The location was very good, facing Kalakaua Avenue, slightly closer to Diamond Head in the center of Waikiki, with the nearest trolley and bus stops, and plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby. There was a Japanese-speaking counter and staff, so I had no trouble with English and it was very comfortable. Since it was a commemorative trip for our silver wedding anniversa...

Beach towels, beach chairs that can be borrowed without hesitation, water bottles provided in the room, and a water dispenser in the lobby. Everything you need to head to the beach right in front of the hotel is available. The room is reasonably spacious and clean, and although it was a city view room, the pool and restaurant on the shared deck on the third floor offer...
I stayed for 8 nights! The staff were always cheerful, bright, and kind! There were no staff who spoke Japanese, but it was not an issue. Daily cleaning was provided, and it was clean; the water dispenser on the first floor was very handy. I brought my own washing machine and kettle since they weren't available. The nearby Hilton Lagoon also delighted the kids. The poo...
The location is at the edge of Waikiki, but it's within walking distance to the center of Waikiki. There's a bus stop nearby, food trucks, and an ABC store close by, and Waikiki Beach is also within walking distance, making it convenient. Hotels in Waikiki are expensive, but I felt this hotel offered good value for money. I arrived early, but my room was ready, so I wa...
The service may not meet Japanese standards, but there are friendly staff, clean towels and sheets, and shuttle services available. You can take a bus for $3 to Pearl Harbor, Waikiki, and Ala Moana, and the location is good as it is close to the airport with pancake shops and delicious pizza places within walking distance. The room was cool with air conditioning when I...
I stayed for 3 nights at the Hyatt Regency and was satisfied in every way! The location is right in front of Waikiki Beach, and there are many good restaurants nearby, which was really nice. First of all, I had a standard room, and the room was very spacious, and the bed was large enough for me and my child to sleep comfortably. The swimming pool is open until late a...
The hotel is not directly in front of Waikiki Beach, but it is close to the Magic Island beach and park next to it. It is a satisfying location for snorkeling and swimming, and it is also great for shopping. The hotel itself is clean and the staff is friendly. The breakfast service is also good. The pool offers a very beautiful view in the evening.
While looking for a staycation destination with my pet, I found this hotel. From check-in, my dog was warmly welcomed, and the stay began with great excitement. The partial ocean view room was spacious, clean, and the scenery was fantastic. As a Japanese person, I was surprised and pleased to find a washlet, slippers, and toothbrush provided. They also brought a small ...
This time, I booked a large luxury ocean room with a view of Diamond Head from the room. It was spacious enough for three people to enjoy comfortably, and soaking in the bathtub was fantastic. Fortunately, I was able to check in just after 11 am because the room was available. The location is the best. The view from the window was just as I had wanted.

The accommodation is clean and feels like a domestic business hotel. The bathroom is quite spacious, and the amenities are neat! The staff members are very friendly and provide good guidance. I came here for work at the convention center, which wasn't far enough to require transportation, and I could walk to Waikiki too, saving a lot on transportation costs. Even if yo...
It was my first time in Hawaii in six years, and it was his first time. Since we were there, we chose an oceanfront room, and it was amazing! The photo shows the view from our room! On Friday, we could see the Hilton fireworks, and on Saturday, there was a parade right below our room, so we were able to watch it well. The building shows some age, but the room was clean...
I had booked a Tap Tower room, but I was upgraded to the Rainbow Tower for free. They had just renovated it two years ago, so the interior was beautiful and the view was, of course, amazing. I was staying with my 9-year-old and 5-year-old who shared a bed, and the room with two queen beds was spacious enough. There was no noise, and it was comfortable. If I had to say ...
The moment I entered the room, it felt like a different world. If you're going to stay, I highly recommend staying with an ocean view. The scenery is beautifully heavenly, and both the sofa and bed are plush and comfortable; I wanted to spend all my time in this space. There are many delicious restaurants nearby, and a target is close, making it convenient for buying s...
It was interesting to happen to be there on the day of the Honolulu Half Marathon, as there were runners around. The reception was very good, and the room was larger than I expected. I wonder if they put us on the 14th floor because we mentioned it was a honeymoon, even though it was a standard room. Thank you for that. The soundproofing between the neighboring rooms i...
In terms of location, the accessibility to the airport (20-30 minutes), Waikiki Beach, local markets, grocery stores (Target), and restaurants is very good. Parking fees are a concern. This is a place worth considering for your next trip.
The location and room size were very satisfying. Above all, the view from the room's lanai was upgraded to an ocean view, which was fantastic. The only downside was that the divider with the neighboring room was just a door with a lock, and the noise from the adjacent room was quite disturbing and hindered my sleep. Other than that, everything was great, so I think it...
This was my first time staying here (603). The room had a queen bed, a sofa, a table, a refrigerator, and a microwave. I stayed for 6 days. It was one street behind Kalakaua. From the lanai (without chairs, etc.), I could see a little bit of the ocean. Maybe because it’s November, there was no air conditioning. I was able to spend time with the window wide open. There ...
I chose a room with an ocean view. I didn't have high expectations, but the view was surprisingly good because it was open in front, and I could see the ocean very well. The room was spacious enough, and there were no issues with the water facilities. You can fill up water in the lobby, so it's convenient to bring a bottle. Beach towels are also available for free. S...
Since I was with my elderly mother, I prioritized location (to make it easy to navigate even if we got lost). The place was easy to find, and the International Market Place was nearby. Crossing over to Kuhio Street allowed us to quickly access restaurants and markets, which was great. Since it was around New Year's, prices were high everywhere, but considering the loca...
We had the pleasure of staying here while we were in town for a friend’s wedding. My wife and I shared the room with a bed and our friend stayed on the pullout couch. There was ample privacy between the rooms. Big callouts are the ocean view, full kitchen, in unit washer dryer and easy check in/out process. We’ll definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. On...
◎Location… The sea, shopping district, and bus stop are all within walking distance. ◎Room size… It was a room for three people, but it was quite spacious. ◎Room facilities… There were cooking utensils such as a microwave, coffee maker, electric kettle, pots, dishes, and knives. ◎Unit bath… It had shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and a shallow bathtub. ◎View fr...
Always the best! The location, the view from the window, delicious restaurants, an elegant club, and kind and friendly staff! Once you know how great Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort is, you can't help but come back. I'll be back next year to say "I'm back!" again.
It was very beautiful. The simple breakfast being free was a great help. The staff were all kind. The cleaning was also done properly. I booked a spacious room, so it felt roomy to use. My room didn't have a washlet, and there was only an overhead shower. There are only two elevators, so you have to wait during busy times. Since I was on the sixth floor, I used the sta...
The W-line bus stop to the airport is right in front. There are many restaurants and other amenities around, making it convenient. I stayed on the 7th floor, and the Wi-Fi was comfortable to use. The shower's water pressure was a bit weak, but there were no issues with temperature control or drainage. There are small gift vouchers provided every morning. The room was s...
This hotel is recommended even for a first trip to Honolulu! Location: There are many hotels around, and there are plenty of bus stops and restaurants nearby. The beach is right in front, and you can easily access it during fireworks events. Hotel Information: There are staff members who speak Japanese, which was reassuring. We arrived around noon, and they were able...
I chose this hotel because it was cheap and convenient with mileage travel, but it turned out to be in a great location right in front of the W line bus stop and the Pink line also stops nearby. The room was spacious enough for a solo traveler, and the towels and other amenities were clean. I had been frustrated with the smell of towels in Japanese hotels recently, so ...
We stayed for 3 nights in a city view room with 3 people. The good points were that the bus stop and Waikiki Beach are nearby, making it a great location. There are a few staff members who can speak Japanese, which is helpful. The room was clean. The bad points were that the shower was very weak and we could hear loud party music and voices from the hotel across the ro...

This was a family trip with two adult sons and four people in total. There was early check-in, and a complimentary service of up to two cocktails or beers per person. The mattress on the sofa bed was terrible and caused pain all over my body. However, the quality of the queen bed was good, and the room was spacious and comfortable since it was a junior suite. Although ...

On the first day of our honeymoon, we slept in, but there was a pub on the first floor, and they also gave us two complimentary drinks. There was a swimming pool, and since it was our honeymoon, they gave us nice gifts too. The facilities were great, and there was a canal nearby that was nice for walking, so I think we'll use it again next time.
There are various places that need repairs, such as the closet door being broken and the outlet being shaky, but the hot water and water pressure are both good, they change the towels, and they do a thorough job with bed-making. The main concerns are that there are no restrooms on the lobby floor and that there is no ventilation fan in the shower room. Old hotels usual...

The beach is nearby, and key spots are within walking distance, making it a great location. The Ala Moana Shopping Center is far but not a problem. The room is very spacious, old but clean, and gives an elegant feeling. The only downside is that there is no table in the room, so you'll need to be creative with what you have. The frequently mentioned "air conditioner no...
It was accessible and clean. We considered cleanliness and accessibility to be the most important, and at this price, I believe it is above average for Hawaii..! I recommend it for those who will be renting a car and engaging in many outdoor activities rather than for its facilities. Most Waikiki hotels are quite old and don't set high expectations, but when compared ...

The entrance of the hotel is a bit plain, but the retro feel and lovely rooms make me like it. The detergent is a little strong, so my hands are dry. There are two chairs at the counter. I'm staying alone, so it's very comfortable. I've brought items I bought at a nearby supermarket, as well as freeze-dried curries and risottos from Amano Foods in Japan. I read...
There is quite a distance to Waikiki, but the pink line and bus stops are almost right in front, so there are no issues if you use them! The staff are all kind, and the cleaning is well done, so I never thought it was dirty! If I had to say anything, I think having a balcony would make a difference in the sense of fulfillment, so I plan to book a room with a balcony wh...
We stayed in 3 rooms with 7 people. We chose this place for its convenient location and the view of Diamond Head, and we were very satisfied with those aspects. However, it seems there are both hotel-operated rooms and apartments rented out by the owner, and the room we stayed in was the latter. If we encountered any issues, we were only given a phone number to call ...

Since it's just one station by train to Honolulu Airport, I think it's okay for those who want to relax on the way back to stay over. As for tourist sites, it's convenient as you can reach Pearl Harbor by both train and bus. The hotel has an American style, so there is no bathtub, only a shower. The kindness of the staff, who were very helpful even though I can't speak...
I am very satisfied and the swimming pool is nice. I was even more satisfied with being on a lower floor compared to other high floors, the landscaping with the trees was very well done, and the overall concept had a satisfactory interior design for the price, including the bedding and bathroom. I am willing to revisit.
The original owner family used to own the ranch, and many old ranch landscapes and cowboy photos are displayed, which is lovely. The facilities are somewhat old, but they are clean and there are no significant issues. The interior has a retro feel that evokes a sense of nostalgia. The location is right next to the Ala Wai Canal, with Ala Moana Center nearby and Waikiki...

An old but well-maintained room. Having a kitchen was convenient, and if assigned a high floor, the view is excellent. Especially, the staff is very friendly, which makes you feel good at the start of the day. Thanks to the free beach towels and coffee provided in the morning, I was able to travel more comfortably. I recommend it if you need a price advantage for lo...

It was difficult to find accommodation since we were traveling with both sets of parents and a child. During our search, we found the Pacific Monarch Hotel and made a reservation, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The price was affordable compared to other nearby hotels, yet the rooms were much larger and more comfortable. The rooms for both sets of parents...
The room was a bit cramped for three people. Due to the shape of the building, all the rooms have an irregular layout. However, the oceanfront room's satisfaction level is so high that it easily outweighs these negatives. In particular, the transparent railing of the lanai (balcony) allowed us to fully enjoy the Hawaiian scenery. On the first floor, there is a microwav...
The condominium in the city is in a very convenient location, close to bus stops with many routes. It has a pool, jacuzzi, gym, and a BBQ area that are all well-equipped. You can easily walk to Waikiki Beach. It's highly recommended for long stays. The staff also provided very pleasant service. The only downside was that my room didn't have a kitchen sink, so I deducte...
This is my second stay here. The room, bathroom, and balcony are spacious, and the air conditioning (Mitsubishi) is new, making the interior comfortable. The bedding is clean, and the bed was pleasant. In any case, the price is very cheap, and it includes breakfast, plus it's a short walk to Waikiki. It was easy to go buy drinking water. Parking is valet parking only, ...
The location was great, and the staff were very friendly. It’s a hotel with excellent value for money. If you're using a rental car, it's good to inform the hotel early on the day you bring the rental car. If you mention it late and there's a shortage of parking space that day, you may have to find a place to park nearby.
Our family of four had a wonderful 7-night stay at the Ilima Hotel. The room was spacious enough for the whole family to stay comfortably, and the bed was firm in just the right way — I slept well all week with no back discomfort. Having a full kitchen was a huge plus; being able to prepare family meals saved on dining costs and made it much easier to feed the kids. On...
It's been two years since I last used it, but it's about a 10-minute walk to Ala Moana Shopping Center, and there's a Walmart nearby. The reception is kind and friendly. I received a breakfast discount ticket, and the hotel's designated menu is recommended for a light meal at US$5 plus tip. I traveled alone, but it would also be good for a family.
The service may not meet Japanese standards, but there are friendly staff, clean towels and sheets, and shuttle services available. You can take a bus for $3 to Pearl Harbor, Waikiki, and Ala Moana, and the location is good as it is close to the airport with pancake shops and delicious pizza places within walking distance.

I go to Hawaii every year, but since my destination is the Big Island, I only stay in Waikiki (Oahu) for one night due to the departure time of my return flight. It's basically just for sleeping, but safety is always a priority. Additionally, it should be clean and have comfortable amenities like a bathroom and air conditioning. It should also be conveniently located f...
It's nice to be able to relax on the balcony. The air conditioning works well, and there are plenty of outlets, which is great. There is no coffee machine in the kitchen. There is no detergent or sponge, so it's good to bring your own. I'm happy with the coffee, water, and popcorn service on the first floor. The location is also just one road from Waikiki, making it ea...

We stayed as a couple. We were impressed by the consideration shown by the staff at the front desk, in the room, and by the pool. It is close to the beach, and you can walk there in your swimsuit.

I stayed on the day of the Honolulu Festival. From the lanai of my room, I could watch the sunset. I was able to see the Long Beach fireworks on the last day of the festival right in front of me, and I also got to see the parade. It has the best location with an ocean view.
