"Excellent! Close proximity to Ala Moana Mall and Magic Island. The staff is amazing!"

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"We kept having to ask for towels because they gave 4 and we had 5 in the room. Soaps were not filled. Doorknob in restroom didn't work do my son was locked in. Some slides didn't work. There was only 1 open at a time. Construction going on. Food in buffet was cold and not worth $50 at all. Staff was friendly."
