“Nice hotel, great staff, street noise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 1, 2012 via mobile

In all, I agree with most reviewers that this a very nice hotel. It's only a few blocks from all of Waikiki's attractions. Breakfast was good, rooms also, only complaint was road noise as our room was on 2nd floor facing the main road. I would stay here again but on a high floor.

“Great room!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

We booked this hotel based on the positive feedback. This room and hotel did not disappoint!! We were here on our honeymoon last month and booked an Executive Suite. We were on level 10 and had a large balcony with a great view of the canal and the mountains. Sunset was beautiful.
The hotel provided free wifi and a good continental breakfast ranging from waffles, toast, cereals, sausages, scrambled eggs, pastries, fruit, oatmeal and a range of juice. The waffles were the best!!
The TV was of a very decent size and the mini kitchen had plates, cutlery, glasses, mugs etc... There was also a microwave and large bar fridge. The king bed and pillows in this room were the most comfiest on this trip!
The hotel was a good 10 minute walk to the main strip and the front desk provided beach towels. Thanks for providing us with a spacious, comfortable room. All staff here were helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended! Would stay here again!

“My husband and I really enjoyed our stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

This was our first trip to Hawaii and we chose Best Western Plus Coconut because of the good reviews on tripadvisor. I agonized about what hotel to choose but when we got there, we found that this hotel was great for us. We paid a little extra and got the mountain view and they put us on the top level facing the mountains. We loved sitting on the balcony when we were there and even though the canal is a man-made waterway, it is attractively set and we loved it. My husband is a runner and he enjoyed running on the canal just a few steps away from the hotel.

I will say that the room and bathroom was not what you would call spacious, but it was adequate, clean, and decorated nicely.

One of the very best parts was the refreshing cucumber and lemon water in the lobby. I can taste it now. It was so good after a walk from the beach. They also had lemonade and pineapple iced tea. Every staff member was helpful and cheerful. The hot breakfast was good too.

The location of the hotel was a little walk from the beach, but not bad at all. We are in our 60's so we aren't really young, but the walk was not a problem.

We would stay there again.

Room Tip: We loved our room on the top floor with the mountain view.

“Fantastic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

Loved this hotel, new modern rooms with bar fridge, good tv, nice bathroom, great staff and location good ten min walk to main strip but quiet at night as far away enough to be away from noise. Good breakfast that was free, lovely concierge and front desk staff very nice helped us get to Uni of Hawaii game! Would stay again. Small gym but good enough.

“Love this Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

Absolutely loved this place. My husband and I were staying at expensive hotels and were worried about staying here at first but it was brilliant. It was clean, people were friendly, breakfast was good. The free wifi in the room was excellent and also the free breakfast. I love the location, close to everything but not too close to the noise. Will definitely stay here again
