Vive Hotel Waikiki

Low key gem in the...

Liked: This is an immaculate, well situated hotel a block from the beach and surrounded by restaurants and stores. The breakfast every morning in their lovely main floor living room was great!Rooms are not large, but perfectly sized for even a week’s stay. Housekeeping was excellent. Free beach towels, umbrellas and chairs too and coffee, tea and cold tea and water available all day. This hotel is a wonderful value.
Disliked: Not a thing

Very kind staff

Liked: Excellent service, facilitated an early check in, provided beach paraphernalia to make life a bit easier

Wouldn’t recommend this place to...

Liked: The location was pretty good. A couple of blocks away from the beach.
Disliked: The rooms were small. The beds were small. The air conditioning didn’t work well and when I took the front cover off to see if it was a filter issue, the filter and the air conditioning was so clogged and dirty from months and months without being clean.The vacuuming of the rooms around the edges wasn’t being done. Overall, the cleanliness was pretty average.

Liked: We loved the breakfast buffet, and they provide coffee all day!, the AC in the room was excellent. The service from all of the staff we interacted with was wonderful.The shower had good water pressure, temperature control, and drained well.The sheets and towels were clean and folded nicely. The daily house keeping was always done in the late morning and they did a great job!Also, we were here celebrating our anniversary and we only mentioned this in a passing manner while checking in, they took note and left us a beautiful pair of towel swans and some chocolates in our room with a sweet card.The room was small but the square footage was accurately listed and it felt like well equipped and laid out and gave us appropriate space for our needs.We would absolutely stay here again!
Disliked: The room was functionally well kept, however there were a lot of scuffs, scratches, and chipped paint in the room and the desk lampshade was falling apart. This did not detract from our experience but I do believe that a little touch up paint and swapping out the ragged lampshade would go a long way.The bathroom is small yet efficiently designed, however there are no shelves under the sink which seems like a missed opportunity with how small the countertop is.Lastly, the entrance to the building is underneath several of the in-room AC units, and their condenser water drips down right in front of the door.If they would install a cover and gutter on the awning already in place this would really improve the first impression of the hotel .
