Hotels Near Iolani Palace in Honolulu

The hotel facilities are very new. The location is not near Waikiki Beach. It is about 3km away from the beach. If you want to go to the beach, you need to take a taxi or bus. There is a bus stop very close to the hotel. The front desk service is very good and enthusiastic.

This hotel I stayed in this time was newly built in 2024 and there would be no cockroaches, so I checked in. After staying there, I think it has both good and bad points. Advantages: The service is very enthusiastic; The swimming pool is on the 8th floor, a very clean place; There is a large water dispenser on the next floor, you can pour water when you leave the room, you don’t have to buy water yourself, nor do you have to pour water in the lobby and carry it up, which is very convenient; The hotel has a shuttle bus to Waikiki Beach every hour. The place where you get off is P2, which is a little distance from the beach. There is a return bus about every half hour, which is very convenient. The hotel's elevator is very fast. First, press the floor you want to go to at the door, and then the elevator will automatically allocate it. Basically, one floor per second, there is no pain of high-rise elevators at all, which is very good; Opposite is Ala Moana, Walmart, and buses. Let's talk about the disadvantages: I don't know about other rooms. The window of the room we booked is a large movable window that can be moved to the top of the room. Once the door is opened, it is a half-person-high glass, and then there is no protection, and there is no balcony. See p1, that is to say, more than 20 floors... If you open the window directly, a strong wind will fly out of the window, which I think is quite dangerous. So later we didn't open the window, but opened a crack for ventilation; Although the room was newly built in 24 years, the facilities in the room are already a bit broken. The bathtub drains slowly, the clothesline can't be retracted, and the remote control of the smart toilet is also broken... In general, I think this hotel is not worth five stars, at most it is a four-star, which is ok to stay in.

There were three nights in total. Since my schedule was uncertain at the beginning, I divided it into three bookings. For the first time, I couldn't combine orders and needed to update my check-in at the front desk every day. This was acceptable. But the next day I was told that the room I was staying in was booked out, and I needed to check out, then check in again at night and change rooms. This was unacceptable to me, and the negotiation ended with only a small amount of compensation from Ctrip. And when I checked in again, I couldn't find my luggage, which was very frustrating. I was also shocked that he was so unapologetic about not having a room to spare. This is a long-term rental area, and Target, Walmart, and luxury stores are very convenient. However, there are mostly Koreans here, and the Korean-faced lady at the front desk is obviously discriminatory and indifferent. I don’t know how to evaluate it. The hotel is very new and modern, but the service has not kept up with it. The previous guest's domestic garbage under the sink was not disposed of. The long swimming pool and small shed need to be booked at the spa. The dining by the pool is very delicious, plentiful and cost-effective. Then it should be noted that only the corner room in the entire hotel has a full sea view, so it makes no sense for me to book a sea view room. The area is also on the small side. The bed was very soft, but I didn't feel any backache at all.

I like the Pagoda Hotel. Service staff are friendly, good & affordable breakfast...Good location near the neighborhood and shopping areas

A very well located hotel. Adjoining the shopping center where you will find all the necessary amenities (huge shopping center). The hotel is close to many bus lines and only 20 minutes from Waikiki Beach. A quieter and equally beautiful beach is 6 minutes away from the market. The hotel has a laundry room, gym, swimming pool. The staff is very pleasant. There are a few shops and a Starbucks in the hotel on the ground floor.

Stayed here for the second time. It was as good as before✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧ The hotel is on one side of Waikiki Beach, and you can walk to Waikiki Beach. On the other side is Ala Monma Shopping Center, which is just across the bridge. Next to the hotel is the Hertz car rental pick-up point, which is very convenient. Especially suitable for people who don't want to sleep lightly and don't want to be noisy by the Waikiki Beach. I booked a sea view room. Opposite is the pier where various boats are docked⛵️. The view is very good. You can see surfers in the distance in the morning🏄 The hotel has a gym, but not many people. There is a swimming pool and an infinity pool/hot pool on the 5th floor, and there are singers singing. The vibe is very feel, and you can relax on the lounge chair next to it. Finally, a small complaint, Ctrip says it's a big bed OR a twin bed, and I was 🌚 assigned a twin bed and it was fully booked that day and couldn't be changed... Everything else is fine, very much in line with expectations. The check-in was a bit slow. What was encouraging was that the check-in lady sternly rejected the Korean couple who cut in line and told them to go and queue up👍 (speechless

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.

Our recent stay at Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu was a blend of highs and lows, with its strengths balanced by a few notable drawbacks. Situated in a reasonably good location and boasting cleanliness throughout, the hotel offered convenience and comfort in many aspects with a great pool and bar area including a separate adults pool. However, certain factors detracted from the overall experience, leaving us with mixed feelings about our time there. Let's start with the positives. The hotel's location, while not directly in the heart of the city hub, offered a decent compromise between convenience and tranquility. Close proximity to Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon provided easy access to beach activities and waterfront relaxation, adding a touch of serenity to our stay. Additionally, we found the hotel to be impeccably clean, with well-maintained facilities and a commi**ent to hygiene that was commendable. Despite these strengths, there were some notable downsides to our experience. The most significant inconvenience was the walking distance to the main city hub, which required a 15-20 minute walk to reach popular attractions, dining establishments, and shopping venues. While not a dealbreaker, this added a layer of logistical planning to our daily activities and limited spontaneity. Another issue that significantly impacted our stay was the persistent noise from the elevator. Unfortunately, our room was located close to the elevator, resulting in constant disturbances throughout the day and night. The loud mechanical noises disrupted our sleep and detracted from the overall ambiance of relaxation that we had hoped for. In summary, Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu offered a mix of positives and negatives during our stay. While the hotel's cleanliness and proximity to Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon were definite highlights, the walking distance from the city hub, the disruptive elevator noise, and having to pay for hotel parking detracted from the overall experience.

thank you for your help. I was worried about seeing the word of mouth, but it was very comfortable. Partial ocean view. The fireworks look beautiful because the opposite is Hilton. The room is clean. Since it is a condominium, I was able to cook easily because there is a kitchen. There are pots and frying pans with salt and pepper, so if you have olive oil, you can cook meat. There is a water server at the front desk, so it is convenient to have a PET bottle from 1.8ℓ. It was also convenient to move because it was in front of the pink line and city bus stops. The only thing that is unfortunate is that there is no bathtub and the shower is fixed, so it is difficult to use. I want to stay in Hawaii again when I come.

The hotel is located within Ala Moana district which is a 15 to 20 mins walk towards Waikiki Beach. Shopping wise it's very near to Ala Moana Mall which houses everything you can possibly want in a shopping mall. The staff are friendly and the service is great too. The hotel room deco is slightly dated but is still perfectly fine. Overall a great stay if you're looking for value for money and great stay in Honolulu.
