Hotels in Waikiki, Honolulu

This hotel was incredibly clean and spacious – absolutely fantastic! The service was excellent, and it felt as pristine as a hotel in Japan. The staff were also very accommodating.

I stayed on the back side of the building so I couldn't see the scenery. But above all, the comfort of the room and the location are the best! The kitchen utensils were perfectly prepared and helpful. Cleaning is not included, but you can contact the towel. The correspondence of the staff is also very good! I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

Staying in Hawaii, this hotel near Waikiki Beach and Kalakaua Avenue is beautiful and great for shopping. In Hawaii, definitely splurge on an ocean-view room – don't be stingy! At Halepuna, you get a complimentary reusable water bottle and slippers. You don't even need to bring your own toiletries; just ask, and they'll send them up. Plus, it's connected to Halekulani for breakfast, and you can charge it to your room. I have to say, Trip.com was amazing this time! My flight arrived early at just past 9 AM, and I had requested an early check-in through Trip.com the day before. By 10:30 AM, my room was already ready. The service was absolutely fantastic!

The location, the environment are very good, the room is very good, big, very comfortable, there are two beds, the sofa can also sleep, the room has a refrigerator, oven, microwave, washing machine, dryer, etc., the tableware is complete, we have breakfast The room is solved, the children like it, it is suitable for family and children.

I have no complaints at all - this might be the perfect resort at this price point. Check-in was smooth, the rooms are excellent (albeit maybe a bit on the small side for three persons, and we did miss not having a barhtub), the view excellent (description said “ocean view” and it was better than expected, even from the Pacific Tower), restaurants both great. The location is perfect, just a few min walk from the Royal Hawaiian Center; and the hotel has its own /small/ beach with really a good view of the sunset. Big shoutout to the very friendly staff at Monkeypod Kitchen as well as the poolside Towel Hut! Would revisit without a doubt!

Close to the bus stop and quiet without noisy restaurants around. There is a pool right next to the front desk, and it seems that exercise events are also held. There was a guitar and a song performance at night, and the atmosphere was very good. I was a little worried that I could see it. The hot water in the shower felt a little lukewarm, but it is acceptable because it is not water because it is common overseas. I didn't have a chair in the room, so I put the chair on the balcony inside and sat. There is no toothbrush in the amenities. There is no pot or PET bottle water, but there is a water and hot water server on the first floor (I bring a mobile pot so there is no problem) I was free to drink coffee and tea in the morning. The hotel in Waikiki is very expensive, so it is beautiful and the staff is friendly and the Waikiki Shopping Plaza is within walking distance.

During check-in, the staff mocked my lack of English, laughing and making gestures at other staff members, which I found unpleasant. While all explanations were in English, the departure was in Japanese, so I assumed they understood everything. Upon check-out, I was surprised to see a payment of $1,347.40. After returning home, I called Trip.com and they handled the matter, refunding me $1,030.61. However, they had deducted a $316.79 service charge and other charges that were not included in my travel application. The hotel only sent me a receipt by email, with no apology. The staff member who checked me in and checked me out was the same, so I assumed they knew I didn't speak English before making the payment. It was a shame that my trip was so frustratingly disrupted by the hotel's front desk service.

This was a wonderful hotel! I think it offers great value for money. First off, the room was a two-room suite with a separate living room and bedroom. The two double beds were spacious and comfortable. The mini-kitchen had a sink, kettle, microwave, and refrigerator. The bathroom had a standard American-style shower and a shallow bathtub. Toothbrushes were not provided. The breakfast menu didn't change much day-to-day, but the custom-made omelets were delicious. It can get a bit crowded around 9 AM on weekends, but it's manageable. During happy hour in the evening, guests received two complimentary alcoholic drinks per person per day. Two of the cocktails could also be made non-alcoholic. In addition, there was a free drink bar and snacks (crackers and vegetables like cucumbers and celery), which were perfect for a light bite. We were also allowed to bring our own food, so we often enjoyed takeout from nearby while sipping our happy hour drinks. The happy hour and breakfast venue is the same, located poolside. This would be great for families with children, as they can enjoy the pool while taking advantage of happy hour. They also provide beach towels by the poolside for guests heading to the beach or pool. Incidentally, we arrived at the hotel before noon this time, having taken an ANA flight. We were able to check in early without an early check-in fee! (Perhaps because it was off-peak season?) This was incredibly helpful as we were sleep-deprived. Waikiki Beach is about a 5-minute walk through the Sheraton. It felt a bit confusing to find at first, but once we got used to it, it was no problem. The nearest W LINE bus stop is just over a 5-minute walk away. It's a minor detail but wasn't an issue. Right in front of the hotel is an ABC STORE DELI, which operates from 6:30 AM to 11:00 PM and also serves fast food, making it very convenient. Although our room wasn't ocean view, we could see the ocean from the outdoor stairwells on each floor, which was lovely. Ultimately, since we spent most of our time in the hotel either sleeping or at night, I don't think an ocean view was essential, haha. The balcony was nice for getting some fresh air. There's a water dispenser on the first floor, which is convenient for refilling water anytime. Each floor also has an ice dispenser and vending machines. If I had to pick a con, it would be that the elevators sometimes took a while to arrive. I highly recommend this hotel for families due to the spacious rooms! The value for money was excellent, so I encourage you to stay here.

For our recent trip to Hawaii, we chose the Poolside Suite at Wayfinder Waikiki — and it was such a great choice. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated in a tropical, laid-back style, and had direct access to the pool right from the terrace. It honestly felt like our own private villa! The pool area is small but super stylish and peaceful — perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee. ☕️ The staff were all incredibly friendly, and the whole vibe of the hotel felt very local and welcoming. One thing to note: it’s a little bit of a walk from the main strip of Waikiki, but that also means it’s quieter and more relaxing. If you’re looking to enjoy both the beach and a cool hotel experience, this is a great place to stay!
