We were in Waikiki only for a few days and Hotel Renew was perfect for us.

The room was second to none with a fantastic view, balcony and comfortable king bed. The location was great for shopping etc, as well as getting to the beach. It was really helpful to have the chairs and mats etc provided.

By far the best part of the hotel was the staff, from our welcome greeting to our departure all of the staff were amazing (especially Adam, even if he did help my wife beat me at chess for the first time ever). They also make a mean cocktail.

We could not recommend this place highly enough and we will definitely be back next time we are in Waikiki.

Spent 10 days here in city-view rooms with my significant other - the hotel lives up to the rave reviews and the 'renew' in its name, with all qualities I prioritize: comfort, service, convenience, and great value for the area.

LOVED:
-Refreshing pineapple juice and towels upon check-in, they bring your bags up and explain everything to help you settle in.
-Responsive, friendly, relaxed service! (A slow drain bath was quickly resolved, plus Hurricane Sandy travel delays that forced us to stay 2 unexpected extra days was handled with reassuring calm by the terrific staff)
-Basic but nice/handy daily breakfast in the lobby (pastries, kona coffee, tea, great juice), with iced water and hot water available rest of the day (I bought teabags and had lovely teas all day)
-Modern, clean rooms in calming/muted tones
-Comfy, supportive beds (I have insomnia & slept soundly)
-Special touches: robes in the closet, clever/adjustable light switch dimmers, local events printed for you at check-in, beach towels and mats free to borrow, even a post-check out shower room you can book for 1 hour (to freshen up before departure)!
-Trolley stop outside door, ABC convenience store next door, bus stops nearby
-Only 2-3 minute/half-block walk to beach and walking distance to many Waikiki shops, restaurants - along with the zoo, aquarium and various Kapahulu Ave. restaurants (-->Try Kapahulu Ave's "Ono Hawaiian Foods" and "Side Street Inn" for yummy local fare - I lived 18 years in Hawaii and it's the real deal!)

VALUE:
We booked city-view rooms without an ocean view, but it was great value considering it was Waikiki ($175-185/night for a double - truly, anything $200 or less in Waikiki is a bargain) - besides, the real ocean is practically on your doorstep! Valet parking is $25/day, typical for Waikiki.

We both left feeling rejuvenated (even amidst a state-wide tsunami warning and unexpected travel delays from Hurricane Sandy - that says something about this hotel!), I would happily go back and recommend this place to those who like comfort, service, convenience and value for the area.

Stayed here for a week with my husband. We had booked the Ocean view room which was great. Compared to the other hotels in the area, I think Hotel Renew looks a lot more modern but is reasonably priced.

We really had the perfect stay:
- service was great
- the rooms were very modern and clean
- the complimentary breakfasts were awesome (always a great selection of fresh fruit)
- hired body boards for free
- only a very short stroll to the beach and shops

Can't wait to come back here on our next holiday!

This past week was our 3rd visit with the Hotel Renew. We were once again greeted with great service and had a very comfortable stay. We have recommended this boutique property to many friends and family members, and if you like a more initmate/modern/personalized service kind of place, the Hotel Renew is for you. Beds are incredibly comfortable too! We will be back again in the future.
