The location is excellent and very convenient for transportation
Had a great stay! The staff were super welcoming and efficient, and the room was both comfortable and spotless. I’ll definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Waikiki."
The balcony was a great bonus, especially when there was live music by the pool. We could relax on the balcony, enjoy the view, and listen to the music right from our room.
Such a perfectly located hotel. Just a few minutes away from everything you might need or want to see! Staff and guest were all friendly and respectful.
Only down fall is being on the 3rd floor and no elevator, staff also did not offer to help take up our luggage or mention there was no elevator to get to our room.
This is the second time we stayed. Affordable, clean, great pool, awesome bar, amazing staff, inviting, welcoming! Towels, boogie boards, chairs and umbrellas for free use. Great happy hour perks and deals. Our only spot to stay when in Honolulu!
The staff is so kind and helpful. The location is an easy walk to Waikiki Beach. The amenities are maintained. Its honestly the cutest and best cost effective option for travelers looking for a place to stay thats accessible to all the Waikiki hot spots. Highly recommend!
We loved staying there and will again. I was disappointed that the information said drip coffee was available but we had to buy it and have americanos..
We loved the pool, bar and restaurant! So good!!
Staff were really helpful. We came off the cruise that was affected by the hurricane and helped us settle in. Let us enjoy the hotel after check out, since our flight was a red eye. Just a very personable staff.
Super cute place however the pool did not seem to get deep cleaned the whole time I was there and I was there 6days and it seemed like the filter wasn’t really doing its job. The check in staff super nice. The rooms did the job. The location was great for everything we had planned.
We had such a great stay at White Sands Hotel! The location was perfect, just a short walk to Waikiki Beach, restaurants, shopping, and everything we wanted to explore.
The hotel has such a cute, tropical retro vibe and honestly felt like a little hidden oasis in the middle of Waikiki. We especially loved the pool area and the fun swing bar it was such a nice place to relax after a day of exploring. The staff were also friendly and welcoming throughout our stay.
Our room was comfortable and having a balcony was a nice touch. The hotel isn’t a huge luxury resort, but for the location, atmosphere, and overall experience, we thought it was a great choice!
Really great hotel for the price. It’s an older building so there’s no elevator and carrying your bags to the 3rd floor isn’t fun. The staff helped with the bags on the way up. Parking/valet is not as smooth as it could be because the valet is across the street and they stop taking cars at a certain time so we had to go to a different lot. The rooms are spacious and the ac works well. Beds were comfy and staff was nice. I would stay here again
Checking in to the hotel was a smooth process and the staff was very helpful! The room was very clean. The bar staff was kind and the drinks were amazing! Poolside is perfect to sit during the day and the hotel is perfectly placed by the international Waikiki market to roam around during the day and nighttime.
The property was definatly old and had no elevator but it was well upgraded and maintained. We did see one cockroach outside but its the tropics and the did have pest control in the next day.
Also want to give a huge shout out to Sean Paul who checked us in. He was so helpful and recomended some great foods spots!
Honestly, this place was a 10 out of 10 for me beautiful location, beautiful Bar, rooms were wonderful and clean. Staff was friendly. Definitely going back.
We stayed for 6 days and 5 nights, and we liked the place overall. The staff was very friendly during the check-in and checkout process. They made sure we're comfortable and we have what we need during our stay. The room was spacious, just the way we like it. It's worth the price. I like how they did housekeeping every day to make sure our room was clean. I recommend this place for people who don't want to spend money on expensive hotels. Especially if you always go out to explore Oahu.
The staff were very nice and welcoming. Absolutely loved my stay. One of my favorite hotels I've ever stayed at. The swings at the bar were my favorite! Will ce back again just for the hotel! ☺️
The hotel bar is supper cool. The staff was amazing and everything you would need is within walking distance. I brisk walk to the beach is also amazing. I would stay here again
