Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This place was everything I needed. The rooms were clean and the kitchen was nice to eat in as well. My gf loved it and we made sure to enjoy every part of the place"

Wayfinder Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great experience at the Wayfinder. The Redfin is fantastic, the hotel staff was amazing, the B-Side coffee shop was super convenient and good. It would be nice if they could put double pane glasses in the windows because there is noise from the streets, but we understood that before we got there."
