"Formerly a very neglected budget hotel just a block from Waikiki Beach, Bamboo has been transformed into a contemporary "condotel" (a condominium/hotel) with an Asian flair." Full review

When booking, be sure to "reserve" a parking space, because the parking lot has a limited number.

"This budget boutique hotel just one block from Waikiki Beach makes up in convenience (and price) what it lacks in luxury."

"It's a good value and convenient, though the building is a bit worn down." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Step into the stylish lobby of Bamboo and you'll feel soothed. Bamboo is a decent choice, especially if you cop a discount rate." Full review

"Perhaps the hotel’s best feature is its pool area, which is surrounded by bamboo and tropical plants, and is adjacent to the two-room spa." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A smallish hotel offering studios and suites with standard, contemporary island decor; the upper floors of this high-rise have great views."
Star Service
"Located around the corner from Ohanas East and West, in the thick of Waikiki's tumultuous flip-flop-fueled activity, this property is a vibrant boutique-condominium-hotel with a loyal repeat clientele." Full review

Deeply discounted packages make this a great value and a fun alternative to the larger Ohana and Outrigger hotels, but be sure to snag a room facing the relatively tranquil court in back or bring some ear plugs.
Gayot
"This modern, non-smoking hotel offers a chic and stylish retreat from everyday life."
