    Free Shuttle

    Very nice shuttle ride but, prices were high, highest anywhere else. Store was really small and hard to move around in, seemed a weird location for tourist trap— high price mall in downtown Honolulu?

    Ala Moana Store--What were they thinking??????

    OK, nothing surprised us more on our recent trip to Honolulu than the relocation of Hilo Hattie's from their old location on the Nimitz Hwy (spacious and, with the attached chocolate factory, a real treat!) to a tiny stall buried inside the basement of the...More

    Hilo Hattie's - Awful

    No rating to describe this experience. Disgust is the only word to describe how I felt after going to this once fun store. Thinking my family would enjoy this colourful Hawaiian store, we took the "free" shuttle from Waikiki. After being dropped off on a...More

    Highest prices

    Highest prices I could find. Free shuttle not worth the wait...in my case, woman kept saying 20 minutes, but waited 45. Could have walked faster.

    IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME

    Everyone in Honolulu knew where the iconic Hilo Hattie's was located. It closed recently and relocated to the Ala Moana Mall. Now it's just another 'mall store' in a mall that's getting bigger and bigger by the day. Gone are the trolleys that would pick...More

    Not the same as the old location

    We always take guests we've brought with us to Hilo Hattie's, as it's kind of a cultural icon. However, the old iconic store on Nimitz Highwoay is now closed, and the store is now located at Ala Moana Mall. It took us over 30 minutes...More
