"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."

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

"Step into the stylish lobby of Bamboo and you'll feel soothed. Bamboo is a decent choice, especially if you cop a discount rate."

"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."
