Where to stay in Waikiki ~ Waikiki Circle Hotel

Where to stay in Waikiki ~ The Waikiki Circle Hotel 

The Waikiki Circle Hotel General description:

The Waikiki Circle Hotel was built way back in the year 1963. This cylinder-shaped hotel contains 104 rooms totaling 14 floors. By first glance, the Circle Hotel is obviously thought to be quite old not only by the fact that it was built so long ago but it has an old-fashioned architectural design. It is situated in the center of Waikiki across from the beach along the main avenue Kalakaua.

• Without a pool and with a small lobby along with tiny common area, the Waikiki Circle Hotel is consider to be in the one star rating range. Like all hotels in Waikiki, its parking must be separately paid.

What we like about the Waikiki Circle Hotel:

• The Waikiki Circle Hotel is in an excellent location since it is in the center of Waikiki, across the street from the beach, and most importantly along the main avenue Kalakaua.
• What also makes the Waikiki Circle Hotel appealing is the fact that every room has a balcony.

What you may not like about the Waikiki Circle Hotel:

• Since the Waikiki Circle Hotel has been constructed decades ago, disappointingly, the Waikiki Circle Hotel has never really been through a total renovation to keep up with the changing times. Only “maintenance type’ renovations have been done to keep it running.
• The Waikiki Circle Hotel rooms are also fairly small.
• The Waikiki Circle Hotel, unfortunately, does not have any amenities.
• Waikiki Circle Hotel tends to be overpriced for its rating.
• The parking is quite limited and expensive but that is something common in the Waikiki area.
