Aston Waikiki Joy Hotel

old dirty walls wall paper torn and stained floors to room and elevetor worn and old. If my wife were with me we would not have stayed here. The elevator broke 1 day. I would not recomend this to anyone.

On vacation in paradise so just wanted a clean comfortable place to sleep and this did not disappoint. Only 2 blocks from the beach which was great. Also close to great shopping and resturaunts. Only negatives were that it needs updating and the front desk staff were not overly helpful or friendly.

We enjoyed staying at this hotel. The room was on the small side but adequate as we did not spend much time in it. Breakfast was small but adequate. The staff was outstanding, very helpful, always friendly. Valet service great.

The hotel is very comfortable. The staff is very helpful and frendly. Free continental breakfast is simple but adequate. Kona Coffee is great. The location is great, just 1/2 block from both main streets in Waikik in the middle of the block between then). An easy walk to beach, shopping, restaruants and take-out food. The NFL Pro Bowl block party started right at the end of this street. Great time.

I was there for vacation and the pro bowl and the location was perfect for the Pro bowl festivities! We were right in the heart of it and very close to bars, restaurants and a 5 min walk to the beach as well.

Great location, easy walk to activities and shops. Rooms dated with older stereo and tv. If traveling alone on budget would reccomend if for other reason would pass.

It's very close to Waikiki beach and to the major stores to the tourist attractions. I would recommend this just because of its convenient close point in the map.

Good location, close to shopping, restaurants and 3 blks to the beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms could have been cleaner, bathroom door, end table, walls need a good cleaning. It is an older hotel but if cleaner would have been just fine and a good choice.

The Aston Waikiki Joy has very spacious rooms, including a seating area and a kitchenette. The rooms were very clean, and (given that it's in Waikiki) the additional expenses for valet parking and internet service were reasonable. A very basic continental breakfast is included. Plus, the location is convenient to the beach (short walk) and good shopping. The furnishings in the room are rather dated, and some street noise can occasionally be heard. But overall, the property was very clean and well maintained. Oahu was all we hoped it would be--warm in weather and aloha spirit. We enjoyed snorkeling in Shark's Cove, kayaking to the Mokula Islands, hiking to Manoa Falls, and wandering through the beaches and shops in Waikiki. Unfortunately, we couldn't get tickets to the USS Arizona memorial, but even the Pearl Harbor historical sites visitor center was interesting. Very refreshing vacation spot for December.

I booked a hotel with double beds for a stay-cation in the outskirts of the busy Waikiki district, and although my experience at this hotel was decent without much complaints, there were a couple things that slightly bothered me. The hotel itself is an older boutique style hotel, which is well maintained, and includes a small (& when small I mean tiny) pool, koi pond, and laundry area for the guests. There is also outdoor seating where hotel guests as well as customers from the Japanese style restaurant attached to the hotel can dine. As an added bonus, from 7am to 9am there is also a complimentary continental breakfast for hotel guests, which includes juice, pastries, and fresh coffee. The location of the hotel is excellent, situated on Lewers Street where there are numerous shopping malls and stores, bars, restaurants, and a karaoke room, which is attached to the hotel. Although being in the general area of the nightlife in Waikiki, the area is generally quiet and less crowded. There is also ample paid parking lots around the hotel. My first complaint is that although the man at the front desk is friendly, the security guard is too stern if not hostile, and regarded my friends and I with a suspicious eye. Not that surprising considering we don't look very conservative. He made us feel uncomfortable, if not unwelcome to the hotel. Secondly, the hotel prohibited my friends from visiting my room, and would not let them past the lobby, even if they were to sign in. I understand that there were a total of six people, and there are safety precautions the hotel needs to follow, but it seemed unfair (after all, being a paying guest) to simply deny my guests temporary access to my room. I felt the hotel could do more to accommodate to my wishes as a hotel guest. All in all my stay was generally pleasant as I wasn't looking for a wild night of partying, however slightly disappointed as I was unable to enjoy the company of my friends (I was forced to simply choose two...).
