Top Waikiki Shell Hotel Reviews

Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Walkable, transportation, shopping, beach."

Hotel Renew

8/10 Good

"A nice hotel overall. It is a bit older but they have done a good job maintaining it. The only issue was the extra amenity costs which we never used. That is a daily cost which adds to the overall cost. Especially if you weren’t able to use any of them."

The Twin Fin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is my 3rd time at this hotel. I keep coming back for the best beaches right outside the door and the great dining options on site. Oceanfront lanai rooms have a great view of Waikiki and diamond head"

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our housekeeper was so sweet!! The resort was convenient to everything. Loved the fireworks on Friday."

Aston Waikiki Sunset

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check in. Each floor has its own laundry room & trash chute. Housekeeping was nice and offered more towels on our first day. Very tidy & had the corner room so it was a mix of both ocean & city."

Waikiki Circle Hotel By Castle

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the best hotels we have stayed at. For being an older hotel it was very well maintained and even though they didn’t have a pool the ocean was right across the street! We ended up upgrading to a deluxe ocean view balcony which was directly facing the ocean on the 11th floor and it was so well worth the money!! The staff was super amazing and kept our room clean and kept our coffee filled, lol the valet guys were great at getting our car and parking it back. They were super helpful about where to find places! Would absolutely stay here again and would highly recommend staying here! Right in downtown Waikiki in middle of all of the fun and beach!"

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely one of my favorite places to stay"

Park Shore Waikiki

8/10 Good

"Really nice location in the staff is pretty friendly rooms are pretty clean too however sometimes they are slow to respond and follow up on their request as well as they don’t tell you about the valley parking cost upfront so be aware that it’s around $55 per night and then they have taxes and fees on top of that which make it kind of astronomical if you’re staying there. I would just park down the street how long the beach or across the street at the zoo. Pool was nice but it closes relatively early at 7 o’clock and the rooms next to the pool are kind of in an awkward position. The fitness center looks like it’s just one of the rooms that has been converted to a gym, but they’re all about location and their location is great."

Queen Kapiolani Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"An amazing place loved the service and the hospitality. If or when I come back will definitely stay there again"
