Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about this hotel!! Loved the history behind it as well!!"

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience staying at Hyatt Place Waikiki! The location was excellent—just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, shopping, and everything Waikiki has to offer. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Our room was comfortable, and the overall atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy our time in Hawaii. The location really made the stay for us. Being so close to Waikiki Beach made it incredibly convenient to head out for the day and come back whenever we wanted. We would definitely stay at Hyatt Place Waikiki again and would recommend it to anyone visiting Oahu. Mahalo for a great stay!"

Prince Waikiki

8/10 Good

"We had a nice ocean view and my toddler loved swimming in the pool. It was nice how it was opened late and had music playing. The hot tub was great, although it would get filled up really quick and sometimes we weren’t able to use it. The location was great. It was close to everything. We could walk to the nearest beach or restaurants. The mall was only a 5 min drive. The airport was 15 min away. Despite being there during tropical storm LaLa and losing power, we would stay there again. The hotel kept us updated and acted quickly. Our safety was a top priority."

Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was large, comfortable and very clean. The front desk clerks were friendly and helpful. Our room was on the 25th floor with a partial ocean view. The hotel is located a block from the beach. It’s a very easy walk and I felt extremely safe staying at this hotel."

Aston at the Executive Centre Hotel

8/10 Good

"Check in was a little weird because of the curbside parking and going down the escalator to the Front Desk. Exiting the parking structure was very delayed. This made us late for our event. The room had a lot room and was nice. The location was good. Now that we know how this hotel operates, we’ll be back."
