How you would rate this place I guess depends on how much you paid for it. I'm reviewing this hotel as a low-priced property. It's OK. You will probably get a decent-sized room with a kitchenette with bare-bones necessities. It's an older property so the kitchenette doesn't have a dishwasher, the cabinets are a bit worn, and some of the... More

We visit our family twice a year, and our hotel of choice in Honolulu is the Ambassador. The hotel is close to everything within walking distance, very clean ,and a friendly & informative staff that shows everyone that stays there what the Aloha spirt is all about. If your not looking for the expensive resort experience, this is the hotel... More

Room was spacious and comfortable. Older, but well kept. Walk to Waikiki didn't take too long (depending how fast you walk). Convenience store next door. We tried to check in a little earlier than normal check in time (around lunchtime). We couldn't checkin to the room as it wasn't yet cleaned. The reception told us the guaranteed time the room...

The location of this hotel is excellent, minutes away from the centre of busy Kalakau Avenue and 10 minute walk from the beach (little longer to Waikiki beach however). The only downside for us when we arrived was the position of our room on the 2nd floor (standard rooms are on floors 2 to 6). I had really wanted a... More

The Bad first: Musty smelling room. Loud a/c. Parking will cost $20 per night across the street. When my boyfriend and I checked in the hotel, the Asian front desk girl had no smile, no personality, and was not helpful. She asked for a credit card to "hold" the room. My boyfriend offered his debit card (he was going to... More

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Ambassador Hotel. The rooms were spacious and were kept very clean. The staff was wonderful and very friendly. Although this hotel is old (there was a slightly musty smell when we first entered), once we allowed the room to air out, it was fine and it was a real nice... More

I enjoyed my stay. Room was clean and the staff very friendly. Parking was scarce and expensive. Lots to see and do in the area.

Ok location (10 min walk to the main Waikiki beach and main strip), older hotel but huge room, bathroom and kitchen space. We were on the 7th floor (room 730), the view was great. We had everything from mini fridge, toaster to plates and utensils. We bought breakfast food and snacks in the supermarket (pricy and options were limited). Hotel... More
