I had a great stay at the hotel with exceptionally clean rooms and a nice little kitchenette at no extra charge. However, the lack of curtains on the window made it hard to sleep due to the high clarity. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, although they wanted copies of all visitor identifications, which felt a bit intrusive. Overall, a decent value for money.

I stayed at the Holiday Surf for 9 days on vacation in one of their studio apartments. The hotel offers good amenities like a balcony ensuite, fridge, good bed, good shower, and a/c. The location is convenient for accessing various attractions, but some rooms have impractical window installations that affect comfort.

The rooms were equipped with a balcony ensuite, fridge, good bed, good shower, and a/c. However, some rooms had a weird bed placement in one corner and impractical window installations that could disrupt rest due to blowing directly at the bed or on the floor.

The staff provided great friendly service during my stay, and they were helpful with storing bags when I arrived early. However, there was a situation where the service wasn’t as nice, and the hotel parking was limited, making it challenging to find a spot at times.

Location

The hotel's location is very convenient for exploring the area, with close proximity to the beach, shopping, and accessible bus routes. However, the canal-side positioning may not appeal to everyone, and the noise levels can vary. The neighborhood is lovely and close to Waikiki.

There was the option to have deli meals for breakfast either in the room or at a nearby deli. The variety of meals could be improved, but overall, the dining experience offered home-made local products.
