    Pleasant stay at the northern tip of Waikiki, although required some work to enjoy.
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • King Room with Ocean View
    • Stayed 7 nights

    Rooms show wear--balcony slide door would get stuck if you locked it, and you had to jiggle it open in a particular way. Housekeeping could do a better job (e.g., there was sand in the room when we arrived, the kitchen countertop was both dusty and had some stuff on it). Not proactive in refilling amenities/towers/toilet paper, even though they're obviously running low or used up--you have to call and ask or stop by the front desk. Also, very strict about using towel cards to get a fixed number of towels.

    Good location, walking distance to Kahanamoku lagoon and the Hilton village. Also close to Ala Moana shopping mall and Ala Moana Park (public beach). Rooms are spacious. Has a nice deck, pool is small but . Staff and housekeeping definitely have the aloha spirit. Pescawa restaurant at the top of the building has great views and excellent food--at a price (also serving is slow). There is a little superette and an ice cream shop on the first floor, as well as some other commerce. The other restaurant (Cinnamon) on the first floor was never open.

    The outside of the building could do with a spruce up and more comfortable bed would have been expected.

    Lovely room and view of the ocean.

    There were picketers outside the hotel when we arrived.

    The location of this property was excellent. The room was also good size. It was like a studio apartment with a balcony with ocean view which was great! Comfortable beds. I would stay here again. Music on friday nights with hula dancers was wonderful!

    Very old and dilapidated, could do with a revamp. We booked a king Seaview room with our upgrades and was told booking.com did not give them the right information so we ended up with a standard double room and partial sea view. Not happy with that and according to Richelle at the front desk, no other rooms available.

    Really great location and wonderful friendly staff. Beds are comfortable. Valet parking very well operated

    The kitchenette was only stocked with the basics…4 each eating utensils, large plates, small plates, etc. 3 very dull knives. Hade to freeze our own ice, probably because of no ice maker in the fridge. Older remodel of kitchen had illogical and hidden locations for light switches. No garbage disposal. BUT, the price was VERY good for the location. Just stuff to expect if you go there.

    Great price for a great location and property. Very good restaurant and shops on main floor. Did not try fancy restaurant on top floor. Wonderful lady in the travel business printed an email attachment for me after finding hotel staff could not do so. Cannot blame them; hotel should be able to provide this service.

    The facilities are a bit dated now and need some refreshing.

    Well situated and great to be in an iconic hotel in Hawaii. The staff were friendly and helpful and even gave us some bubbly to help celebrate our anniversary. Of all the places we stayed during our stay in Hawaii, especially on Oahu, this felt like we were in Hawaii. Loved the ice-bream, nachos and water vouchers.

    After I did more research it appears that I was paying a premium for a non-premium room.

    I was very happy with the location and the room met my expectations for most of the check boxes but I found out that I paid an excessive amount because I could have gotten a better price elsewhere.

    No bellhop when we checked in at 5pm. He was gone for the day. Huh? Buying ice in the store? No. Not sure what the $25 amenity fee was for but we didn't even have bottled water for the room.

    Room was lovely, a view to ocean as requested. We enjoyed early mornings and sunsets on the balcony. The hotel is beautiful. Breakfast and dinner at Cinamons was great. Food was very good. Server's were friendly and helpful.
