This hotel has a nice location, one block from the beach and only 50 meters from Resortquest at the south end of Waikiki.
It's a small boutique hotel with a very nice reception. The people working there are extremely service minded. We felt welcome the second we entered the hotel.
The hotel serves complimentary continental breakfass. The corridors leading to the hotel are quite sterile and they had no windows. The rooms are very hight tech with great AC, projector TV and PC, two great beds with nice duvet. Bathroom was wonderful. A very nice hotel room. I was missing the the lanai, but other than that it's great. Do bear in mind that this is not a resort like Hilton Hawaiian Village. The hotel don't have garden, pool etc, but apart from that it's a bargain. New clean rooms.Would recommend this to those who don't want to stay in a resort. You don't have to do live in a resort on Waikiki. It's so close to the beach and there is som much to do i Waikiki so get out of the hotel and experience HAwaii.

Expected far more, based on prior reviews, but the hotel does not live up to TripAdvisor reviews or their own hype. This is not a #1 hotel. While the decor is interesting, the room was not practical for a couple staying for 5 days. The bathroom is so dark I never saw my face during the entire stay. There is inadequate storage space in the bathroom - just a few narrow shelves, open on either side, so your toiletries can easily fall into the commode. There is a small closet, mostly occupied by a set of shelves, and a safe which is not secured to anything. There is loose wiring under the sink. While it is a nice idea to have a computer in every room, the internet connection is so slow as to be nonfunctional. There is a nice workspace area, and the bed is fabulous. The breakfast area is small, and you will sit cheek to jowl with other diners. While the hotel advertises beverage service and snacks throughout the day, we saw no evidence of that. The front desk could not print out anything for me, and were not forthcoming with information or assistance. I really expect far more service from a hotel rated #1, and I would not stay here again.

If a quiet, subdued hotel experience is more your style, Hotel Renew is your choice. In comparison to its company and to the brashness of Waikiki generally, Hotel Renew is a welcome oasis. Rooms are elegantly decorated. Hotel is well situated. The staff is oriented to providing excellent guest services; no request was too great. The continental breakfast was carb-heavy and could have had some fruit (they did have pineapple juice, however), but I appreciate their gesture of providing a complimentary breakfast for guests at all. On Thursday nights, the manager hosted an intimate open bar with pupus. These gestures, plus many other little touches (fresh flowers in room, chocolates on pillows, Leonore's personalized service) sets Hotel Renew apart from other hotels, particularly the large chains.

We were so relieved with our choice to stay at Hotel Renew.

Hotel Renew is a wonderful place to stay. We stayed there in late May and the location is excellent in Waikiki.

The newly refurbished rooms are excellent and they are quite spacious. The views from up high (9th floor) are great of the ocean but no balcony unfortunately.

The staff are very friendly and can't do enough to help you. In fact it is the best service at a hotel I have ever received anywhere around the world.

The now famous Lenor is just lovely and after a mishap with our flights she even drove us to the airport. She is so friendly and welcoming and they even had welcome drinks for guests on the Thursday night. Many thanks Lenor.

You cannot go wrong with the Hotel Renew.
