I use trip advisor for all of my hotel bookings and decided on Hotel Renew based on the positive reviews. I was not let down and was extremely happy with this Hotel. It is in an excellent location that is close to The Zoo and is a less frantic than the heart of Waikiki. It is only a 10-15 minute walk to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel as an example. The Hotel is clean and the staff are friendly. Hotel Renew is a half block to the beach and is closer to the beach than a lot of hotels nearby. The hotel serves a basic breakfast of coffee, tea, pineapple juice and pastries which is perfect to get you started. The hotel is almost next door to an ABC Store where you can buy all your basics. Next to this hotel are the bigger hotels Aston Waikiki and Waikiki Beach Marriott. There are some good restaurants with entertainment and a nice vibe such as Tiki's bar and grill at the Aston Waikiki and Lulu's Waikiki which is in the same block. The food at the Wolfgang puck express below the the Aston was not good and I would avoid it if you can. All in all Hotel Renew was perfect as it was close to everything, the staff were friendly and they would provide you with beach towels and mats for your day on the Beach. I would definitely return to the Hotel Renew.

WOW! I loved everything about this hotel. From the complimentary pineapple juice upon arrival and the relaxing/modern rooms, I couldn't have asked for more. We stayed in room 805(corner room) and I prefer them over any other room. We didn't have an ocean view, but they city-view kind was just as nice. We were in Hawaii and it was enough. The beds were beyond comfortable and I really enjoyed them. If I ever come back to Hawaii I will return to hotel renew. There is no doubt in my mind :) loved you guys so much!!!! So friendly!!!!

We stayed here on the second part of our vacation. We've been to Waikiki and stayed in larger hotels. Renew was great because it did what was simple and dud it very well. There is no catering on site except a continental style breakfast but with so many restaurants in Waikiki it's not a worry .

The staff really made our vacation great and efficiently dealt with any request we had. Only negative j can think if was the shower in our room wasn't too strong but that is a minor issue.

We missed the shuttle for one of our trips and when the company called out hotel looking for us the staff knew exactly show we were and were able to say we had headed out for trip with towels etched. The matter was quickly sorted and our shuttle came back to the pick up point. Great service,

We'd have no hesitation recommending this wee gem or staying their again.

We should also mention the girl in the bar at Renew who was great. Her Belfast accent impression was the best we've come across. Don't know her name but she was a big Sons of Anarchy fan!

We spent part of our honeymoon at hotel Renew and we were really happy with the location as wellas the service and valet parking. close to the beach, located centrally in Honolulu, i would definitely come back here again. clean rooms, friendly helpful staff.
