Top Waikiki Shell Hotel Reviews

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean."

Queen Kapiolani Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place. Near many great spots in Waikiki."

Wayfinder Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience at the Wayfinder. The Redfin is fantastic, the hotel staff was amazing, the B-Side coffee shop was super convenient and good. It would be nice if they could put double pane glasses in the windows because there is noise from the streets, but we understood that before we got there."

"."

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I love everything about this hotel except the pool experience. More specifically, the lack of pool chairs is extremely frustrating because there is simply not enough of them for the amount of guest on property. If we did not get to the pool by 7 AM each morning we were out of luck for a chair, and the only options were to come back every hour to see if something opened up or pay $125 per day to reserve a chair. Otherwise, our stay was perfect."

Aston Waikiki Sunset

10/10 Excellent

"great view of i"

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"I have been to many hotels around the world but the friendliness & kindness from all the hotel staff from upon arrival was fantastic at all hours. Proximity of the hotel to the beach is alao excellent & super convenient. I highly recommend this hotel which is also such great value for price. Just maybe don't select the city view side because a bit noisy & the included breakfast is repetive & limited but you have the basics."
