3-Star Hotels in Hawaii, United States

I chose this place for my solo trip because hotels were too expensive. The location is absolutely fantastic, right on a main street, so I felt perfectly safe walking alone at night. Even though it's a capsule hotel, they provide towels, thin slippers, and a toothbrush. The sheets were clean, and it felt private enough that I could actually sleep. Since there are Japanese staff, communication in Japanese was easy. Everyone staying there was traveling solo, so it was very quiet. I even wondered if it was the quietest place in all of Hawaii (lol). The shared lounge/living area was also quiet, and you could get free tea and water. My capsule was next to the women-only door, so I frequently heard the door opening and closing in the middle of the night and early morning, which was a bit bothersome. My only real complaint would be the shared showers. I stayed for two nights, and on the second day, someone hadn't rinsed out their hair after using the shower, and the sinks were also full of hair. I guess that's to be expected for this price point. Other than that, everything else was good. I think it's a great place if you can tolerate the showers.

We were on the 11th floor, and the water pressure was excellent! I'm not sure why some reviews mentioned low water pressure. I highly recommend this hotel (for those who aren't obsessed with ocean views), because our balcony faced the ocean. If an ocean view is a must-have for you, then you might want to look elsewhere. Out of the three Hilton hotels we stayed at in Hawaii this trip, this one offered the best value for money. The only downside was that they called at 9:30 AM to remind us that check-out was at 11 AM? And then around 10 AM, someone knocked on the door asking if we wanted housekeeping. It was a bit odd, but besides that, the hotel was perfect. Parking was $65 a night, which is more expensive than the Ritz-Carlton at Turtle Bay and the Disneyland Hotel (where it was $40-45) that I've stayed at. The beach is just one block away from the hotel. If I go back, this will be my top choice; the value for money is really good.

This is our go-to hotel in Waikiki. They offer luggage storage, and it's easy to call taxis or get food deliveries. The W line bus to the airport stops right outside the hotel. It's an older hotel but always clean, offering great value for money. It's a 10-minute walk to the Hilton and the beach. This year, a hotpot buffet opened right next door, which is pretty good! Also within walking distance to Ala Moana shopping center.

Booking in at reception was a friendly and very easy experience. The room was good but had more of a close up view of bushes than a City View. The food I had was good, however the bar was often very busy with just one person making the food and serving drinks. I tried to get served a few times but had to leave and returned a bit later for service. The location was very good for bus services and convenient for walking to local Waikiki beaches and along Kalakaua Ave.

Good hotel in a great location and friendly staff. Amenities fee is a lot more than advertised on trip.com. $30 a day for some towels and coffee

Beach only 2 minutes away from hotel. Restaurants and ABC stores all nearby. Safe places to walk even at night. Front desk customer service are super helpful and friendly. Cleaning stuffs always have a welcome smile and did a great job cleaning the room. Only thing that I dislike is the Resort fees charge. They should at least include a free breakfast daily.

The hotel's location is excellent, but the room was tiny. There were no slippers provided, which was quite uncomfortable for me walking around barefoot. The American breakfast was pretty terrible for a Chinese palate, and this hotel was no exception. Of course, as long as Americans like it, that's what matters, considering it's in the U.S. The hotel has its own parking lot, which costs $55 per night.

The location is great! I chose an oceanfront room and enjoyed meals overlooking Waikiki Beach, the sunset, and the sound of the moon and waves at night. I rented beach towels at the front desk and was able to quickly head to Waikiki Beach. There are many ABC stores and restaurants nearby, so you can do a lot of shopping within walking distance. The room is small. The shower is quite small and the shower head is fixed at the top, so it's quite difficult to wash your whole body.

The hotel's location is excellent, making it super convenient for getting around, shopping, and dining. What was really frustrating is that I booked through an agent, and the amount I was told to pay at check-in was significantly less than what the hotel actually charged. When I contacted Trip.com, they said the agent told them the final payment should be based on what the hotel charges, and that I should negotiate with the hotel directly. I absolutely cannot accept this kind of buck-passing, or even fraudulent, behavior from an agent. Trip.com eventually compensated me for my loss, so they were quite proactive in resolving the issue. I strongly advise everyone to avoid booking through agents; they need to be held accountable for their actions!

I booked a single dormitory. There are foreigners there. The location is very good. The quality of sleep depends on whether there are snorers in your dormitory. Foreigners have a strong perfume smell. If you mind, don't book it. The facilities are relatively complete. You can cook by yourself. There is a public refrigerator and storage cabinets.
