Waikiki Sunset City & Mountain View with Parking

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first pulled up to this place, I wasn’t expecting much from the name alone – it sounds like one of those generic vacation rental listings, you know? But the Waikiki Sunset actually surprised me in the best way. The building itself has that classic Waikiki vibe without being too flashy, and here’s the thing that’ll make your trip so much easier – they actually have dedicated parking. I mean, if you’ve ever tried to find a parking spot in Waikiki (especially around Kalakaua Avenue), you know this is basically gold.

What really won me over was stepping onto the lanai and seeing both the city lights stretching toward downtown Honolulu and the Ko’olau Mountains rising up behind everything. You get this weird but wonderful contrast where you can watch the sunset paint the mountains purple while the city starts twinkling below. The rooms are solid four-star quality – nothing groundbreaking, but everything works and it’s clean. The air conditioning is actually quiet, which matters more than you’d think when you’re trying to sleep off jet lag. I stayed on the higher floors and barely heard any street noise, though you’ll definitely catch some of the Waikiki energy if you’re facing the city side.

The location puts you right in the thick of things without being on the absolute craziest stretch. You’re maybe a five-minute walk to the beach – not oceanfront, but close enough that you’re not dragging beach gear for miles. There’s a decent ABC Store practically next door for those inevitable forgotten sunscreen runs, and you can hit up some of the better local spots without fighting through the main tourist crush on Kalakaua. The staff seemed to actually know the area well, which is refreshing – they pointed me toward a great poke place that wasn’t on every tourist blog. Check-in was smooth, though like everywhere in Waikiki, things can get a bit hectic during peak season. Overall, it’s one of those places that delivers on the practical stuff while still giving you that Hawaii vacation feeling. The 8.0 rating feels about right – it’s not going to blow your mind, but it’ll definitely make your Waikiki stay a lot more comfortable and convenient than you might expect.

  Free parking and easy access from parking to the elevators. We always found enough parking in the fifth floor.
  The BBQ/Pool area was amazing, we were able to BBQ almost every night.
  The market on the fifth floor was very convenient and prices were good for Hawaii.

  The location and free parking was the bonus. The owner did have a soft small ice chest to take out for the day and beach chairs.
