Hotels in Honolulu

"I recommend it because the location is absolutely perfect, but I found the directions to be very poor. I arrived around 2 AM and, even after an hour, I still couldn't find the access door, which can only be opened if a staff member comes down to let you in. I only discovered this famous door because a woman knew where the intercom was! And their phone number (provided by Trip) is no longer in service. Overall, it's very clean and has a beautiful sea view."

"The hotel is very quiet, and the sea views are absolutely stunning. From the room, you can see so many yachts. It's lovely to watch them head out to sea in the morning, and in the afternoon, there are lots of people surfing. The hotel's pool is fantastic, and there's a Japanese restaurant downstairs that's incredibly delicious – we really enjoyed it, and it was only a bit over 100 for two, which is quite reasonable. The best part is how clean the hotel is; the hygiene is excellent. I'll definitely stay here again next time!"

"The Rainbow Tower is quite new and the rooms are decent, but the elevators are incredibly slow. With over 1000 rooms sharing just 5 elevators, you're looking at nearly a ten-minute wait every time. I'd advise against booking an ocean view room because you won't really see much ocean; it's mostly lagoon. For a true ocean view, you'd need to book an 'oceanfront view,' and even then, it depends on the front desk's mood – they might give you a low floor where you still can't see anything. My room was on a very low floor with virtually no view, plus there was construction going on downstairs, which was very noisy. The hotel's location is a bit out of the way for Waikiki; it's over a 15-minute walk to the main area. However, it's only a 15-minute walk to Ala Moana Shopping Center. Also, if beach quality is important to you, don't stay here. The beach is full of coral fragments, which hurt your feet, and the water is murky. The towel counter closes at 6 PM, so there's nowhere to return towels after that. Additionally, they don't offer complimentary beach chairs or bodyboards, unlike Marriott where they're free. Overall, it's not really worth the price."

"Good hotel for a short stay in waikiki. The location is great right in the center but the fact that it is just above a nightclub is a downside as you can quite hear the music until 2 or 4 in the morning. The staff is helpful and the hotel provides beach gear for free which is great"

"Great Stay thank you - Location was Great You get charged for a Day Rate for Coffee etc & we are happy with this But when you arrive after 9pm & you cannot get coffee Disappointed that you still get charged Room was Great but Air Con not the best, Location was the bets for our 2 night stay in Hawaii Make sure you get room on high floor as there is a night club on Enterence - Morning Owner was Verry Plesent & Friendly Thankyou & we recommend this hotel"

"The room was well-equipped with a stove and dishes, plus a round table and two chairs which made dining very convenient. It was clean and tidy, and the lobby had a water dispenser for drinking water. The service attitude was good, and they offered luggage storage. The hotel has a pink exterior, making it easy to spot. There are dining options downstairs, and it's a super convenient 2-minute walk to Waikiki Beach. There are also many bus stops nearby, making getting around very easy."

"We were given Room 08 in the Ewa building, and the balcony view was exactly as pictured. Even though we were on a high floor, we could still faintly hear the lively party music at night, but it didn't bother our sleep. I'm not sure if it would be an issue for lower floors. Getting to the beach was super convenient – just cross the street, turn right, and you're there. The waves on this part of the beach are very gentle and consistent, so I'd recommend renting a board and heading out. The hotel providing beach towels and chairs was a nice touch and very convenient. The room itself was quite spacious, and while it felt a bit dated, the restroom and bathroom had been renovated with updated fixtures, including a Japanese toilet. The only downside is that the bathroom space felt a bit cramped."

"The location was absolutely superb! Waikiki Beach was just a 3-minute walk away, and various supermarkets and restaurants were all within a convenient 10-minute stroll. While the facilities were a bit dated, they were clean, and the staff service was excellent. The complimentary breakfast was an added bonus that made my stay even more satisfying."

"1. The sheets, floors, and bathroom were all very clean. 2. It's a few hundred meters from Waikiki Beach and shopping malls, making transportation very convenient. 3. The facilities are indeed old. Most of the older facilities don't affect the stay, but the curtains might be made of several pieces of fabric pieced together and might not be able to be drawn properly."

"Staying in Hawaii, this hotel near Waikiki Beach and Kalakaua Avenue is beautiful and great for shopping. In Hawaii, definitely splurge on an ocean-view room – don't be stingy! At Halepuna, you get a complimentary reusable water bottle and slippers. You don't even need to bring your own toiletries; just ask, and they'll send them up. Plus, it's connected to Halekulani for breakfast, and you can charge it to your room. I have to say, Trip.com was amazing this time! My flight arrived early at just past 9 AM, and I had requested an early check-in through Trip.com the day before. By 10:30 AM, my room was already ready. The service was absolutely fantastic!"
