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

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

Excellent!! I had an absolutely fantastic stay during my five days at this Hyatt The valet was always quick, and the staff were genuinely friendly and conversational I requested a room with a better view at check-in, and the on-site manager immediately came over, searched for available rooms, and put me in a room with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows

The room was super nice, and hotel provides optional everyday cleaning The shower is essentially a high pressure car wash, making you feel like a brand new, cleansed person stepping out The lobby and splash pool is a nice place to lounge and eat carryout Location is also ideal and <8 min walk to Waikiki beach with plenty of eateries to choose fromI seldom give 5 star ratings, but this Hyatt rightfully earns it I highly recommend and will def stay here again for future vacations to Oahu!

This review is long overdue!I had the pleasure of staying here at the end of March for 4 nights This place is hospitality done right! I feel like the staff is genuinely caring and very approachableEvery encounter with any staff member was incredibly pleasant, front desk, concierge, bell, housekeeping, even the manager, Daniel, had reached out to me prior to my stay to check-in before my travel day was approaching

My room was amazing! Great view, great size, very clean and well maintained There is a resort fee but it goes a long way I took advantage of the resort fee by using the gym, took a professional yoga class, and they provide beach towels/umbrellas/boogie boards/ for the beach- which is short walking distance passing all of the nice shops They even give you these really cool Hyatt branded reusable bottles (to fill with water or your favorite drink) They made a great souvenirMy first Hyatt stay and definitely won’t be my last Thank you Daniel & team for the hospitality and making my first trip to the Islands so memorable! I will definitely be back!

Rob Loper

We had a great visit at this hotel Many hotels in Honolulu are aging and look broken down That is not the case here

Everything was clean and updated The lobby is accommodating and has plenty of lounge furniture to relax in or space to eat, work etcOur room was immaculately clean and very comfortable Plenty big as well Has a large flat screen TV with all the modern smart TV features including Chromecast! We did have a couple of issues with refrigerator and plumbing, but they were resolved quickly, and the staff was very accommodating and concerned that we were as comfortable as possibleSpeaking of service, the staff members here are some of the most friendly, helpful, courteous, professional, and personable people of any hotel I’ve stayed at They were so nice to us, and could provide any information we needed about Honolulu and local places of interest They also played with and fawned over our 10 month old daughter and made her feel very special I mean we almost want to come back every year just so they can watch her growThe pool is unique It’s not a deep lap swimming pool But more shallow and designed for lounging in (or out of) the water It was absolutely perfect for us, and our daughter quite possibly had the best time of her life in the pool The other amenities are also great It feels like they thought of everything we could need and made it available to usThe location is perfect for Waikiki It’s within walking distance to anything you could be visiting Waikiki to do Tons of nearby restaurants, upscale and regular shopping, as well as souvenir shops and other activities Very close, easy walk, to the beachI could go on and on, but suffice it to say this hotel is appropriate for families, couples, single people, travel groups, you name it Highly, highly recommend Hyatt Centric in Waikiki

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

MY FAVORITE HOTEL STAY EVERThe staff were incredible and so welcoming! Special shout-out to Princess, who was able to help me get my wedding dress steamed in time for my wedding (She was also super sweet!) Also, the valet staff were so welcoming as well! They would always greet my husband and I so excitedly – they even remembered our names! Lastly, the room was perfect! We had an ocean view room and we were in awe of the view

We spent so much time finding the perfect hotel to stay for our wedding, and I’m glad we stayed here Thank you!!

Kim C

We recently stayed for 6 nights in an extremely clean ocean view room on the 14th floor Everything was wonderful! ALL of the employees that we interacted with were very warm and welcoming We spent Easter morning at the beautiful pool with a friendly pool attendant

We had a rental car for 2 days and the bellhops remembered us whenever we parked or even walked by Check-in, check-out and requesting housekeeping was so simple The location is so convenient to plenty of shops and restaurants as well as a beautiful view of the ocean We highly recommend this hotel!

Julie H

Truly outstanding property in Waikiki beach Rooms are somewhat small, but hey you’re in Hawaii so you really only use the room to sleep and shower Very much a boutique type feel hotel

Beautiful decor throughout the propertyFabulous bathroom with deep soaking tub and gentle cleaning bidet’s on the toilets Our 12th floor ocean view room did not disappoint!Exceptional service from every single staff member we encountered Carl at the pool was especially helpful and friendly The breakfast package that came with our stay was fabulous It’s served at their even more upscale sister property across the streetI loved the Halepuna and you will too!

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

Kerri McCallson

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

Don Mosca

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

One of the best ocean view hotels in Waikiki Our family stayed in Ocean Front Club Queen Room for 5 nights in July 2022 Everything during our stay was perfect

The room was spacious, clean and newly renovated The beds were big and comfortable The location are convenient to a lot of restaurants and shopping malls The hotel staff were so kind and always there to provide help to the hotel guests The hotel also had an easy access to the beach and different kinds of water activities The hotel public area were newly renovated in a modern and bright style to make you feel happy and relax At last , I wants to say thanks to Mandy, the housekeeper of 8F, she worked so hard to keep our Room 819 clean and tidy everyday Also, send my thanks to Frank, the manager of V47 club lounge, he was always there every morning to help us set up the breakfast All my family members, my husband, my kids love the hotel so much We will definitely come back in the near future

Theresa Orzech

The staff was amazing very kind Jason at the front desk was amazing hooked us up with activities in the area to do So far our stay has been so so wonderful will definitely come back the rooms are nicely furnished refrigerator lots of room and balcony also attached to the room nice to sit out and hear the bands play

The beach is right around the corner leaving Wednesday and dreading itit’s been a wonderful stay LOVE LOVE LOVE this place If you don’t stay here you are missing out!

Sarah Alvarez

From start to finish, this hotel was perfect for our family vacation Donna, at the front desk, was helpful on more than one occasion and made our stay that much more relaxing and worry free All staff members we spoke to were friendly and attentive

Our room was cleaned daily (we called to ask for it) We stayed in a one bedroom suite, and both the bed and the pull out sofa bed were comfortable Rooms were cool with air conditioning that ran without any issues The fridge and microwave were very handy with two kids – so we were able to keep snacks and beverages in our room for a longer period of time The pool was relaxing, and right next to the bar ~ which made for a relaxing time for the adults and fun time for the kiddos If you walk through the hotel you end up straight on the beach! Overall, we are so pleased we stayed here, and will definitely book again!

Kenya M

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!

Beth Stewart

The room was spacious and the view we requested at purchase matched the description online It was amazing! The staff went above and beyond for us We misunderstood the housekeeping schedule (which was that they would clean your room every third day) and we requested daily cleanings after each night’s stay

Even though it wasn’t policy, the staff cleaned our room They totally didn’t have to do this but they did it anyway and we appreciate them appeasing us!Staff at the desk were amazing as well and greeted us each day by name and with a warm smile which is impressive considering they (and us) wore face masks! I highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back!

Beth Rosencrans

We loved staying at the Lotus! The employees are so friendly and helpful They were all so nice to talk to! I loved the location as it was on Waikiki, but is located at the end so it’s a lot more quietIt can be argued that the Lotus is worth 5 stars, but I couldn’t do it because unfortunately, it is not located on the beach and does not have a pool or hot tub

There isn’t much they can do to change that and they have done their best to make it the best it can be They also have a fine dining restaurant that only serves dinner, so other meals were in town There is a small beach they have access to and they provide beach chairs which was fantastic They also serve complimentary wine in the afternoon and have bicycles to borrow to ride around town Rooms are spacious, updated and very clean – they also have a great view of Diamond Head and some water viewsI would absolutely recommend the Lotus to friends and will definitely return in the future It was a great week!

Print Away

We were paid $1500 for a two bedroom suite Which is fine if the hotel had any amenities It doesn’t have a pool, a restaurant, just a one person front desk

Zero view on the ocean Very little parking We were suppose to stay 4 nights but we just stayed one The location is not near restaurants If you want to walk through a parking lot and drag you beach chair chair over Not what I thought I was getting us We moved down got two rooms overlooking the beach near restaurant, house keeping everyday without asking for it All the amenities you could ask for and much more I never do reviews But after not reading the reviews before booking I had to put my two sense in It is clean

Anthony Smith

The check-in time wasn’t the best The views is winning I love passing out to the sound of the waves

For the price I only stayed 1 night The room quality – price ratio isn’t on point I had reservations for a bigger room elsewhere The experience was great I actually wanted to stay another night because of the nice breeze and the view Be nice if they can turn 2 corner suites into a 1 bedroom with a big tub A whole 280° view plus some

Daniel

So far this is an absolutely amazing hotel Directly next to the lagoon and everything looks absolutely gorgeous There are throngs and throngs of people here which made check in pretty slow and clunky

It’s also a $50 resort fee per night plus parking fees and the parking garage is cumbersome and difficult to get to but not too bad They have a shopping village and food around every corner They have kayak and paddle boat and paddleboard rentals by the lagoon which is pretty cool

D Gnz

The only complaint I have: was checking in long n slow lines I liked the hotel n service

Our room was kept clean The hotel restaurants were highly expensive but there’s a food truck across the lagoon, the best shrimp n fish The hotel location is perfect: beachfront, lagoon , n many shops ABC stores to get food too Parking space is expensive $59 per day We didn’t use their parking garage, we found a cheaper one 1 block away I will reserve it again because of location

We had the most wonderful experience at this hotel The service they provide is next level incredible! The concierge has so much knowledge and were amazing at helping us book cars and restaurants and giving us a tons of options on what to do The hard part was choosing from the list

The facilities and room were perfect and well maintained I also enjoyed that there was a kids and adults only pool The view from our room was amazing They are also extremely diligent in following Covid protocol (even though that sadly means no buffet breakfast!) An expensive hotel that’s worth every cent!

Dea Logsdon

The best! We stayed here for a week for our honeymoon The staff were all so kind, housekeeping were so sweet and thoughtful We even had a washer/dryer in our room (awesome for not having to come home with a bunch of dirty laundry!) The food was amazing and it was just so lovely!! Definitely worth the price tag

We felt so comfortable and so well taken care of here We absolutely plan on staying here again if we get the chance!!

Dominik Lee

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and it was the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at From the amazing service from all their friendly staff, to the clean and modern rooms, The Ritz at Waikiki Beach was above and beyond all expectationsThe rooms were clean, modern and had extremely comfortable beds

There was a full kitchen and even washing machines in the suite! Really felt like a home away from home Not to mention the views were absolutely breathtaking!Room service food was excellent The service provided by all staff was absolutely unreal From the valet on the ground floor, to the front desk staff and the housekeeping staff – everyone was so friendly and really went out of their way to ensure we had an enjoyable stay When we were leaving, we had a late evening flight and the staff were able to accommodate us to check out late so that we could still explore the city during the day and come back to our room to shower and change Usually hotels are extremely stingy about their check-out times, I’ve never experienced such exceptional serviceTo top it all off, the location was excellent You’re within walking distance to everything in downtown Waikiki Lots of good food and shopping close byWe will definitely be staying here again the next time we’re in Waikiki!

Had high expectations for this resort given its prime real estate Checking in late, we expected an easy & smooth check-in, but ended up waiting way too long – could have been greeted with waters or a complimentary drink to ease the wait The guest experience is lacking given the $ paid – just didn’t feel the warm friendly vibe you would expect

The rooms are dated, but spacious – AC works well Nearby food outlets on the resort are average quality – nothing special (nice part is there is an ABC store on the resort) You have to book your housekeeping (ended up cleaning the room) plus can only hold pool towels for 24 hours or return them the next day Also, make sure you check which building you are staying in as they play live music until 11pm on some nights and found it hard to sleep Pools are good, but busy All and all, would try booking somewhere else next time unless this resort starts to prioritize guest experience management

Anthony Chan

Beautiful location with direct beach access This conglomerate of Hilton hotels bunched together creating a little shopping haven What is unique with this Hilton location is the fire work every Friday night at 8pm

An experience you do not want to miss The fire work is beautiful and proximal that it feels 3DBali at the waterfront for breakfast: the waitress I have was attentive, personable and made great suggestions Although it looks real pricey, the portion size is decent and can be sharedwhat make up for the price is the view of the ocean and the food being served immediately piping hotThe only cons are the front desk could have smile more and be friendlier Being a diamond member and could not get any member benefits when subscribed to the Hilton Grand vacation package was a total disappointment Not only you can’t check in early, we had to wait 3 hours to be notified that our room was ready Then wait another hour at the mail and key line to find out that our room was not ready That was a little perturbing

jim nava

The General Manager (Jeff) + all staff of the hotel were amazing, helpful and accommodating This helped my family and I to actually relax and enjoy every moment we were there I am so grateful for the hospitality and professionalism from initially booking to departure

Very clean resort with very high standardsExcellent location Accessible stores and food options within the village + a 15 minute walk to the main strip regardless, for shopping and restaurants Parking although expensive, is in a secured garage steps away from each of the buildings in the resortBeach front, lagoon and landscaping were well maintained and beautifulMandara Spa on site was helpful to rectify an issue and the massage was excellent

Giving this a 5 star rating based on our entire experience The hotel is very clean! It’s an older hotel that’s been very nicely updated! Especially in the beautiful lobby and bar/Restaurant The food here is beyond amazing! The rooms are nice and clean

But more than anything, The entire staff made this an incredible experience You truly feel like they become friends Pony up and get a room with a beach view or better yet an ocean front We had a beach view which was nice but wished we had a beachfront once we saw them Location is amazing too! Away from the crazy Waikiki but yet close to everything! Thank you!

Steph Soliz

Our stay at this hotel was great! Right on the beach and near lots of park amenities like tennis courts, soccer field, and basketball courts Wide open stone walkway to run alone the shoreline Great views of Diamond Head and close, easy access to gas stations and restaurants

The older part of the hotel doesn’t have an elevator but it is key access to get to stairs Our room was 302 or 304 I believe We had the corner room on the third floor and it was awesome! Very roomy and loved the large balconies and 3 sliding doors to access each side We still had a partial ocean view Room was always nice and cool Fridge and microwave worked great The vanity had two sinks so it was easier to get ready Room was always clean everyday and everyone was always super nice to us Definitely will stay here again

This hotel is really awesome! A neat little mall like place on the first and second floor My girlfriend and I went downstairs to Kai Coffee to start our mornings too! We got the ocean view room and it was really nice! No bed bugs too! The room service comes a bit early, but they’re really friendly and nothing was stolen My only problem was the pillows are hard like bricks

Other than that our stay was perfect!

Rahul Krish

Location – 5/5 – Just amazing, right at the center of everything Beach was just outside, lot of great restaurants and shopping around They also have a car rental right at the hotel

Room – 5/5 – Was very clean, bathrooms were great, had a balcony with a decent view of the mountainsService – Room service was fantastic, they are very friendly and helpfulValue – 5/5 – We got a great deal, so I think it’s definitely worth itAmenities – 5/5 – They have a good gym, decent pool and a hot tub They provide beach towels as well Only thing I wish the package included was the beach umbrella, but you can get one for 10 bucks a day right outsideParking – Was fairly expensive, so we didn’t end up using itI would recommend renting a car only when needed and not throughout your stay as most of the bars , beach and restaurants are within walking distanceOverall, it was a very pleasant stay! Highly recommended!

Simon Cai

Amazing place overall!!! Spending our honeymoon here, and the oceanfront room we got had a simply magnificent view The hotel is literally seconds away from the beach, so if you enjoy hearing soothing sounds of the waves then this is for you, though may not be everyone One small item is that the shower could be updated a bit, but the room itself from the bed to the bidet(!) to just the general setup with the lounger facing the ocean is just fantastic

Would definitely recommend!

I love love love this hotel! The view is beautiful, and it’s so clean everywhere I love their system for valet parking They’re very quick and friendly

We stayed on the 21st floor so the view of the mountains and Waikiki is beautiful However, we’ve been staying here for 4 nights and 5 days without cold water in the restroom When I said no cold water, I mean absolutely no cold water Imagine yourself showering with burning hot water that causes third degree burns This is such a traumatizing experience for me and my friends We’ve complained and was advised someone would do something about it, and nothing We couldn’t move to another hotel since everywhere is booked The hotel said someone was going to come and fix this problem, but then again they didn’t care to fix it I’m surprised not much could have been done If you’re unit have a water problem, you can move us to another room This is my first time to Hawaii and it could have been a very positive experience otherwise if it hasn’t been for this I understand there are situations where things just doesn’t work out, and we are just unlucky with the room having a malfunction However, how the hotel react to it is very important Such poor communication and management for such a nice place If you’re unlucky like us then you’re pretty much screwed I would not recommend this place

Tropical7

Enjoyed staying here Book lagoon (not Marina side, not city/concrete jungle side) #1130 was nice for what we needed

Blackout curtains would have been a nice addition Large balcony to have morning beverage or snack, tv, air conditioning, updated kitchen and shower, king bed and sofa bed Can view fireworks from balcony on Friday nights Would stay again Pool was nice Restaurant downstairs outside Ice cream, trinkets and some items at store at hotel like postcards, makeup bags, beach bags, soaps, beverages, snacks Very nice open air restaurant with fantastic history Walking distance to restaurants, beach and lagoon right there, Marina, perfect view from balcony

Vince K

Room was very nice, great view Centric location in Waikiki Plenty of food, shopping, and beaches in the area

Had fully stocked kitchenette, meaning utensils and cookware Temp was great but wish the fan/cooler could be aimed more at the bed Liked that all we had to do to check in/out was enter a code in the door lock Security was very nice during the few interactions we had with them Not sure if this is a normal thing with these kind of rentals but they only give you a ‘starter’ set of goods (tp, shampoo/conditioner, soap, lotion and towels) and then a small fee of you want more or buy some at the market in the lobby I guess my point is that you usually get those things from room service as part of your stay Was nice sitting on the open pavilion and enjoying a couple of meals at sunset They have two pools, technically Main one is a regular pool with an outdoor hose and then showers in the adjacent bathroom Higher level one was just a jacuzzi and a very shallow pool You will get jealous of neighbors on either side however cause the Hilton has a crazy water fall pool with decoration and the other side has gazebos all around the perimeter of their pool with a big round splash pad Would recommend

I needed to book a room at the last minute at 1:00am for seven nights The front desk was friendly, helpful and accommodating The hotel is clean, well run, and caters more to the business traveler and was a nice change of pace from the more tourist-overridden beachfront hotels

I needed to extend my stay two extra nights and they were also very accommodatingHousekeeping was thorough, and despite being scheduled to service the room only every four days, it was simple to request more frequent service as neededRecommended

Michelle Corrales

Staying at the Hilton was a great choice! The location was awesome and close to everything! It was a short walk to the beach and the beach views were unbeatable If you’re looking for food and shops or entertainment, everything was right down the street We literally walked everywhere from coffee shops to abc stores to the international marketplace and the beach the entire time, no car needed! The service was amazing, everyone we encountered was friendly, helpful and went above and beyond

Definitely worth a stay and I’d return for another stay

Junhua Chen

The service here is very good From valet parking to house keeping and front deskJessica who helped check me in was very helpful, I had multiple reservations and she helped combine them together, avoided check out and check in again

The restaurant is a good place for a quick biteAnd the beach towel machine is a great perkThe only thing I am not happy with is the AC in the room It’s cooling down the room, but somehow it didn’t make the room dry, so the room was moist and cool

Not the fanciest hotel in Waikikibut this establishment is one of the best bang for you buck and has one of the best ocean views of the beach

It’s right smack in the middle of the city so everything is walking distance Across the street from Duke’s statue ABC store just downstairs off the building, and an Egg n Things breakfast place (that’s always packed) just off the front desk The rooms are small, but clean, updated, and adequateit has a fridge, coffee maker, but no microwave We didn’t really mind because we spend our time outside enjoying Oahu anyway What this hotel makes up for and definitely makes it worth it is the perfect ocean view you’ll get (if you get the ocean front rooms)Parking can be troublesome if you have a rental car because it is very limited, although they have additional parking that’s about 2 blocks away from a sister company We lucked out and got parking in the building The host, Shawn, is one of the nicest you’ll meet Very hospitable and very helpful The staff are all very nice as wellThey have a wall with pictures and history of the hotel by the front deskI recommend you read (or at least browse through it) It gives you an appreciation of the hotel and its ownerOverall I would definitely recommend this hotel

Amber Piccirello

Rooms are pretty basic but beds were comfortable and price was affordable Wish we would have upgraded to full ocean view as the beach is right across the street We had partial ocean view which was great when sitting out on the balcony

Everything you need is within walking distance The guys working at reception were very nice The cleaning staff were great as well – we only had our room cleaned once but they asked us if we needed anything everytime we’d walk by them in the hallway Only downfall with this hotel is parking The lot was full everyday we were there so we had to park at another Aston hotel a few blocks away which was $25 a day Not a huge deal for us but can see how it may be an issue for some

Curtis Montano

Great location just across the street from the beach Food places all around, great places to check out and loads of shops just walking distance Older building but it has a great view if you book a beach facing room, you can watch the sunset from your balcony

Rooms are small but if you only need it to sleep and shower, its the best hotel deal on Waikiki beach

Overall, the stay at this hotel wasn’t bad The standard room was smaller than expected If you don’t get a room that faces the pool/beach your balcony will be very small

The staff did their best to resolve issues as fast as possible and were very friendly Amazing view of the beach, which is across the street In walking distance to restaurants, and shopping I liked that they held your bags for you if you had a late flight after check out I wish the check out time was a little bit lately due to Hawaii being on a different time zone I didn’t like that if you didn’t have a suite that you had to rent a microwave from them (daily fee) The hotel does not provide breakfast Also, if you rent a vehicle you will have to pay for daily valet parking Shuttles are not provided for this location so you have to make your own arrangements to get to and from the airport or other outings/tours I would suggest that the hotel upgrade their elevator control for only the hotel guest to have access to the rooms

Erin Miller

Just what we were expecting Great location right across the street from the beach Beautiful views of Diamond Head and the ocean

Highly recommend the ocean front view It’s on the less busy area of Waikiki but was still pretty busy You could hear street noise from the lanai, but I think that no matter where you stay, that will happen It was quieter then further north which seemed to be more of a Las Vegas atmosphere If you prefer less commotion, Park Shore is perfect The hotel itself was very nice and clean We were offered cleaning services everyday The ABC store in the hotel was very convenient and had everything you could possibly need The front desk staff and bell service were very friendly and on point I would definitely stay here again

Christina R

I stayed at the Park Shore Waikiki for 3 nights in late March 2022 Staff were very friendly and helpful Location was great, directly across the road from Waikiki beach and the view from my room overlooking Diamond Head was amazing, however, I would not recommend staying at this hotel

The air-conditioning in my room was incredibly noisy The walls were very thin – I could hear everything going on in the rooms surrounding mine Styrofoam cups were provided for coffee but no glasses or cutlery were provided (this would have been an added convenience) The room wasn’t very clean either There were cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling and hair in the shower The worst thing though was that the water in my shower would not heat up so I ended up having 3 cold showers for my three nights at this hotel! I reported it to the front desk and maintenance was sent to my room I was told by maintenance that I would have to let the water run for about 3-5 minutes before it warmed up The next morning I let the water run for 15 minutes and it never warmed up This was very disappointing I really wanted to like this hotel It was very convenient for a quick stopover in Hawaii and the views were amazing, however it was let down by poor maintenance and poor cleanliness
