the location is good - central to waikiki, walking distance to beach, BUT: - very loud traffic noise (and that in an extra-paid 12th floor ocean view room. why? because hotel is at a fork of a major traffic artery and ther windows are single-paned, the doors to balcony not tight, the air con set in a hole in the...

Why this place is so rated so badly I don’t know? Location is good, staff are friendly, the rooms are secure its just cheap & cheerful. Please don’t compare this to the Trump or other big branded hotels, this place does not try to be one, it’s a BUDGET hotel. We paid backpacker prices via the ‘Hawaii 5-0’ offer on... More

My rental car was parked overnight in the valet service of the hotel. The next morning I discovered dried pieces of concrete all over the car. The manager told me they would take care of the damages but so far have not returned calls. The hotel itself is sufficient but I feel they should take responsibility for acts of vandalism... More

The price of the hotel was good, but the rooms are horrible. I guess you really get what you pay for. These rooms are very outdated. When you sit on the bed you sink like you are going to fall in, the bathroom had ants on the counter (so I left my toothbrush and toothpaste in my luggage every night... More

The room I had was a deluxe ocean view. It was a fabulous room, two balconies one looking over Fort Derussey Park to the uninterrupted ocean views, the other overlooking Waikiki city with a glimpse of Diamond Head through the buildings. The rooms were very clean even though they are older. Mini bar fridge was of good size and worked... More

Given the price, the hotel was alright. Not bad. I think the lobby must have been recently renovated as it is not quite representative of the state of the actual room/s. Having said that, the room I stayed in was ok, covered the basic requirements. Location is not bad. More

DO NOT STAY AT THIS "HOTEL". I stayed with my family at the Waikiki Gateway Hotel for the first time 6 years ago, and having returned now I never will again. Apparently the hotel was "renovated", but this only seems to apply to the foyer and penthouse which are conveniently also the only photos that they share on their website.... More

Do not read anything but this!!!!! We had the time of our life at this fantastic S A F E place... We are telling everyone we know to stay here... Whosoever can say anything other than highest compliments to this hotel, in every way, are excessively self-indulgent, pampered and incapable of exercising good judgement forgetting how to say anything good...

This is a horrible hotel to stay. No bathroom & shower near the swimming pool area. When spoke to the hotel front-desk manager - there was no apology but a rude 'who cares??' attitude. When I told him that this pool condition will be reported to Department of Health, we were told to 'PACK-UP & LEAVE' - although we were... More
