Just a long block from the beach and all the shops. Pricey but was the only place we could get on short noice.
They have a restaurant which we ate at several times. But went across street for special dining.
Over all the rooms were nice and looked like updated. The staff were all helpful. Would stay again.

This is NOT the Hilton Hawaiian Village which has its own private beach, this is the Hilton Waikiki Beach which is on Kuhio Street (dealers and prosties galore) and is six blocks from the ocean......check out the google map location. That being said, it's a nice, clean hotel with all the amenities. IT IS NOT A RESORT. It is just a hotel. You want quiet aloha atmosphere, stay at the Hawaiian Village. You want a nice hotel in the honky tonk area of Waikiki, stay at the Hilton Waikiki Beach. One thing that bugs me is their website saying they are a few steps from the ocean. That is a lie! Again look at the map.

We stayed at Hilton Waikiki Beach from 17 to 28 January 2013. We had two rooms. My husband and I had an ocean front room and our two daughters had a mountain view room. As requested, they were both on the same floor. In this case, we were on 24th floor. The lobby is very spacious so various groups are able to sit together( yet apart from others) quite easily. Our rooms were very nice and spotlessly clean. Plenty of towels of all sizes and high quality toiletries. From our balcony we had a lovely ocean view. Yes, there is one building between the hotel and the beach but it did not detract from the view. The balcony accommodated two chairs and a small table and whilst not enormous, was fine for a cup of coffee and a relax. Having multiple lifts minimised wait times to go up to or down from our rooms. There are trolley and bus stops right outside the hotel. A one block walk will take you to the waterfront strip and the hotel is situated towards one end of the strip. It is a longish walk to the other end, near the Hilton Hawaiian Village, but with plenty to see it does not seem arduous. It is a much shorter walk to the vicinity of the Outrigger and the International Market Place and lots of eating places. We would stay at the Hilton Waikiki Beach again without hesitation.

Asked airport taxi to take us to ‘Hilton Waikiki Beach’ , and he charged us $33 (£20.62). Went to check in and were told we were at the wrong hotel – taxi driver had taken us to Hilton Hawaiian Village! (NB: Be sue to say Kuhio Avenue!) - They found us another taxi and gave him a taxi voucher to take us to the correct Hilton in Kuhio Avenue. He dropped us round the corner at the roadside next to the car ramp, and said someone would come to help us with our bags, but no sign of anyone! No-one came to help us up the main entrance steps with our bags, either! Bad start!

Left bags, after checking in at 10am, as room would not be ready until 12.

Room 918 ‘de-luxe, king bed, ocean view’, after collecting our own bags from concierge. (No-one offered to help, although having managed on our own that far, we didn’t feel inclined to tip someone for taking them up in the elevator anyway!)
Large carpeted room. King-size bed with 2 bedside table/shelves. Chaise longue. Desk and chair. Unit w/ 4 drawers, fridge, safe and coffee-maker, under a large flatscreen, on wall opposite the bed. Suitcase stand. Tall mirror and pretty picture of yellow plumerias. Shower room : double-length shower stall, plenty shelves, another pretty flower picture, double wardrobe w/ 10 hangers (towels and toiletries replaced daily). Wrap-around balcony (as we were at the end of the corridor), w/ 2 chairs and small table, looking out onto St Augustine Church, and the ocean beyond.

- Excellent breakfast and dinner in ‘mac 24/7’, informal restaurant - pleasant staff.
- free unlimited wifi in lobby
- Hotel is located a block in from the ocean, but an empty lot in front of the hotel (used as a car park) allows ocean views. It is quieter than being on the main drag!.
- There is an ABC convenience store on the diagonal corner.
- Plenty restaurants nearby on the oceanfront Kalakaua Avenue.
- Street performers, fortune teller and artists at night on the strip.
- Free hula show 4 nights a week at 6.30pm, on nearby Hula Mound.

(We stayed here several years ago, when it was a Radisson and it is still just as good.)
