Hilton Waikiki Beach

Honolulu, Oahu

Virgin rating

The hotel

This sophisticated hotel's sleek, modern décor is both fresh and reassuringly comfortable — no wonder the Hilton Waikiki Beach is one of Hilton's top ranking hotels for guest satisfaction. Bang in the centre of the Waikiki action, there are numerous shops, bars and restaurants within easy walking distance. Rooms enjoy amazing views over the Koolau mountain range or the Pacific Ocean and there are luxury products in the marble and stone bathrooms. Enjoy 24-hour dining in the hotel's unique MAC 24/7 restaurant, where the pancakes really have to be seen to be believed - of grab a Starbucks coffee and lunch to go as you head on a day exploring the Hawaiian landscapes. Of course, there's no pressure to do anything - simply laze by the rooftop pool and enjoy the tropical sunshine if you fancy.

Do not be fooled. This is not a resort. This is not Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. This is a terrible hotel on Kuhio Avenue that is using the same name as the beautiful Hilton Hawaiian Village which is situated on Waikiki Beach. This one is three blocks away from the beach. And that pool featured in the photo is a small tiny pool.… Read more

We booked transportation from the airport to this hotel using the Hilton Hotel site, which recommended Sky Tours. However we could not locate their offices in the airport and they failed to answer the telephone number we had. Eventually a person at one of the Airport Visitor desks managed to get connected at their second attempt. We were told to go to Area 5 and wait. The bus eventually arrived nearly 30 minutes later. Not a good start when flight numbers and arrival details had been provided. Another passenger with his young family had been waiting even longer. When we arrived at our hotel we reported the disappointing experience to the hotel receptionist. He did not really seem interested despite our reporting that the experience had been recommended by Hilton and did not meet expectations associated with the Hilton brand or reflect well on them. We had been travelling for nearly 24 hours by this time and just craved our beds. We will not use Sky Tours to return to the airport. An Uber costs less and is more dependable. Failing that a Number 20 bus runs from the airport to outside the hotel and costs $3. Having been here a few days we have had issues with the hotel internet cutting out. The Resort charge of $45 a day remains a mystery. An unnecessary charge as we did not see any additional benefits, and just looks greedy. Frankly, any extra charges such as this irritate me and puts me off returning. The pool terrace has some cabanas, which cost $75 for half a day and $150 for all day. There are sunbeds on. the pool terrace but no parasols at all. I have fair skin and such disregard for prevention of skin cancer is not a good sign. We are on a Bed & Breakfast basis. However the breakfast provides a guest with a coupon for a breakfast of $22 or less. This does not allow for selections of cereals, yogurts, fruit, juice, or continental breakfast and I have never had such a limited choice of breakfast in any high end hotel round the world. Pancakes and cooked breakfast is good but a little heavy for my taste. There were other breakfast dishes which cost $1 more, which seems rather petty to exclude them from guests with coupons.

A friend and I booked a City View room with 2 queen beds for 7 nights. We arrived on a very early flight but were able to leave our bags and were also given access to the amenities whilst waiting for our room to be ready. Whilst a little dated in some areas of the hotel we found our room to be modern and spacious enough for the two of us and housekeeping kept it lovely and clean. We received outstanding service from Michelle at the concierge desk who recommended a Lu'au (which was the highlight of our trip). She really is an asset to your hotel. Pros: Great beds - so comfy Fantastic pool deck area Friendly and helpful staff Only a block from the beach Public transport right outside Cons: Resort fees are a little steep (but also not something we're used to in NZ) Read less

We stayed @ the Hilton waikiki beach resort and spa. It was a waste of my 175K points rewards. I am a good member. The restaurant food was terrible. It was from the package and cans warmed up to the table. We used the bottle if ketchup on the table. It was black in color. I checked the date on the bottle and dated for 08/20.

We stayed @ the Hilton waikiki beach resort and spa. It was a waste of my 175K points rewards. I am a good member. The restaurant food was terrible. It was from the package and cans warmed up to the table. We used the bottle if ketchup on the table. It was black in color. I checked the date on the bottle and dated for 08/20. I asked for the manager , never showed up. I purchased breakfast @ the front cafe. The food was bad even the date on package was correct and up to date but the food inside package was spoiled. I talk to the manager @ the front desk. Just she was sorry. I went to get beach chairs. They only gave me one and asked to pay for the second. Even you book the room for two and pay high dollars for resort fees which includes beach chairs. The answer was sorry and those people do not work for Hilton but contractors. I refused one chair. I called two days out of three for coffe bags and cups. They did not leave us any coffee bags. Read less

I have a mountain view room on the 30th floor and this is lovely to look at. My room is nice, but really surprising, the wardroom is in the bathroom at the side...

I have a mountain view room on the 30th floor and this is lovely to look at. My room is nice, but really surprising, the wardroom is in the bathroom at the side... Never ever have I experienced this before and hope not to again. Its expensive, glass of wine $14 but the most shocking and what we didn't know about, is the nightly room charge for extra amenities.... $45. This seems excessive to me, as I've not received anything extra. Very close to the beach, five minutes walk which is handy, also right outside the hotel you can catch a local bus. I've found the staff very friendly. Read less
