While the rooms are small they are very clean. The decor is creative; the service friendly. Location is perfect ... within easy walking distance of the heart of Waikiki and Ala Moana shopping center but far enough away to be out of the tourist craziness! Highly recommend. more

Very cute hotel, typical small rooms of Honolulu, but very clean and close to everything. I recommend you do not rent a car as this hotel is near everything and parking was pricey. more

We booked this room as a stopover between flights using the the Priceline service (where you pick the area and the price and are booked into a mystery hotel). It was pretty good at GBP45 incl tax for the night. The bed was very comfy and the room pleasant. Boutique in this case seemed to be an old hotel with... more

What a great boutique hotel, located so close to good shopping, fine beaches, the yacht club, and, wacky Waikiki. The staff is so personal and helpful. The rooms are so nicely appointed with big bamboo beds and tropical decor. The air conditioning is so quiet and efficient. I love the fridge and tiny kitchen set up. The price for the... more

This hotel was the perfect place for us to stay. The friendly atmosphere capped off what was a fantastic hotel. The staff were amazing, really friendly and personable...they remembered us from day to day and helped us out when we needed it. The rooms were awesome too...the amazing-ness of the beds actually tempted us to give up on the Hawaiian... more

We stayed at The Equus and loved it. The front desk staff was very welcoming and helpful. The room was very new and clean. We had a king size bed with lots of pillows which was very comfortable. We enjoyed the big flat screen TV and free high speed internet. The continental breakfast had lots of fresh fruit which I... more

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Equus with very helpful staff both prior to my arrival and once I got there (especially Rene). Although there was no wireless internet in the room, the cable link was very good. The location of the hotel is great too as it is nice and close to the Ala Moana Centre for excellent shopping. more

Mariah Dailey, Director of Guest Services

We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the lack of wireless internet in the room. We originally had wireless access but it seems that in this area the cabled internet is much more efficient and dependable. We are working on having an option for both which we will decide shortly. I hope that everything else about your stay was acceptable....

The service was great, the front desk staff was very helpful. The lobby has internet access per minute basis. There are 2 pools and tennis courts. We enjoyed the room. We had 1 huge bed in our room which was very comfortable and liked the fact that the room could be blacked out but also had a balcony with nice... more
