Stay Hotel Waikiki

The location is fantastic, about a block from famous Waikiki beach, and the staff were nice and helpful. They lend guests beach towels, chairs, and boogie boards, and there’s a 24-hour concierge. For budget or solo travel, I’d absolutely come back. My room was dated and didn’t look like the website photos, though maybe they have nicer, newer rooms since I booked the cheapest one I could find. The lighting wasn’t great, the TV wouldn’t turn on, possibly because of dead remote batteries, and I wasn’t sure how often the carpet gets cleaned. Construction started outside my window at 6 a.m. every morning, so bring headphones if you’re trying to sleep. I was always out and about, so the room worked well as a place to sleep. It had a mini fridge, microwave, shower, and a dorm-size bed for me. Grateful for the stay!

The staff always make the place feel welcoming, with that laid-back vibe, and the location is a block from popular Waikiki beach. I’ve stayed at this boutique hotel a few times and will keep coming back when I’m in Honolulu. If I had to nitpick, the wifi gets a bit slow, especially toward the back of the building. Otherwise, this place is lit, 10/10, I’d recommend it.

The location made it easy to get to everything I needed, from the beach to shops and good places to eat. Service was friendly and welcoming throughout, and every staff member I interacted with helped make the stay feel comfortable and easy. I had a great time and would definitely come back. Highly recommend!

Great price for a great place, and I’d definitely book again. The receptionist with the flower in her hair always greeted us with a smile, and I loved that. The bar and karaoke were cute and fun, with well-priced drinks. It was a good time all around, and I liked that it was LGBTQIA inclusive. Can’t wait to go back.
