Top Waikiki Shell Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki Beach

8/10 Good

"This was way better than the craziness of the Hilton Waikiki Village."

Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The property was exceptionally clean and quiet. Everyone on the staff was very friendly and helpful."

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Everything!"

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Convenient location, great view. Food was ok. Reserved a king room, when I checked in, they said they’re all gone, all they had was 2 doubles. Then maintenance came to our room, said they had a bad outlet, asked to close the door to our lanai (we wanted the fresh air) he tapped all the outlets with his finger, said they’re “ok.” I’ve been an electrician for 26 years, never seen that before."

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful and clean, nice rooftop bar and pool. I enjoyed the infinity like pool. We had the king sized, diamondhead, beach view room with balcony. Room and bathroom were spacious. The hotel concierge desk is very helpful. You get to rent 3 beach rentals at no cost. We got 2 chairs and an umbrella. Parking is expensive if you get a rental car, but one isn't needed. I’d definitely stay here again."

Park Shore Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"From check-in to check-out, the Park Shore Waikiki exceeded my expectations. The lobby is lovely with rocking chairs to wait for your Lyft or shuttle. Yummy food is available at restaurants all around. And the view! Diamond Head and the beach. Sunset everyday from my lanai. I hope to come back some day."

Hotel Renew

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff upon check-in. Requested coffee pod machine for our room and delivered as requested. Asked daily for coffee pods (refill) and cream, not a problem! Water refill and ice machine available on floor. Umbrella provided by front desk in case of rain. Overall, a pleasurable experience. Mahalo nui loa!"

Waikiki Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but the shower was a little small (would recommend to get rid of the tub and do a ceramic shower only) the fitness room needs AC (too hot in there) and it's too small and can only accommodate 2 people. The treadmill didn't work. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and the host were also very friendly and polite. We liked the location, being so close to Waikiki beach, shopping plaza and many great restaurants. The pool water was too cold to use, I would recommend heating so that guest can use it even if it's not great weather or in the evening. Overall I think we paid a little too much for our stay but it was comfortable and in a great location"

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time"
