Waikiki Grand Hotel

• The Waikiki Grand Hotel was originally built in 1963. It has 9 floors and 173 units that are rented either as vacation rentals or are part of the hotel pool.
  The Waikiki Grand Hotel  is located a short stroll away from the beach, on Kapahulu Avenue which is consider the eastern end limit of Waikiki, across the street form the Honolulu Zoo.
  The Waikiki Grand Hotel has a small swimming pool and limited other common amenities. The hotel is also home, on the second floor, to “Hulas” one of the best known Gay and Lesbian bars in the State of Hawaii.
• Parking is very limited and expensive. There is however some free street parking on the opposite side of the Honolulu Zoo, on Monsarrat Ave. 

What we like about the Waikiki Grand Hotel:

• This is a low end hotel that is very close to the beach, which is something that is not common, just make sure that you do not overpay since it is only a one star rating.
• If you need to be on the far East side of Waikiki, the Waikiki Grand Hotel is across the street from the Honolulu Zoo and half a block from the beach.

What you may not like about the Waikiki Grand Hotel:

• Small size of the pool can be a problem if you are coming with children.
• The Rooms at the Waikiki Grand Hotel tend to be really small.
• Like all hotels in Waikiki, the Waikiki Grand Hotel parking is extra and in the case of this hotel is also VERY limited. If you are planning to stay in this hotel you may want to rethink that car rental since parking is on a first come first serve basis (cannot be reserved).
