Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel. Friendly staff"

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

8/10 Good

"I had a positive experience staying at this hotel. For a customer who prioritizes value I think this is a great place to stay. I feel like I got my money's worth. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the staff was helpful and friendly. The free breakfast was the best I've ever seen. The amenities were nice including the games on the patio and the gym. With that said there is a reason this is a more affordable place to stay. The room is on the small side, as the bed was less than 2 feet from the wall. The pool is also small. My only real complaint was how loud the air conditioning unit was. I wound up using ear plugs. With that said I would definitely stay here again. If you are looking for an affordable place to stay and you're going to spend most of your time enjoying Hawaii outside of your hotel room this is a option that is worth considering."
