Top Downtown Honolulu Hotel Reviews

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and accommodating. TheHotel area was a great prime spot close to everything. I would come back and stay here again, a great price for a nice resort. "

OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had “ocean front” room which is excellent, and breakfast was good. Room was spotless & housekeeping came each day, working around our schedule. From the time we checked in, staff seemed to know our names and gave great service. Two times front desk staff left the front desk to help us. Only downside was the hotel’s Monkeypod restaurant had loud music at dinner - we preferred other restaurants for dinner."
