Top Waikiki Hotel Reviews

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki

8/10 Good

"The rooms were too hot. It the price and location were great."

Prince Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"The property as a whole was emacculate. The staff was cleaning the hotel early every morning, the lobby, elevators, escalators and any everything you can see and not see. The room and the staff was amazing. I have no complaints, well maybe just one. I wish they had an adults only hot tub, to many kids and the hot tub is not that large."

The Twin Fin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location. Staff very helpful and friendly. Property Reno was ok. Um. Seemed like inexperienced people renovated it. Sloppy workmanship. Beds were very comfortable. Linen very clean. Pool seemed um old and well needed a good scrubbing. Almost like the rooms need a proper Reno not just a quick paint but proper new tub, sink, doors, etc. But I have stayed better and stayed worse places. But for the price and the location I would stay again. Right across the beach so perfect location."

Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Let me start by saying that the Ilikai is the best hotel I’ve chosen for a vacation so far! We absolutely loved our stay, from the location to the wonderful staff. Marie went above and beyond to help us resolve a few issues, and Chester was always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. Their kindness really made a difference in our experience. The location is perfect! It’s close enough to everything but far enough away from the crowds to enjoy a quieter, more relaxing stay. Many tour companies also offer pickup right from the hotel, which is super convenient. I had considered staying next door at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but I’m so glad we chose the Ilikai. The village is fun, especially if you have younger kids, but our son is 14 and really enjoyed the Ilikai and its more relaxed atmosphere. A few helpful tips for your stay: * If you want to spend a day enjoying Hilton Hawaiian Village, you can purchase a day pass for around $30, which gives you access to the pools and discounts at participating restaurants. * You can rent beach umbrellas regardless of which hotel you’re staying at, and the lagoon is open to everyone. * Goofy Cafe & Dine is amazing! Their kalua pig eggs Benedict are delicious. 😊 * Don’t miss Lappert’s Ice Cream at the village. It’s a must! * Ala Moana Center and Sam’s Club (great for souvenirs!) are only about a 10-minute walk away. * Waikiki Beach is about a 25-minute walk, but we stopped for coffee along the way, so it didn’t feel nearly as far."

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location close to beaches and restaurants. The staff was extremely helpful in all areas as you navigate your Waikīkī experience. The pool experience was equipped with rooftop pool views and our favorite pool bartender Addy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️was an amazing she is a super five star hit!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would definitely recommend staying there again!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
