We stayed only one night at the Trump Waikiki and were very impressed with the hotel, its location and the terrific service. The hotel provided a beach bag with towels, water and sunscreen for our day at the beach, then let us have a very late check-out to shower and clean up before we caught our flight back to the mainland. The breakfast buffet was an international affair, with a heavy Asian influence plus American favorites. The flatbreads at the bar/restaurant provided a yummy, reasonably-priced and filling dinner before check-out. Although this hotel is not on the beach, it is a one-block walk through a park to the best section of Waikiki beach. Other hotels that are "on-the-beach" really have no beach, so this location was great! We really enjoyed this hotel and would not hesitate to return.

The staff is very welcoming, accommodating and pays attention to every detail. I loved that they prepared beach bags for the guests! My only complaints were that the pool was too small and the other guests already in the pool pretty much monopolized the space. Also I think the umbrellas and beach chairs should have been complementary.

The reviews have been right. This is not a high roller resort style hotel with a vast number of restaurants and special features, but everything is done very well and the staff are right up there with the very best. At some places you get the irksome impression that the staff are overly nice because they are worried about supervisors, cameras or other staff members so that there shmoozy inquiries into your health and well being become annoying. The Trump staff are caring very willing to help without you feeling like your skin is crawling.

The rooms are very well presented, but perhaps not at fine five star level. The couple of restaurants in the hotel are very expensive when you consider you can walk down the road and have equal quality food for less than half the price.

The concierge staff were knowledgeable and always willing to assist, without it seeming like a chore or with them being over the top.

If you want a resort type hotel, with all of the attending bling, then this is not the hotel for you. If you like to feel very well looked after and fell as if you have uncovered something a bit different with a touch of being 'special', then this is a very good option

This hotel lives up to its reputation from arrival to check-out. The service was near perfect, all staff are friendly and helpful. The only little glitches were a one-off lapse of service at the Wai'oulu Bar where we were a bit forgotten about. The other two times we dined here we had excellent service especially from Jaime. Would recommend the Wai'oulu for its really good Tapas food, and it has great views of the ocean.

The pool is excellent with amazing views. The size of the pool is relatively small compared to some other hotels but works well. The pool service is attentive and friendly especially from Angie. One of our pet peeves is screaming kids and we found this hotel to be pretty much kid free especially when compared to other places like the Embassy Suites which is over the road.

The hotel's breakfast restaurant In Yo is in a beautiful setting and has a good range of food including continental meats, cooked breakfast, fruits, and Japanese style food. We found it expensive at $33 + tax + tip per person. There are many good and cheaper options just a moments walk away.

The room (we were on level 12 room #1214) was very well presented. It had the mini kitchen was well appointed (full range of cooking equipment). A great bathroom with twin basins. This room also had a balcony (Lanai). TV is large, bed is good. The view was city which overlooked the pool of another hotel which was fine. If you do want a view of the ocean go for "ocean view". You will overlook a park through to the ocean. The sunsets are beautiful and the night view is also good with the lit up buildings across the park.

The Hilton lets off fireworks every Friday at 7:45pm so if you are in a room on the park side (the Bar and pool also see this) you'll get a brilliant display! We went to the beach and watched from there which is also excellent.

Overall we would definitely go back to the Trump Hotel.
