This was an incredibly satisfying place to stay. The staff was stunningly helpful with absolutely everything. They called us by name from the first time we walked in. The room, a City View King, was huge - and made such a great use of space...what with the space under the bed to store luggage, and the bench and drawers in... more

This hotel has a nice location, one block from the beach and only 50 meters from Resortquest at the south end of Waikiki. It's a small boutique hotel with a very nice reception. The people working there are extremely service minded. We felt welcome the second we entered the hotel. The hotel serves complimentary continental breakfass. The corridors leading to... more

Expected far more, based on prior reviews, but the hotel does not live up to TripAdvisor reviews or their own hype. This is not a #1 hotel. While the decor is interesting, the room was not practical for a couple staying for 5 days. The bathroom is so dark I never saw my face during the entire stay. There is... more

Aloha NewYorkCityGriff, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent stay at Hotel Renew. I am rather surprised to hear that you found our bathroom lighting to be insufficient as we have three separate light fixtures. I am also amazed to hear about your experience with our desk agents. We pride ourselves on excellent guest services and work very hard...

If a quiet, subdued hotel experience is more your style, Hotel Renew is your choice. In comparison to its company and to the brashness of Waikiki generally, Hotel Renew is a welcome oasis. Rooms are elegantly decorated. Hotel is well situated. The staff is oriented to providing excellent guest services; no request was too great. The continental breakfast was carb-heavy... more

Hotel Renew is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed there in late May and the location is excellent in Waikiki. The newly refurbished rooms are excellent and they are quite spacious. The views from up high (9th floor) are great of the ocean but no balcony unfortunately. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough to help you.... more

I stayed at three hotels during a conference on the Big Island and a vacation in Honolulu. My Big Island hotels were very nice, but always dinging me for things like internet access and phone calls and parking spaces. We headed to Oahu and arrived at the Renew. Now, it's not a very large hotel in terms of number of... more

Hotel Renew was a great place to stay because of the people who work there. They really did everything possible to make our stay perfect. We were welcomed at check-in with cold pineapple juice and cool towels, very nice after a long flight from the mainland. We made some special requests during our stay and our needs were always taken... more

Hotel Renew was more than just a hotel but also an all around great experience. If you don't read this entire review - at least know this. You will not go wrong booking this hotel. The staff at this hotel is fabulous. I cannot compliment them enough. The location is great and the hotel clean and comfortable. The Staff: The... more

Like preceding reviews my wife and I had a fantastic stay. Service is what sets this hotel apart. From remembering your name to friendly smiles the staff is wonderful. Leonor (executive housekeeper) is the hotels matriarch. If it was cold outside (not likely in Hawaii) she would make sure you have your mittens. Any request or concern is dealt with... more

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Renew for a week. The room was very clean and attractively arranged. The staff was friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, especially Ms. Leonor Wong, the executive housekeeper, who arranged for a special present on hearing that we were newly wed. It was very easy... more
