    Fantastic hotel, feels private and secluded within the Waikiki precinct

    The hotel is fantastic. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool (which is located on the first usable floor of the hotel - the 8th floor) is quiet and private. The staff overseeing the pool are friendly and helpful. We found free space / sunbeds each time we ventured to the pool, so it never felt overcrowded, and unlike other hotels where you can walk in off the street, access to the pool requires a hotel key / pass. We stayed in the Ocean King which had a nice view of the ocean, partially obstructed by the Sheraton on the eastern side (which wasn’t an issue). It was convenient to be able to charge food and beverages from the Halekulani restaurants to our room at the Halepuna. Towels are given to guests in a small duffle bag which can double up as a big to carry items to the beach in. Overall would recommend and would come back

    Nothing. This hotel is understated and low key. It might not be the best for kids as it does not really cater to them. Has more of an adult/sophisticated vibe. Note: we do not have kids.

    We love this hotel. It is beautifully designed with generously sized rooms. It has a great pool, great fitness facility, and fantastic staff...special shout out to the pool team and the folks at the bell desk (best ever).

    Whilst we well understand that check in is advertised as 3,00pm, interestingly we arrived at the Hotel at 2.40pm to be advised our room was not yet available. It made me wonder if the Hotel was strict on its check in policy & considered 2.40pm too early to check in even if the room was available thus asking the guests to wait till 3.00pm. OR was the room genuinely not available and still being cleaned between 2.40pm and 3.00pm?

    Friendly courteous staff from Reception to Housekeepers Hotel has a peaceful ambiance that was valued. Not a foyer full of noise and chaos as some other well known Honolulu hotels. Excellent location & a wonderful bakery next door with fresh produce & excellent coffee. Housekeeping of a high standard

    Clean, efficient, streamlined; didn't love it but certainly didn't hate it

    While very clean, streamlined, and efficient, I can't say there was anything particularly memorable about staying here. The location was good and it served it's purpose of simply being a clean, reliable place to sleep.

    I know this hotel has great reviews but I thought it was only OK. Nice, minimalist decor but it also feels a little generic and lacked atmosphere. Had a slightly upscale feel to it which was nice.

    This hotel is expensive, very expensive, but the room is so clean and the facilities amazing that I really felt it was worth it. If you are someone, like myself, who likes extreme cleanliness, I would say this is for you. Location is central, in the heart of Waikiki, so you can walk easily to the beach, if you are a beach person. All in all, if I'll ever come back to Hawaii, this is def the place I would stay again.

    Ease of access to the main section of beach was the only sore point, but nothing a short walk couldn't fix.

    Very clean and modern with nice technology touches to help use the room with ease. Nicely located in the Waikiki area.

    Excellently located, and loved that it felt more private than some of the other high end accommodation options. We noticed a lot of events at other hotels where you’d pass their hotel pool, whereas ours was completely private. Quiet rooms, comfortable beds, friendly staff, everything was great.

    The short easy walk to beach needs some landscaping.

    Exceptional price for location and peaceful hotel. Beautiful room with balcony and ocean view. It was nice to walk over to the sister hotel, The Halekulani, and be able to use our room charge for food and services there. Every night live music. Around the corner walk to couture shopping, ABC store, The Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Waikiki surfing, restaurants (Duke's and Noi).

    Would definitely return to the Halepuna Waikiki. Enjoyed food and cocktails at the Halekulani.

    We didn't enjoy breakfast at the hotel and didn't think it was value for money. I thought it was 'penny pinching' to offer juice OR tea or coffee. In fact a little rude for the waitress to take away the coffee cups once the orange juice was poured. (No offence to the waitress). We had the $45 pp set menu - ordered yogurt to start then bacon and eggs only to find the bacon was not included and cost a further $18 to the already $90 + Disappointing.

    The well appointed rooms - everything we needed. Loved the bidet and heated toilet seat. Also loved the automated sheer and blackout blinds, the air conditioner which we could operate individually, the lighting, the phone charging facility - all modern, streamline and cleverly done. The room was cleaned the moment we left for breakfast and was spotless. Thank you Cel. Although we didn't swim the pool area was lovely. We enjoyed the time spent (lunch and cocktails) at the Halekulani across the road. Such a beautiful setting.

    The beach is at the end of Waikiki and small. FYI - Ala Moana Beach, Park, and Shopping Center is not within walking distance.

    The room had remote control sheer and black-out curtains. At the door and night stand, one can turn on and off any of the lights in the room. The AC works off a thermostat and is not a window unit. Your room key works in and out of the parking structure. The rooms have a Juliet balcony. The windows are floor to ceiling. This location is easy to drive out of Waikiki.

    Can't think of anything I didn't like. Room was pricey with a view of the top of a parking deck but this is a minor quibble.

    Excellent location in Waikiki, with access to the beach just from across the street. Room was exceptionally quiet and perfect place to rest after a day sightseeing. Nice pool with chairs and cabanas and attentive staff.
