  • The Waikiki Banyan Towers were built in 1977, they consist of 2 separate towers that share a large common area. It is mainly consider a condominium rather than a Hotel but for most of it's existence the Waikiki Banyan Hotel operated a "pool" of units, most recently under the management of Aston (former Resort Quest).
    All the units are marketed as 1 bedrooms with full kitchens.
    The common areas are those of a condominium but it has a especially spacious amenities area with a pool, jacuzzi, BBQ grills and children playground. It does not have any restaurant or other type of food establishment, only a small Sundry store and Snack bar.
    Like all other hotels in Waikiki, Parking is charged extra. Finally, the front desk is located on the ground floor with very easy access from the street as well as the elevators, no steps or stairs are present.
    Even though this hotel has been maintained regularly, it has not undergone a meaningful renovation for quite some time.

  • This hotel charges a $15 to $25 A DAY of what they call "amenities fee". This is in addition to the $25 to $30 parking fee that you would be charged if you want to park a car. These fees are NOT included in your rate and will be billed to you at the time of check in.
  • If you are booking this hotel because of the supposed privacy that a 1 bedroom unit would provide, be advised that most of these units are not one bedrooms but a large studio with kitchens that are fitted with a oversize 3 part sliding door that separates the unit into a bedroom area and a living room area, even though they are better than a regular studio, they do not provide the privacy that most people seek when looking for a 1 bedroom suite.
  • For some people, the Waikiki Banyan is already somewhat far from the center.
  • This hotel has been through maintenance type renovations regularly to compensate for the wear and tear of a hotel operation but since nothing meaningful has been done to the property, there are some areas that are starting to show the age.
  • Rates are consistently more expensive than comparable units in other hotels in Waikiki.
