“Beach side tranquility”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

This hidden gem remains provides a respite from the nearby hustle and bustle of Waikiki, but still just steps form the beach. You will not find a more friendly staff or better service, even at resorts charging three times more. The rooms are well appointed, comfortable, and quiet with easy lobby access and no mobs at the elevators. Whether breath-taking mountain side or the heart-stopping ocean horizon, whichever view you choose, you will not be disappointed. I wish I worked here.

“Fantastic location, gorgeous common areas, sumptuous bathroom!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

This property was previously the Prince Kuhio Hotel, and is just one short block away from the heart of Waikiki Beach. Far enough away to avoid the noise and challenges of the beach, but close enough for an easy stroll. The lobby and common area are gorgeous. My room on the 35th floor was very well appointed (not "OMG INCREDIBLE" but very nice) but the bathroom was GORGEOUS! No tub, but a very large and enjoyable shower (if you really want a tub, be sure to ask for a room with a bathtub). Staff was extremely helpful and accommodating - from the front desk, to the concierge, to the bellmen and the auto valets. There are only 2 drawbacks from point of view: #1. Parking. This is a valet only hotel, so you have to allow time for the valet to bring your car down. Not a huge deal, but keep that in mind if you have a car. #2. Executive Lounge is not "Executive". This only applies to guests with access to the Executive Lounge, but it looks and feels more like an employee lounge. Not up to par with other Hilton Executive Lounges at all. Two minor drawbacks. I will definitely stay at this hotel again in the future.

Room Tip: I had a room that had a "mountain view", which was actually better than the ocean view. It...

“Nice hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Arrived before checkin and was upgraded to Ocean view room, staff very friendly and helpful. Has a great view of the beach and is close walking distance to everything, only one block to the beach. The beds are so comfortable. Very good value for money

“friendly service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2012

I've been staying here for 5 weeks on business and the staff and facilities are great! Only a block to the beach. Ester in the executive lounge is one of the most friendly and cheerful people I've met she is truely an asset to the facility. Strongly recommend staying here.

“makes your life easy...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

The hotel is very nice and the rooms are great.The pool is nothing special, rather small actually, but then again the ocean is 5 minutes away.The restaurants are good and the beach is lovely.I've never been disappointed when we've stayed at this Hilton and the value is very good for a beach front property on Waikiki.
