"There is a Club with an half open Dance Floor two floors beneath the apartment. It plays music until 2am 7 days a week. The apartment was not pretty clean (especially in the bathroom) and the aircon needs an upgrade. We left the apartment after one night (instead of 8 nights). Despite this hassle we had to pay, for the one night fee, the cleaning and the VRBO / FeWo-Fee. "

What is a historic hotel like in Waikiki?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place recognised with a national historic designation.

What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the physical building and architecture. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.

In Waikiki, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
