Our room was very spacious, and the kitchenette was incredibly useful for preparing snacks and simple meals. Overall, it was a great experience. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay!

Don’t let the outside of the hotel fool you! Its actually really clean, just a bit outdated. The staff were unbelievably nice and friendly. Very helpful. They clearly do their best to keep everything spotless. Our room was cleaned every day, and even if they don’t get to you daily, there’s a mandatory clean every third day. You can also request cleaning if needed. Our room had everything we needed—two beds (double or queen), a kitchenette, dining table, and even a balcony, which was nice to have. It’s not the closest to the beach, but it still has all the basics for a comfortable stay. One of the biggest perks is the free parking. It’s first come, first served though, so once it’s full, you’ll need to find other options. Otherwise, you’re looking at around $40–$50 per night at other hotels. There is free street parking overnight (10 PM–6 AM), which helps.
There’s also a pool, which is a nice bonus.

Laundry is also available at $4USD per cycle (wash) then another $4 for drying.

Overall, should we come back to Honolulu, we liked this hotel so much and would definitely stay here again. We stayed for 5 whole days so it wasnt too short of a stay.

Would definitely stay here again! Loved the spacious rooms, which have a well equipped kitchen and balcony, which had beautiful views of the mountains and canal. (I recommend upgrading to one of the higher floors for the view.) The location is perfect - in Waikiki but off the main strip so it's quiet and peaceful. Super close to lots of restaurants, cafes, shops, and the beach. There is free parking in the hotel parking garage. They don't guarantee a spot but I never had any trouble finding parking. Stay here and support a local, family run hotel rather than giving your money to one of the big chain hotels!

We were very impressed with this hotel. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The room was so comfortable and having the kitchen in the room was a big plus. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. The location was great. It was within walking distance to all of the downtown Wikiki restaurants, shops, activities, and beachs. The property has limited free parking but during our stay parking was always available. Even if you get to park a few nights it can save you big on your stay. On Wednesdays they offer a free lei making class which was excellent and one of the highlights of our trip. All in all this is a great choice if you are planning a trip to O'ahu.

We had a wonderful stay in every way. Although the interior felt slightly dated, the room was spacious and well equipped with all the basic cooking utensils, which made it easy to prepare meals.

Despite being just one block from a busy street filled with shops, the area was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. The hotel also offers excellent access to Waikiki Beach, making it very convenient to get around.

What we appreciated most was the free parking. While spaces aren’t assigned, we never had any trouble finding a spot, no matter what time we returned.

All of the staff were friendly, and although we didn’t have a chance to participate, it seemed like a variety of classes were available as well.

Our entire family was very happy with our stay, and we would definitely choose to stay here again on our next trip to Hawaii.

We stayed 7 nights at Ilima Hotel with kids. The hotel itself is clean and decent, and the kitchenette was useful. However, our room faced the White Sands Hotel night club, and loud music played every night from ~8:30 PM until 2:00 AM.

We were on the 5th floor, and the noise was clearly audible due to non-soundproof windows. Kids couldn’t sleep, and there were frequent loud screams outside. We could only sleep once the music stopped.

Another issue was weed smoke entering the room through the AC, which felt unsafe for children.

Hotel staff acknowledged the issue but only offered a paid room upgrade. No proactive resolution. This appears to be a known issue based on other reviews.

Resort fee was $47/night, but on Christmas Day there were no beach towels available.

Pros: clean room, kitchenette, laundry available
Cons: severe nighttime noise, air quality issues, poor resolution

Not recommended for families or longer stays if the room faces White Sands Hotel.

Room was large for the price, not like the modern rooms where they squeeze every inch of square footage to maximize profits. However, the area around the hotel is noisy at night. The old style louver glass windows do little to dampen the noise from the surrounding bars downstairs.

I like this hotel because the staff is very welcoming, The rooms are kept clean and each has a full size refridgerator which comes in handy as well as a cook top and microwave and pots, dishes, cutlery, etc to use. The parking, while limited in number, is free which is a big plus. Not on the beach means that it is a little quieter which is also a plus.

We arrived exhausted from a long flight to Hawaii. The staff was wonderful and we were thrilled that our room had been upgraded.
This is a very busy area with alot of shopping and restaurants, so we were grateful that this facility has its own parking under the hotel, therefore we did not have to park a distance and walk to our room. A huge bonus was the balcony which overlooks a canal. The next morning, we sat with our coffee and watched the joggers below, and a rowing race on the canal.

Hotel was very clean and convenient place to stay in Waikiki. Very easy to walk everywhere and with free parking, having a rental car for excursions was no issue. Large rooms allow for different guest setups- like accommodating teenagers or families. We had a beautiful view of the canal from our balcony. We really liked being a block or two away from the crowded areas of Waikiki so we could enter it when we wanted rather than being on top of it at a beachfront hotel. This is a really great option for Waikiki!
