Ok for a one night...
Liked: The price was right for one night and the bed was comfortable enough, but could be replaced. A nice view from our window, and very quiet neighborhood. Clean, and spacious room for two people, and close to downtown and fabulous restaurants. Easy, free parking on site for our rental car.
Disliked: we could not get the room very cool. the split AC unit on the wall was not able to cool down the room, so we kept the windows open (they have screens), but would not stay here again for that alone. fine for one night to crash after a long travel day. the breakfast was long gone by 8am when we went downstairs, the coffee was those K-cup machines (blech). I would not consider this a "bed and breakfast". Instead we drove up the hill to the amazing Waioli Kitchen.

A beautiful, charming house and...
Liked: The property is in a beautiful location and the house had a charming old Hawai’i vibe, very cool.
Disliked: The front door lock was a little finicky but we figured it out no problem.

Quiet, quaint, shabby-chic historic inn...
Liked: It was quiet and the bed was pretty comfortable though definitely needs new pillows and bedding. Great location and view. Very homey feel, large room so not cramped.
Disliked: No coffee on 2nd Floor though was supposed to be available 24/7. Room was pretty warm despite the fan. The smoke alarm had been removed. While I love the historic inn and appreciate the antique vibe, I would suggest replacing some things like very old and stained lampshades, replacing bedding and pillows. Making sure coffee, extra toilet paper etc available. Railing on stairs needed all the way to top. And please remove the lockboxes on the doors if they're not in use.

Disappointing.
Liked: Our room was clean, as were the common facilities. It was close to UH Manoa where our daughter is attending.
Disliked: We stayed at this property in 2021 when it was under different ownership. I was aware that it is an older, historic home with charm. And quirks. There is a serious lack of attention to detail, however, with many things. The towels were worn and mismatched. The Kleenex box was empty in our room. The breakfast was adequate, but lacking the service detail that was there before. Previously we were served at set tables w/ china plates, served brewed tea/coffee (not Keurig from Costco). This breakfast was like something available at Best Western. Not even sure if the fire detector met code. I have included a picture of what was in our room.

Good stay
Liked: I had a very good stay. Good location. Easy to take the bus to Waikiki. Very spacious room!
Disliked: I had no problem with the pool not being operational and there may be locations where the photos are no longer current but I found it unacceptable that this being sent after booking when you can no longer cancel free of charge. So if you do book for the pool, don't do it.

Nice house andf good location.
Liked: The house is classic, so staying in that type of place is a sharp contrast to the high-rises in Waikiki. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We spent two nights and enjoyed the stay.
Disliked: The breakfast was basic. Eggs, bacon/sausage/ham and/or pancakes, some fruit and yogurt. For those of us that have done many B&Bs over the years, the breakfast is the benchmark for a rating, and this one should be considered a work in progress.

A paradise in the making.
Liked: Hidden gem in Manoa Valley with an incredible view across the skyline of Waikiki Beach. Very charming flair. The rooms are mostly clean and the beds are comfortable. Here and there some dust but it somehow fits to the property.
Disliked: It feels like the staff is not so much experienced in the hospitality business. They were all very nice but there is some room for improvement. For example, they make really delicious pancakes (fresh every day!) and then forget to put the syrup on the bar. You'll get it if you ask, of course.
