Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. Julia at the activities desk helped set us up with a snorkeling with the turtles trip. She fit it into our schedule and also gave us tips on places to visit, eat, and experience that was not related to the property."

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The property is convenient to Waikiki Beach and the International Market but is showing a bit of age compared to other hotels in the area. That said it is a very clean hotel. Beds could be more comfortable but that is personal preference. Pool is very small for the size of the hotel but poolside food/ bev/ service is excellent. You must try the Lava Sangria! Concierge at Blue Hawaiian was helpful in booking a last minute excursion due to a closure at Hanauma Bay and had great dinner recommendations. A very walkable area and Lyft/Uber access is quick despite heavier traffic. Tucker and Bevvy is a cute onsite cafe for breakfast with more affordable coffee selections but tends to operate a bit slower. Still worth it if the buffet is not for you or Eggs and Things is a popular local diner just a block or two away. Having beach towels and beach chairs available is convenient. We didn’t use many hotel amenities just because there’s so much to do and see in the area but many are available. Check in was quick and easy."
