Best part of the hotel is the big (>600 sq ft) rooms with nice bathrooms Great for us with a baby They also provided a pack n play

We did a couple free activities, yoga and lei making, which were fun Hotel is walking distance (<10 minutes) to Waikiki Beach and the even better Fort Derussy Beach It's also right next to lots of shopping, some convenient and reasonably priced food (Subway, Starbucks), a Gelato place, plus some nice restaurants (Castro's breakfast and lunch, plus a couple American restaurants we didn't try) Most anything on the to-do list for Waikiki is within walking distance Rental cars are expensive, and no free parking according to Priceline so we used Lyft/Uber during our trip Rides to the airport can be over $100 in the afternoon, though, so be flexible

Niki Lever

Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable The valet was amazing So responsive and helpful

Our room was immaculate was was the entire facility I loved the pool Just enough to cool off after a day of exploring Excellent views from the rooftop patio!Excellent location

Brandi O’Neal

This hotel is fine, but it’s nothing special We chose this place because it was relatively inexpensive and could sleep two adults and two children, but the couch bed is the single most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on The balcony is too small to enjoy which doesn’t really matter since the view from it is another buildingIt has pros, though

It has a free washer and dryer You can walk to Waikiki beach in ten minutes There are plenty of restaurants and stores nearby including a Starbucks right next door It has a place to cook as well as pots and pans and dishes The bathroom is very big compared to the room and is the nicest part I loved the rain shower It also has a bidet and a TV in the mirror in the bathroomThe roof has a shallow, small pool, a bar, and a projector Some of the seating area was closed off You can’t see the Friday night fireworks from their roof, so it’s best to go to the beach and watchThe turn in was hard to find, and you can’t get in touch with anyone if you call after hours So you know, there’s a garage under the building before you get to it on the right on Kalakaua Ave

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Marine Surf Waikiki It was the perfect size for our family of four for our one week stay We really enjoyed the location

It was about a 5 minute walk to Waikiki beach and just minutes from several different places to eat The free parking was an incredible plus in a place where parking can be difficult to find In addition to the kitchenette, we enjoyed the extra perks of having beach towels, beach chairs, and a boogie board If we didn’t feel like going to the beach, the pool was a nice option The kitchen was nicely stocked with the necessities to prepare meals in the room if you don’t feel like going out Although it is right in the city on a busy street, we couldn’t hear any noise inside our room The check in and out process was simple Our flight was delayed 6 hours and we still got in with no problems My texts were responded to in a very timely manner The ONLY issue we had was the shower was not as warm as we would like at times

David Heath

This place was AMAZING! 10 min walk to Waikiki beach and a steal of a deal! Immaculately clean and they thought of everything! Check-in/check-out instructions were crystal clear and easy to follow Niko was great to work with and put finishing touches on the place that gave it a personal feel Absolutely perfect

I would happily come back here and recommend it to my loved ones!

JC Holcomb

The rooms are so so They don’t do room cleaning unless you pay for it, however you can exchange towels and such at the front desk The staff is great and very helpful

The location is at the far end of Waikiki, really good for families (proximity to zoo/beach/aquarium) If you’re looking for night life, most of it will be a half mile walk, doable but there are better places to stay for that The assigned parking is nice if want to pay for it

German R (Elegate)

To Roxy thank you very much for your hospitality and for going above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable one The location is great I liked it The prices are pretty competitive and parking is not too bad

Word of advice if you have a rental please call the hotel in advance so they can reserve a spot for you On the second floor they have a bar, Hula’s Bar & Lei Stand, which does gives a nice view of the Diamond Head The next time I go to Honolulu the Waikiki Grand Hotel is most definitely the first spot I’ll check out

Ying Li

My conclusion on this place: 1) You got what you paid for 2) I would not recommend this place 3) Location was the only good thing

Reasoning: 1) the whole shower set broke, cant shower at all Front desk personnel was not willing to change room (allow me to go to another room to shower) until the Wi-Fi was not working in that room 2) front desk personnel seems busy all the time, no patient with attitude Made a big deal of getting a blanket and bringing back a blanket

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel, the staff are all very helpful and nice, there are some surf boards for rent and some beach equipment you can use as well The kitchen I didn’t really used but look okay, maybe a little messy The rooms and bathrooms were clean and beds were comfortable

The whole vibe was good and there was a big range in ages of people staying there Really good location

Llorenç Antón

The hostel is really good They clean every day everything The kitchen can be better but if you don’t need a lot is enough for cook

There is a chill area with hammocks The stuff is nice and they try to help us every moment If you are travelling alone is not a problem, there is friendly people, is not difficult to make friends and join them with some adventure

karrie Weddle (Sylestia)

Never done a hostel before, but had a semi-private room You go through a dorm to get to it and you shared the same bathroom with the dorm, but you had a separate locking door The semi-private room had a ceiling fan

It’s no frills, you get a place to sleep and some towels to take a shower Bed wasn’t the best Great for people on the go All the rooms were on the 2nd and 3rd floors, no elevator My cruise luggage for the remainder of the trip was a bit much They did have a storage room if you needed a safe place to keep your stuff after check out

I fly to Hawaii every year for my birthday, and this was one of my favorite stays! The best part of this hotel is the pool area The bartenders and servers are so much fun and so polite! They made my birthday trip here amazing, I truly do miss them! The hotel itself is located in a prime location and the rooms are nice The food here is great too! If you want a beach/pool day and don’t really feel like going anywhere you can honestly assure that you’ll have great food, drinks and service right at your hotel, plus there’s a small beach a short walk right behind the pool

I Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re going to be in Honolulu and I hope to return this year for my birthday when I come back

Mark Oliva

Everything is good The room size is above average The pools are clean and all amenities are good

The staff are courteous and requests for linen and other essentials were taken care of immediately Parking is not a problem Request a room that has a view of the lagoon so you can watch the fireworks on your room I only gave 3 stars because of the policy that they do not clean the rooms when requested I understand not cleaning daily but if requested, they should clean the room

Chelsea Jones

This was my first stay at the Modern and it was extremely disappointing and nothing special Without prior knowledge, on arrival we were told that there is no room cleaning and we have to ask for fresh towels and other room amenities when we need them, including putting our garbage outside the room Firstly, we are not in quarantine so I don’t know why this is the case and secondly it is not hygienic or pleasant to have used towels and garbage lying around every floor of the hotel corridors

The staff at the hotel are extremely slow at actioning requests When asking for towels, I waited up to an hour for them to be delivered on one occasion They also don’t answer the phone promptly and even before my trip I was trying to contact the hotel about my reservation and I had trouble contacting them via email and phoneThe pool is nice, nothing special The sun beds are filthy however- they could use an upgradePool bar closes at 9:30 which I thought was quite early for a hotel?The overall cleanliness of the hotel was disappointing- on arrival the room was far from spotless There were hairs on the bathroom floor and dust and dirt on the floor which I had to clean myself3 electrical sockets in my room were not working and the WIFI cut in and outWouldn’t bother staying again- apparently it has recently been acquired by Hilton so I hope they can whip the hotel into shape!

The staff and location is what makes this place great! This is not a 5 star hotel but has a much more local feel The breakfast cafe in the lobby is just the right mix of local flavor and atmosphere and food We miss it already! The staff is outstanding from the front desk at check in to room service

I forgot a whole drawer of clothes and they boxed it up for me and sent it back to the mainland The rooms are older and the beds are really double beds that really won’t sleep two adults so take note They were more then accommodating with a role away but after traveling to Hawaii, probably don’t want to sleep on that The pool was closed but that gave us access to the other property pools that were right on the beach! Can’t complain about that for sure! Rooms need a remodel as showers are smaller and older but worked just fine Overall I’d stay there again for sure just because of staff, the cafe, and the location!

Madison Shear

Okay so everyone at the hotel was great and friendly and the hotel itself was very clean Now for some of my complaints… the windows to the rooms appeared to be missing their seals or in need of replacements Because of the seals not being replaced we heard loud trucks, people outside yelling, ambulances and my favorite and the reason I am writing this post, construction

I’m sitting here writing this at 6 am because I can’t sleep with all of the beeping noises coming from the construction trucks down on the street below My next complaint would have to be the water temperature in the shower, whenever we did want to shower you’d have to let it run for at least ten to fifteen minutes to get it to a bare able temperature Lastly, something to consider before staying at this hotel is all the extra little fees You have paid for everything, then they hit you with $25 resort fees every day, but I’m not even sure what you are actually getting out of that when we are already paying hundreds to stay here Then if you want to park a car it’s $35 a day for guests and $50 for everyone else I guess I’m not understanding why there isn’t a better rate if we’re already paying that other fee We had an awesome time here in Hawaii but needed up spending the majority of our time in the north shore away from the crowds and loved it even more This hotel otherwise was not bad to stay at and it definitely got the job done for the little bit of time we spent in the room Again not a bad hotel but you ought to know these things before you choose to stay here

Jacob Martinez

Our stay here was top notch Such a perfect location to the beach, less than a 5 minute walk Staff was friendly, they provide beach towels as many as you need, and the rooms were clean and comfortable

Shower is small so be aware, and don’t leave your balcony doors open while you’re out, birds do fly by/in the room sometimes You’re close to all the best spots in Waikiki and the parking is pretty easy I’d highly recommend staying here!

Check in was easy The hotel is CLEAN No foul smells, it actually has a fresh smell to it

Beds are comfortable Housekeeping daily was greatly appreciated The only thing is parking You may or may not get a spot Other than that I’m enjoying my stay Side note even though parking isn’t the best, the location of the hotel is walking distance to food the beach and entertainment I’d definitely stay here again

fritz schacht

The single room I had was very small Not enough room for me to open up my luggage comfortably Pulling my luggage over the bed to get to the other side

My room was very clean I only needed to stay overnight, so I managed My colleague’s fortunately had larger rooms I definitely would stay at the Ala Moana hotel againI recommend the Steak restaurant on the 32 floor Fine dinning , great service, fabulous food

Tina Jentilet

We had a lovely conference Facilities were good, but I was freezing Check out the hand made origami peacock centerpiece

The vegetarian lunch was superb My room was good, but not much of a view I didn’t expect to have someone come in to make my bed or empty the trash (not usual protocol since COVID) so unfortunately some pens and business cards got thrown out It was nice to come back after a long day to have a nicely made bed

We are enjoying our room with partial ocean view They do not clean your room unless requested 24-hour prior notice and you pick the time they can clean When you need more towels, shampoo, conditioner, or coffee you just go ask the front desk and they give you more

Beach towels are included upon request, just make sure you let them know when you are returning them because they are checked out with your room number, There is a basket you drop them in when entering the lobby They a very big nice towels Very happy with are comfortable soft bed The stove top is a plug in the wall kind it’s not like the picture on the counter top Overall we are happy and thankful we choose this hotel

Shawn Corkum

Overall we had a good experience here I think the company had this listed as a 4 star, which it certainly is not 3

5 at best That being said, the room was clean and very spacious We had a one bedroom with a kitchenette AC was in the living room, and it was a bit challenging to keep the bedroom as cool as we would have liked but there was a ceiling fan Not a huge deal It was very nice to have a kitchenette The hotel needs some Renos, the hallways are very worn But, we paid far less for our stay here than other hotels, so overall were satisfied The service was excellent, especially the lady at the front desk (sadly I cannot remember her name) Nice to be able to use the towels as well If you can get past the wear and tear, it’s a good hotel in a great location (really short walk to the beach)

Roger Hollingshead

The hotel location is everything! 2 blocks to the beach and the best poke place in waikiki right across the street! You don’t need a car here unless you are going to explore the whole island We had a car and the parking was a good price for the areaThe pool has an amazing view and was empty most the time

The rooms are decorated a bit old style but clean

Terrible experience The hotel is very old and needs a renovation We couldn’t use the AC because it stinks

We took the filters out and they wasn’t cleaned for at least a few years, and it helped a little bit No windows so we basically had no air The last night at 4am our room filled with smoke and strong smell of something being burned, we were it’s fire but no fire alarm was on The smell and smoke was strong so we couldn’t be in the room since 4am We had to check out and move outThe room was also very dirty and full of previous guests hairThe area around is full of homeless people but it’s a downtown so it’s kinda as it should be in AmericaVery bad experience with this placeThe stuff was very helpful and nice tho That’s the only good thing about this hotel – the stuff

pafadul

Stayed here last week with my wife and chose this hotel because it was closer to the capitol and the palace In theory it sounded good but was a big mistake The area around the hotel (and I understand that this is out of their control) was not tourist friendly

Lots of homeless wandering around, people sleeping on sidewalks, abandoned looking buildings (the longs drugs at the bottom of the hotel was shuttered), and generally did not look safe The hotel itself does not have a restaurant or room service, so you will be forced to look around the hotel, which is fine unless you want to eat after 3pm (most of the restaurants close after this time) Now for the hotel itself The staff was friendly and tried to be helpful, but they could only do so much There is no fitness center at this hotel (a first for us since even the holiday inn has a basic setup) but they can sell you a one use pass for the 24 hour fitness nearby for $12 The view in the room was great, but the room itself was dated No comforter on the bed, and room service only comes by after 4 days of your stay You can request housekeeping or more towels, but we never actually tried this The tub had jets but as others had mentioned, the nozzles were black and quite dirty In our room the caulking at the base of the tub was not present, leaving a nice gap between the tile and the tub that looked unsettling when walking around with bare feet The carpet was well worn and the wallpaper was peeling in several places The a/c diffuser was placed on top of the door to the bedroom and ended up blowing directly on us as we tried to sleep, which was annoying It was nice that the rooms have a kitchenette with utensils, mugs, etc That actually came in handy a couple of times We did like the fact that there was a small table in the bedroom as well as the kitchen area and a loveseat as well Lots of room, but everything was just so old and worn down Overall, i think the hotel could be great if they just renovated the rooms I feel like this would have been an awesome hotel like 30 years ago

Stephanie Chase

Spacious room with a full small kitchen, a bathroom with a large tub and a washer/dryer, and a large bedroom with a view The neighborhood around the hotel has many AMAZING restaurants, and it is very easy to access Ala Moana and Waikiki beaches (in fact, much of Honolulu) via the multiple bus lines that come right by the hotel Keep in mind you are in downtown Honolulu, and not the tourist-filled streets of Waikiki

My husband & I celebrated our honeymoon at Paradise Bay The views are astounding! Treat yourself to a mountain view suite! You won’t regret it! The views driving up to the main roads are also amazing! My husband was in love! Paradise Bay provides the quaint & relaxing feeling Yes, there are roosters but not heard all of the time

The grills, pool, docks are all amazing! The boat excursion with Brian & Captain Rollin a huge plus & amazing experience! No, they’re not serving breakfast or any dining but everything is within a 10 minute drive & they provide an excellent list of dining suggestions! Minor issues (pillowcase had stains, only 1 side of toaster working) but the views & your experience make those minor issues disappear! Would definitely come back one the breakfast & dining re-open (hopefully very soon!)

Dan Davis

Overall the resort is nice It’s clean and they have some great services The staff were all very friendly

My only complaint is that the walls are very thin You can hear your neighbors dishes, conversations, etc as if they were right in your room If they could fix that by adding insulation or removing doors that connect rooms, then they would be fantastic

Kate Oksendahl

The location was wonderful and staff were very friendly Rooms are basic (they’ve got a few TV subscription channels that you can log into if you have your own account) and walls are very thin My only issue was that they are still charging a $19 per night Resort Fee (half off) even though they aren’t serving breakfast and they additionally charge $15 per night for parking

The Resort Fee covers kayak rentals, the fitness room, and pool towels, but if you’re not using those things, it would be nice if it at least covered parking on their property This added up to an additional $200 for 5 nights I’d prefer that they just charge for amenities à la carte Otherwise, we had a great stay

Most of the staff is friendly, but not everyone Room was not that clean There is a kitchenette, but only one chair

So one person should be standing while eating? When requesting for another chair, there were no extra chairs Also no table or chairs are present on the balcony Beach towels also ran outThe location is very good The bed was comfy

Melissa Nichols

The hotel staff were phenomenal One of our party had a mobility scooter, but the elevator was too small to accommodate it The front desk staff kept the scooter in a closet downstairs, and kept it charged and secure when it wasn’t in use

They were so accommodating of our needs, it really made our stay much easier than it could have been The room was clean, but otherwise pretty basic with a small kitchenette The location was ideal for getting anywhere in Waikiki, or catching transit to go farther out All in all, this is a great place to stay

Bea Giron

My friends and I stayed at the Polynesian Residences for 9 days when we went to Hawaii for our vacation Excellent amenities and friendly staff! Good value for your money as their rooms has everything you could ask for such as a kitchenette, bidet, spacious bathroom, kitchen utensils, and many more! Very clean lobby and room service is available upon request Would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone looking to stay in Hawaii as their rates are reasonable and close to lots of popular landmarks!

Benjamin Brummel

Very nice hotel with full kitchen and balcony (at least the two rooms I stayed in) Slightly upscale, but not excessive Pricing was reasonable and staff were super nice and helpful

Valet parking wasn’t exorbitant and they provide 24 hr vehicle access Overall, I’d recommend Luana if you have a mid range budget There are both cheaper and more expensive options nearby, but this place was great

Jesse Sinyster

Room was nice, balcony, sink, toaster oven, dishes and silverware It definitely hit all the right spotsExcellent for the Waikiki area

Short walk to the beach and a hop away from the shopping districtThe best part? The diner located in the hotel It was some of the best food we had on the entire island Price is perfect and portions were great Always satisfied with a meal from there

Sampath Durairaj

Our stay in Luana was excellent overall Room was clean and spacious, ocean view and the patio were great and the location was perfect! What compelled me to write a review was the support and care we received from Patricia Davis from housekeeping We forgot few valuables in the room and Patricia went above and beyond in getting them delivered to us

She showed empathy, care and diligence and kept us well informed through the process Her management of the situation and customer care was par excellence! Thank you Patricia!

The hotel was in a great location

walking distance from shops, restaurants, & the beach The front desk staff was very accommodating to us as we were a family group of 14 They gave us a free cot for 2 different rooms The rooms were large enough for each group The breakfast didn’t have a lot in the way of variety but it was enough for us The lobby area was great for our group for the evenings when we liked to play cards The rooms were cleaned nicely each day after our activities One night there as a lot of noise from the street until like 3am but certainly not the fault of the hotel The guy getting chair’s/luggage was kind of grouchy but I attributed that to the fact that he was always working–day & night with no day off that I noticed throughout our 8 day stay We thanked him for all he did putting up with us & tipped him our last day He did apologize although no apology was necessary If you’re on a budget & want a nice enough place to stay with free breakfast & close proximity to places I recommend it

Nabil Nahhas

This is a very nicely located hotel in the middle of everything you need The accommodations are very good, a little above the 3 star rating they have Everyone is friendly and the continental breakfast is also very good

After a fun filled day, I would enjoy sitting by the pond and relaxing with my wife before we went back upstairs to our room I highly recommend it

NOT AS DESCRIBEDI am not one to write a review but this place was so bad that I felt compelled to warn other travelers There are many places to stay in Honolulu, don’t choose this one Not as advertised

The pictures must be from 20 years ago We arrived in Honolulu at 11:30 pm, was told their parking lot was full and there was no street parking The hotel clerk gave us directions to a public lot which he said was a 5 minute walk away and they would validate the parking I asked him if it was safe to walk that distance at night and he said just be aware of your surroundings The parking garage was a 10 minute walk at best but because we found ourselves in the company of multiple people that appeared to be very intoxicated and several looked to be living on the streets, the 10 minute midnight walk felt like an eternity When we finally arrived to our room, it was dated, dirty, the sliding glass door wouldn’t lock and the air conditioner over our bed could not be turned down Just below our room on the street, people were partying until after 3:00 in the morning When we picked up our car the next day from the parking garage, we were charged an additional $2000 with the validation We were very disappointed in this property and if you are considering staying therecontinue your search

We loved our stay at the Imperial Hawaiian! The staff were amazing from the moment we arrived We utilized the valet service which was excellent They had fresh towels for us when we needed them, a pool, sauna, and two outdoor hot tubs

The view of the sunset from the top floor was amazing We were within walking distance to almost everything in Waikiki, which was super nice since parking can be an issue at times Overall, our stay was great and we would definitely come back!

Todd Sivertsen

I’m not one to give reviews regularly; I hope this review helps We booked this hotel (2 adults, 2 children (14 and 18) I was nervous because the amenities and the price didn’t line up

We arrived and were not disappointed at all The room had 2 bedrooms with a pull-out bed Each kid got their own bed The staff was excellent The hotel has an ABC convenience store attached ABC has everything you would need (food, alcohol, coffee, Coke fountain machine, coffee and memorabilia)The room itself was nice although a little outdated but still nice (especially for the price) The location is great Walking distance (4 minutes) to the beach Restaurants and stores are literally next doorI highly recommend this resort

Alize Magyar

Staff was wonderful, kind, and incredibly helpful Rented some chairs for the beach at a bargain The rooms were spacious and very clean

My only complaints about the room was my pillows were a bit lumpy and the bed wasn’t the most comfortable Too firm for my liking The view from the owners lounge was spectacular and worth being an owner just for that Would definitely return to this resort next time in Waikiki if it’s available for my timeshare

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at! It has a really chill and friendly atmosphere which is great for relaxing or meeting new people It’s a great location – close to a lot of great restaurants, bars, the beach and shopping The staff and owners are quite friendly and helpful

I also love that it has a 24/7 open kitchen, spare toilet and shower near the common area, a lot of beach equipment to borrow and the rooms are really clean

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! They have surf boards, umbrellas, beach chairs you can use for free Staff were incredibly kind and helpful and it is in a central location with good facilities Would stay here again!At time I visited office was open for check in 10am-1pm and 4pm-11pm

We had a few questions prior to arriving and all were answered quickly and throughly via email 🙂

Ejay Menchavez

I love it here!It’s important to pay attention to the office hours A lot of people would come in when the office was closed and would have to wait around outside the gateIt’s really close to a lot of great shopping

The staff is super helpful and usually know great places to go for groceries or eateriesThere’s also a super friendly dog that comes to visit from time to time Owner’s dog!

Hands down this property is the best place to stay in Waikiki Beach! Every room is basically a one bedroom apartment with a balcony and some great views The kitchen is fully loaded with a full fridge and oven Literally one block from the heart of Waikiki Beach

Tons of restaurants within walking distance Great pricing and the staff was awesome Jennifer the GM knows how to take care of business travelers and Jonathan at the front desk went out of his way to help with local suggestions and amenities I will definitely be back Such a great place for the price!!

Felix Martinez

I booked this place from Bookingcom and the pictures of the room were nothing like the pictures on the website The room I got was in really bad shape

Everything was old, the carpet was dirty, and hallways were in bad shape too As soon as I seen my room I went back down to the lobby and told them that I was expecting a room that looks like the pictures in the website They said they could move me the next day to a more modern room I took their offer The room I moved to was remodeled more recently and was in better shape I had a better view too I think they should be more honest with their potential customers so that you know what you are getting for your money before you get there The staff was friendly

Candice Maroney

I liked this place when I first came to Hawaii some years ago, that was why I recommend we stay here for my Birthday this year It has good prices, a full kitchen and enough space for the family but the quality sucks Only 2 out of 4 of our room keys actually work

The ceiling and carpet have stains in them The mattresses on the bed are very hard Closet space is very limited Last night there was a Cockroach in our room!! Which made me very paranoid, I could barely sleep The store downstairs is very overpriced I wouldn’t recommend buying anything The security staff are friendly but the others were not I won’t be back

Simply the best, cheapest and cleanest hostel to stay at when traveling to O’ahu Great bus service to downtown Honolulu or Waikiki and a relaxing patio to socialize with other travelersThe hostel is run by Sue, Paul and Joanna, three wonderful hosts to which you can ask all your questions

I thoroughly enjoyed my 22 days stay here and would gladly come back again!To Sue, Paul and Joanna, THANKS!!

Kaye S

This is a great no-thrills spot whether you’re passing through or staying a bit It’s a small operation run by a hardworking family, so I recommend calling them directly to book room Locked dooms with clean beds, lockers and a shared bathroom

There is parking available at the hostel and on the street which was nice for so close to downtown

Filip Rejmus

The hostel is a bit outside the busy areas of Honolulu but still pretty close to Waikiki and a couple of dining options It’s really small, having maybe 5 rooms and a really diverse crowd of visitors across all ages The rooms are clean and comfortable

Honorable mentions: Sue is the funniest person!!!!
