Extra fees for room, taxed per day, hidden fee charged to the room of 35$ per day for valet parking. Fees should have been disclosed before booking the room. 3 day stay went from 728, to 989. Hotel was great but not worth 300 a day

Our Palm Suite was extremely antiquated and worn. The beds were hard and the pillows quite lumpy. The linens seemed clean, which is a plus. However, there was so much dust in the room, even along the headboards that twice I found small spider crawling on my pillow. The beach area around this location is full of filth and smells of trash. The homelessness in the area is heart breaking. We would not stay here again, honestly. That said, if you like a true downtown city vibe, consider this your Brooklyn of Hawaii.

Great location. Right next to good restaurants and coffee. Not too far from the beach. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice and accommodating. Pictures were a little deceiving. Room appeared to be much bigger in picture than in person. Otherwise no issues.

Room not suitable for rent.
Our stay was fine. The disappointment was the kitchenette. It was extremely unsafe. Immediately above the kitchen sink is the only electrical outlet in the entire kitchen. How this pasted inspection is beyond my wildest dream! Then the microwave is situated in the center of the cupboard and sticks out so far that reaching anything below it is almost impossible without hitting your head to it. I manage to walk into it only twice in the 12 days we were there. This booking was done well in advance (like more than 6 months, so I would think we could have been given a better room. I know they do have better rooms than what we were given. Very disappointed. I will definitely check the room before accepting it in the future . I feel we were taken advantage in this situation.

Great location
It is always hard to find somewhere in Waikiki that is in a great location for a reasonable price that has a kitchen. Unfortunately it wasn't really a kitchen, it had a microwave and a small fridge and one glass bow to cook anything in. The view from the balcony was great, the noise a bit off putting from the other hotels (i.e. the back of those hotels air conditioning systems).

Male at check in counter was unfriendly. Did not say hello. Only requested iD and credit card. Pointed out all the things we could not do like smoke, use members' club, etc. Told me he could not guarantee early check in & did not volunteer to check on it until I asked a second time. Felt like a greeting/check-in at a low class establishment. The ladies at the counter on other encounters were much more welcoming and helpful. Also had a issue with our room having smoke in it. The manager was helpful in getting our third person relocated to other room at a discounted rate, but did nothing re our room rate; we would not have rented a unit for 3 if we had known only 2 of us would be staying there and feel that a price adjustment on our room should have been made. Currently a second charge for our room is pending on my American Express Card; hopefully this charge will not go through as the room as already been paid for once.

This was my husband’s first trip to Hawaii and I wanted it to be wonderful. This beautiful hotel is in a great location, close to everything that is Waikiki. We weren’t interested in shopping, but if we had been, we were in the right place as there are fine stores all around this hotel.

Convenient one bedroom suite
The one bedroom suite worked really well for our family. Great to have balconies with ocean views. Convenient location and clean unit. One downside, hot tubs were dirty so we didn't feel comfortable using them.

The hotel is in the perfect location in Waikiki for shopping and beach access. The lobby was pristine, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite on the 16th floor. It was newly renovated, and could not have been in better condition.

The most amazing hotel in Waikiki. We were greeted by the awesome Eric who was fabulous in every way. I wish I had booked my entire stay here. Thank you Eric. Because of you we will stay at the imperial every-time. Its am absolute gem. The housekeeping & valet staff were awesome, professional & helpful. Special mention to Luz for making our stay even more delightful. Management please let them know how delightful they both are. You have true treasures who work for you. Room 1608 & 808 were both fabulous. Clean, huge & homely . A wonderful little piece of Home away from Home. My family have enjoyed staying here. So much we don’t want to go. home 💜. Imperial Resirt hotel would be the best hotel in Waikiki. Mahalo Taylor-Simi Family

The hotel was older but clean. We needed a room for 5 and we got it including a separate bedroom, a sleeper couch, and a Murphy bed. Here's why we really loved this hotel. We didn't arrive until 10:30 p.m., but our reservation was still good. We had plans in Honolulu later in the day after we checked out of the hotel, but we couldn't take our baggage with us. So the hotel stored all our bags. Our plans included swimming in the ocean, so they told us when we got back late that afternoon, we could shower and change. They gave us temporary keys to get in to the Owner's Lounge on the top floor and the shower attached to the sauna. They loaned us towels to use for our excursion too. That is going above and beyond. We really appreciated the chance to freshen up in the hotel even though we'd already checked out.
