We stayed at this condo for a week and it worked well for our needs. It was a bit older than I was expecting but everything is well cared for and clean. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to cook in. The floor it is on is really quiet and we rarely heard anything from our neighbors. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay!

We spent a couple nights at the Aston Waikiki Banyan. It's a great location with a very short walk to the beach, shopping and restaurants. The two beds in the bedroom were very comfortable. The pullout couch in the living room is okay for one person, but not as comfortable for two. The sunset views from the deck were a nice bonus.
The only downside is about the building itself. The Banyan is a very large condo with more than 30 floors. During our stay one of the elevators was broken and getting up an down is a bit of a hassle, especially in the mornings. This unit is on the 28th floor, so taking the stairs is not really an option. Also, the parking garage is incredibly cramped and tight. If you're renting a car, I'd recommend getting as small a car as possible if you plan to park here.
Otherwise, I highly recommend this condo. The owner, Dana, was great to deal with and very responsive.

You can't beat the location! So close to Waikiki beaches and shops. The room was as described and it was a bonus to have parking included.

Location was good. Property had 4 plates to eat off of. No bowls with lids to store food in frig salt and pepper shakers didnt even have anything in them! No extra pillows or blankets. Elevators at location did not work hal the time. Whole family had to walk 22 flights of stairs one night to get to out place as again elevators were down.

We stayed for a couple days between flights overseas. It was a great space, very rommy for the area. My family of 4, with 2 large teens fit comfortably. We were even able to do an earlier check-in thanks to quick responses from the owner and sleep off some of the jetlag.

We loved the condo and location. The views were great, looking to the left was a beautiful ocean view and looking to the right was a beautiful city/mountain view. It is very walkable to tons of stuff. I'm so happy we chose this place!!!!

We were in Waikiki for four days to explore the island with our rental car. This was a great homebase with a free parking spot included that was close enough to walk to all of the fun in downtown Waikiki and the beach. Super close to the beach, like one block. Building is a little dated, but plenty of room for a family of four and nice and clean.

Great place for kids, short walk to Waikiki, and jumping off point to explore the island. We had a blast!

Stayed for 3 weeks. The location was great, close to the beach, can see the beach & sunset from the deck. The unit felt safe and clean, the owner communicated well whenever a question, they had beach towel, boogie boards, beach chairs too. Also having a garage parking spot was a big plus.

Very comfy beds, gorgeous view of ocean and mountains, close to Diamond head(short Uber ride). A little noisy due to traffic, sirens and roosters!

Overall great experience. Only blocks from Waikiki beach, access to many shops and restaurants. Parking can be a challenging at times in the garage.

So pleased with this place! There are sliding doors to separate the beds from the living room. Perfect space for family of four! We set up as home base and traveled mostly but walking distance to so many restaurants. Kitchen is a plus for reheating leftovers and making breakfast.
We are leaving behind a toddler booster seat and there is also two boogey boards, an umbrella, and 3 uncomfortable but functional beach chairs. Would 10/10 recommend and stay here again! Only negative has to do with building. The elevators can take awhile on busy days and one was out of service and then another was acting up for a day or two. The pool is strict with their rules of no jumping or even plopping off the side of the edge. Regardless my kids had fun swimming a night or two. The host has been accommodating and responsive. Can’t say enough good things about our magical time on Oahu!

Very well located, walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops.
Wonderful view!

We always stay at the Waikiki Banyan due to its proximity to the beach and parking availability. This condo is the nicest we’ve stayed in, as it was clean, updated, and the beds were comfortable. The only issue with staying in this building are the elevators. This visit was worse than others, as one elevator was down for three days and the building was more crowded than usual due to the holidays.

Great location, just a block off the beach. The View was the selling point. Bathroom lighting wasn't the greatest and lighting in shower was way to dark. Beach chairs, towels and umbrellas were a great touch. I'd definitely stay here again. Loved Everything about Hawaii and recommend this location. Bikes available right outside the Condo. Coffee shop in lobby was AWESOME, as well as the little store next to elevators. Staff was friendly and the pool, hot tub was clean and welcoming. Great dining, massage and adventures near by. Everything's in walking distancebor a quick Uber/Lift ride. The unit is spacious with plenty of room. I wouldn't say this was completely renovated, lamps fixtures were a bit outdated. Shower curtain was a bit to short, water was always on the floor. Regardless I ENJOYED my 60th Bday Stay!

We loved the condo. It's location was great for walking to the beach to see the sunset each night or walk the Waikiki stores. The condo was clean and well equipped. Michalyn even came up with snorkeling equipment for us. She was awesome.
There was only one disappointment. The main bed's mattress is terribly soft and saggy. My husband and I are thin people, but we literally rolled to to the middle of the bed. We left a message with the property manager but received no reply. I ended up sleeping in the extra bed so we could both get sleep. I would not recommend this condo to someone until the mattress is replaced. If replaced, I would stay there again in a heart beat and recommend it highly.

Condo was just exactly as advertised. Very clean and provided necessities to include beach gear. Proximity to beach and shops was all at walking distance. Loved it!

We really enjoyed our quick stay here! We are a family of 4 adults and felt like we had plenty of room. Loved the ocean view, the apartment was clean, had everything we needed, and the free parking was a bonus! Communication with property management was always quick, friendly, and helpful! Jessica, the manager, was awesome!! So nice and extremely helpful!!! Would definitely rent here again!

This condo has a great location within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the beach. The building is quite dated, but the condo is relatively updated. There are a few quirks to it. The main bed isn’t great and slopes to the middle. There also isn’t a dishwasher. More towels would be nice since there isn’t a washer and dryer in the unit. We did enjoy the view of the ocean from the balcony! And free parking is a plus!

Great location. Close to everything, walking distance. Very spacious room. Very clean and well maintained unit. Washer/dryer down the hall, very easy access. Great value for the price. Kids loved it. Would stay here again. Very fast and excellent communication as well.

We saw this unit online, and booked it for two reasons: the fantastic ocean view from the lanai (as seen in the photos) and the building’s location 1 block from the beach. The view and the location were great, and everything else about the rental suited our needs perfectly during our stay.
Our booking and check-in process went smoothly, thanks to excellent communications with the unit manager, Dana. The on-site managers (Banyan Tower 1–4th and 5th floors) were similarly helpful with all our requests.
The kitchen had all the tools and appliances we needed for our two-month stay, and there were plenty of towels too.
The building’s hot tubs and sauna were a nice treat—we used them almost every day. Each floor had a clothes washer/dryer at the end of the hallway. You could download the app or use coins--we were able to exchange dollars for quarters at the office on the 4th floor.
The only negative feedback: the public areas in the building could have been kept cleaner (this might be a temporary post-pandemic staffing issue only).
Overall a fantastic stay! We’ll be back!

Excellent unit. Well equipped. Nice view of both the ocean and the mountains. Practical layout. Will definitely put this place near the top of my options list when returning to Waikiki.
If I have to find one downside I would say the queen bed mattress is starting to sink a bit in the middle. Still managed to sleep well, but others may see it as a bigger issue than us. May be worth considering a new mattress so picky reviewers have absolutely zero reasons to give anything under 5 stars.
10.0
Property was close to beach and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I didn’t realize how busy Waikiki would be so we spent much of our time driving up to the North Shore and other places on the island which was fine because I don’t mind driving. Building and parking was easy to navigate. Would stay again if I ever find myself back on Oahu.

The apartment was perfect for our needs. Compact, yet spacious. The two-way bathroom provided privacy and ready access. The view from the balcony was fabulous. An easy one block walk to the beach. Thoroughly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again.

Thank you. We had a wonderful time staying at this apartment. Easy check in. Great facilities. Beautiful view from the balcony. Car space that comes with the apartment, so no additional cost.

Our stay in this property was great! There are a few things that need fixing which I will communicate to the owner privately, but other than that, the location was fabulous to the beach and heart of the shopping and dining district. The views from the balcony are spectacular! It was a perfect spot for us to stay and explore Honolulu and Oahu!
8.0
Location was great! View from Lania was nice. The unit was clean but was showing wear the beach towels could use to be replaced and some beach chairs would have been great. The building itself was old and in need of an update.
8.0
Definitely a great spot. Clean, beautiful view. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, beach. Everything you need is available. Pots, pans, utensils, trash bags, plenty of towels etc. I added to the collection of buckets and sand instruments for the children. Parking in structure was a bit frustrating. Experienced long waits just to get inside structure. I’m not sure if there was some type of construction going on above our room but that was a bit of a nuisance. Fridge periodically makes some loud noises which may startle whomever is sitting/sleeping on the couch/bed. Overall, my girls and I had a very good experience.
10.0
My family LOVED the condo. Great quiet part of town, tons of stores around (Honolulu cookie company, ABC stores, etc.) Restaurants were easy walks, as was the beach. The balcony views included the ocean, city and mountains. The condo had everything you need, but if you need something else, the onsite mini-mart had supplies in reasonable sizes for your stay. The bigger bed needs a new mattress, but that is our only complaint. Laundry room across from Condo and you can use an app for laundry. Floor 28 renovations are completed and elevators were very fast. I would definitely stay here if we get back to Oahu again.

Condo was clean, in a good location and perfect for a short stay. Not really suitable for longer than3-4 days.

It had everything we needed. The free parking was key to us staying there. My only problem was the mattress on queen bed it was soft and dipped into the middle. The place clean and the office had beach chairs we used. The view was both of the ocean and the mountains which was beautiful.
