Queen Kapiolani Hotel Waikiki, Honolulu

Passable

Liked: The position and the wonderful view of Diamond Head from the room.We arrived early just to leave the suitcases but they made the check-in and they gave us the room at 8:30 a.m. without plus charge
Disliked: There was a pot in the room but no instant coffee or tea bags so you could only drink hot water (LoL)The pool was under repair, but we could use the pool of another hotel close to ours. The problem was that the pool is at the 3rd floor, where there’s a view on Diamond Head, but they didn’t allow us to enter in the terrace because only the restaurant customers were allowed. If we could use the pool we could have a wonderful sight of Diamond Head. They didn’t tell us before arriving even if they contacted us by email for the informations before arriving.Fortunately we had a room with a view on Diamond Head.Without the view, the hotel itself doesn’t worth the price.

Wonderful

Liked: Extra accommodations went above and beyone. Reuseable water bottle, free beach chairs and boogie boards. The room smells wonderful and the view of Diamondhead is fantastic

Very good

Relaxing. Beautiful Sunsets and Sunrises...

Liked: The views were beautiful. Location is great.
Disliked: The beds were not as comfortable as I would have preferred. We stayed 8 nights and the mattress was hard.

Walkable and affordable hotel with...

Liked: The location is ideal, situated at the end of the Waikiki strip. Close to the water, as well as many shops and restaurants. Also easy access for leaving the property by car to explore other parts of the island. Also, it's not a bad walk if you are physically able, to get to the "other end" of Waikiki near the Royal Hawaiian where the catamarans depart, etc.
Disliked: You can see the age of the property, and while it's been updated, it's not a total renovation by any means. That being said, it was clean and perfectly comfortable. Just not NEW and some people don't like seeing the age of fixtures, plumbing etc.

Nice rooms (small) with great...

Liked: Excellent location. Comfortable beds with great AC. Nice balcony.
Disliked: No coffee makers in room which is on small side. No free coffee in lobby. The cafe prices are crazy high as are the prices for restaurant. Most hotels have at least one menu option that is affordable. Not here.
