I was there for 8 nights, and everything was really good. Only used the pool once and only used the restaurant for breakfast. It's boutiquish vs. some of the all-inclusive resorts in the area. A short walk to anywhere. I'd stay here again.

We stayed here when they first renovated and had a great experience. Unfortunately, this time around wasn’t the same. The walls were dirty (easily wiped off) as well as the shower, and we saw a roach in our room.

Their windows are also not soundproof/double-paned, so it gets VERY loud; you can hear all of the traffic outside.

Our biggest complaint was the parking. When we arrived, the hotel parking was full, so we had to park at a different hotel on our first day. The parking fee is also quite expensive at $50 per night.

That said, the hotel is in a fantastic location, and the rooms were clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Despite the parking inconvenience, we had a great stay and would definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit.

My stay at this hotel was disappointing because of the poor service.

At the restaurant, Molly was not a good server. My salad arrived missing several ingredients that were clearly listed on the menu, and no one explained or corrected the mistake.

The valet parking experience was also frustrating. Even though there were parking spaces available, I was told the valet was full. Instead, I was directed to park at the Hyatt parking garage, which is about 10 blocks away from the Wayfinder Hotel. Having to walk that distance after paying for a hotel stay was unacceptable.

The front desk staff provided very limited information. Most of the time, I had to find answers on my own because they were not very helpful.

The best part of my stay was definitely the beds—they were incredibly comfortable and provided a great night’s sleep.

A special thank you to the Housekeeping Department—well done! The room was always clean, well-maintained, and they did an excellent job throughout my stay.

It’s a shame that such comfortable accommodations and excellent housekeeping were overshadowed by the unfriendly and unhelpful attitude of other staff members.

Starting out, I had a family of 4 staying at this hotel and the room that we stayed in was very small. Did not look anything like the photos. Upon going into the bathroom, the ceiling was covered in what I can describe as maybe rust or something of the like. The walls were filthy as well. And lastly, I had payed extra for breakfast, and upon arrival, we were informed that they did NOT do breakfast. The staff was not helpful at some points and didn’t give us full explanations on amenities and/or questions that we had.

The hotel is welcoming from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.

The brutalist style interior gives you a nostalgic feeling met with the warm island breeze blowing through the lobby area.

Food at the restaurant is good, not a bad price either. Great start to the day. Coffee shop is open early if you want to kickstart the day earlier.

Many events are on-going around the hotel from live music (musicians and DJs) all made to help you relax not a crazy party scene. Its a family friendly atmosphere with
good energy all around.

I spent many hours at the pool area just enjoying relaxing environment. Plenty of room for families, couples, or solo travelers.

I have been to this hotel twice with family and really enjoyed my time there. If the prices don’t change much this is a good value and quality slightly away from the mainstay crazy part of Waikīkī.

I truly believe you will enjoy your stay there too!

We booked a room here for a few hours before our 11 PM flight so we could relax, shower, and recharge before traveling. When we first arrived, we were genuinely impressed with the hotel’s beautiful decor and modern feel. In fact, we were already talking about staying here again on our next trip.

Unfortunately, our experience quickly went downhill. After checking in (which was seamless), we noticed that the bed sheets appeared to be dirty or stained. Just a few minutes later, the ceiling vent began aggressively leaking water directly onto my luggage.

We called guest services, and while someone eventually came to inspect the issue, there was no apology or acknowledgement of the inconvenience from the front desk, which made it feel as though situations like this were routine.

Between the stained bedding, the leak, and the overall experience, we ended up leaving much earlier than planned. Our goal of having a relaxing few hours before our long flight completely went out the window.

It’s disappointing because the hotel made such a great first impression, but the cleanliness, maintenance issues, and lack of empathy from the front desk ultimately overshadowed what could have been a great stay.

Perfect hotel for 2 people, may not be the best for families because rooms are quite small. Staff was great, friendly, and super helpful with anything you may need. The food was delicious. Valet parking was definitely worth it because parking in the streets is really difficult. The only thing I would change is the pool close time. It would be nice to come back after a long day out and be able to go into the pool past 10:00pm.

This hotel was so pretty! The rooms are decorated to the highest standards with the best quality furnishings and bedding. We had a huge suite which gave us heaps of space for four adults and the wraparound balcony was such a bonus with a great view. Our only feedback is that some of the front desk staff were a bit offhand, and the kitchen was more for aesthetic purposes than a functional space- small things like a dishcloth or a sharp knife for cutting would have been useful.

I traveled with family. We arrived at the property just before 1pm and attempted to check in, but no rooms were cleaned. We decided to grab some lunch while we waited. There is a restaurant and bar on the property, but it closed at 1:00pm, 5 minutes before we walked over to the counter. It’s closed during lunch time and didn’t open again until 5:00pm. Who closes during lunch hour and is the only restaurant at the hotel? We were hungry so we went down the street to eat prior to checking in so that was wild to me. We returned around 2:30pm, and no rooms were ready yet. The clerk at the front desk literally waited until exactly 3:00pm to radio up to see if a room was clean. We got the key just after 3. We get up to the room. The room is extremely small the photos that you see online are very, very deceptive. Once we get into the room we realize that sand is all over the floor and on the balcony, the bathroom has black mold on the tile. The lampshade looked like something bit into it. There’s paint missing inside the bathroom on the wall. Ohhh and there is a regular outlet right next to the toilet on the wall. Not a GFCI outlet, just a regular one. The child crib was dirty. You get what you pay for. Beware of a deal….
The only thing that I can say positive about this hotel is that the view from the balcony of the canal and edge of Diamond Head was beautiful. That’s the “premium view” rooms.

Easy check in. Resort fee includes two welcome drinks and as a silver/gold Expedia member we received a bottle of wine and seems like our room got upgraded even though the receptionist did not say so. The place is chic and clean. The room is stylish but some parts seemed run down, maybe it didn’t make the renovation from a few years ago. It’s right by the canal and much more quiet than staying on the strip. About 5 minutes walk to the beach without the beach front premium which is great! Will probably stay here again!

It’s a bummer to have to pay a “resort fee” when it’s NOT a resort. You can’t check in until 1500 and you still get charged for that day. The charge should not charge until Day 2. We didn’t even use the pool.

The food in the restaurant was great! My wife enjoyed the lei making class offered by the hotel. We felt safe walking around Waikiki even at night. The location of the hotel was perfect. We were close to everything we wanted to go to. We ubered to Pearl Harbor and spent almost a full day there. It was one of the highlights of our trip!

The outdoor seating gets full very quickly and I didn’t get to enjoy it very much during our stay which is unfortunate since they charge a resort fee on top of what they charge for the stay. But the main thing that was very frustrating was the parking situation, They only offer limited valet parking which is also a separate fee from the stay and the resort fee. Apart from that the stay was great, we loved our room and the bed was very comfortable.

Overall, the hotel was great—the location and price were excellent, and the staff were very friendly and professional. However, it was quite noisy. We could hear people from upstairs, the lobby, and outside (we were on the second floor), which made it hard to relax and sleep. The bed was also a bit too soft for our liking. Because of the noise, it may not be the best choice for families with children or light sleepers.

Overall, a very solid stay. Nothing fancy or over the top, but nice. The room was nice and clean with cute decor. The pool area was nice with several seats but can fill up fast. The location is a bit of a bummer as it's a bit of a walk to the beach and shops and restaurants but manageable. Yet my main criticism during my stay was the staff. Regardless of who you talked to, whether it was checking in or out at the front lobby, the towel attendant at the pool, or the bartender at the pool bar (Lost N Found), everyone was just frankly unfriendly. No matter the interaction, it was like they were bothered to have to interact with you. I just expected a more warm bubbly environment but absolutely did not get that here. For our next stay, I will look else but it was a solid stay for this week.
