We booked directly on their website after seeing the many high reviews and the nice colorful pictures of the boutique hotel and the reasonable prices. We got the 21st story junior suite (slightly on the small side) which had great views, a large bathroom with a desk, closet, cable TV and 2 ACs with remote and a comfortable bed and blankets. The hotel is nice and quiet and the location is awesome right in the middle of Waikiki and a block from the beach. Gym passes at the smallish hotel gym close by were available for $15.

The front desk really deserve praise. Amy was super friendly and thorough explaining the hotel accommodations, free breakfast, events, etc. (They even sent a custom graduation congrats email- so thoughtful!).

Breakfast is free and a very nice assortment of fresh fruits, pastries and eggs that changes slightly daily. Coffee and tea available always. The seating is in the lobby where there's chic decoration and comfortable seating on couches (though the tables were on the tiny side). We came in December and the hotel felt very warm and festive. Overall and excellent value and very happy with Vive hotel.
