"Great hotel in a great location. "

"Perfect home base for my first Waikiki experience. I definitely recommend the ocean view."

"This property was a fantastic stay for our first time in Oahu. The staff was terrific, especially the check-in guy and the valet staff. They were truly amazing. I truly wish I could remember their names because they deserve a huge shout-out. Thank you for an amazing experience. "

"Our room was clean. The staff were friendly and courteous. "

"The Queen Kapiolani was a wonderful place to stay, with fun and ever-helpful staff, especially front desk and housekeeping. Terrific unobstructed views of Diamond Head across the park, and of the ocean a block away. We loved our little balcony and used it often. Lobby coffee shop is on point; the Deck restaurant/bar has the view but we found it otherwise unremarkable. There can be an unexpected amount of urban noise from time to time. Parking is expensive but Uber/Lyft was easy to use here. Neighboring hotel has a car rental desk for a longer day drive. All in all, good value, comfy room, nice shower with eco-friendly amenities, awesome location and terrific ambience."

"This was our second time staying at the Waikiki Hotel Resort. We love the open-air lobby and the location is absolutely fantastic. The Hotel is merely a block from the beach and is great if you want to have 1/4 or 1/2 days at the beach. There is also a car rental shop conveniently located in the lobby so it was very easy for us to rent a car for a day to circle around the island. The breakfast buffet has vastly improved from when we stayed here in late 2024. The selection now includes fresh fruit, garden salad, soup, scrambled eggs, rotating selection of carbs (rice, fried rice, hash browns, potatoes), rotating selection of breakfast protein (different sausages, ham), pastries, bread, soup, oatmeal and beverages. We've had Park at the breakfast buffet serve us for two years in a row, and he is always a delight! The rooms are quite spacious but, as others have mentioned, are dated and could use an update. We do like the old-school Hawaiian vibe, however. as it's somewhat nostalgic for us. Overall, I think it's a good place to stay particularly if you value being able to have quick and easy breakfast on site. Some of their hotel staff could display more "aloha" in their presentation, but there was nothing wrong or bad with the service that we received. The Hotel also added a game room with arcade games, a pool table, foosball, etc. which was popular with the kids. On-site laundry was also good and easy to access. "
