Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I got bit five times so I had to buy Benadryl itchy relief cream. They cleaned my room daily which was nice. The breakfast is so so. But it’s free so do not expect too much. Rooms are small. Staff are nice and helpful. Busy and popular hotel. Good walking distance to beach."

Aston at the Executive Centre Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I like the cleanliness and simplicity of the unit. I liked that there was a separate bedroom. The value for the money was well worth it. I like the washer dryer in the unit. I like the refrigerator in the unit. I like the stove top in the unit. A negative was noisy a/c, you got used to it after a while. Price worked out to a little over 200 a day for everything included all taxes and fees, but no parking. I like that you could park overnight onnearby streets within four blocks. You could also use less expensive parking garages in the area and instead of paying the usual hotel rates of around $50 a night. Good selection of food in the area, and surprisingly included vegetarian because I’m a vegetarian. Dewdrop, Umeke and another Chinatown vegan restaurant are very close to the hotel.I forgot the name of the Chinese restaurant. Quality was good and prices were right. Well, it is still downtown, it’s not nearly the density and crowded feeling of Waikiki."
