Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

Prince Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean, the view was amazing, and the family loved the infinity pool. Although not overly large, the whole pool area was fantastic, with the atmosphere and harbour view being the highlights. Even the external viewing elevators were fun. We enjoyed the location at the end of the beach, close to the park, and transportation access with Uber was easy, and we could walk anywhere. Staff were kind, attentive, and always willing to help. Amenities and small luxuries like soft sheets and extra pillows made the stay perfect."

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

"Unbelievable doesn’t even begin to describe the property. We love the historical hotel and that they maintain its culture. The staff is a true example of what hospitality is all about! We came with our two kids and loved the direct access to the beach, the indoor staff and that we were all able to sit back and relax."
