The Twin Fin Hotel

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean but could use an update. AC wasn't very cold"

Luana Waikiki Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"This is the definition of a 3 star hotel. If you're looking for Waikiki on a budget... stay here. Beds were comfortable. Room was sort of clean. They definitely have room to improve. A lot of dust in uncommon places. They forgot to clean our room on the day they were supposed to and then didn't change the sheets because we left a phone charger on the bed. Weird. The bell hop did not direct us, or help us with bags at arrival. The beach is quite a walk away. The pool was nice, but weird depths. They have a travel person at the front to help you book tours. Would have been nice to know beforehand. Not on the website. Front desk staff was great. Not as crowded as other hotels was a big plus. Close to shopping and food truck parks. Lanai was nice. Quiet at night. Would stay again"

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely resort with lots to do. Love the bars with music and happy hours. Beach and pools were beautiful. Room was very nice with ocean view. We were on the 27 floor and the elevators were incredibly fast, we never had to wait. Only con was when we checked in we were told the resort fee was twice what was quoted by Expedia was supposed to be $389 and it ended up being over $140 per night, over $800 for our stay."

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and amenities. The staff is so helpful and very nice. We got there a bit early for check-in and the front desk was kind of busy but flowing. So the "international team" next to the Bell Desk helped us, and made everything so smooth and efficient to check-in without any issues."
