Hotels with Kitchenette in Honolulu

"Located at the start of Waikiki Beach, to the left you'll find Waikiki Beach and the shopping street, and to the right is Ala Moana, the largest outdoor mall – all within walking distance. Picture 1 shows the bus stop in front of the mall. I used Uber these past few days, so I didn't get to experience the public bus. In front of the hotel is the Hilton lagoon (Picture 2), which is great for kids to play in, as the sand on Waikiki Beach can be a bit coarse. As for the hotel's interior, it's pretty much what you'd expect from an older property. There's a laundry room on the second floor where you can get ice and drinking water. There's also a very small pool. The biggest advantage of this hotel is definitely that they don't charge a resort fee."

"I stayed three nights in a partial ocean view room and four nights in an ocean view room. If the price difference isn't significant, definitely opt for the ocean view room – the experience is so much better (the partial ocean view room barely has any ocean view to speak of). The room itself was decent, and the cleanliness was okay, but the towels had a strange smell. The hotel's location is super convenient. The second floor connects directly to the Ala Moana shopping center, and there's a Don Quijote next door, making it very easy to shop and eat. It's about a 10-minute taxi ride to Waikiki, or a 30-minute walk. Personally, I prefer the nearby Ala Moana Beach, it's very chill. Car rental parking is also convenient. Parking is charged from 1 PM, costing $41 for 24 hours. [Pictures 1 & 2 show the view from Ocean View Room 1915; Picture 3 shows the view from Partial Ocean View Room 1104]"

"The hotel's location is excellent, making it super convenient to get around. The front desk staff were very helpful, and check-in was quick. There are free activities available every day, and some paid excursions like island hopping. My only complaint is that it was a bit noisy at night."

"I had a last-minute reservation the day before, but the check-in process was smooth. Plus, I was able to communicate with the staff, who seemed concerned about other guests who had also had last-minute bookings due to bad weather (perhaps their flights were cancelled?), which made me feel a little relieved. Although it's in Waikiki, it's a little off the beaten path, requiring a 5-10 minute walk. There's an ABC Mart (like a convenience store) on the other side of the main street, behind the building, which was convenient. The kitchen was spacious, there were many types of glasses, and the closet was large, including a chest of drawers, making it a very convenient hotel for business trips or long-term stays."

"ワイキキビーチまで徒歩7分くらいでとても良いロケーションでした。ホテルの人たちも優しかったです。清掃は3日に1回してくれます。ビーチで使えるタオルも貸してくれるのがとてもよかったです。使用後のタオルはロビーで返却するため、部屋が汚れず済みます。タオルを返却したら、貸し出しカードが戻ってきて、また次の日も他のビーチに行く際貸してもらえました。レンタカーを使用したため、駐車場を借りましたがどこでも停めていいとの案内でしたが、満車だったため、そこを伝えたらホテルの車を移動してくれました。この値段でこのロケーションに泊まれて大満足です！節約はしたいけどホステルは嫌だ、最低限綺麗なところに泊まりたいという方にはおすすめです！また、ホテルの近くにある''まぐろスポット''というポケがいつも行列ができていたため、気になり試したらとても美味しかったのでおすすめです。"

"I recently stayed at this hotel in the Penthouse and, overall, had a pleasant stay. However, there were several areas where the guest experience could be improved. Pros: * The location is convenient, with Waikiki Beach approximately a 15-minute walk away. * There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, although I would recommend making reservations in advance as many are very popular. * There are numerous ABC Stores nearby, making it easy to pick up snacks, drinks, souvenirs, and other essentials. * A special mention goes to Ralph, who was outstanding throughout our stay. He was friendly, approachable, and always happy to help with any questions or recommendations. He quickly became our go-to person whenever we needed assistance and is a real credit to the hotel. Cons: * Upon arrival, we were not offered the welcome drink that other guests appeared to receive. We checked in shortly after 3:00 pm, yet we saw guests arriving at around 9:30 pm the previous evening being offered welcome drinks. It was disappointing that this was not provided consistently. * We were never informed that the hotel offers complimentary beach umbrellas and chairs on a first come, first served basis. We ended up purchasing our own before accidentally overhearing another member of staff explain this benefit during another guest’s check-in. * Similarly, we only discovered that the hotel offers a complimentary walking tour after overhearing a different staff member mention it to another guest. It would have been helpful if all guests were informed about the activities and amenities available during check-in. * We booked the Penthouse expecting to fully enjoy the advertised 90-degree views. While the views themselves were excellent, the balcony was much smaller than expected and not really large enough to comfortably sit and enjoy them. * The bathroom, particularly the bathtub, felt dated and would benefit from refurbishment. * The room itself is showing its age and could do with a modern refresh. * The breakfast room is exceptionally small considering the number of guests staying at the hotel. During busy periods it becomes crowded and difficult to find seating. * One morning, a guest was allowed to bring a dog into the enclosed, air-conditioned breakfast room. To my understanding, this is not permitted under Hawaii law unless the animal is a legitimate service animal, and it made the dining experience uncomfortable. * The Skyline floor cannot be accessed using the elevator on the far left, which was inconvenient and not clearly explained. * At check-in, a $200 deposit was authorised along with an additional hold on my credit card. This extra charge was never explained by staff, and I only became aware of it after reviewing my credit card statement. Greater transparency regarding incidental holds would have been appreciated. Overall, the hotel is in a good location with helpful staff, especially Ralph, and provides a comfortable base for exploring Waikiki. However, there were several inconsistencies in communication and a number of facilities that would benefit from updating. Better communication during check-in about available amenities, clearer explanations of credit card holds, and refurbishment of the rooms would significantly improve the overall guest experience."
