The most amazing place tucked away in a private green garden in Waikiki.

Everything- this is one of the top places I have ever stayed. I will be returning to Hawaii in the near future and I will be staying here every time.

Wish the pool and hot tub stayed open past 6 pm

Relaxing happy stay on the beach at Waikiki and I would not stay anywhere else.

Gorgeous iconic hotel in the perfect location.

Being an older hotel I did find noise issues outside my room but everything else made up for it.

Disappointing stay at Waikiki’s Pink Palace. Five stars only for the view.

The Royal Hawaiian Resort is located right at Waikiki Beach and the view from the tower room was beautiful. The gardens are also very nice and the beach right in front of the hotel is clean and also beautiful. After staying there 13 years ago, I wanted to come back and relive the great memories I had of this place…

The hotel feels and looks old. Unfortunately this stay was a disappointment on many levels and just not worth the price. You pay the location and the view. These are the 5 star ratings I would give the hotel. Besides this, the room was not fully clean, we had to get rid of spider webs before unpacking. The mattress is in desperate need of replacement and there was an awful odor coming out of the toilet every time it was flushed. The room felt more like being in a motel than in a 5 star resort. For this kind of money, I expect more. The balcony from which we wanted to enjoy the view was full of bird poop and just dirty with old furniture. Besides paying resort fees, you still have to pay for beach chairs and umbrellas (~$100 for one set for a day close to the water). No one once asked us if we enjoyed our stay when checking-out. Didn’t make us feel very welcome or that the hotel really cares about their guests. I’ve read a lot of comments before booking the hotel and thought I want to experience it for myself. Now I can say that the reviews were mostly right when talking about the resort showing its age and that the money guests pay is not invested in improving the hotel.

Eine Oase mit Charme eines entspannten Grand Hotels in Waikiki

Die Atmosphäre sowie die Großzügigkeit (uns wurden 2 von 5 Nächten wegen Flugannullierung erstattet obwohl dies formell nicht hätte sein müssen).

Die allgemeine Geräuschkulisse, Hellhörigkeit der Zimmer und winzige Badezimmer waren nicht so schön.

Fabulosa

El hotel es muy bonito, las habitaciones amplias y los jardines maravillosos. La ubicación es excepcional en medio de todo. Disfrute cada momento que estuvimos ahí. El personal es muy amable.

Encontrar reposeras en la piscina es casi imposible dado que es muy pequeña. El sistema de reservas de reposeras en la playa debiese ser online. El personal a cargo responde que hay que reservarlas presencialmente a las 7 am

Excepcional

La ubicación es excelente, el hotel maravilloso y las piezas muy cómodas y espaciosas. El personal muy amable, fue una experiencia muy grata alojar ahí.

El área de piscina es muy pequeña y casi imposible encontrar reposeras. En la playa las arriendan, no son baratas y es complejo el sistema. Esperan que se vaya personalmente a las 7 de la mañana a reservarlas

Enttäuschend, wenn man das Hotel von früher kennt

Die Lage und das Aussehen des Hotels, in dem ich über die Jahre bislang etwa 10 Mal gewohnt habe, sind ansprechend und immer wieder schön anzusehen - außen hui - aber leider hat man, wenn man als Gast dort absteigt, den Eindruck, dass die besten Zeiten des Hotels vorbei sind.

Leider vieles: Zwar ist das Personal einzeln angesprochen hilfsbereit, aber an diversen Stellen ist es zahlenmäßig nicht ausreichend. Die Wartezeiten an der Rezeption geben bereits bei fehlendem Andrang Anlass zu Verdruß. Die Gäste-Hotline ruft man auch oft vergeblich an. Room Service gibt es nicht (!). Die Zimmer-Türen im Tower sind schlecht abisoliert / schliessen schlecht, sodaß einen nachts ein kontinuierliches Windpfeifen wachhält (wohlgemerkt: ich kenne die Räumlichkeiten und das war früher nicht so!). Die Barkeeper an der Strandbar sind von sehr wechselhafter Qualität - von komplett unaufmerksam und faul bis hin zu sehr engagiert - wenn man Pech hat, wird man lange ignoriert, nichts saubergemacht und die Bestellungen, insbesondere abends, eher widerwillig aufgenommen. So etwas geht überhaupt nicht. Die Zimmer sind für ein "Luxushotel" eher durchschnittlich und die Qualitätskontrolle vor Neuvermietung ist auch nicht die beste (Zimmerübernahme bei verschlossenem Zimmersafe vom Vormieter und nicht übersehbar heruntergerissenem Lampenschirm). Insgesamt stimmt bei fast 800 Euro pro Nacht das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis m.E. nicht mehr - schade, denn ich bin dort eigentlich immer gerne abgestiegen. Tröstlich: im nahen Umkreis gibt es mehrere andere First Class Hotels.

Beautiful historic hotel right on the beach.

Everyone that worked there was absolutely amazing. I had wonderful interactions with all of the employees… top notch.

The fitness facility is way too small, especially the free weights area. It was always very crowded and sometimes no room to work out. The fitness center is important to me.

Beautiful landmark and location, the lobby was more or less maintained, the guest rooms were not. The sink had cracks in the finish, the furnishings are old and tired. The mattress was horrific. The boiler was unable to keep up with the demand for hot water at peak times. I have always loved this property, but JW Marriott would be ashamed that these rooms are part of the Luxury Collection in his namesake portfolio.

See above, Also there was a previous guests used hard candy and other detritus under the bedside table. I dropped medication on the floor and found it and other garbage there. That was nasty.

Decepcionante

Gran edificio y ubicación

Muy mala relación precio, te cobran por todo, los precios de los restaurantes son fácil 3 veces lo que pagarías dos pasos afuera, el personal te atiende lento. Lo peor fue que te cobran por rentar los camastros con sombrilla en la playa! 100 dólares o 30 la hora! Se nos hizo un robo

Exceeded my expectations. Would definitely book again.

From the moment I stepped out of the taxi, I felt I was treated like a VIP customer. Hotel staff extremely friendly and helpful. Loved the wee extras given as a guest - coupon for pastries from the mini-cafe, 1 free refill for ice-tea from the same kiosk, great breakfast, very clean room with a wonderful view from the balcony, heated toilet seat! I could go on. Would definitely book again.

Can't think of anything. A bit expensive but still worth the price I paid so absolutely no complaints.

Amazing Hotel in the best location but was let down by the level of the rooms.

The historical feeling in the lobby, the gardens and the best location. This hotels is definitely a special place when staying in Waikiki.

The rooms are very tired and need renovation. The smell in the rooms is a bit off and the cleanliness is lacking. There were marks on the walls and ceilings that looked like they could be easily cleaned off. Also some stains on the furniture.

A must-do for one night in Waikiki but get ready to pay high costs for extras!

Legendary property, happening location, nice in-house shopping, beautiful holiday decor, and can't forget the Mai Tais. We enjoyed the live music by the sand. Helpful concierge, too.

The self-parking is a bit of a hassle (and steeply priced), and the resort itself is in sort of an awkward spot, wedged between the massive towers in Waikiki. The pool is nothing special at all and quite small. The price to sit in beach chairs is outrageous.

Disappointed in compassion of hotel.

Location was wonderful.

the fact that when I requested to extend my stay, the price went up over $300 per night. I needed to extend because I could not get to Maui which was my next destination. Felt like I was being gouged on price due to catastrophe in Maui.

A Hawaiian classic. Where every prospect pleases, and only Marriott payment policies are vile.

Everything in the hotel was fantastic. I enjoyed the smell and the beauty of trees around the hotel. The hotel provides amazing services such as yoga, meditation, paddling... My partner and I took meditation outside of the hotel, which was fantastic. The most enjoyable part for me was its pink pancake. We had it every morning and bought ready-made pancake flours for ourselves and our friend who gave us a Hawaii trip for our honeymoon with a beautiful heart. The hotel is located in the center of the Waikiki area. I had great access to anywhere for food, shopping, and medical care.

When our friend tried to pay for our stay online, the Marriott policies made it impossible and the hotel booking staff was cold and unfriendly petty bureaucrats. The other places we stayed, like the Grand Hyatt in Kauai had no such problem.
