Hotels Near DFS T Galleria(Hawaii) in Honolulu

So....got a great rate on Travelzoo voucher for 4 nights. This hotel has been remodeled and is still in process of completing some work in common areas. Starbucks opened when I was there, and Monkeypod will open in the future. Staff was fabulous! No complaints there. I was able to check in early and got a partial ocean view on floor 11. Room was spotless. My only complaint, and it's a big one for me, is the soundproofing. I should say lack of it! Doors are HEAVY and each open and shut on the floor nearby is a shock to the sleeper. Also, the wind whistled and the band and traffic comes right in through slider to balcony. The band stops at 9, so that was no problem, and very nice. But....I hated the door slams and other interior noises. If you are a light sleeper, I don't think you will enjoy yourself. I wore ear plugs. Location is superb! It really can't be beat. Pool is OK. The jacuzzi was kind of icky. One being closed the entire time, the other kind of grey and the one attached to the pool generally full of kids. No jacuzzi for me. Towels and loungers were readily available. No problems there. We did have a problem at restaurant/ bar with what we think was bad turkey or mayo on a club. My grandson and I got sick within a couple hours. Unfortunately for the maintenance staff there was some cleaning up to do in the bathroom. The staff responded immediately and were so nice about it. I cannot thank them enough. However, when I reported this to the restaurant manager in the morning I was not totally happy with his response. All in all, I would stay there again for what I paid for it.

Overall, I am quite satisfied with the hotel. It is very convenient for food, accommodation and shopping. The room is not very big, but it is enough to live in. It is quite clean inside and has complete facilities. It is close to the beach and shopping area. It is worth recommending.

The hotel is in the center of Waikiki. A lot of shops and restaurants are nearby.I The beaches are 100 meters away. The famous hotels Moana Surfrider and Hyatt Regency are across the street. Royal Waikiki Center is a beautiful mall nearby. There are a lot of luxury retail stores and restaurants in the mall.

Cross the road, you will get to a very friendly beach. New swimmers can learn how to swim in the ocean. Although many people there, the beach is still the best part that I've tried in Waikiki (compared with Sunset and Ala Moana), less rocks, easy to walk in the water. Hotel service is very efficient, as well as many kinds of activities (mostly on weekdays). Due to its too near the luxury row, it will be a little bit noisy if you stay lower level. Even the city view is good to see mountains.

This resort is excellent with three swimming pool and a large Lagoom and only walking distance to the beach. You can find everything you need in this resort and there are ABC stores inside and we can buy all our souvenirs very easy. I will strongly recommend this hotel to my friend. Just one things that there is no bottle water provided and no boiling machine and you need to buy your bottle water on your own.

Another short vacation. Spent 2 nights at the Waikiki Marriott. Generally I like higher floors but this time I got the 8th floor. When I arrived to do an early check in, the computer system was down for maintenance and I had to come back later. Room was clean, first time getting a queen bed with the city view. Usually as a solo traveler I get the double beds for cheaper but none were available this time. Overall didn’t have any major issues. Only minor gripe was the bathroom light wouldn’t always turn on and would flicker and require me to flip it on and off again to work. The AC in the room was also noticeably nosier than the other rooms I stayed at.

A friend found this hidden gem for us. At 1st glance you'd think oh no lol. We stayed in a 8 bed all female dorm with air conditioning that worked and fans. There were 5 of us for 5 nights and cost us $190usd each. We were all 50+ yrs old. We were lucky enough not to have anyone else join us. Brooke was great at check in, very patient as we were checked in 1 at a time. You're given clean sheets/pillowcase and towel. We got to our room and unfortunately discovered there was rubbish underneath the beds, weren't very impressed with that and one of our friends mentioned this and whilst we were out having lunch Dan was in cleaning the whole room, very impressed. We also got an apology from the manager explaining there was a miscommunication of cleaning the room. The room had 8 individual lockers for valuables only but you have to buy a padlock for them. Our dorm had mini fridge, microwave, elements plus ensuite with shower in a bath and toilet. Unfortunately the toilet didn't always flush straight away but we sussed it out. The security was great, opened the door with GOKI app on phone. Parking is terrible though we had to park sometimes up to 1km for free parking or you can park in the Honolulu Zoo across the road for $1.50 per hour for maximum 4hrs. One of the best parts about the location is a 5min walk to the BEACH. Hostel provides tubes, chairs to take down which we used a few times, we saw sunrises and sunsets just beautiful. 2nd best thing is the amazing young staff, nothing a bother whatsoever so great to see. So overall would us over 50/60yr olds stay here again? 💯 You have to think smarter, and from NZ our dollar was 56c in USD. We made it work, would highly recommend 👌 and spent our accommodation savings at ROSS stores 😁

The hotel is an affordable price with simple and clean environment. The room looks new and tidy which make me pick for my four nights stay. More importantly they offer cheap parking charge compared to other hotels in Waikiki. There are two bottle of water to be provided each day and you can redeem for free in front desk which is appreciated, you can also take the refilling water in lobby. Microwave is provided in each room too.

The location is not in the bustling Waikiki. It is a very new hotel. I checked in directly at the hotel at 11 o'clock. I was also upgraded to a side sea view room where I could watch the sea from my bed. The room was very clean and cleaned every day. There were two 1.5 large beds and a washlet toilet. There was no balcony but the window door could be opened for ventilation, which was very comfortable. The surrounding environment was also very good. There was Walmart and Target downstairs. It was within five minutes to walk to Ala Moana Center and the beach. It was a 10-minute walk to the bus station to the Polynesian Center. It took more than ten minutes to get to Waikiki from the bus station downstairs. The hotel also had a free shuttle bus to the Waikiki beach. The free sightseeing buses of JAL and ANA were all in the AlaMoana parking lot. The location and transportation were really great. It was also the most comfortable accommodation in Hawaii.

Our stay at The Kahala started off a little disappointing as they didn’t have 2 bed rooms available. Luckily, they were able to quickly get a very comfortable rollaway bed to our room. The rest of our stay was nothing short of perfect. The resort is beautiful and all the amenities in the enormous room were fantastic. The scenic view room overlooks the golf course and was perfect for watching the sunrise. You can see a little bit of the ocean from the lanai if you have one. The beach is very open and not too crowded, even with the hotel saying they were fully booked. We loved that the water was waist-deep for several yards and no waves due to the reef. The restaurants were delicious and for those who are gluten-free, the chef took special care to show which items were safe during buffet times. The resort is beautiful and think the price was reasonable for what you get. It’s starting to show a little wear, but overall it’s very well taken care of and priced accordingly. I’d definitely stay here again next time I’m on Oahu!
