Steps from Waikiki Beach, the Red Ginger

Location is everything!

The Red Ginger is a compact studio apartment with its own private balcony providing a city view of Waikiki. With historic Waikiki Beach is just outside the hotel lobby, the Red Ginger makes a perfect home base for exploring Honolulu and the rest of Oahu.

An expansive roof deck on top of the hotel, just one floor above the studio, provides a bird's eye view of Diamond Head. There are lounge chairs for sunbathing and tables for alfresco dining. No one else in Waikiki has a better view of the sun setting into the Pacific. Kapiolani Park is just across the street and offers the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, the Royal Hawaiian Bandstand, tennis courts, soccer fields, archery ranges, weekend art shows and the city's Sunset on the Beach free concerts and movies - all this in its 500 green acres.

One of the main reasons for coming to Hawaii is of course the sun and sand. Surfing, stand up board paddling, outrigger canoeing, swimming and simply lounging on the beach are all just a few steps from the Red Ginger.

Hawaii is the crossroads of the Pacific and its culinary offerings reflect that abundantly, so while the Red Ginger Suite has a kitchen and microwave, you are a short walk away from countless cafes and restaurants catering to every taste and price range. Similarly, if you can get yourself out of the water and away from the beach there is a lot of shopping to be done in Waikiki, and the many other shopping venues just a short drive away.

The Red Ginger is located at the end of Waikiki. Kapahulu Avenue provides easy access to the freeway, and makes getting in and out of the area very easy because you avoid all the traffic in the heart of Waikiki. This is perfect for when you decide to explore the rest that Oahu has to offer.

This is a fantastic location and beautiful beachfront. The room (902) was small, but very clean and comfortable and quiet. The kitchen had a fairly large refrigerator and freezer and a two burner stovetop as well as a fullsuze microwave, coffeemaker,utensils, plates and cups and glasses. We slept comfortably each evening after long days enjoying the beautiful beach and otherisland outings. Beautiful breathtaking view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. Lots of food andshopping places nearby.

The Red Ginger is in the best location in Waikiki. If you are looking at the Red Ginger book it. The condo is small but it has everything you need, it is handy to an ABC store and a short walk to a supermarket. The owner was easy to deal with in answering my questions and requests. The site manager is lovely and also easy to deal with. I was fortunate enough to meet her when I arrived at the room.

The property is in an ideal location and the rooftop view is stellar! My host was the best I've ever had, highly communicative, helpful and kind! It is small, but I knew that as it was communicated clearly in the listing and the size was not a problem at all. I highly recommend staying at the Red Ginger!

Everything worked really good with check in, he was also VERY ACCOMMODATING with an extra night when we had a scheduling conflict. The next guests were not due in until after we left with the extension! It is small, but adequate, clean, and comfortable! The convenience was great and the rooftop sunroof was fantastic. Kevin is easy to work with and his room manager was fantastic!

Good location

AC was pathetic and generally did not work. Shower head needed to be replaced, zero water pressure. Need grab bar in tub/shower. Seating at table was horrible, needs to be regular size, not have to climb into seat. Very old, vintage room. no view, beach chairs are for kids only. parking below was good, very expensive. Close to the beach and ABC store for prepared food. No oven or toaster oven in apt.

Our stay at the Red Ginger Studio

We were met by Jeannie the property manager, who was extremely helpful, and made us feel welcome. The studio was perfect for our short stay and, in our opinion, located in the best part of Waikiki. Due to the small size of the studio, it was equipped with only basic needs, which was understandable. The bed was very comfortable, so we slept well every night. Although a t.v. was available, we did not watch it.We enjoyed the balcony which faced north. We have had balconies facing Diamond Head before, and could never sit outdoors due to the hot sun, whereas, this balcony wasshaded all day,Although there was beach equipment we did not use them, but it was to know they were there for our use.It was nice to know that we could store our luggage at the front desk of the hotel, if we needed on departure.As seasoned travelers, we appreciated the Red Ginger studio, which was reasonably priced for Waikiki. We would stay there again.

The location and view is awesome, the building is quiet, the front desk is helpful with basic needs and directions. The kitchenette is adequate. Unfortunately, we had a cement wall on deck so can’t see anything sitting down. The broom needs replacing if you want floors kept clean, very worn out.

Close to the beach. Old, somewhat dirty, and VERY SMALL. Bring your own TP you get three rolls. We ignored other posts indicating a cockroach infestation issue and figured the owner would have fixed the issue, bad idea. When we got home very late, dropped our baggage off in the house. In the morning when we lifted the luggage and back pack we were greeted with a lot of small cockroaches running everywhere. NEVER again!!!

Wonderful, wonderful hotel

The location and proximity to the beach is exactly as pictured on the website. The beach is just a few steps away, plus shops and restaurants all around. The neighborhood is busy but the hotel is quite. The kitchen had items that you need as described by the manager. No problem getting inside the room. Very clean and orderly. The 10th floor roof deck view was beyond amazing. I will definitely stay at this same hotel when I get the chance to visit Hawaii again.
