    Me and my pride and joy!

    Our stay at Romer House in Waikiki was absolutely amazing! Conveniently located directly in front of International Marketplace- featuring 90 stores, restaurants, and plenty of entertainment options. Beach access to Waikiki beach is in close proximity if you cut thru International Marketplace (a 5-10 minute walk). The hotel recently underwent a total renovation (and it definitely shows). It's sleek, clean, and stylish- with a modern feel. Gerald, our concierge was an absolute gem! Super friendly, helpful, and amicable (stand up guy). He checked on us daily, and made some great recommendations (shops, restaurants, and local areas for sightseeing). Ultimately, he made sure we had everything we needed on our trip. Five stars for Gerald! Mahalo bruh! The rooms were spacious and clean (double queen beds, with a sofa bed, huge balcony facing the city, and walk-in rainfall showers). The hotel featured a backyard pool deck, a vibrant lobby restaurant, and a cool cocktail lounge (The Lei Stand)- making it very convenient on days when we didn't want to go out. Overall, we had a wonderful time staying at this hotel, and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay at a nice hotel without breaking the bank!

    Booked a stay here in February with my best friend for 5 days and had such an amazing time. This was an Adults ONLY stay, and would definitely recommend staying here. From the moment I walked in, I was obsessed with the vibe. The interior itself is sleek and moody with gorgeous black finishes paired with lush greenery all around. Such a perfect aesthetic. Honestly right up my alley. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were helpful, warm, and really added to the overall positive energy to the stay. I thought it was really cute that they have activities at the hotel. On Thursday night they had a House Warming with a DJ at their "The Lei Stand" at their bar. They also do other Hotel Happening: Yoga, Tarot Readings, Hula, etc. This is really great for the guests! Can't wait to stay here again :)

    Valet parking was very easy and always pickup car on time. Check in no problem and was there celebrating my daughter birthday. They comp my daughter a card for $$ for food at the restaurant. Very nice of them for celebrating my daughter birthday. Rooms were very clean and no problems at all except showers always had water coming out the the floor. Was told that was a Japanese design and they plan on upgrading on next remodel. Good palace to stay and location is excellent. You are one block from market palace and shopping.

    Comfortable bed.

    Pros: Location, great staff, valet parking Easy to walk anywhere in Waikiki. A side road, so pretty quiet from the street. Valet is always nice and valet team are great. Beautifully decorated hotel. Cons: Someone was knocking on our door at 1am. Was an impaired person looking for someone. Once my husband told him twice that he had the wrong room, he continued on the floor knocking on doors. They should consider a card only elevator or better security. I would've panicked if I was alone. People walking in the hallway from a night out talking and it was very loud. Quiet area signs may help. Or insulated doors. In short, I wouldn't stay again since we had hardly any sleep due to the phantom knocker and loud guests in the hallway. But, cute hotel.

    Adults only hotel, free of kids making it a little more relaxing. To begin, the staff at the front desk can either be very nice or passive aggressive. Ariel was very kind, welcoming and patient. Resorts fees are quite expensive if you're staying for a week but that's as expected. They have a confusing policy of what gets refunded back to your card. The hotel has a nice aroma as you walk in. Room cleaning: We were told rooms get cleaned every other day, since check in we had to wait after 2 days to get our room cleaned, then it was every other day, I'm not sure if maybe they're short staffed and it's difficult to keep up with the cleaning? I feel it's standard to have a hotel at least make the beds daily and change towels daily. When we first arrived, our room did not have the complementary shampoo and conditioner in the shower, only the body wash. It was then placed back when our room was finally cleaned. The complementary shower products, soap and lotion smell pleasant. The shower has little to no door, which gets the bathroom very wet, we were told by a different hotel staff member to use the small towel as it's a "bath mat". Our rooms shower didn't have any shelf to put our bath products down on. Not sure if lights were on a timer or motion sensor, but they would turn on and off at random times. The mini fridge is not that cold, has no freezer compartment. The water machine was down for a couple days towards the end of our trip which was a bummer since that's one of the benefits of this hotel having reusable water bottles provided. When we asked a staff member about it, he said the machine would be getting fixed that day and it still wasn't fixed unfortunately. There is no room service to order food. The beds are extremely comfortable and the air conditioning works well. Our room had a window that didn't open but had a cute little view of downtown. The pool has good hours open for availability and you can order food and drinks which is great. Personally felt like the pool was a little too warm for the summer heat everyday but it was a relaxing environment. The restaurant inside is wonderful, separate review of that :) The bar the Lei Stand was great too! The location of the hotel is extremely convenient!

    I stayed here for 5 nights during my stay in Waikiki. I stayed in their standard room on the 5th floor. Here are my pros and cons of the hotel: Pros: - The location was great. It's easy to walk to the Royal Hawaiian Center and all the shopping centers - It's also not that far from the beach and they provide towels if needed - They have bike rentals if you want - The bed was comfortable enough and I slept fine - They have an onsite bar and restaurant that was pretty good - We got 2 free non-alcoholic drink cards and $100 credit to spend on whatever we wanted - The pool area was cool - They have some complementary classes and a schedule if you like but we did not participate in any of it - Elevators were quick and easy Cons: - The check-in process was painfully slow. We had to wait for the person before us and the guy who finally checked us in had to sense of urgency. He was very nice but we would have preferred faster service. - I got the standard room and the room was a little small to me and too dark - The restroom sink was small and not many places to store anything on the counter - The shower also didn't have anywhere to place your items besides on the ground. The water also kind of went everywhere if you use the overhead one. - There was no vanity area. There was a makeup mirror which I brought out to do my makeup at by where the coffee machine was but the lighting was atrocious - They don't have an on-site gym. You can go to their sister hotel which is about a few blocks away - They only have valet parking. Sometimes there is street parking but it is difficult to find - They use to be all adult but that is no longer the case Overall, it was fine for the amount of days I stayed but probably wouldn't stay here again. If you're looking for a luxe experience then this is not it but if you're looking for a spot that's in the area and easy to get everywhere then this is worth considering.

    The rooms looked quite fancy and chiche, but lost it's charm due to the impractical shower panels and lack of counter space. It was a tad bit noisy due to the cloistered design of the rooms. Got some credit from the hotel and spent it in the japanese fusion restaurant downstairs. Food was decent but was a miss in my books. The dishes took it's time to get out of the kitchen and the quality of the dishes were subpar - case in point the wet and mushy pancake.

    We stayed overnight after our daughter recommended it. My husband had a heart procedure in Oahu so it was a quick trip from Kona. The hotel has been open about a year and is directly across from the International Marketplace. Perfect in terms of proximity to shops and dining. We ended up having a few bites at Herringbone and Stripsteak as well as picking up great pastries. The boutique hotel couldn't have been better. Location, coziness, service. Although due to hours we didn't eat there there are two restaurants available and we will try next visit. Super friendly staff. Spent our very early morning exit speaking with the nicest gentleman who is from our hometown of Kona. Love the mid century vibe. Blessed we were able to pass on info for this great spot to all of our uber drivers and medical staff. Definitely love the kamaina rates no resort fees. Only cons no tea available in room and that small shower door as you will be cleaning up water.

    So cute.

    Just stayed here friday-saturday and it was such a vibe. The esthetic of this hotel is modern, luxe with it's dimmed lights ambience. Amazing customer service, the room was clean and still smelt brand new. I stayed in a 1 bedroom, king bed 1 bath. There's a beautiful restaurant in the lobby and across the lobby Romers has their own bar. The ac was great, king bed was super comfy, ample storage for a 1 bedroom with 2 guests. The food was delicious!! I'd definitely come back here again. There was a pool but i didn't get to check it out. Overall, i enjoyed my stay, i would come back here again and recommend this hotel!

    Amazing place, clean, most importantly KID FREE. What a blessing, also a close walk to the local beaches and amazing food is only a short walk away! Be sure to swing by and stay for atleast a week! You'll never have enough time!

    Is there a fee for hotel guest for parking overnight?

    Yes, the bar and restaurant are open to the public. As a matter of fact, I would make this location my pregame spot for drinks. Affordable cocktails and spirited staff make the package.

The Banyan Wing is the original Victorian-era building which is listed on National Historic Registry and houses the main lobby and restaurant. The number of guests and visitor who circulate through this property daily is incredible. Including the Tower and Surfrider Wings, it has 791 rooms. Our Tower room had a great covered patio with incredible views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. We spent a lot of time on the patio watching the surfers, catamarans, and enjoying the island breeze. Our balcony was spectacular :o Our room was updated and very comfortable. I understand the owners completed a full renovation of all rooms in 2026. The beach bar is one of the best in the world. Cold cocktails, beer and wine. Good service. Great views! The drawbacks.... The pool is small and very crowded, especially for 791 rooms. With that said everyone in the pool was smiling and having fun. The beach is also pretty small for such a massive hotel. At high tide the hotel only has about 30 feet of beachfront and it is a public beach so it is crowded Rio style. For us this was not a drawback as we love Waikiki, the birthplace of Hawaiian surfing, and spend most of our time in the surf. Hawaii and Waikiki is one of the few places that completely lives us to the hype year after year and generation after generation. We can't wait to return. Aloha & Mahalo

    After visiting and eating at this resort in years past, we were excited about the opportunity to…read moreactually stay here. So much history as shown throughout the resort especially on the second floor, but also the open Victorian architecture which presents a relaxing atmosphere. Our friends thought we were "rich" for being able to stay here but I don't recall the prices being too different than other hotels in the area. We also got a great offering through the American Express card. We arrived on island early afternoon and attempted to stay up as late as possible. However, we were given a room on the second floor of the historic side of the hotel where they host events on the patio area outside our room. While we were trying to sleep at 8-9pm, a festive wedding was going on with their DJ blasting music, people dancing, yelling, the DJ trying to motivate the audience, etc. It was not a fun night as my wife complained to the hotel staff about the noise interfering with our ability to sleep. It's not the fact the wedding was occuring, but rather the fact the hotel staff didn't let us know they were putting us next to the hotel night club of sorts. Hawaii is typically laid back and quiet, which this was not. The hotel staff sympathisized and mentioned the wedding would be finished by 10pm which it was, and tried to make things better. On day 3 around 4am, the hotel fire alarm sounded and advised everyone to vacate the building. When we vacated, we learned it was a false alarm. This was our last day at the Moana Surfrider which we assumed was a sign the resort wasn't meant to be a relaxing experience for us. The hotel has activities associated with the resort fee such as yoga, that we registered for. It was my first time doing yoga despite mention by my wife over the years to do it. I figured it would be a pleasant surprise for her if I signed us up, and it was a great class out on the same patio area as the wedding. I won't say it was fun for me, but it was an experience that we both enjoyed. The room itself was small which I assume is because it was part of the historic side of the hotel. There wasn't a balcony which we've come to appreciate especially in Hawaii to be able to go outside, view the water, and smell the air. Instead there was a window which we tried to orient ourselves in to get a picture of us with our welcome leis and Waikiki Beach in the background. Very challenging to appreciate a window as well as find space in the room to lay out two large suitcases without having to relocate furniture. The shower leaked water onto the bathroom floor as the cracks in the glass were not sealed so there was a constant wet towel on the floor. The bathroom in general didn't seem very modern considering the hotel had recently undergone years of modernization. Housekeeping was good and treated us well with towels and drinking water. I believe the Tower rooms of the hotel might be more modern and larger, as well as away from the event area of the hotel. I think we would look at other options in the future as we also spent a few days each during this trip at the Sheraton and The Royal Hawaiian which provided a much different experience in comparison.

WORDS TO DESCRIBE Halepuna Hotel: Modern, clean, safe, economically and environmentally friendly (bamboo room cards, water dispensers for your reusable water bottles), bright, airy, quality service in hospitality and room service LOCATION I loved staying at the Halepuna Hotel. It was centrally located at the beach walk, so ABC Store, shops, restaurants, and the beach were all within walking distance. *It was difficult finding the location of the hotel, when we first arrived. There was no big sign that you can spot, while you're driving, so my landmarks I always looked for were the ABC Store and Denny's. STAFF/SERVICE: Everyone that we came across during our stay was very friendly, generous, kind, and attentive. A shoutout to the Valet Service crew, especially RJ. He gave us recommendations for where to go. He always made us smile and laugh with his jokes. Thank you Uncle! AMENITIES: ROOMS Our room was equipped with charge stations-usb and usb c compatible plugs, ironing board/iron, mini fridge, ice bucket, tea kettle, and coffee maker. BATHROOM Well stocked with towels, a drying cord, blow dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I appreciated that instead of your standard toilet, the hotel had bidets! *Great water pressure for showering. The tub was also spacious, if you wanted to take a bubble bath. 8TH FLOOR GYM-Equipped with a lot of machines Water dispenser Additional restrooms/shower room LAUNDRY ROOM is open 24/7 There are 3 washers and 4 dryers You can pay using your credit card or download the WASH CONNECT app *Friendly suggestions: -As a guest, bring your own laundry soap/dryer sheets--or go to the ABC Store if you forget your laundry supplies -Make sure to clean the lint trap before you put your clothes in -Put a timer on your phone to check on your clothes GARDEN -Serene, tranquil, peaceful, spacious -------- Friendly Suggestions for Halepuna Hotel -Have a big sign stationed outside the hotel, perhaps elevate the height of the sign and add lights to it, so it's easy to spot for first time visitors ------- All in all I enjoyed staying at the Halepuna Hotel. The services and amenities provided were excellent. I can't wait to visit again soon! Mahalo Halepuna Hotel!

I worked incredibly hard to bring my family to Hawaii, and I am extremely disappointed that so much of our time at Hilton Hawaiian Village was spent dealing with problems that should never have become our responsibility. Over three nights, we experienced two separate water leaks and repeated hot-water issues. These weren't minor inconveniences--they significantly disrupted our family vacation. The worst night, I slept approximately two hours. With water leaking into our room, I chose to stay awake and deal with the situation myself because I didn't want maintenance repeatedly coming into the room and waking my 1-year-old and 3-year-old children. Instead of resting and enjoying the next day with my family, I was exhausted because I had essentially spent the night protecting my children's sleep while dealing with the hotel's maintenance problem. That is unacceptable at a resort of this caliber. Management eventually provided compensation, and I appreciate that they acknowledged the situation. However, I absolutely do not believe the compensation matched the severity of what we experienced. I didn't work all year and spend thousands of dollars bringing my family to Hawaii to spend a significant portion of our vacation calling guest services, dealing with leaks, worrying about hot water, and effectively helping manage Hilton's property. Money can be refunded. Vacation time with my children cannot. For the price and reputation of this resort, our experience fell dramatically below what any family should reasonably expect.

The manager Ira listened to my concerns as I showed her my pictures. She immediately apologized and ask that I email the pictures to their corporate office. Which I did once I arrived back to the mainland. In the room there's a finger or toenail clipping on the carpet between the console and couch. Also you can also see that portion of the carpet has not been vacuumed. The clothed bench in front of bed was extremely stained and filthy. So filthy that I covered the bench with a bath towel if I needed to sit down. Also the refrigerator was very dirty. I chose not to put any food items in the fridge because of this. Also the bottom of the toilet is stained with either fecal matter, urine or maybe it's rust. If so, clean it then use caulking. These are the concerns I have with room 403. Hopefully I'll be hearing from upper management in regards to my unpleasant stay in room 403. The best part of staying at this hotel was the show Auana which is located at this hotel. Needless to say I will not stay at this hotel again.

    I will never forget the way the Hawaiian breezes felt in my hair. And I will also never forget the…read moreoutstanding hospitality, accommodations and luxury of this gorgeous hotel. I love that it is in the heart of Waikiki, very walkable to shopping and nightlife should you want to leave the grounds of the resort. The nightly local music with hula under the sky is magical. Reservations for dinner, or grab a first come first serve cocktail table at 5 to watch the sunset! There is also nightly jazz in the bar. La Mer is a one of a kind French experience and Orchids is fantastic for any meal of the day. Just outside the hotel is a delightful oceanfront park where the hotel hosted yoga each day. A highlight for me. Great poolside service. The beach is small, so if you are looking to lounge on the beach, that's not really much of an option. This hotel is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World. So you know it has the highest standards. That brand has never steered me wrong. And the fact that it is not under a massive hotel chain umbrella means it can maintain its authentic individuality. Pro tip: if you have a late flight, there is a lounge where you can relax and prepare for your departure, as check out is 11am.

    Extremely rude and unprofessional service coming from one of the male bartenders…read more I was accosted while coming out of the restroom , with him frantically asking if I paid the tab, treating me like some sort of criminal. The restroom is in the restaurant area. I never once left the restaurant throughout the entire evening. I was simply on my way to pick up my drink from the seating area and then head to the bar to pay. He told me I was "going the wrong way" when the way I was going would have led to me to the bar... The way this team handles tabs in this bar is abysmal. Right when I sat down, I was attempting to give my bartender my credit card to start a tab. They refused to accept my card and said don't worry about it, and that they'll take it after I'm done. I explicitly told the bartender that I was going over to the lawn right next to the bar (still in the restaurant area) to get a better view of the musical performance, drink in hand. They said go ahead. Nobody should be treated like this

The stay was because we didn't have electricity after hurricane Lala. It was such an amazing stay what started as 3 days/2 nights extended to 6 days! We were greeted at the valet $55 a night. Service is great- they had our vehicle ready at 6am for work. There is no self parking. However they are very efficient! The lobby is on the 7th floor- so helpful - Ayumi helped to extend our stay. We met her at check in also. All the staff are pretty helpful and nice. The rooms are so comfortable and the kitchenette is not the normal "kitchenette". The stove has 2 hot plates- no oven. A microwave. The dishware and cutlery. Subzero mini fridge & freezer. Breville toaster & blender. Zoriushi rice pot. Nespresso make and pods. The knives are German made Zwilling. Impressive. The sofa bed was comfortable - the mattress was like a memory foam type?! Or it felt like it. The gym has dumbbells up to 75#, yoga mats, medicine balls, kettlebell, cardio machines- bike- treadmill- elliptical and even a peleton too, they have circuit training cables and machines. Even filtered water, cold towels, fruits and towels to use. The infinity pool and hot tub were a joy. They offer towel service, lounge chairs, drink service, and complementary smoothie and ice cream with toppings (caramel, chocolate, and sprinkles) The business center or library has computers (good speed too), phone charger, printer and couch with additional chairs. There were 2 newspapers on the table the other day. Convenient. The restaurants: Bloom for breakfast and Kini Room. They also have a bar at the lobby. And a lil coffee shop. An ABC store is a block away- huge

    TRANQUILITY! 4.8…read more We stayed here during the first half of our most recent trip to the island, mainly to compare it with another property/residence that we really like and wanted to make a direct comparison. We also used our American Express Platinum Hotel Credit benefit, and it was great that this hotel qualified for it. Ka Laʻi is one block from the beach, backing up to Fort DeRussy Park, a military reservation, and is surrounded by many shops and restaurants, especially along Luxury Row, which is a non-negotiable visit for us. There is so much aloha felt here, with the staff always greeting us with genuine smiles and a willingness to help. The hotel is quiet and soothing, perfect for a relaxing stay. We checked in seamlessly and were provided with cold, refreshing water upon our arrival. Our room was spacious and felt very cozy, with beige carpet and tile flooring, brown furniture, and dark cabinetry in the kitchen. In the seating area, there was a large full-size sofa, an upholstered side chair, and a coffee table. The long dresser and closet provided plenty of storage. A lovely welcome treat was left in our room: two Ka Laʻi reusable water bottles, Hawaiian semi-sweet chocolate, and Beach Brittle. These items were a very nice touch. If you feel inclined to enjoy more Beach Brittle, you can purchase it downstairs in the small shop next to the spa. The bathroom had a double-sink vanity with plenty of counter space, which is a must for me, a large soaking tub, and a wet shower area. It was a generously sized bathroom with plenty of room to move around. Our stay included a wonderful breakfast buffet at Inyō. There was an omelet station with a chef preparing made-to-order omelets, along with a variety of beautiful fresh fruit, hot and cold breakfast items, rice, and Asian-inspired bites. The infinity pool is located near the restaurant, Inyō. It's tiled in a beautiful blue that adds a nice contrast to the tan backdrop of the neighboring high-rise buildings. The pool is long and narrow, accented by a series of raised, tiled planter islands that provide a bit of privacy between guests. We were too busy to swim or enjoy the other amenities, but just walking around the grounds was incredibly relaxing. It's a very peaceful place to stay, unlike many of the larger hotel brands. The standout at this hotel was definitely the service. The staff always made eye contact, greeted us warmly, and either asked about or anticipated our needs. This is a hotel that is definitely worth returning to.
