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
Rochelle Sides
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 stayed on the 7th floor with an ocean view room – decent view of the ocean, but you’re also looking straight down at neighboring hotel’s pool and roof top bar Hotel is situated right off of the main road, but was very noisy at night We had to sleep with ear plugs in and a sound machine going
I didn’t catch his name, but the young guy who checked us in and took care of us the majority of our stay was so nice and accommodating He even brought a hair dryer up to our room after we discovered our room was missing one He was awesome – thank you! The hotel parking is tight and limited and at an additional cost of $35/night Room was clean and bed was comfortable Quick access to main road and beach by foot Likely wouldn’t return here because we prefer somewhere more quiet and secluded than being down in the hub of it all
Alanieta Waqanicagica
If you’re looking for a place to stay in Waikiki – this is the best place! Not too pricey, hotels are clean, beach is a mere 2 min walk away The bus stop is also 2 min walk away, an ABC convenience stop is by it, if you’re heading out for Luau, tour etc the pickup spot is close tooThey don’t offer breakfast but many breakfast spots are close, rooms are serviced daily and the hotel staff are very friendly
If you can get a room with a balcony – it’s got some of the best views!
james olver
You couldn’t ask for a better location, great view, extremely convenient to the beach and tons of great food Staff was very friendly at all times and they offer a lot of extras for beach fun It was a little wonky finding with a car at first, but once we got the hang of it, easy peasy
Scout ahead on street view and you’ll avoid a lap around the block

Not too bad overall, but a little overrated The price is what you’d expect from a military-affiliate hotel, so the higher rank you are the less value you’re getting The location isn’t bad, but a little outside the main area (this may be considered an advantage)
Parking is $16 is you’re staying there, which is great for the area The big hit on this hotel for me, along with the rough towels in the bathroom, was the pool There’s an adult only pool, a main pool with an infinity pool above it, and a splash area for children The splash area is fun, but the main pool had so many rules it was hard to enjoy anything:- the entire pool is cleared at the top of the hour for “safety and training,” whatever that entails (it wasn’t obvious)- a child must know how to swim to swim in the pool without a life jacket (which they will provide) I understand that’s extremely safe, but then what’s the point of the three lifeguards and the other rule to be within arm’s reach of your young child all the time? Clearly this pool is not a good opportunity to have a child practice swimmingOverall, I’m glad I stayed a night, and I haven’t discounted the Hale Koa entirely, but I will definitely do a thorough cost comparison with hotels in the area before staying again
Jessica Morel
Friendly staff, very clean hotel and Omgosh the beds are comfortable as ever! There is a Starbucks in the main lobby which is convenient when you want to wake up early and just lounge in the lobby area Downstairs there is the Exchange for military and hotel guest Pathway downstairs leads you to the pools and beaches
Food was good I had a cheeseburger and fries for lunch which was delicious Ocean view rooms you will not regret if you purchase it was amazing! Free parking and walking distance from the strip I definitely would book here again!
Tammy Folks
Hale Koa is a haven in the craziness of Waikiki The grounds are stunning The adult pool was so relaxing and quiet, with shaded areas which is a must for me
Liked the Barefoot Bar as there was a lot of room to spread out, and had good drinks for a reasonable price Our room was very nice, we were on the end so had an extra large window which made it feel more spacious Our friends stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian village which was beautiful, but it was way too crowded for us We enjoyed the serene quiet of Hale Koa! The only thing I would change is for restaurants to have more gluten free options as I have celiac disease The breakfast buffet was fine, but the snack bars really had very little or nothing I could eat This hotel is a definite perk for those who serve/retire from the military We felt blessed to have the opportunity to stay there!

The location here is nice Close to the beach and you have a parking spot The room is outdated but fit all our needs
Would’ve really enjoyed our time if there weren’t ants everywhere Which, maybe is to be expected on an Island but we had trail mix out for 2 minutes and literally ants everywhere in it and also found a few ants in the bed I hate ants so this was not cool for us Ants in the sink On the wall in the bath tub Everywhere Not cool!!
Alexi Campbell
My wife & I stayed at Janice’s wonderful B&B to celebrate the beginning of our honeymoon, and the entire experience at Hawai’i’s Hidden Hideaway was absolutely fantastic! Tucked away in a gorgeous neighborhood in Kailua, the place is as charming in person as we hoped Upon our arrival, the room was clean, cozy, and stocked full with everything you might need for a beach escape We had the pleasure of meeting our lovely host Janice one morning, where we got a little history of the place as well as some local recommendations
I would HIGHLY recommend staying here, 5 star, 10/10, would love to come back!
Melora Leiser
Hawaii Hideaway B&B is the perfect location, comfortable, clean and very accommodating! I stayed for two weeks and loved every minute! Janice has thought of every little thing you may need – from many kitchen items, to extra food, to extra towels, cooler, beach bag, beach mats and even umbrellas for those occasional rain showers Nestled back in a quiet neighborhood, minutes walk or bike ride to the beach and carport parking – the location is great! I rented a bike (The Bike Shop recommended by Janice) and rode all over Kailua – mostly to the beach Nearby Lanikai and Kailua beach are often rated the best because they are beautiful, full of activity but also quiet spots and great for sunrises, long walks and swimming
The room is very clean, with a small table, comfortable bed and great bathroom suite The shower and all the provided toiletries worked great and were much appreciated Janice provides fresh fruit, juices, water, pastries and more upon arrival The kitchenette is well stocked with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, hot plate, dishes, silverware, pots, pans and many kitchen utensils The outdoor spaces were great too – I spent many mornings on my private lanai enjoying the beautiful tropical plants, birds and breezes The room has A/C and plenty of fans – I felt very comfortable and secure I highly recommend the Hawaii Hideaway Bed and Breakfast and hope to come back soon!

Location is great, short walk to the beach A lot of restaurants and shopping nearby, within walking distance The staff is very welcoming and nice
The rooms are EXTREMELY outdated but clean For the price, it’s a great deal The pools are disappointing, we didn’t even bother spending time there They are extremely small and located between two buildings Might be the saddest pools in WaikikiOverall, if you are looking for a budget option, it’s an decent choice But if you are looking for resort type of property, with nice pool and view, this isn’t the one
Kitty Godfrey
I booked my trip through beachbound I was very impressed with the service I received I brought back a lot of sand in our bathing suits and accidentally made a beach in our room
I called room service and they were very quick to come up and vacuum for us and with a smile The front desk was quick to answer any questions we had and very polite The room was spacious but simple which was perfect for my taste The staff made me feel like we were not guests but visiting family that they care about This made my trip easy, at home, and very welcomed I’ve never felt this well treated even by a higher end hotel I was very skeptical at first due to reviews I read but for my experience they were very very wrong Thank you for everything
Jennifer K
The staff make the difference here, they were great! We picked the Malia for reasonable prices and weren’t looking for frills Room was clean and comfortable Location was central for walking but the street can be noisy if you’re a light sleeper
We were happy with our stay and thrilled with the staff!

Plenty of restaurants in the area as wellThe salt water pool is always clean, never crowdedThe staff are kind and helpfulWhen we leave the island we will return
shawna lamb
My husband and I stayed here for an extended period with our kids It was nice being able to cook in the full kitchen with kids Also very close to restaurants and shops if you needed
We had a 2 bedroom with was nice to put the kids to sleep without bothering them Each room had its own AC sl we didnt hace to waste power if we werent in a room We were in a middle floor and it was still quiet We loved the pool it was always clean Great option for military families as it’s close to food and easy access to most of the bases down south We plan to stay here again on the way out
Angelica Salazar-Tsoi
The place is a little dated but the room we got for 2 adults, 4 kids and our big dog was perfect! Clean, ready to “live in” Pool is cute and clean There’s a bike path right behind the hotel, it’s by the water, so pretty
Location wise, it’s by the mall so there’s plenty of food options That being said, the street it shoots off from, that area is a little sketch at night I’d stay there again tho! Worth it for me and my big family

Nice charming rooms to stay in When you hear the word hostel you tend to lower you expectations However, the rooms here are very clean and the premises (laundromat area/common areas/hangouts/smoking areas) are very well maintained
The staff is friendly and accommodating The surrounding areas are peaceful and other tenants keep to themselves so it makes for a really nice stay
Ted Frey
Super accommodating staff! I was supposed to arrive in early afternoon, but my flight was canceled and then my new flight was delayed I didn’t get in until late at night, but they were there to meet me at the gate and get me all set up after a super long day of traveling The room was far more than I was expecting for the price as well
Sure, it’s no luxury resort, but the value for your money is unbeatable!
Corey Hood
Nice guys in management, easy-going, with respect and aloha The location is perfectly situated right in the middle of everything you will ever need or want They are not worried about any comments from a few years ago since they made it into a community by their upgrades of the security, with a tall fence, automatic vehicle gates, three sets of locking doors, high-tech cameras and in fact have generally raised everything to a hotel standard
I’d prefer to stay here than anywhere else, and have for years, while it’s worked very well for me When you consider everything, quite the top value accommodation

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

coffee maker did not have pods for first breakfast Machine broke for last two breakfasts We had booked both units months ago for our family, one was double booked so we were very disappointed to stay apart the first two nights
We were given what I would consider a small discount for the inconvenience Everyone gets a papaya, that was delicious The rooms are clean and adequate There is plenty of beach equipment which we used
Wasy Wasdyke
We had another great stay at The PP Bob and Jeanette are wonderful and made our trip a fulfilling experience We actually spent more time with them this year because we didn’t do a lot of tourist things
We used the pool and enjoyed the mountain views The room was very clean and airy and Kailua Beach is minutes away It really was a restful vacationSee you next year!

My husband was working on MCBH for a month so i flew out for a week We spent the week here at this beautiful B&B Bob and Jeanette are very pleasant hosts and made us feel right at Home
The room was very clean and the water pressure was excellent for those after beach showers! We enjoyed the pool and also the Lanai The back yard is peaceful and great for enjoying the sun and reading a pool before taking a dip in the pool Next time we come to Hawaii we will definitely be back to Papaya Paradise 😊

The hotel is located farther away from the ocean or the main strip than other hotels but I don’t think you will find a nicer hotel when it comes to staff, operation, cleanliness and comfort The valet here is incredibly quick and you will get your car about 20x faster than the Hilton or Marriott The hotel is always kept extremely clean, and provided daily housekeeping in a post Covid world
They provide free beach towels through an easy checkout system You almost never have to wait or share the elevators, which once again was a luxury compared to the Marriott or Hilton Overall if you are looking for a great hotel with no fuss or issues the bigger hotels have this is the place for you If you are looking for an exceptional view of Waikiki Beach I would recommend the locations closer to the ocean
Kimberly Franco
Laurie the manager was awesome! The hotel was clean, spacious and comfortable Location was great with many food and shopping options near by All the staff and Front desk were nice and welcoming! Highly recommended
The pool was small- but it is heated and was a nice place to rest from long walking and hiking days Pictures from balcony were great!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at the Waikiki Hotel The staff was very pleasant and attentive Our room (1005) was very spacious and comfortable, especially for a week long stay
We enjoyed watching sunrise from the balcony Although we were able to hear a lot of traffic noise from our room, it did not affect our sleep (I was very surprised by this, and a little nervous)The hotel location was very convenient and within walking distance of pretty much anywhere in Waikiki, shopping, restaurants, and beaches We had a car and the valet parking worked out nicely and we never had to wait long for our carI normally don’t spend time on reviews, but I wanted to make a point at our happy we were to stay at the Coconut Waikiki

Third time to Hawaii and although this was the cheapest hotel of the three trips this was my favorite hotel of all The room I was was large, very clean and towels were great thick large towels Staff was friendly and helpful, laundry room in hotel and even had a small pool for the kids to enjoy
This will definitely be my choice when I come to Honolulu Hotel has a great location and although it’s a older hotel this place is a gem with its kitchenettes Thank you staff for being so accommodating to me and my large family Truly enjoy this experience as I sit on your balcony writing this

The staff is always friendly and helpful With the new renovations the rooms receive a 5 star Love having a kitchen
I have stayed here for many years and the location and staff help make this hotel an excellent choice Not on the beach but easy walking to it Quieter than some other hotels on the main streets Lovely balcony and large rooms
Sarah Cheang
I’m giving this hotel 5 stars for the wonderful staff and really relaxing atmosphere Some of the rooms have been renovated and some are a bit shabby but the hotel itself was delightful and super friendly I especially loved the pink balconies
Our room has lots of Hawaiian style bamboo furniture but maybe this will go with the renovations The website warns of construction work but we only heard it once for about 20 minutes The rest of the time the hotel was very peaceful Location is perfect for beach, shops, restaurants, buses If you like longer walking you can stroll all the way to the Diamond Head beaches or walk the other way along the canal towards Honolulu convention Center The canal is said to be very polluted but I saw so many fish in there, including giant puffer fish, and they were friendly too!

Good customer service Would have been nice to have some sort of special treatment for my wedding (card, champagne, or free breakfast voucher
) but still had a good time We were there for over a week with multiple rooms in our group We unfortunately didn’t qualify for a discount, but I get it Water pressure was the only real issue Nice hotel and staff was professional and courteous Very convenient to have a restaurant and gift/convenient store on property Surprised they didn’t offer room service Excellent location

Remember to use ʜᴏᴛᴇʟʙoʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking your hotel This website will compare countless booking websites and normally will have rates much cheaper than others! Thank me later on! This place is one of the best in the area
I have been coming here for years If you choose this place you won’t regret itRoom was always clean Valet was always friendly and willing to help out Rooms were decent size Not much outside noise gets in when the door is closed View is spectacular no matter what side you are on Housekeeping did a fantastic job
Jennifer Wirth
Close enough to everything Waikiki, good location The international marketplace is right across the street for good food and shopping The beach is a 10 minute walk away
All staff we’ve encountered have been very friendly and actually seem like they’re having a good time We kept passing this one bellman (I think?) near the elevators who was always smiling or loudly singing along with the music playing from the speakers We had little interaction with him, but he had such a fun, positive energy The rooms and entire hotel are nice and cleanThe price is good for Waikiki, but be aware that the pool is tiny and filled with shouting kids, the fitness center smells AWFUL (like, truly bad We opened the door, got our faces assaulted with the punch of maybe 30 years worth of stale sweat, and immediately closed the door without entering God awful), the view from the balcony is into other rooms and balconies and alley, and there’s no hot tub I don’t really care about pool or balcony views since there’s so much off property to do, but a 9 pm hot tub soak would have been so niceAll in all, if you only have a few nights and don’t care about being right on the beach, this is a great choice for accommodation

The location here is nice Close to the beach and you have a parking spot The room is outdated but fit all our needs
Would’ve really enjoyed our time if there weren’t ants everywhere Which, maybe is to be expected on an Island but we had trail mix out for 2 minutes and literally ants everywhere in it and also found a few ants in the bed I hate ants so this was not cool for us Ants in the sink On the wall in the bath tub Everywhere Not cool!!

My wife & I stayed at Janice’s wonderful B&B to celebrate the beginning of our honeymoon, and the entire experience at Hawai’i’s Hidden Hideaway was absolutely fantastic! Tucked away in a gorgeous neighborhood in Kailua, the place is as charming in person as we hoped Upon our arrival, the room was clean, cozy, and stocked full with everything you might need for a beach escape We had the pleasure of meeting our lovely host Janice one morning, where we got a little history of the place as well as some local recommendations
I would HIGHLY recommend staying here, 5 star, 10/10, would love to come back!
Melora Leiser
Hawaii Hideaway B&B is the perfect location, comfortable, clean and very accommodating! I stayed for two weeks and loved every minute! Janice has thought of every little thing you may need – from many kitchen items, to extra food, to extra towels, cooler, beach bag, beach mats and even umbrellas for those occasional rain showers Nestled back in a quiet neighborhood, minutes walk or bike ride to the beach and carport parking – the location is great! I rented a bike (The Bike Shop recommended by Janice) and rode all over Kailua – mostly to the beach Nearby Lanikai and Kailua beach are often rated the best because they are beautiful, full of activity but also quiet spots and great for sunrises, long walks and swimming
The room is very clean, with a small table, comfortable bed and great bathroom suite The shower and all the provided toiletries worked great and were much appreciated Janice provides fresh fruit, juices, water, pastries and more upon arrival The kitchenette is well stocked with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee pot, hot plate, dishes, silverware, pots, pans and many kitchen utensils The outdoor spaces were great too – I spent many mornings on my private lanai enjoying the beautiful tropical plants, birds and breezes The room has A/C and plenty of fans – I felt very comfortable and secure I highly recommend the Hawaii Hideaway Bed and Breakfast and hope to come back soon!
