The building is old and beyond the lobby it looks pretty worn. The carpet in our room was filthy - the tub had been re-enameled but was peeling badly. The elevators are fairly temperamental. The staff - front desk, bell and concierges were great - not so for the cleaning staff. They were friendly enough but not too anxious to... More

We enjoyed staying here. It is a great location with clean rooms, friendly staff, and nice ammenities (fridge, microwave, internet, beach towel and chair checkout). We also stayed 2 years ago and everything was kept up just fine. We ended up arriving at the hotel at 2am and they held our room and were pleasant and efficient to get us... More

My wife & I stayed at the Aqua Palms for 7 days for our holiday. Overall we enjoyed the hotel but a few things were disappointing. The Good: Hotel is in a great location, within 10 mins walk of the Ala Moana shopping centre, the main strip and Waikiki beach. Trolley(bus) stops are just outside the hotel too. Receptionists were... More

This place was called a "Spa" when I booked it, it isn't. Secondly, the "partial ocean view" rooms are on an incredibly busy street. The noise dampening in the room is terrible. Without the ear plugs there would be no way to sleep. In talking to other guests, many of them booked the same rooms we did then moved to... More

Aloha Zigzagg: Mahalo for sharing your recent stay with us! Yes, unfortunately our spa location did close in mid-December. We are however offering "Infinity Fitness" which provides in room massages as an alternative. Our location in the big city does come with some traffic noise, but also offers a great location with shops and restaurants all within walking distance and... More

My husband and I stayed here while in the process of relocating to Hawaii. He is in the Navy and transferred to Pearl Harbor and the Palm had a great rate for military travel at about $100 per night with free parking and breakfast. Lodging in Hawaii, particularly in January and February, is VERY expensive (motel style rooms can go... More

This was a very reasonably priced hotel for Hawaii but the staff and their efficiency made up for any possible lack of "razzmatazz" - good value for money would definately book again in preference to somewhere more expensive like the HHV. We emailed Patty prior to our departure and even though the no vacancy sign was up through some of... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a friend's wedding in May 2010. We chose to stay here because of the price and the ratings.

Stayed here in October 2011 as part of a round the world trip. Not a bad hotel, but not great either. Make sure you get a sea view / Diamond Head view room as much better than simply looking out over the city. Breakfast is in a pancake place next door - not great! Our rooms had mini kitchen, microwave... More
