Honolulu Hotels with Bars

"Location: The best. Waikiki beach is just a street away, there is a convenience store beside. Room: The room is very spacious except for the bathroom. The bathroom design was old and had little space to move around. Experience: They do daily housekeeping and had very pleasant experience with the front desk. They serve free snacks in the counter and let me borrow their umbrella. Price: One of the cheapest in Honolulu for the service Overall: I would definitely comeback. This is the best option if you're in a budget."

"I specially booked this hotel to watch the fireworks on Friday. The location is really a plus, and it is very close to the fireworks beach. The sea view room has a good view. Outside the window is the yacht dock, and there is the sea in the distance. The night atmosphere is full. Next to it is the Hilton Resort. The surrounding environment is very comfortable. There is also the largest outlet nearby, which is very convenient for eating and shopping. I am very satisfied with the overall experience."

"1) The escalator leading from the lobby to the mezzanine level was out of order. Given the makeshift barrier on the mezzanine level, it looked like the escalator had been out of commission for some time. Quite a shame from a convenience standpoint. 2) I had checked into the hotel after midnight because of a flight delay so I was pretty exhausted and fell asleep quickly after taking a shower, brushing my teeth, etc. I woke up in the middle of my first night's stay noticing a foul odor. After walking around the room and initially thinking it was coming from the A/C vent, I pinpointed the origin of the bad smell to the linens: the pillowcases, sheets, blanket. It smelled like a dirty wet sponge or clothes that never dried completely but were put back in the dresser drawer. I pulled all of the linens off the bed and left a note for housekeeping to replace them because of a foul odor. They did and it was fine the rest of my stay, but the point is I never should have had to do that. 3) Upon returning from my uncle's funeral Saturday night, to my dismay I found 20-30 cars that had been double-parked by the valets in the hotel parking lot. After circling the lot several times in the hopes of catching someone leaving but having no success, I decided to look into valet parking, figuring that since I was a hotel guest they would have something worked out. When the valet told me the valet fee was $49 even for hotel guests I was flabbergasted and declined. He instructed me to go back to the parking garage and speak to the parking attendant to ask about my parking options. When I got there, the parking attendant initially refused to come out of his booth to help me so I had to enter the garage, go all the way around to the exit and talk to him so that he didn't have to leave his booth. He pointed at a white car parked outside and told me to look for parking ”around there.” I asked him if that was assigned to the hotel, because I did not want to wake up tomorrow morning to discover that my rental car had been towed or impounded. He did not convince me that this was not a possibility so I parked the car where he instructed me to, took photos of the area, and went to the hotel registration desk to look further into the parking situation. The signage was also not clear. When I got to the registration desk, I was helped by an employee who seemed to have a French accent. He was definitely European, with very short hair. I explained what had just happened with the parking and he told me that the hotel did not have ”jurisdiction” over that parking area and he could not guarantee me that my car would not be towed. There happened to be another employee, a local guy, just finishing a transaction with a hotel guest so I moved one station over and asked him the same question. He clarified the situation and explained that that outside parking area (in the middle, under the ramp) was overflow parking for the hotel, and, as long as my hotel parking pass was clearly displayed, my car could remain there for the duration of my stay."

"Overall, the Hilton hotel was decent. However, during check-in, they always try to upsell you to the Rainbow Tower. But if you get a room on the lagoon side of the Rainbow Tower, you only get a partial sea view, so paying extra isn't really worth it. They offer a good variety of activities, like fish feeding and craft workshops. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, as well as small shops and handicraft stores, so finding food is absolutely no problem. The stay was quite comfortable too. I specifically went to see the weekend fireworks, and watching them from the beach was absolutely fantastic, though it was quite crowded. I'd definitely stay here again on my next visit."

"Booking in at reception was a friendly and very easy experience. The room was good but had more of a close up view of bushes than a City View. The food I had was good, however the bar was often very busy with just one person making the food and serving drinks. I tried to get served a few times but had to leave and returned a bit later for service. The location was very good for bus services and convenient for walking to local Waikiki beaches and along Kalakaua Ave."

"I stayed for three nights this time, and the location's convenience was impeccable. The front desk staff were also very friendly. However, the room I was assigned next to the elevator was not a good choice for those seeking a quiet rest, as the poor soundproofing meant that the noise from the operating elevator was impossible to ignore."

"Nice hotel in the heart of Honolulu. The room was spacious, but unfortunately the view from the balcony was of the neighboring building and there was no elevator. Check-in took quite a long time and the bartender was also quite grumpy. The rest of the staff was very friendly. All in all, we would come again."

"I had seen a lot of negative reviews on various platforms before, but I didn't experience any of those issues myself. 1. I checked in earlier than the official time. The front desk staff was very friendly and explained that my room was still being cleaned, so I couldn't check in immediately. I left my luggage and went out shopping. While I was out, the hotel called to say my room was ready, which was earlier than the standard check-in time. 2. I discussed my room preferences with the front desk, and I was pleasantly surprised when I got to my room. It felt much better than what I had booked."

"Spent 2 nights at Hotel La Croix on Oahu. Arrived quite early; around noon and figured I’d try to see if I could get an early check in. The front desk employee, Vince, recognized me from my last stay there a couple months ago. He helped my parents and I get into an available room for an early check in.  Room was clean and had a good view of the city which I wish I took some photos of. If there was one downside I think it would have to be the pillows. There were pretty flat and well used but clean. Definitely wish they were bigger and more life to them.  Overall the stay was great. No issues and the manager Craig also suggested some good places to go an eat at."

"We were on the 11th floor, and the water pressure was excellent! I'm not sure why some reviews mentioned low water pressure. I highly recommend this hotel (for those who aren't obsessed with ocean views), because our balcony faced the ocean. If an ocean view is a must-have for you, then you might want to look elsewhere. Out of the three Hilton hotels we stayed at in Hawaii this trip, this one offered the best value for money. The only downside was that they called at 9:30 AM to remind us that check-out was at 11 AM? And then around 10 AM, someone knocked on the door asking if we wanted housekeeping. It was a bit odd, but besides that, the hotel was perfect. Parking was $65 a night, which is more expensive than the Ritz-Carlton at Turtle Bay and the Disneyland Hotel (where it was $40-45) that I've stayed at. The beach is just one block away from the hotel. If I go back, this will be my top choice; the value for money is really good."
