Hotels with Breakfast in Honolulu

Pros: The room's balcony experience was great; the balcony had UV-protective and heat-insulating film. The door lock felt secure. The overall hotel environment and cleanliness were acceptable. The front desk service was friendly, and the ambassador proactively helped with luggage and was very welcoming. Serious Issues (Women guests, please be extremely cautious about privacy and safety): There are major lapses in hotel management, with complete disregard for guest privacy. There is no landline in the hotel room, and the front desk did not call to notify me before arranging for a male ambassador to vigorously knock on my door and then use a card to open it. I was sleeping at the time and was very startled. Less than five minutes later, housekeeping staff again used a card to open the door directly. Having unauthorized entry into my room twice in a row was an extremely poor experience. Used beach towels also had to be brought back to the room as there was no collection point downstairs, which was very inconvenient. The pool was small (not a major issue), and the water quality was very mediocre, making me not want to swim. While the hardware and service attitude were acceptable, there are clear loopholes in room safety management, posing a high risk for guests.

Great location, just a few minutes from Waikiki Beach. We booked an ocean view room, which was beautiful, and the view wasn't obstructed by the parking lot. The balcony was lovely, very relaxing to sit there, eat, and enjoy the ocean view. The best part was that even though I'm not a member, they gave me my room at 12 PM, which was incredibly thoughtful. The Asian cleaning lady was exceptionally kind and enthusiastic every time she saw us. We didn't leave a big tip, but she still thanked us repeatedly and even offered us coffee. Beach towels can be picked up and returned by scanning your room card. Breakfast is served in the restaurant on the first floor, opening at 6 AM.

Hands down, this hotel is all about location, convenience, and comfort. If you want to be right in the middle of all the Waikīkī buzz, this is it. You’re just minutes from Waikīkī Beach and within easy walking distance to International Market Place, Royal Hawaiian Center, countless restaurants, cafés, and convenience stores. Everything is so accessible that you can explore easily on foot. The rooms feel fresh and newly renovated, with a modern island-chic style. Clean, bright, and comfortable — not ultra-luxury, but definitely more than sufficient for a relaxing stay. Perfect if you want the essentials done well without paying for full resort-style extras. You’re surrounded by food options — poke, shave ice, smoothie spots, breakfast cafés, and nicer dinner restaurants. Convenience stores are just steps away, making it easy to grab essentials without needing transport. If you value prime location, walkability, renovated rooms, an outdoor pool, a gym, and solid value over ultra-luxe amenities, this hotel is a great choice.

I booked this hotel for the ocean front view as a treat for my 50th Birthday. The welcome I received on arrival at 11pm after flying for 18hrs on 2 flights from the UK was underwhelming. The lady on the desk was polite, but no interaction of 'how was your flight' 'where are you visiting from' 'you're celebrating your birthday with us etc...' I had a room in the beach tower on the 17th floor and the view was fabulous as expected, however for the proce I paid the room itself is very basic and not what I would call 5 star. The bathroom is was tiny and the only space to move is the width of the door and the carpets on way in the room are tired. The hotel lobby and oceanarium are more in keeping with a 5star luxury hotel and well looked after. I asked on 3 occasions about keeping my room on until 6/7pm.due to a late flight out on day of check out hiwever was continually told to ask the day before check out where despite offering to pay was told it was not possible. They did kindly agree for me to keep the room until 12 and could store my luggage. I came back and few hours later to change for my flight and wait in the lobby and was unable to use the toilet facilities in the lobby as didnt have a guest key card and they coukdnt provide me one to use.... very poor. Pros I used the lei making class and the gentleman James was lovely, guys on concierge and Bell desk were great. Very comfy bed, great to have an iron/board, hairdryer, kettle and coffee machine in room. Great location at a quieter end of Kalakaua Ave, right opp the beach and an ABC shop linked opp the lift of the beach tower. Cons Reception is lacking in 5 star service. Personally I wouldn't stay here again. Which is a shame as I had high hopes prior to arrival.

Outstanding service from the moment we arrived at the front entrance. Friendly, knowledgeable staff were able to answer all of our questions and accommodate all our requests. Room was nicely appointed and generously sized with ample room in the walk-in closet for our 8 full-sized checked bags (we stopped through HI in the middle of a move 🙂). Had two double beds and a hid-a-bed which was perfect for our family of four. The small refrigerator in the room was just the right size for water bottles and some snack/breakfast food we picked up at the Target just across the street. Appreciated being able to check out fresh beach towels pool-side each day. That saved a lot of suitcase space. The balcony was just large enough for a small table and two chairs to catch a great view of the ocean. The hotel is located between prime beachfront on the one side and the International Marketplace on the other, everything you need is within easy walking distance. The kids enjoyed the beginner surf lessons available beachside through Faith Surf Academy, and being able to rent a board to continue surfing over subsequent days. Waves were perfect for beginners and despite there being a fair number of other visitors, there was plenty of room to swim, play, and enjoy the water, though space on the beach itself was a bit tight at times. The one shortcoming we experienced was there not being any self-service laundry on-site. It seems there used to be, but it's unavailable with the current renovation project underway, and I'm unsure whether they intend for it to be part of the updated plan or not. Paid laundry service is available, but we opted to walk down the road to a laundromat. All in all, the whole family enjoyed our time at Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort and would recommend it.

I stayed three nights in a partial ocean view room and four nights in an ocean view room. If the price difference isn't significant, definitely opt for the ocean view room – the experience is so much better (the partial ocean view room barely has any ocean view to speak of). The room itself was decent, and the cleanliness was okay, but the towels had a strange smell. The hotel's location is super convenient. The second floor connects directly to the Ala Moana shopping center, and there's a Don Quijote next door, making it very easy to shop and eat. It's about a 10-minute taxi ride to Waikiki, or a 30-minute walk. Personally, I prefer the nearby Ala Moana Beach, it's very chill. Car rental parking is also convenient. Parking is charged from 1 PM, costing $41 for 24 hours. [Pictures 1 & 2 show the view from Ocean View Room 1915; Picture 3 shows the view from Partial Ocean View Room 1104]

We arrived late and it had been raining hard all night...when we entered the lady at the front desk had a huge smile and was so nice & helpful. When we went to the breakfast in the morning it was amazing. Fresh fruits, different milk/creamers for my coffee and the hot eggs and sausage were delicious! I chose this hotel because of the shuttle & breakfast but were pleasantly surprised with the kindness & the space. When we opened the curtains I was shocked to see that we were next to the freeway. We couldn't hear any cars. All around, great place!

I really don't recommend choosing the Rainbow Sea View Room. It's not a sea view at all; what you see is a tiny lagoon, or to put it bluntly, a small puddle. If you truly want to see the ocean, you absolutely must choose a Rainbow Oceanfront Room or a high-floor Oceanfront Room, otherwise, you'll likely be very disappointed. Check-in was incredibly crowded. I waited for about 30 minutes to an hour, and the lobby was constantly packed. The elevators were the same; many times, you had to wait in line. If you prefer a quieter hotel, I don't think this one is suitable. The room assignment also left me very dissatisfied. The Asian front desk staff assigned me a low-floor corner room with virtually no view. No ocean, no fireworks – just the building across the way and that little puddle outside the window. It was completely different from what I imagined when booking. Also, early check-in at this hotel almost always costs extra. It's not one of those hotels that will accommodate an early check-in if a room is available. I've stayed at other hotels where they usually try to arrange it if there's a vacant room, but here, if you want to get in early, you have to pay extra. If you prioritize views, quietness, and the overall check-in experience, I personally don't recommend this hotel.

Except for the location near the airport I wouldn't recommend this hôtel. It's dirty and noisy. And when the breakfast is included in the price of room, you get coupon for the restaurant. The choice of food for breakfast is very small. And it's either coffee (a very very bad one) or water (a very very small bottle). And then you are allowed to eat in the restaurant and you have to take away and eat in your room as there is no other places to eat. This breakfast is a joke :(

Overall, I'm very satisfied! The room was spacious and bright, the facilities were new, and the hygiene was excellent. The view was amazing! Ala Moana Center is just a 5-minute walk away, offering plenty of shopping and dining options. A stroll along the beach at the waterfront park was also very pleasant. All the staff were nice, until check-out day when a rather overweight female employee provided terrible service. During peak hours, there was only one staff member, so I had to queue. When I saw her arrive, I politely asked if there was a quick check-out option. She responded very impatiently with, ”Just wait,” without a single polite word and maintained a scowl throughout! She's the reason why I'm deducting points for service.
