Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra

10/10 Excellent

"Great for the price! Everything is nearby. The pool needs maintenance it does not look like the pictures. The Fusion Cafe’s food was delicious and prices were reasonable. Over all it was good."

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The property was convenient for rideshare pickup and drop-off, with access located close to our room and the elevator. However, on our second night, the hotel changed its policy and no longer allowed rideshares to park near the Diamond Head Tower. As a result, we had to walk to the bus terminal, which was challenging for my child due to mobility issues. Additionally, I observed hotel staff sweeping dust and debris off a balcony, which was not pleasant to see and detracted from the overall experience."

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Overall experience was EXCELLENT! PERFECT LOCATION. Walking distance from everything. We stayed in a beachfront suite that slept 5 people. Wow! It was breathtaking. Here are a few things that would have been nice to know. 1. Daily valet parking $85.00 USD/day or Self parking $65.00 USD/day. 2. A daily resort fee of $63.00 USD/day. Keep in mind these fee's are not included in your overall booking fee you pay prior to arrival. The rooms also had toilet bidet, which we did not utilize as their was a wired smell when it came on, so we unplugged it. After that, the smell was gone. Overall, it was such a great experience even with the mishaps."
