Top Diamond Head Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent
"I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, and all of the staff were very helpful and friendly. I also really liked that the breakfast was different each day, which gave it some nice variety. The location was great—only a 2–3 minute walk to the beach and about a 5-minute walk to the park and zoo. I didn’t have a car during my stay and mainly relied on the bus and walking. I only used Lyft once, to get to Kōloa Ranch, so the location was very convenient for getting around without a car.The price was also great for what you get. My only downside would be the elevators. There are only two elevators per tower, and every other day, it seemed like only one was working. Depending on what floor you’re staying on, you may not want to take the stairs. I once waited about 15–20 minutes for an elevator. Other than the elevator situation, I had no complaints and would definitely consider staying here again."

"Great location, great hotel. The staff (reception, cleaning, facilities) were all so friendly and helpful. I really appreciated that they allowed me to check in early and out late to accommodate my flights. I recommend a corner room-I had a magnificent view of both Diamondback and the ocean. The beach is just steps away, and they provide beach chairs and towels. The restaurant was outstanding. My only wish is that it was open for breakfast. Plenty around within walking distance. Would stay there again!"
