we didn't know that rooms with a kitchenette only have queen sized beds...which in reality seemed like a little bit larger than a double. When we asked about it, the front desk suggested that someone sleep on the pull out sofa. Umm...no. We figured it was only for one night, so we could make do with what we had.

The bed wasn't the most comfortable, but most importantly, the room was clean. It seemed like it had been remodeled, but it still had a bit of "old Waikiki" charm. I realize that some people might not like that...it's definitely not a luxurious hotel, but it's a practical room.

Our view overlooked the park across the street..nice, but it was quite noisy since Kalakaua is a busy street.

Since we didn't spend a lot of time in Waikiki, we probably should have stayed outside of Waikiki and thus save a few bucks in parking...but it is a convenient location. Only bad thing is their entrance. It's a bit hard to drive into/out of if there's a lot of people on the sidewalk plus the street traffic.

We stayed at the Outrigger Luana Waikiki in Central Honolulu in August 2011. Right from the reservation stage the staff were great. They were all very helpful giving information and getting things done.
The hotel location is perfect, very central for visiting all the attractions and places of interest but not too close to the noise and crowds. The beach is 5 mins walk through a good park, the shopping and restaurants are less than 5 mins walk and the bus stop right outside the hotel to go to other places.
The rooms were very spacious and clean with a good kitchenette with a fridge. It would have been better if they had a microwave and a kettle for us British who like our cup of tea. Also, they did not have the ordinary English Breakfast Tea bags which we like although the staff were good enough to try and get us a couple of them when we asked. We bought things from a supermarket nearby and had breakfast in the room which was convenient but would have liked to have a microwave and kettle.
The hotel had a small cafe on the premises which was ok for light snacks and drinks. But it was easy to walk to the main area to eat.
The swimming pool was small but nice and there was also a small gym. The main plus was the staff all of them so helpful when we needed anything. We stayed there for 7 nights and enjoyed it and would not hesitate to recommend the hotel to everyone and go there again as the room rates were very good value. We were looking at a lot of hotels when we were planning our trip all the way from the UK and found the hotels in Honolulu quite expensive compared to other areas in the USA. But the Outrigger Luana was very reasonable and good value for money for the quality and convenience.

Nice, clean, convenient and practical hotel for an Oahu vacation. The staff at this hotel is great. Everybody from check-in desk to valet parking attendants were awesome. Always friendly and helpful and always had a smile on. We had breakfast at their Protea Cafe and it was very good. Great service there too.
The rooms were comfortable and our 5th floor room facing the park was very quiet. Never heard any loud noises from outside or inside the bulding.
This hotel property is on Fort DeRussy Park. It's about a ten minute walk to Waikiki Beach and about four blocks from International Market Place.
Overall, I would definitely stay here again in the future.

good location, excellent room, nice people, no car required, would stay again and recomend
