Top Waikiki Aquarium Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Location was excellent, close to everywhere, the ocean view room was excellent."

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, nice room, helpful staff, comfortable beds, decent breakfast."

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Outdoor pool"

Queen Kapiolani Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I spent 7 days 6 nights here! The staff were so welcoming! We got the king diamond head room w/ balcony, it was perfect for 2 people. My only complaint is that I was able to hear a little bit of the street noise since I was on the 4th floor. Other than that everything was perfect! The housekeeping members were very kind and responsive. We ate at the Deck, highly recommend the sliders and drinks! I also enjoyed coffee every other day at their cafe located in the 1st floor! Highly recommend this place for its location and price!"

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Great location."

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

8/10 Good

"we loved the breakfast and the staff were very helpful"

Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head

8/10 Good

"Loved the location of this property. Although it was on the outskirts of Waikiki, the area felt more intimate and less touristy, more of a boutique hotel. We decided to forego the car rental and spent some time getting to know the bus system; we were able to reach most restaurants and shopping centers without too much issue. Across the way from public tennis courts, within walking distance to the aquarium & zoo, Waikiki & beach. Pros: On-site free laundry machine use. Microwave/refrigerator in room. Quiet location with rooster alarms and wild green parrots living in adjacent trees. "Free nightly" glass of wine at their upscale restaurant. One block to the quiet end of Waikiki beach. Cons: Restaurant is closed Mon-Wed, so no wine on those days lol. No bidet...boo. No pool, but there is a spa on site."

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We traveled with our 12 year old daughter and she even enjoyed this hotel. The location was perfect allowing great dining options and access to amazing shopping. The amenities on the property were fantastic. Pools, spas, towels, and the options to rent chairs, umbrellas, and cabanas. We booked the Malia suite but were upgraded to the Kai due to overbooking. The suite was amazing and I would absolutely book this room again. Beautiful balconies with scenic views, a great living room area and a large bathroom and bedroom."

Waikiki Circle Hotel By Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Will be staying again in the future."
