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!

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

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

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!!

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!

Location was so convenient! 1 minute walk to shops, restaurants, and shaved ice and 3 minute walk to the beach Complementary breakfast was excellent and so much more than most hotels offer Made to order omelette bar was a nice perk

Go before 8am and it won’t be busy at all Valet parking was an added expense but honestly so nice! Service was quick and it was great to just take the elevator down and have your car pulled up right there Pool area is perfect for kids! Deepest part is only 4 feet with a tanning ledge and toddler area so all of my kids could swim safely Pool area is really cool especially at night with all the lights and tiki torches plus tons of seating It was nice to have the bars near the pool so I could enjoy a drink while watching my kids swim Every employee we encountered was extremely kind and helpful Would highly recommend especially for families

Tara Bohle

The hotel is awesome The location is perfect! A block away from the beach, just downstairs there’s nice shops to look at and good restaurants You would be happy staying here and experiencing the pool and other things they offer

Breakfast is huge and plentiful, large selection that changes day to day from fried rice, taquitos, omelets, scrambled eggs, granola, yogurt, fruit, bacon, sausage, french toast, pancakes and way way more! Food is great at night there’s free drinks and chips which is nice, heated pool is perfect temp morning or night Also a hot tub and kids pool is nice Pool guy super helpful, same with bell desk, they have cabs and limos (same cost) waiting in the lobby couldn’t have been better!

Britni Nic

We first arrived and the staff was really helpful and attentive Our rooms were clean and really spacious The breakfast bar was amazing!! The pool was clean and had a pool attendant at all times

Walking distance to shopping food activities and the beach Probably my best experience staying in a hotel at the beach Again, the hospitality we felt from the staff deserves the 5 stars 🙂

Beautiful hotel with great views, above and beyond friendly staff, dolphins, and a beach The outside looks very dated but the room was very nice Sure, some more updates are needed as older but it’s wonderful inside

Room is great and the lobby is prettyThe food by pool and drinks were great The beach was nice and calm to swim but can’t swim out too far and can’t snorkel there Staff again is so friendly and helpful and I wish we were staying longerLoved the dolphins and walking by them Our view was amazingHoku’s is amazing and I’ll be going back

Been Jammin

Excellent staff Kids love this place Eating dinner on balcony/falling asleep ten feet from dolphins

Also this resort is non smoking and there’s no smoke coming from the outside in I stayed somewhere in Waikiki and was destroyed by cigarette smoke every time I opened a window Not here!!This is the best place on Oahu

Bethany T.

My husband and I stayed at the Kahala during our recent trip to Oahu, and were beyond impressed with the service we received Upon checking in, we met Carolyn who was an absolute delight and so kind to us We laughed throughout the entire check in process! Sean from Seaside Grille was very kind and just easy to talk with

All staff members were incredibly conscious of Covid-19 and took extraordinary precautions I would say my favorite thing about The Kahala though was the step-above they take for their guests Mahalo, Kahala Hotel for an incredibly clean, well-cared for hotel room

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

Beakers hotel, is very old, and you can see it in construction, design and efficiencyWith that being said, I still give it five starsThe staff is nice, the rooms are clean and came with a miniature kitchen/ dishes(microwave, electric stove top)

The balcony has no view but it’s a nice Hideaway to be outside and read a book or chill The pool is clean and beautiful located in the courtyard Right out side the door is a ABC convenience store and a shaved ice shop The beach is about two blocks away free parking is extremely limited And the shopping is walking distance The zoo is about a good walk away

Will Boelts

My wife and I could not have had a better experience at The Breakers The location was perfect – only a half a block to Waikiki Beach The room we stayed in was delightfully vintage and absolutely spotless and the housekeepers were very attentive throughout our whole stay

The front desk staff made us feel welcome throughout our whole stay We really feel we couldn’t have picked a better place to spend a week in Honolulu ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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!

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

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!

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

I absolutely loved my stay here at the Sheraton Waikiki Service from all staff members was exceptional From the time that we checked in until we checked out

I didn’t get my room service in my room but the housekeeping would leave fresh towels at my door daily when we placed the old towels outside our door…The convenience of this property is awesome If you’re looking to shop, it’s right there, the beach, it’s right there and all the restaurants within walking distance of the property There’s also some great restaurants on propertyAnd the pools were not too crowded and the beach was definitely not to crowded Get there a little early so you and get a good spot to lay out or rent you some chairs with an umbrella for the dayLastly, I have stayed at a lot of Marriott properties, this was one of the best The views, the food, the service and the location made this an outstanding and very relaxing stay

Carmen Yau

Our family of 3 had a really fabulous time at Sheraton Waikiki We love the pool and hotel complimentary activities very much Our room was very clean and housekeeping service was excellent

Shout out to Imelda who clean our room for the week, she went above and beyond to provide what we need and change our dirty towels for us We are all very happy with the stay The ocean view was fantastic and worth for the upgrade We had many meals with the nice view in our balcony

Mikey T

This is coming from a Texas point of view The hotel service was horrible, I understand your on island time, but hardly anyone that comes and stays in Waikiki is on island time Lunch at one of the places inside by the pool with only 3 tables sat down took us 45 min to get our food and it was wrong

Separate from that, the hotel treats everyone like criminals asking for passes every 2 seconds , masked, ids to move two steps The customer service is far from good for a Sheraton hotel, not even sub par Everything is extremely overpriced 25 dollars for a makers and coke in a tall glass at rum fire The rooms are very small, the bathrooms don’t look very classy at all The view is the only good part The view with all these bad things will not get me past 1 star If I wanted to vacation with super strict rules, I would go stay at my mothers place Not worth the trip

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!

We’re staying at the Hilton Waikiki village hotel and it’s beautiful Upon our arrival we checked out the tours and activities desk and made arrangements for a sail cruise We were offered a discount if we attended a presentation “a sales pitch” to hear about their members club to become an owner for their vacation club resort

We attended the presentation not to mention we gave away 2 hrs away from our vacation time Presentation was smooth, agents were so nice until we said no to their offer Their whole personalities changed They were no longer nice or accommodating You could tell they were bothered at the fact that their pitch was turned down Not to mention they tell you there’s no pressure when going into the presentation But yet they pretty much look angry if you don’t walk out saying yes These people get paid to do these presentations I understand it’s their time too but it’s their job They need to be more understanding when it comes to visitors We’re giving up time we could be doing other things instead of being a chair for 2 hrs listening to a sales pitch to only get a bad reaction once it’s all overCynthia you were awesome and polite until we said no and then you could tell it’s all fake As well as the other young lady who came in after you who was suppose to only do a survey but instead just threw another sales pitch Pleasant until she heard a no They need to learn how to be respectful even their sales pitch wasn’t successful

CJ Simmons

Purchased room with ocean view If you leaned out the window you could see the marina…not exactly ocean view Staff used the elevators with their carts during peak hours, we waited multiple times for 15+ minutes, each time a car would stop, it was full of staff

Expect to pay, room rate plus $44 resort fee, $45 taxes and $65 parking each day Your $249 room is actually $400 Just FYI Our room, we were also lucky enough to share it with the elevators Very loud and very annoying Lagoon tower is garbage in my opinion Staff were very friendly, restaurants were good Super busy

E

The front desk attendants were exceptional! Sherry and Yuko were so welcoming and knowledgeable about the surrounding area for dining needs The location is perfect and proximal to the beach and shopping centers Very family friendly or solo traveler friendly

My only complaint was the room, which they quickly and professionally addressed Would recommend for any business or leisure trip

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!

What a beautiful property! From the doorman in the front to the managers, one of my favorite ! This property has the most amazing views, from all corners! The rooms are breathtaking, and all updated for the best and easiest experience! Turndown service was prompt and efficient, the staff always tip top! The rooftop pool and jacuzzi, so fun -especially in the eveningmy kids loved it

I stayed here this week from June 14th to June 18th, 2021im excited to tell everyone how great it was If you have a chance to meet RALPH, on of the managersthis young star is all about a great experience! We got thirsty one night, and asked for some water, and the super friendly lady brought us buckets fullshe was so pleasant and prompt, I will NEVER forget her The general manager and his staff, actually came to my room on the last day and actually thanked me for my staywho does this?? Yep, this was a class act, 5 stars all day My family enjoyed it, we all loved it My family prefers Maui over Honolulu , so we will probably not be back to this area for a while, but if ever do- for sure we will reach out to these superstars here!! I recommend them and their amazing property, all day!!! Mahalo!!

I spent my wedding weekend here for two nights and I wanted to stay forever The three bedrooms were perfect for the bride, groom, and wedding party of 14 to get ready There was a door that could be swung closed in the hallway to separate the 2k+ square foot space

It was also perfect because it was very luxurious, peaceful, and secluded — a rarity these days There were no footsteps running down the hall nor loud speaking individuals whose voices would echo off in the distance Looking back, I may have gone deaf and not know it Everything was blissful and ridiculously awesome Pretty much everything in the room was comped, so I didn’t have to worry about anyone consuming something they shouldn’t, and be slapped with an inflated bill later
The only downside was that the sauna wasn’t working yet That’s right, there’s a sauna beyond the shower in one of the bathrooms I wanted to sweat out the toxins from the night before, but I ended up hopping in the jacuzzi instead Next time I come back, I am looking forward to using the sauna and being straight pampered by the staff They are seriously A+, having gone above and beyond to make it the most memorable weekend of my life! ♥️

Ashley Brown

Excellent The staff was over the top friendly, helpful, and accommodating; the rooms, finishes, pool, and amenities are gorgeous and exceptionally clean Shari, Ralph, and Wesley (and the rest of the staff) were phenomenal

One example of the excellent service: I don’t eat gluten, so they went to a health food store to pick up fresh GF baked goods for me for breakfast every morning The location is in the heart of Waikiki beach so there is a bit of traffic noise, but since it was only the two of us, we just slept in the rear bedroom away from the street where it was very quiet The rooftop pool and jacuzzi provide an unobstructed panoramic view of the ocean, sunset, and surfers Thank you Espacio for providing an incredible experience and making our time in Hawaii unforgettable- we will without a doubt be back Fellow travelers: if you’re on the fence about staying here, just do it, you will not be disappointed

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

I would like to personally thank Chris and Ben of the Front Desk for wiping my tears away and making this a vacation of a lifetime The hotel is old but the rooms have been updated and look really nice The hotel staff will do everything they can to make your stay pleasurable

The location is awesome! I would highly recommend this hotel and will return next year If you can please try to book a oceanfront suite on a high floor The views are amazing, there is truly something magical at the Royal Hawaiiansuite on a high floor The oceanfront views are amazing The breakfast dishes were delicious

I had a perfect stayI appreciated the staff so much They were top notch and made our stay amazing

They were knowledgeable and so helpful The hotel is super clean and gorgeous and the location is fantastic We were close to everything and as a resort guest you could reserve great beach umbrella/seats to relax Everything is in walking distance and the live music at night was beautiful

Jessica Airel

I’ll start by saying the staff deserves 5 stars They are helpful and friendly and really made the trip enjoyable My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and the staff was quick to upgrade our room to a higher floor, and gave us a voucher for 2 free drinks and pastries at the bakery, both were very tasty

This was our first time staying at a 5 star hotel, and I honestly didn’t see a difference between a lower star hotel and this one I was surprised to find that with the price we paid to stay here, nothing was included in our stay Not even breakfast When we went to get breakfast our first day, I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw they wanted like $3200 for a basic omelet, and the food menu in general is teeny tiny If you wanted beach chairs, you had to rent them at $6000 a day, which is insaneThe walls to the rooms are paper thin I was woken up every single day at 6 am by guests yelling to each other, and was woken up several times after midnight because someone thought it was appropriate to blast a harry potter movie So quiet times are definitely not enforced here  And even if someone was having a conversation at a normal volume, we heard that loud and clear as wellIf you want to view this beautiful historic hotel, I would suggest staying elsewhere and walk around it for a bit We did have a nice stay in Hawaii, but I wouldn’t stay here again, I would go back to staying in a 3 star hotel because I honestly saw no difference between here or a 3 star hotel

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
