 1/28/06 - 2/4/06. Good location (can walk to anywhere in Waikiki) and quiet however, the hallway was dimly lit and creepy. The room itself was not bad but need updating. Bed was comfy. Air conditioner was noisey. Free parking which is hard to come by in Waikiki. Located on the canal, good views from lani. If you are looking for a good location and not a resort or 5 star hotel then this is the place for you.

We stayed at the Fairway Villa from 03/25/05 to 04/01/05. We own a timeshare with vacation internationale and decided to use our points. When we arrived we checked in at the Royal Kuhio, the sister timeshare in the chain. We were given our own parking spot and magnet keys to get in. Fairway villa is located two blocks from Waikiki beach. We were in the center of all the stores and shops in Waikiki. There is nothing fancy about Fairway Villa. It is like an apartment or condo and I believe people actually live there on a permanent basis. The room was VERY clean and roomy. We were on the 19th floor overlooking the canal. We stayed in a one bedroom which included a full kitchen, a living room, a double lanai (balcony) and cable TV. There was a small pool (not heated) on the 29th floor and a small jacuzzi. That was it for ameneties. At least the pool was not busy so we the whole 29th floor and the sun to ourselves. We basically used our room as a "homebase" so when we were tired or "wasted" we just walked the short distance from all the shops and party spots to our room and rested. We were away from all the noise of downtown Waikiki, so that was nice. If you want to have an affordable stay and a condo in the heart of Waikiki, and not looking for resort ameneties, I would recommend Fairway Villa.

I stayed at this hotel with my partner in 2001. The room was a one bed with a rollaway in the living room. The kitchenett had an oven microwave fridge etc. It was clean and the view was great. The small pool is on the roof. The hotel has a porter and is within say 3/4 blocks of the beach area and within easy reach of the zoo and stores/shops.

Only one gipe. We were near the lift which was noisey and took some getting used to .
