Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

Aston at the Executive Centre Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Not only is the staff amazing, but you actually see where your money goes. They have people always cleaning and maintaining the entire property."

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."

The Twin Fin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Had an issue with the AC not working but they were quick to resolve the issue. Great location, affordable pricing. There are a couple resteraunts on the premises which was nice. The only downside was no parking, only valet parking at 65 per day and not being able to bring your own alcohol near the pool. Also, when I booked it said ocean view which was actually a partial ocean view. The unit didnt actually face the ocean. Other than that, friendly staff and great location"

Prince Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic room with a super spacious bathroom. Our favorite part of the room was the window! Staff was helpful looking for activities and asking questions about the island. The infinity pool and hot tub were both phenomenal, we used them a few different nights. We didn’t order any room service, not sure if they do have it, but I know they only have the single small cafe in the lobby as far as food choices. I would recommend it to someone looking for the Honolulu resort experience!"

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."
