You can tell they have tried to give this older place character and kitsch, which definitely has a cool vibe in theory. But the hallways were dingy and not clean (the rooms were fine), and many of the amenities have seen better days. Unfortunately the hot tub is ice cold and there is no out of order sign on it. I chose this hotel in part to soak away muscle aches after a long flight, but sadly that was not possible. Considering the resort fees you pay here, I'm not exactly sure what we are paying for, as there was nothing more than what a typical hotel would offer.

The staff were professional and efficient. I really appreciated the warm greeting after a long exhausting day, including complimentary beverages at the hotel speakeasy.

Bring your own instant coffee or tea. We stayed 5 nights and no coffee in the room. $5 at the desk. Room updates were being made during our stay so maybe be better for future guests. Rooms are small. Sheet barely fit the bed so didn't tuck in. Our balcony view was the alley....

I stayed at White Sands from March 31 to April 4, 2026. It was just my daughter and me. Overall, I would rate my stay 3 out of 5 stars.
The property is in a great location—there’s a mall about a 5-minute walk away and the beach is roughly a 12–15 minute walk. The staff is friendly, and the amenities are nice. I also appreciated the valet parking service; it was very convenient not having to worry about finding parking.
However, there were a few downsides. Every morning around 4 a.m., there was a loud beeping noise that sounded like a garbage or dumpster truck making rounds, which would wake me up. Just as I was falling back asleep, construction at a neighboring hotel would start, making it difficult to get a good night’s rest. The noise level overall was a major issue.
Additionally, the bathroom drain didn’t work well. The water drained very slowly at first, and by the third night it wouldn’t drain at all, forcing us to shower while standing in dirty water.
Overall, if you don’t mind some noise and minor maintenance issues, this can be a good place to stay, especially considering the price. I paid about $675–$695 for four nights.

The photos would have been taken on this Hotel’s best day ever. It’s located on a grotty street, the whole place seems to be covered in a layer of stickiness- booze, etc etc - the bed was clean. That’s about all I can say about it, stay here if you’re very young, on a budget, and looking for a backpacker-esque vibe.

White Sands Hotel is a wonderful little gem set in the heart of Waikiki. It's not fancy but the rooms are comfortable and there is a quaint tiki bar with swinging chairs and delicious food. The pool is small but offers comfortable loungers and other seating in a comfortable tropical surrounding. The area offers lots of restaurants, cafes and shopping very close by which makes it a perfect location for an affordable, comfortable stay.

The walls are thin and the doors slam hard. Good luck sleeping. The hot water isn't always available either. The staff are nice and the towel card is helpful. It's acceptable for its location and price but also expect to walk out to dirty streets and homeless drug addicts everywhere.

The room was very clean and comfortable, nicely decorated and had almost everything we needed. Only one of the nightstands had a lamp though; it would have been nice if they both did, so that both of us could read a book at night. A kettle in the room also would have been appreciated, because there is no free coffee in this hotel.

My family and I stayed at this boutique hotel a few times in the past and like it due to its fun atmosphere with a little pool and fun pool bar with swings you can hang out on while you get drinks and listening to music. This particular time we chose to stay here and celebrate my son 13th birthday with friends and family by the pool getting drinks and listening to music, but On this particular stay there was some extreme weather causing all the amenities to be shut down and power to the entire hotel to be off for most of the first day we were there the hotel. The hotel had no backup power so guest were given a few glow sticks to provide light for there rooms no ac. The second day was not much better weather was still overcast with some rain but the pool access to the only pool was very limited due to a event at the hotel and the pool bar also was closed too for the event and closed for the day prior to the event. so with the weather being not so great and the pool being closed the kids hung out in room for bit only to find out the tv in the room was broken and could not catch any station or stream movies off our phones which sucked to keep a bunch of kids entertained. We call the front deck they tried but couldn’t fix it. The Last day there was not much better the pool was open, pool bar was closed no music just sad vibes of stay that never happened..in the end leaving this hotel left me feeling more drained, exhausted and sad this was not a relaxing get away just expensive.

Pick your room wisely. Had me in a king room directly above a speakeasy that plays music until 1 a.m. for two out of four nights.
Should just advertise it for people wanting to party down as it was a large room.
Housekeeping, and front desk staff, no matter what time of day, were great, and very accommodating. Tons of amenities, and clean rooms. Proximity is close to beach and shopping.

This motel is grossly misrepresented in media photos. The bar is cool and clearly a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. The accommodation spaces are filthy dirty, stained and unmaintained. The pool is ok. The location is a close walk off the main Waikiki strip, but the block between the White Sands and the strip is very smelly (garbage and dumpsters) and a popular smoking and sitting spot for unhoused locals. The room itself was musty and dirty; very musty. There was black mold in the shower tiles. Patio was unusable as it was directly over an alleyway and facing another apartment building. This is a hostel experience for Hawaiian resort prices!

we really enjoyed our stay at the white sands hotel. the staff was very friendly, and the hotel was well located downtown for a very reasonable price. our room took a little long to get ready (past check in time) but one of the managers more than made up for it by kindly giving us $50 food/drink credits. great service, great hotel and would absolutely recommend!

Good:

1. Good location in the center of Wakiki beach
2. Hotel offers great equipment such as GoPro, beach towel and other gears
3. Most staff are nice and helpful. Smooth and quick check-in / check out process
4. Free smoothies! (machine was broken most of the time)

Bad:

The bathroom has blood stains all over it - was very very disgusting and unhygienic. It was clear that no one thoroughly checked the room before guests are here. We requested to move to a different room and were subsequently placed to a room directly above the bar (again not a good gesture when you know it’s going to get very loud late into the night). The music was loud till 1am - we requested to move to a different room and things got better.

More to that, we had to drag our luggages by ourselves moving from one room to another. We had asked hotels to move our packed luggages. They said yes but it was not done.

Overall, it was only after 2 horrible nights out of 5 day-stay to be in a reasonably clean room as expected out of a moderate hotel.

Great staffs. Super helpful.
Worst room I’ve ever been. Smell like mold, and no proper ventilation. Also found dead roaches. The fridge was noisy. It was holiday season so we were not able to change room for the first 6 days until our last night. The new room was much better. No weird smell. But it’s right above a restaurant which had loud party until 1 am.
The people working here are awesome. Friendly and helpful.

Place is a good location and price in terms of Hawaii.

I would be careful walking at night back to the hotel.
The main strip is well lit with some security and heavy foot traffic. It’s very dark when heading back and not well lit. My wife and I got chased by a crazy person and had to run into the liquor store on the corner on the way back about 30-40 feet from the hotel. There are also a lot of homeless outside the bar/pool hall on this street who will harass you.

Hotel is also noisy around mid/late afternoon due to the live music. There were also constant ants around our bathroom sink that would not go away and were there upon check in.

Hotel staff is super nice and someone is always at the counter if something is needed.

Pros: price, location, amenities
Cons: Safety, Ants, Loud music nightly

Would suggest this to younger travelers, and anyone who likes nightlife.

WiFi didn’t work the entire stay.
Tv local channels only because WiFi didn’t work
Room smelled humid/mildew maybe better ventilation, my allergies were activated. Room phone didn’t work but I was near front desk so I was able to walk to it and ask for assistance. No coffee machine in room and their coffee machine at lobby was broken. Free slushies from 11-4 but machine didn’t work. Hot tub tile was missing a lot of pieces, a little sharp but didn’t get hurt …So overall I have Mixed feelings, probably won’t come back

Maggam ( pronounced Meagan) the front desk manager in the morning was amazing. She made the trip. I had to go to a bank for a notary and She helped me find the closest one. Additionally, She makes the absolute best coffee. Maggam was cheerful to everyone. The pool area and the bar are awesome! I especially like the swings at the bar. iWaikiki.

This was my first ever visit to Hawai'i and my partner and I stayed 8 nights here at White Sands Hotel. I loved how friendly and helpful the staff was. Our room was clean, we loved the hot tub, and loved how close the hotel was in walking distance to so many things in Waikiki. We loved that we were able to borrow beach chairs for free as well. The food was good and a great option for us when we didn't want to leave the hotel area. We also loved the slushies and breakfast burritos at the front desk. The one thing that was kind of a bummer was that we had to valet our car every day/night because we had no other option and it got a little pricey. But even with that, the valet staff was super welcoming and helpful. We would definitely stay here again in the future.
