Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Hotel was nice, construction was happening and they charge $150 for a roll away bed"

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Sheraton Waikiki! The views were beautiful, and the location was fantastic—everything we wanted to do in Waikiki was within walking distance. Our lower-floor oceanfront room made getting around easy, with very little elevator waiting. The pools were a highlight, and the waterslide was so much fun! Our reserved chaise lounge at the Edge pool was worth it: close to the water, plenty of shade, and great service. We watched turtles swimming around while in the infinity pool. HinaHina was great for both breakfast and lunch. We also loved the market for snacks, drinks, and Spam musubi—it was open early until late. Fresh towels and housekeeping were readily available, and the water and ice stations on each floor were convenient. Netflix and HBO in the room were a nice bonus. The ability to do laundry at the hotel once during our stay was also helpful. We ended up rescheduling our beach-chair reservation because of wind, but it ended up being more practical to have a separate pool day anyways. Plenty of chairs available even if you do not pay for reserve. We felt very safe with our items or having my nephew play at the kid’s pool while we were at the adult pool. Overall, a wonderful stay with beautiful views, fun pools, and an excellent location. We would happily return!"
