How much do I love this hotel? Let me count the ways! It's lovely. A breath of fresh air when compared with the mega resorts nearby. The staff are warm and welcoming in a way only possible for a smaller hotel. The ambience is comfortable. The colors pleasing. The room, though not overly large, is roomy enough, so efficiently laid out, so pretty, and impeccably clean. And such a comfortable bed! Less than a block away from the quieter side of Waikiki beach, but not overly quiet. A nice continental breakfast. And a really nice bar that opens in the evenings with delightful bar staff and excellent drinks. I could go on!! No pool, but who needs a pool here. Kudos to owner and staff!!

my fiancé booked our room the about an hour before we arrived at the hotel. every staff member we encountered was very friendly and helpful - from valet to front desk to maintenance workers and everyone in between.

the rooms were very nice, felt very clean and it felt like we were the first people who have stayed in the room we were in. everything in the room felt like it was brand new. needles to say, we enjoyed staying in the room. but during the night we got thirsty and decided to grab a couple of drinks from the bar in the lobby. Kasi, who was our bartender was very attentive and personable to us and the other patrons who were enjoying some drinks while they watched the game.

i would definitely stay at hotel renew again and would recommend it to others.

Another enjoyable visit to the Hotel Renew- very comfortable beds and loan of towels, beach chairs etc for our beach time. Stayed in a room with view of beach this time- wonderful sunsets!
When we checked into our room there was welcome back note with a plate of crackers, salami and cheese -delicious with cold beers.

My wife and I recently stayed a night at the Hotel Renew and we could not have enjoyed it more. It was our second time in Waikiki within about an eight day period, and we wanted to stay at a smaller hotel having spent two nights on the front end of our trip at the Moana Surfrider hotel. I am so glad we did this; the boutique hotel experience was a nice contrast to larger hotel experience that we had enjoyed.

The staff was amazing at every turn. From check where they had delicious fresh drinks and wet towels for us upon arrival, to the help booking a tour we received, to the delicious drinks at happy hour, I can’t say enough good things about this hotel.

The rooms aren't huge, they are cozy but they are very well designed to utilize the space. The decorations were nice and the hotel lobby was great. We arrived early and the hotel let us check in and upgraded us from 2 double beds to a king size bed which was a welcome surprise.

We stayed at the hotel on the last day of our trip to Hawaii and our flight home wasn't until late in the evening on our checkout day. They were willing to give us a late checkout but suggested we may benefit more from use of the hotels courtesy room. This is a regular room that guests can “reserve” for an hour the day before after they have checked out, so that they can shower and change. I was delighted when the front desk person told me about this and willing to pay for the service, then they informed me this was a courtesy and there is no charge for the room. What a great amenity, this allowed us to do a tour that morning, go to the beach and swim and not have to fly home covered in sand. Even the bell hops seemed genuinely appreciative when we tipped them for storing our bags for us, and arranging transportation to the airport.

The Hotel Renew isn't the biggest hotel, it doesn't necessarily have the best views (though we had a very nice view from our room), nor from the outside will it knock your socks off, but when you stay here you will have a great stay. I know that if I am back in Waikiki I would definitely like to stay here again.
