Featuring a full-service spa and an outdoor pool facility with dining service, Ka La'i Waikiki Beach is less than 5 minutes' walk from the beach. WiFi is included in daily resort fee.

I love this hotel because of its excellent location and the outstanding service provided by the manager. As a regular customer, I truly appreciate their hospitality and attentiveness. They have always been willing to assist with any issues I’ve had, especially accommodating my back issues by ensuring a suitable bed. Additionally, they go the extra mile by offering me a free upgrade whenever available, which makes my stays even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Just 1 block from Waikiki Beach, Renew offers a 50-inch flat-screen TV in every modern room.

Everything. Nice boutique hotel, EXCELLENT location, wonderful staff. One of the best hotel experiences I have had, and I have travelled a lot the last couple years and previously in my job before I retired.

Featuring 2 exotic pools and beautiful views of the ocean, The Modern Honolulu stands next to the sands of Waikiki Beach.

Good shuttle bus service between hotel and airport (between certain times). Room very comfortable and clean and check in/out staff efficient and friendly. Continental breakfast selection good and they also had tea which was a bonus.

VIVE Hotel Waikiki is a 100% non-smoking boutique hotel, just 4 minutes’ walk from Waikiki Beach, offers free WiFi and modern guest rooms with mountain, city or ocean views.

This property has a brilliant location, is a 3 minute walk to the beach, bus stops outside the hotel, the lobby has a dinning area with 24 hr access to filtered water, ice, tea and coffee making facilities as well as a microwave. The hotel provides daily breakfast, and I requested a jug for my room. A couple of times I left before breakfast was open and the lovely reception staff organised an early breakfast take away. Thank you Rachel, Quintin, Cory, Roger and Princess for your assistance. Reception is staffed 24/7, all of the staff are incredibly helpful.

Just a 10-minute walk from Fort Derussy Beach Park, this modern Honolulu hotel features an outdoor pool and a sauna. Its suites are equipped with a flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi.

Staff are lovely and location perfect. Royal Gardens is walking distance to everywhere! No need to take the Trolley to Ala Moana - it’s a 25m walk to the centre - from your door to Macy’s. It’s 10 minutes in the other direction to the best Poke Bar at Waikiki Beach Walk and an easy 15 minutes to Ross Dress For Less at Seaside Ave. All the buses stop on Kuhio only 200m away to take you to Diamond Head or Bishops Museum or Arizona Memorial or Ala Moana. Perfect!

    Loved the central location - it's literally across the road from the International Marketplace shopping mall. There's valet parking and valet staff are super helpful and proactive. The hotel is new - they opened in June 2024 so the facilities are great and new. Bathroom is of a modern design. The beds are super comfy - we had one of our best sleeps here. Staff are friendly and they provide free refillable water bottles plus the ambience and interior design is quite fresh and modern.

    100% perfect location. Right across Waikiki beach. Perfekt view from the balcony, too. And Congratulations to the interior designer, we loved the colors and underwater motives. The free reusable waterbottle is a nice idea and a lovely souvenir. Room and bathroom are small, but hey, who spends time in the room in Waikiki? Highly recommend for a easy going beach vacation.

    Located right in the heart of Waikiki, this hotel is a more affordable option compared with hotels closer to the beach, and is better in just about every other respect: cool vibe, hip furnishings, young friendly staff, excellent restaurant and bar, a good cafe next door serving decent flat whites, nice design (retro motel feel around a central swimming pool but with sweet music, and even market stalls one evening). Stay back from the over-commercialised beach strip and you get a better deal and more atmosphere.

    Great renovation of an obviously daggy old hotel. Interior designers to be credited. Majority of staff were pleasant. Clean and neat. Check in seemed to be unorganised and don’t expect to get in early! Location is a short stroll from all the fun. Everything is a walk or cheap Uber away.

    The hotel was very nicely put together. The interior design was fantastic with lots of details that really made it feel like a 5 star experience. The pool, loungers and bar were a great outdoor space with the bar seat swings bringing a lot of joy to many!
