The staff is great and very accommodating. The room was clean with an awesome ocean view. This Hilton hotel is located at the beginning of Waikiki so it’s perfect for restful sleep and relaxation. But also close enough to all the action so we could walk to the many restaurants, stores, and beautiful beaches.
MAHALO NUI LOA!!!

I was very disappointed when we arrived and found out breakfast had been discontinued. We were given a $600. discount (for 24 breakfasts) that could only be applied to this hotel. Being in Hawaii it would be difficult to buy a breakfast for $25. The breakfast was one of the reasons we chose this hotel and we should have been informed earlier.
I was also very unhappy that the hotel solicited us to attend a 1 1/2 hr session to sell us something. They offered us a $200 gift card to attend and woke me from a nap when they called our room. I am on vacation and I didn't want $200.

To be honest, the staff really was the centerpiece of the stay. From check-in to a welcome call from the concierge, and the housekeepers who made our bed every day—everyone was amazing. I can’t thank the Hilton staff enough for making us feel so cared for and going above and beyond. Big mahalo to every point of contact! <3

The room was clean , we were on the 9th floor with a corner/side view of the marina - the traffic below us was a bit noisy- but nothing too crazy.If you kept your sliding glass door open you could hear the traffic. The balcony was enough for two people to side out and catch the afternoon sun

There was no mini bar but the bar at the pool was good. The bartender though I did not care for. He didn't acknowledge us even though he saw us and sat at the empty bar counter. Other then that I liked everything. Parking was nice and easy, and most everything was near to walk to. I recommend it if someone would ask.

We stayed in hilton modern from april 1-7 and it was the best relaxing vacation ever. We love everything about the hotel. Our stay had been very meaningful and memorable for us. The hotel looks modern inside the hotel most especially the rooms, the rooms are big and very clean. They clean the rooms, washroom, bed and toilet everyday. The washrooms in the lobby are tremendous. The hotel is quiet, very comfortable and very safe to stay in (only checked in guests have access to the elevator and washrooms). The washrooms in the lobby area are tremendous and very clean. The location is very close to the beach (beachfront hotel), very close to restaurants, fastfoods, ABC store, and close to waikiki if you would like to stroll the whole waikiki, and 10 minutes walk to ala moana mall if you are interested. The swimming pool is very nice for family with kids, their restaurant cooks delicious and variety of foods. The staffs are very nice and wonderful. They also have activities inside the hotel everyday including lei making, yoga, etc.

Hotel was great, staff were super friendly and welcoming. Within walking distance of everything in Waikiki. Room was very clean upon arrival. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the bed was hard as a rock and felt like sleeping on a cardboard box. But there is plans for renovation in the near future

Everyone was nice. The property was clean. There is no spa, the pool is very small, there is a second “pool” that is about 6” deep that is adults only and has sun loungers. They have some small activities but you have to register with the “concierge” who really just wants to sell you a timeshare. The property is pretty good but amenities are lacking. Especially given the “resort fee” you have to pay daily - which is puzzling because the amenities are not really any better than a standard hotel would be.

The hotel is nice, but my main issue was the noise. I got a room in 3rd floor and the noise of the street was on times a bit much. I am sensible to the noise and I asked for a room as far as posible from the elevators. The first time I was given a room right acrross from the elevators. I went back to the desk and requested another room. I was relocated to a lower level.

Originally booked an Airbnb for our trip but upon arrival, we saw that it was not clean whatsoever. Had to find a hotel to stay in for the week so we booked this stay on a whim and ended up LOVING it. The staff are so kind and helpful, the location is great, and there is so much to do. The one downside is that The Grove restaurant had confusing hours (likely due to the storm that was hitting Oahu during this time). The food at The Grove was delicious though, we just wish the hours of operation were better.

Will definitely be staying here the next time that we come to Oahu!

We are currently staying at the Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu, and overall our experience has been wonderful. I must admit our check-in process was a little shaky at first; however, Bella handled the situation with exceptional grace and professionalism, which we truly appreciated.

During our stay, we also had the pleasure of meeting Mina at the concierge desk, and she has been absolutely outstanding. She has gone above and beyond in helping us with restaurant recommendations, transportation tips, excursions, and ideas for things to do with our family—especially during the recent storm when we needed extra guidance.

Beyond her knowledge and helpfulness, Mina’s warm personality and infectious smile made us feel genuinely welcomed. She truly helped make our stay better than we expected.

If you are visiting the hotel, be sure to stop by the concierge desk and ask for Mina for recommendations on excursions and things to do around the island. She is fantastic!

Our stay in Honolulu was highly enjoyable, particularly as we were celebrating my mother's birthday, which she truly appreciated. We were somewhat taken aback to discover that this Hilton location does not provide any special offerings for birthdays. In contrast, our previous experiences at other Hilton establishments in California and Nevada included various birthday amenities.

Nonetheless, the hotel staff were remarkably accommodating and hospitable, fulfilling our requests for additional towels, new trash bags, and other necessities. They also provided water tickets, allowing us to avoid unnecessary expenditures on bottled water. However, it is worth noting that the parking fees were exorbitant, even with the seemingly modest discount extended to guests. For our brief stay of five days and four nights, we incurred parking costs totaling nearly $200.

Ocean view from the room. The staff were amazing it was clean and everyone was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They stopped breakfast before my stay which was kind of a bummer they didn’t inform me before it bought the package. Parking fees were not previously mentioned either so be mindful of those and the WiFi fee.

The room was a partial ocean view, which should have bave been a sliver of ocean view. The bed was rock hard, and they charged for everything, which was not clear before checking in. When you ask about what transportation they normally recommend, they list all the normals. I ask for which was more reliable or cost efficient, they had no clue. You ask about restaurant recommendations, and two concierge refer you to an offsite restaurant, where none of them have eaten,and steaks are very expensive. Then you ask them about things to see, and they try to get you to join a very expensive per person luau that coincidentally is free if you sit through their timeshare seminar. No other recommendations. We ended up leaving for home early due to my husband's health issues, and they refused to refund our money or even give us a credit stating that it would have to come from Expedia. Its not like we planned for his issues. I guess Hilton must be struggling. The parking garage was creepy, and there were vagrants and obvious druggies everywhere. The hotel is clean, but very dated. Not sure how it's modern, and the balcony furniture was rusty. I will never stay at another Hilton.

Overall the place is pretty nice. The shower floor of our bathroom is a bit dirty but has a modern look. One interesting thing about the bathroom is it has 2 louver windows, privacy could be an issue.

This place is in a good location. 2 mins walk from McDonald's and ABC store. 5 mins walk from Hilton Lagoon and fireworks. The staffs were nice and helpful. There is a self parking lot with in and out privileges. They offered 2 boxed water daily but it tasted different. There are also water refill stations within the property. There is a safe, mini fridge in the room as well. Coffee machine and free coffee daily.

There were extra fees that apparently I didn't notice. The way the information was written, I thought there was complimentary breakfast and parking, but that wasn't the case. The staff isn't knowledgeable about places to eat or places to visit other than the luau that's free if you sit through their sales meeting and to steer you to a restaurant with $100 steaks where none of them have ever eaten at. The room was clean although the mattress was too firm. I'm sure others love it. The balcony furniture was rusty and the partial ocean view was a sliver with the vast majority being the roof of the adjoining building. Overall it met our needs, but for the money, i was disappointed.

Front Desk staff were all very friendly and accommodating, particularly Jean-Luc when I checked in.
The room met all expectations and the daily housekeeping was a pleasant surprise as most hotels on the mainland are every other day at best.
Both pools were well maintained and never had issues getting a lounger at any time of the day. Somewhat loud elevator issue mentioned in several reviews was only a concern during waking hours (roughly 0700-2100) so no problem for me. Overall, this hotel offered much less crowding compared to neighboring hotels with several addition floors/room. This alone would bring me back. Well done.
