Hotels in Waikiki, Honolulu

The sea-view room offers a fantastic view directly overlooking the harbor. The room itself is very spacious. Aside from the slightly old hairdryer, all other hotel facilities are excellent. It's also within walking distance to the shopping mall. Highly recommended for travelers.

It's not a new building. It felt like staying at my grandma's house. There was some black mold in the bathtub and the pillow smelled a bit (though my nose might just be too sensitive). It wasn't unhygienic, but don't expect a new, sparkling clean room. They lent me a kettle and pool towels, which was nice. The staff were very good. The location is excellent for swimming as the sea is very close. The best part is the cost-performance. For this price, with breakfast, partial ocean view, and in a good location, it's fantastic. The food was delicious every day! I especially liked the miso soup and the three kinds of fruit. Even on the day of the typhoon when the power went out, they still let us have the buffet and eat in our rooms!

This is a beautiful and spacious hotel, and I stayed for three nights. One unique feature is that the rooms provide individual branded water bottles (resembling thermoses) that guests need to fill themselves. There are special built-in water dispensers on the 1st and 8th floors. Also on the 8th floor, there's a laundry room, costing $4.50 per wash or dry cycle, which is very convenient! However, you can't buy laundry pods there; you need to bring your own. On the same floor, there's a garden – an exit to a spacious balcony with plants and seating areas. And, of course, an infinity pool. Sun loungers are next to the pool, and towels are provided right there. There's also a bar by the pool. The rooms are spacious, with panoramic windows and automatic blackout curtains. There's a coffee machine and a kettle (capsules and tea bags are also provided). For the beach, the hotel provides branded bags with towels, which can be exchanged daily. Getting to the beach isn't so much far as it is a bit of a walk, about 9-10 minutes on foot, because you have to walk around some things. There's also a bakery at the hotel, open from 6:30 AM to 11:30 AM, and there's always a long queue from the street in the mornings! I really liked the hotel – highly recommend it! ✅👍🏻

Didn't have breakfast at the hotel, so I can't comment on that. However, the location is very convenient—step outside and you're right on the beach, and the surrounding area is quite lively with everything you need. It wasn't mind-blowing, but not bad either, I'd say.

Pros: The room's balcony experience was great; the balcony had UV-protective and heat-insulating film. The door lock felt secure. The overall hotel environment and cleanliness were acceptable. The front desk service was friendly, and the ambassador proactively helped with luggage and was very welcoming. Serious Issues (Women guests, please be extremely cautious about privacy and safety): There are major lapses in hotel management, with complete disregard for guest privacy. There is no landline in the hotel room, and the front desk did not call to notify me before arranging for a male ambassador to vigorously knock on my door and then use a card to open it. I was sleeping at the time and was very startled. Less than five minutes later, housekeeping staff again used a card to open the door directly. Having unauthorized entry into my room twice in a row was an extremely poor experience. Used beach towels also had to be brought back to the room as there was no collection point downstairs, which was very inconvenient. The pool was small (not a major issue), and the water quality was very mediocre, making me not want to swim. While the hardware and service attitude were acceptable, there are clear loopholes in room safety management, posing a high risk for guests.

This was my first trip to Hawaii, and I'm so glad I chose this hotel! It's super convenient – the trolley stop is right in front of the hotel, and the beach is just across the street. It was perfect for getting anywhere we wanted to go. I thought I had booked a room with a view of both the beach and Diamond Head, but it turned out to be an oceanfront room on the 10th floor. The view was absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. I did notice the walls seemed a bit thin. At night, we could clearly hear loud music from the room next door and a baby crying, haha. I guess it probably varies from room to room. The complimentary water server and free beach towel service were really handy! Plus, there were plenty of souvenir shops, a gelato place, and cafes, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

We loved our stay here for two nights. Having a balcony was a wonderful addition as well as the free coffee and free activities offered on Fridays. It is a short walk to major shops and restaurants and very convenient walking distance to the beach park where you can view the Hilton fireworks. The room was clean and spacious, the front desk was very kind and helpful. I needed to return a package before I left the US and they were very kind of help me print the return label and offer tape to attach it. There are also microwaves on the 9th and 15th floor for guests to use.

I highly recommend this hotel. Considering the price, I was extremely satisfied with everything except the age of the building. I stayed here for several consecutive nights on a business trip, and the front desk staff were always friendly and welcoming. Although the rooms are a bit dated, they were very clean, and the housekeeping service—including bed-making and towel replacement—was impeccable. My stay was comfortable every single day. For this price, the location and level of hospitality were outstanding. I was genuinely impressed. There was complimentary coffee available at the front desk, and although the smoking area was nearby, there was absolutely no smell in the hotel. As a smoker, I really appreciated that. The room came with four soft pillows, and the shower worked perfectly fine. There were also plenty of souvenirs available, which made me wonder how they can offer all of this at such a reasonable price. Now for a little rant. I accidentally packed a jar of jam that the hotel staff had kindly given me in my carry-on luggage at the airport. A particularly unpleasant security officer confiscated it, saying that gel-like substances were not allowed. All I can do is hope that person didn’t end up helping themselves to it. The hotel was flawless. My only grievance is with the guy at the airport security checkpoint. I would absolutely love to stay here again on my next business trip.

Fabulous boutique hotel. Thought of all the little things to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Staff were very polite and friendly. Great shower pressure, bed was comfortable and air con fantastic. We had a room on the 3rd floor and unfortunately we could smell one of the burger restaurants frying food each morning, which was not pleasant. Not the hotels fault, but it’s something to bear in mind if you’re given a lower floor. Rooftop pool is small but a nice extra if you don’t fancy the beach. Close to everything; restaurants, shops, beach. Would definitely stay again!
