Top Kaka'ako Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

8/10 Good

"El servicio fue bueno los trabajadores muy atentos y me gustó la zona donde está el Hotel"

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Convenient location, great view. Food was ok. Reserved a king room, when I checked in, they said they’re all gone, all they had was 2 doubles. Then maintenance came to our room, said they had a bad outlet, asked to close the door to our lanai (we wanted the fresh air) he tapped all the outlets with his finger, said they’re “ok.” I’ve been an electrician for 26 years, never seen that before."

Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani

8/10 Good

"Staff (mostly the bellmen/valet) was very friendly and helpful. The property overall looks great and is well maintained. The room is very simple, but I find that to be true of most rooms in Waikiki. It was clean and the view was amazing. My only issue was the noise bleeding through from the other rooms. I could hear whole conversations from the people next to me, but I was more bothered by the noise from wherever was happening above me. Constant noise and at one point running some kind of machine that sounded like they were drilling into the floor. Otherwise good stay."

'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is beautiful and clean, nice rooftop bar and pool. I enjoyed the infinity like pool. We had the king sized, diamondhead, beach view room with balcony. Room and bathroom were spacious. The hotel concierge desk is very helpful. You get to rent 3 beach rentals at no cost. We got 2 chairs and an umbrella. Parking is expensive if you get a rental car, but one isn't needed. I’d definitely stay here again."

Waikiki Resort Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was nice but the shower was a little small (would recommend to get rid of the tub and do a ceramic shower only) the fitness room needs AC (too hot in there) and it's too small and can only accommodate 2 people. The treadmill didn't work. The complimentary breakfast was excellent and the host were also very friendly and polite. We liked the location, being so close to Waikiki beach, shopping plaza and many great restaurants. The pool water was too cold to use, I would recommend heating so that guest can use it even if it's not great weather or in the evening. Overall I think we paid a little too much for our stay but it was comfortable and in a great location"
