My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a full 7 nights on our honeymoon. We were very impressed! Very cute, very clean, and very nice staff! We were very kindly upgraded to their biggest room because we had a lot of trouble with the wifi in our room. We didn't even have to ask, they just offered! I... More

This hotel was close to most of shopping, restaurant and most of all our needs. Clean, simple and we enjoyed staying this place. It is not most gorgeous hotel that sit in patio or terrace to enjoy ocean view but if you want to go beach, people are walking there from this hotel and you can save $$$. We liked... More

Bathroom was a little small but more than adequate and lots of hot water. Clean towels everyday. Air con was good and not noisy. Bed very comfortable. All staf very friendly... More

The location was a managable walk to the beach, but not close. The room was nice, but small. Staff was very friendly, but did give me incorrect directions to Trade Center. Breakfast was only the basics, bagels and muffins.

Aloha, Thank you for your review. I am glad that our staff was available to assist you with your questions but sorry to hear that there must have been a miscommunication upon explaining the directions. In order to aid our guests in getting to their destinations, we have walking maps of Waikiki available at the front desk. Thank you again.... More

We stayed at this hotel for 6 nights of April 2013, in a city view room with two double beds. The room was small, with a very bathroom, but was decorated nicely. The bathroom was nothing fancy, but was clean and functional. The room is equipped with a key card that must be kept in to keep any AC on... More

Three blocks down from Waikiki Beach in a good location, a recently renovated former Best Western, fun and whimsical decor, valet service, friendly and helpful staff--all that is great. But....the rooms and bathrooms are TINY (even by European standards); the in-window air conditioners are so close to the bed that they blow right on you from 3 feet away and... More

We stayed at the Coconut Waikiki for four nights. We had been on an 18nt cruise from Sydney and this hotel ticked all the boxes for us. The staff cannot do enough for you. The hotel provides a small continental breakfast in the morning, perfect to get you started. Fresh mint water and juice is always available throughout the day.... More

We stayed here for 4 nights the end of April. The service was wonderful. Very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. We needed a place to sleep and this fit the bill.

Great little hotel a little off the main drag - which makes it nice and quiet. Used our points for a weeks worth of stay - for some reason, alot of adverts indicate this hotel as still part of the Best Western chain, although it has been no longer associated for over 6 months. This hotel is a great place... More
