Hotels near Pearl Harbor, Honolulu

Much better than Hilton, with a great location, all on Waikiki Beach. Hilton has no service at all, Prince is a Japanese hotel after all, the service is good, I booked Diamond Sea Barracks, the view is good, there are sailboats

Our recent stay at Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu was a blend of highs and lows, with its strengths balanced by a few notable drawbacks. Situated in a reasonably good location and boasting cleanliness throughout, the hotel offered convenience and comfort in many aspects with a great pool and bar area including a separate adults pool. However, certain factors detracted from the overall experience, leaving us with mixed feelings about our time there. Let's start with the positives. The hotel's location, while not directly in the heart of the city hub, offered a decent compromise between convenience and tranquility. Close proximity to Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon provided easy access to beach activities and waterfront relaxation, adding a touch of serenity to our stay. Additionally, we found the hotel to be impeccably clean, with well-maintained facilities and a commi**ent to hygiene that was commendable. Despite these strengths, there were some notable downsides to our experience. The most significant inconvenience was the walking distance to the main city hub, which required a 15-20 minute walk to reach popular attractions, dining establishments, and shopping venues. While not a dealbreaker, this added a layer of logistical planning to our daily activities and limited spontaneity. Another issue that significantly impacted our stay was the persistent noise from the elevator. Unfortunately, our room was located close to the elevator, resulting in constant disturbances throughout the day and night. The loud mechanical noises disrupted our sleep and detracted from the overall ambiance of relaxation that we had hoped for. In summary, Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu offered a mix of positives and negatives during our stay. While the hotel's cleanliness and proximity to Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon were definite highlights, the walking distance from the city hub, the disruptive elevator noise, and having to pay for hotel parking detracted from the overall experience.

- The hotel's location and surroundings are very good, such as location and access to the beach - Good daily room cleanliness. - Breakfast is not available, so you have to go out every time or buy takeout food to solve it. - Parking fee is charged daily (one day fee is charged for late afternoon arrival and early departure), - At the time of hotel reservation, we informed that it was a trip to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, but there was no congratulatory message or consideration at all.

I got my flight delayed and missed my connecting flight. Ended up to the beauty pf Hawaii and this hotel. My stay was amazing! Beyond! The rooms are spacious and they gave me the most amazing view and corner room. Everything is within your footsteps! Every staff is lovely and helpful! The Guy Glenn was so helpful and the one responsible in my ridonkulously amazing room!

The Doubletree hotel location is not too bad (10 min walk to Royal Hawaiian Center) but the hotel is quite dated. Expect dust on the ceiling, dirty vent, aged facility. Staff are friendly but limited services can be expected since usually there are only 2 FD staff to deal with all things. No hot water for last night I stayed but FD was able to give me a different room to b shower. Unfortunately the pool was under maintenance and they let us use the Hilton Hawaiian pool (See pic) and that was nice. Overall for the location wise and price wise, I think Doubletree has good value.

Hi! Before I will say some worlds about the hotel, I want to thank heartily the night manager Gerald( hope to type his name properly), he is originally from France. He is the one who has made our stay comfortable, pleasant and surprising during our check out. The problem was that first several nights we have suffered from noise in the neighbouring rooms. First 2 nights it was a loud music listening. Gerald has quickly addressed the issue, made a call, sent the security. The next night again the same problem happened. Gerald again has managed to solve the issue and we were not disturbed again. But in the third night a company have gathered in a different neighbouring room, there were screams, squeals and some different loud sounds. It was not easy, but Gerald again has solved the problem. We didn’t like that 3 nights we have suffered but huge and soft beds have eliminated the feeling. Once the tea bags were out and Gerald brought them by himself with a big variety and very fast. When we were checking out, it was a surprise when manager returned us the full sum of taxes and fees that we had paid separately for our stay. She told that it was Gerald, who approved with the hotel manager the pay back because of the all the inconveniences our neighbours caused us. That was a real customer oriented service, outstanding personal approach and the will to make our stay unforgettable. Thank you, Gerald for your personal great and customer oriented attitude to the guests! All the best to you and hope, you can be promoted soon. The emotions from stay are mostly made by staff! So thanks to hotel manager, who has hired a great team of professionals! As for the facilities, the rooms are huge, very new, very cosy and fresh with great and comfortable beds, huge TV, sofa, stationery table, fridge, balcony. It was a pleasant stay there, including a tea pot with tea bags, coffee bags and water. In the lower level, in lobby, there was a microwave, fresh still water that you can replenish, breakfasts can be served as well. The rooms are cleaned every 2/3 days, we had an issue with cleaning service, since I have asked several times to change the towels, to take out the trash for 2 days, unfortunately nothing was done before I have met a service manager. The room staff pretends they don’t understand English , hide from you, are not proactive. Some young reception girls seems to be nervous from time to time. The beach towels are provided to go to the beach as well as pool towels. The location is good to get to main streets, shops and restaurants. There are many supermarkets working until midnight nearby. I strongly recommend the hotel and wish to be back next year! Thank you all! Ekaterina

The Ritz Carlton Waikiki delivers a true 5-star experience. From the minute you arrive to when you leave you are greeted by name whether in person or on the phone. Our special requests were either met or exceeded. The room was super-clean and well stocked with more than enough towels, robes and slippers, coffee and tea. Requests for more hangers, a bucket of ice or anything else were taken care of without delay. The bed was super-comfortable, as good as any I’ve experienced in a hotel. The staff were, without exception, professional, courteous and super-friendly at all times. We didn’t eat in any of the restaurants but the Dean and DeLuca store was a good source of pastries and coffee to bring back to the room. The view we had was ocean and, it’s worth noting, sitting on the lanai was a bit noisy, this is a very urban and busy location so the upside is it’s close to shopping. The adult pool fills up quickly so it’s worth getting there before the sun comes round. The very pretty beach is an easy 10 minute walk and the hotel provides beach towels and water at no charge. Chairs and umbrellas are easily rented on the beach. As there is a small kitchen we stocked up on a few snack and drink items. Do yourselves a favor, stay out of the over-priced ABC’s and head to the Waikiki Market the inventory and prices are way better. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Ritz Carlton and look forward to staying at the next one, maybe Maui?

Originally, I saw the recommendation from Kevin, a teacher from Taiwan, but I don't know if his hotel has changed management or what. We stayed there for seven consecutive days with children and the elderly. First of all, the location is good, but it's not directly next to the sea and you have to walk a little. Secondly, he started to make things difficult for us from the check-in. We arrived after 12 o'clock, and he insisted that the room was not ready unless I paid more than 250 dollars a day to check in immediately. So we chose to wait first, and the babies were not feeling well due to jet lag at 2 o'clock. I asked him if I could check in early with a tip. In fact, it was already past 2 o'clock, and he agreed to let us check in. Then there was the most terrible breakfast problem. I chose breakfast included on Ctrip, but after arriving, I was handed a bill every day for me to sign. I said I didn't understand it and no one explained it to me. I called Ctrip, but I didn't get a good response. Then on the third day, the dark-skinned waitress who was in charge of ushering people into the inyo cafe started to roll her eyes at us, just because the child didn't understand English and went in early. On the fourth day, she rolled her eyes and ignored me when I talked to her, which led me to complain to their front desk. Because I can speak Japanese, I had a complete communication with a Japanese front desk. But the hotel didn't apologize at all. In the following days, we didn't want her to disgust us again, so we didn't go down. As a result, we asked them to bring up two of our included breakfasts. They thought that this was called à la carte room service. It was speechless. Moreover, the food in the breakfast room was quite simple, and there were occasional typhoons, and the food was full of dust. Alas, I hope you will be careful when choosing, or just don't go to their breakfast.

So....got a great rate on Travelzoo voucher for 4 nights. This hotel has been remodeled and is still in process of completing some work in common areas. Starbucks opened when I was there, and Monkeypod will open in the future. Staff was fabulous! No complaints there. I was able to check in early and got a partial ocean view on floor 11. Room was spotless. My only complaint, and it's a big one for me, is the soundproofing. I should say lack of it! Doors are HEAVY and each open and shut on the floor nearby is a shock to the sleeper. Also, the wind whistled and the band and traffic comes right in through slider to balcony. The band stops at 9, so that was no problem, and very nice. But....I hated the door slams and other interior noises. If you are a light sleeper, I don't think you will enjoy yourself. I wore ear plugs. Location is superb! It really can't be beat. Pool is OK. The jacuzzi was kind of icky. One being closed the entire time, the other kind of grey and the one attached to the pool generally full of kids. No jacuzzi for me. Towels and loungers were readily available. No problems there. We did have a problem at restaurant/ bar with what we think was bad turkey or mayo on a club. My grandson and I got sick within a couple hours. Unfortunately for the maintenance staff there was some cleaning up to do in the bathroom. The staff responded immediately and were so nice about it. I cannot thank them enough. However, when I reported this to the restaurant manager in the morning I was not totally happy with his response. All in all, I would stay there again for what I paid for it.

We are just back from our stay at the Embassy Suites and recommend it for larger families. Having two rooms gives everyone invaluable space. Rooms are nice and tidy. Location is excellent. We were lucky to get the pool area for 2 days before it shut down for re-tiling … going across the road was inconvenient but our kids are older so it wasn’t too bad. The beach it’s near is Ft. Derussey which is really nice and not as busy as Waikiki Beach. It’s right in the middle of everything when it comes to shopping and eating and the complimentary breakfast is good. I would stay here again. Our room was on the 7th Floor of the Hula Tower and even though we didn’t request it we had an amazing clear view to the water (looking to the right) which was a nice surprise.
