Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The facility and surrounding area was beautiful. The main thing that kept this from being a 5-star review were that it felt they were trying to sell us more things and be involved in all aspects of our trip. The "concierge" only existed to sell you packages and would not answer general questions, only referring us back to the check-in desks, which typically had very long lines. The food and drinks within the resort were overpriced and mediocre, so I would recommend staying here but venturing out of the resort often as well."

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay with our two kids, the breakfast was great and filling. The only issue I had was the parking was stressful, the garage was small, only about 200 spaces for approx 500 rooms so first come first serve and the spaces were small, so everyone would have to get out of the car so the driver could park"

Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Let me start by saying that the Ilikai is the best hotel I’ve chosen for a vacation so far! We absolutely loved our stay, from the location to the wonderful staff. Marie went above and beyond to help us resolve a few issues, and Chester was always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. Their kindness really made a difference in our experience. The location is perfect! It’s close enough to everything but far enough away from the crowds to enjoy a quieter, more relaxing stay. Many tour companies also offer pickup right from the hotel, which is super convenient. I had considered staying next door at Hilton Hawaiian Village, but I’m so glad we chose the Ilikai. The village is fun, especially if you have younger kids, but our son is 14 and really enjoyed the Ilikai and its more relaxed atmosphere. A few helpful tips for your stay: * If you want to spend a day enjoying Hilton Hawaiian Village, you can purchase a day pass for around $30, which gives you access to the pools and discounts at participating restaurants. * You can rent beach umbrellas regardless of which hotel you’re staying at, and the lagoon is open to everyone. * Goofy Cafe & Dine is amazing! Their kalua pig eggs Benedict are delicious. 😊 * Don’t miss Lappert’s Ice Cream at the village. It’s a must! * Ala Moana Center and Sam’s Club (great for souvenirs!) are only about a 10-minute walk away. * Waikiki Beach is about a 25-minute walk, but we stopped for coffee along the way, so it didn’t feel nearly as far."
