Aqua Pacific Monarch

Gutes Preis/Leistungs Verhältnis. Gute Lage.

Das Personal ist sehr hilfbereit und das Zimmer wirklich grossartig. Das Hotel ist nur etwa 200 Meter vom Strand entfernt und direkt bei einer Bushaltestelle, bei der man in die eine Richtung direkt zum Diamond Head und in die andere direkt nach Pearl Harbor kommt. Ich begreife einfach nicht, was diese zusätzliche "Ressort"-Gebühr soll; in den Hotelpreis einrechnen und schon gibt es keine Fragezeichen mehr, vorallem wenn man wie ich keine der "Ressort"-Annehmlichkeiten nutzen kann.

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Unser Zimmer war direkt beim Lift, sodass wir ein ständiges Quitschen des Liftes in Kauf nehmen mussten. Das Zimmer war sauber, aber sehr schlecht isoliert, das Badezimmer sehr klein. Ohne Oropax war an Schlaf leider nicht zu denken, da die Fenster sehr lärmdurchlässig waren. Das Schwimmbad oben auf der Terrasse ist ebenfalls nicht wirklich einladend. Die Glasfassade müsste dringend einmal gereinigt werden. Alles in allem würden wir nicht mehr in diesem Hotel logieren. Es gibt einige schönere Hotels gleich in der Nähe.

The hotel is well situated, near shops & restaurants, and just a few minutes walk to the beach. Room was pleasantly large with great water views. The bed was very comfortable & the hotel was possibly one of the quietest I have ever stayed at, despite our room being located near the lifts. Could hear some street noise, but that’s to be expected. The only negative was due to the room being located on a higher level it was generally late in the afternoon before housekeeping tidied the room up, which sometimes was an issue. But all in all we enjoyed our 7 night stay & would definitely stay again.

This hotel is in need of much modernisation throughout. The rooms are old fashioned, dated and tired even by taking into account the traditional Hawaiian theme that many of the hotels in Waikiki seem to aspire to. That being said, my husband and I thoroughly loved our stay here. The room was well equipped with kitchen area and balcony which was great as we could sit on the couch with the patio doors wide open enjoying the tropical breeze and the heat. The pool area was very small but great for sunbathing. The hotel staff were mainly friendly and attentive to our requirements. There are self laundry facilities on site which is handy however the parking garage isn’t owned by the hotel and is expensive and not secure if you chose to have a car while there. The location of the hotel is excellent as it is within about 2 minutes walking distance to the beach and the main shopping street of Kalākaua Avenue. If you’re looking for plush this isn’t the hotel for you but if you’re looking for a reasonable priced clean base to stay then I’d recommend.
