Aston Waikiki Beach Tower
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Aston Waikiki Beach Tower is worth booking if you want the top-rated property in our Honolulu sample, right on the beach, with balcony views guests rave about. Skip it if the price is a stretch or if spotless housekeeping is non-negotiable.

This is our Luxury pick in Honolulu. It suits couples and families who want a beachfront 5-star stay on Kalakaua Avenue, with a pool, family rooms and views from the balcony.
Travellers on a budget should compare our other two picks, which cost far less. Guests who are very sensitive to cleanliness should note some reports below.
Location and getting around
The address is 2470 Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki. The property lists itself as beachfront. Guests like the central setting near shops, restaurants and trolley stops. The location score is 9.8.
The cultural sights in our data are far on foot. The Honolulu Museum of Art is about 4.1 km away, around 51 minutes. ʻIolani Palace is about 5.1 km, around 64 minutes, and the Bishop Museum about 8.1 km, around 101 minutes. These are straight-line estimates; use public transport or a taxi.
What guests say
The score is 9.4 out of 10 from 806 reviews, joint first of 14 eligible properties in the sample.
Views are a highlight. Guests say the balconies give panoramic outlooks over the ocean, Diamond Head and the sunsets. The location also gets strong praise.
Housekeeping is the weak spot. Most guests find rooms tidy, but some reported dust, sticky floors or stained carpets.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €550.63 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. That is far above the sample median of €211.47. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Listed facilities include beachfront access, a gym, a pool, family rooms, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace. The tags also mention a spa; confirm details and fees. Wi-Fi is not listed in our data, and breakfast information is missing, so check both.
Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani, our Best Value pick, was €320.02 with a score of 9.1. Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki, our Budget pick, was €129.77 with a score of 8.0. You pay about €230 a night more than the Best Value option for beachfront position, balcony views and a 0.3 higher score.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 14 eligible properties in Honolulu. Our Luxury slot prioritises officially rated five-star hotels. Aston Waikiki Beach Tower is one, and its 9.4 was the highest score in the sample.
Beachfront status and a 9.8 location score complete the case.
