Staff were very nice, the greeting was lovely with pineapple juice, and the breakfast was great although not a lot of seating. Location is close to the beach and shops. It's not accessible at all for anyone in a wheelchair because there are 3 steps down to the main entrance from the street with no ramp. Drop off/pick up from rideshares is hard, there's absolutely no space to pull over unless you block the street or the ramp to the parking lot. There was black mold in multiple areas on the ceiling of the shower, probably because there's no fan in the washroom. I've never seen a smaller \"suite\". All in all, its functional, good breakfast, nothing fancy or special.

The hotel is an older hotel that is very well kept and clean. The staff is excellent and the breakfast buffet is very good with many selections including protein.
The hotel goes out of its way to be helpful, offering beach towels and beach toys on loan - just pick them up and drop them offer on an honor system.
The location is quite good - a very short walk to the beach and a 5 minute walk to Target for everything that you forgot. Most of the top restaurants and shopping is a short walk - it’s a perfect place to stay!

Excellent location, very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast with tea/coffee/water available 24/7, beach towels, chairs and umbrellas provided by the hotel which is great.

Small rooms and outdated, they can use a fresh coat of paint, the biggest draw is the noise coming thru the very poorly (un)insulated windows and thru the AC unit mounted in the window however, the rooms are good insulated to each other though as I've never heard any neighbor noise throughout our stay.

My stay was average overall. The room was comfortable, but there were a few issues that affected the experience. The breakfast was very repetitive, with almost the same options every day, so it quickly became boring. The parking was also quite expensive compared to other hotels. In addition, the room had a noticeable musty smell coming from the air conditioning, which made it feel less fresh and comfortable. I hope the hotel can address these issues, as they would make a big difference for future guests.

This hotel is 3 blocks from the beach, close to shops, restaurants and public transportation. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the amenities are in good condition. The common area has a very welcoming and pleasant living room feel. The room and bathroom are relatively small but serviceable. One constructive suggestion I have is to make the vacuuming of the room a daily routine given the proximity to the sand. Also, the shelves of the desk were full of dust and had not been dusted in a very long time. All in all this is a nice hotel that I plan to visit again in the future.

This hotel is located in a good area if you are planning on spending most of your time at Waikiki beaches. It’s a direct two block walk to the Duke statue and close to shops and restaurants including the International Marketplace.

The rooms are simple, reminding me more of a dorm room. Outdated, and our room was musty due to ac unit and windows were so dirty on outside our view of the ocean wasn’t magical. But we were on the go most of the time, so as a place to sleep, it was fine and bed was comfy.

The employees were all friendly and helpful, especially the valets. The amenities fee was, I felt, too much as well as the valet parking but probably comparable to other places nearby. Amenities were continental breakfast (meh, but free), there may have been a fitness center but no pool. They did have beach chairs, towels and sunscreen. The vibe downstairs makes it feel boutique, but that doesn’t match the room. Seems to have a lot of European guests.

Overall it was fine for our needs.

I did not expect to love this hotel so much. The staff were always helpful and welcoming from the front desk to valet and from the workers at the breakfast buffet. Which was always stocked and had fresh fruit and good hot foods and bread. When we first checked in our room smelled like cigarretes and was a little run down and when we asked to switch rooms Roger at front desk was very helpful and gave us a cleaner more spacious room. The free rent use of beach chairs, beach towels, totes and floaties which you can grab yourself and would need to use your room key to enter the storage were super convenient, you just have to return them by the bins at front desk after use. The location of the hotel is perfect. Its very close to the beach just a 2 min walk. And also close alot of other restaurants and stores. Overall i would stay again at this hotel!

Compared to top tier properties, I think Vive does a better job providing amenities for families, and for the beach, including chairs, mats, umbrellas, boogie boards, and even some sunscreen that may have been left by previous guests. The breakfast and coffee in the morning is a nice benefit for Hawaii.
The room size for a family of four was larger than most I’ve seen in Hawaii

Breakfast was wonderful. There was some confusion with our room not being available. They wanted us to stay one night in one room, then move to another room for the second night. This was unacceptable. For some reason the gentleman had to keep going into the back room to check with somebody. It reminded us of the salesman at a car lot having to check with his manager. They said they were giving us a tremendous upgrade to a penthouse suite. The view was \"penthouse\" we could see Diamond Head and the ocean between the other buildings. The room itself was not penthouse status. The door to the toilet would not close because it didn't fit into the frame anymore. It was nice enough, we probably would stay here again, but really could have done without the drama when checking in.

Coffee goes 24/7 and there are water refill stations within the hotel. Parking is valet $40 a day. Beach gear is also available for free which is super nice considering the beach is right up the street.

A few things worth mentioning that isn't specifically the hotels fault. Since you are on the main street. The outside noise can be an issue. I was woken up a few times due to this. Also the AC unit can be quite loud. Bed was a little rough, but room overall was good use of space. I would stay here again.

Very disappointed in our stay at Vive Hotel Waikiki. The rooms are not consistent with any of the marketing photographs on the hotels.com website or the hotel website itself.

First, the room walls are marked up pretty significantly. Reminded me of dorm room walls. Scratched, scuffed, and poorly repaired (if it was). Second, the overall cleanliness of the rooms was not at expectation either. The carpeting was dirty, the areas near the base boards were dusty, sandy and not well kept. The bathrooms again were not consistent with what is displayed on the website and have not been cleaned/maintained well.

In each room, there are old window AC units. While this is not a bother to us (we don't mind white noise) some may find this rather bothersome as they are loud and older.

Each room has towels around the windows. There was a fair amount of rain in Honolulu when we visited and to see white towels draped on each window sill tells you that there is a water and moisture problem at the hotel and the windows are in need of repair or upgrade.

When you consider what you are spending to stay in Waikiki at Vive, I am confident there are places that are better kept. I am stunned by the amount of 5/5 ratings this hotel has.

On a positive note, we did bring up our displeasure to the management. They did note that the photos are old and the hotel has aged (that is saying it nicely). They did hear our concerns, and upgrade our room to a larger one albeit with all the same issues.

However, the rooms were tidy and cleaned everyday. Breakfast was also ok. The eggs and meat felt like dorm food, and I didn't like the taste. Not many gluten free + dairy free options, but it was probably ok for most. check-in/check-out was quick. Valet was quick. Location was convenient. It's what you pay for, but if you want an elevated, really nice experience, this hotel is average.
