What a vibe! Brings 50’s 60’s Hawai’i vibes like old style tiki lounge feelings.

Was hard to find the hotel in a rental car- it’s tucked away. Just stop your rental and ask the front desk where to park! They have a deal with Hyatt Centric parking garage a 5 min walk away. Get a ticket from the front desk and ticket from the garage and have the front desk validate it.

60’s ish building renovated with old style charm brought back. Lounges are super chill and actually inviting to relax in. The bar is really big and has amazing drinks! It’s a rated top 5 bar in Oahu which was a nice surprise.

I loved sitting in the lounge and was surprised this place is super dog friendly! I got to pet so many dogs visiting!!!!!!! Frenchies, a teacup Pom, what a great time!

Renovations are nice and it was a cozy stay and I’d absolutely stay again!

Staff was super friendly too!

Fab 2 night stay at Surfjack. Live music nights were great, pool and lounge area very inviting and room (penthouse) amazing. Staff were very friendly and I only wish I could have stayed longer. Was lovely seeing owners and their dogs enjoying their holidays together on site. Would highly recommend and if I am ever able to return to Waikīkī, I will be sure to stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay here! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed to care that we had a great experience.

The hotel has such a fun, relaxed island vibe. The pool area was beautiful, the food was delicious, and everything was clean and well maintained. One of the things we appreciated most was that it was dog-friendly, which allowed our friend to bring her Golden Retriever along while we visited. That made our trip extra special.

The location was perfect, and we loved spending time by the pool and just soaking in the atmosphere. It’s one of those places that simply makes you feel happy and on vacation.

We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, welcoming, and pet-friendly place to stay. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

We just left after staying at this hotel for our 39th anniversary. It’s a verrrrrrry dog and kid friendly hotel. Which can be a good and bad thing. We have 5 dogs, so am used to being awakened by one of them. So on vacation when I heard a dog yelping in the middle of the night, I thought it was my dog lol. You can hear the pups here and there. Not a big deal for us. And getting to pet about 20 dogs was the highlight of our stay. Made us miss our pooches. So that was the only bad thing. Making us sad with all those cute and friendly pups.
Being kid friendly meant sometimes hearing a wee one cry. We have 3 grown children, but we remember those days. So for us, the noise was familiar.
The bed was comfy. The linens were crisp. The room was spacious which was good for me as I’m handicapped. The balcony was great! The staff was kind. The bartender, a super tall fellow was nice too. We never went swimming. Which we both wish we did as we were checking out today. That’s one reason we chose this place was for the fun pool. Just not enough time in the day.
But we did borrow 2 towels every time we headed to the beach or snorkeling adventure. Just bring them back and drop them into the dirty towel receptacle.
They even store your luggage if you need. Which we did. It was a safe area to store.
The location was spot on.
We were very near everything.
All of our tour pick ups were within 5-10 min walk.
We never used a car. Just walked.
It was a great stay!!

I enjoyed the laid back vibe and all the beautiful doggies. However, it was hard to enjoy due to the poor conditions and many repugnant smells. Skipping puddles of pee in and out of the elevator and hallway was not a vacation activity I planned on participating in. We had to buy our own towels for bathing as the ones provided had a sticky residue. The hot water cones and goes when there is water available for showering. Watch your credit card as well as mistakes were made during my experience after checking out. It was corrected promptly I must mention but it still contributed to the numerous aspects that made our once in a lifetime mother daughter trip fall short of expectations to the say the least. The staff was great and friendly which was a plus but I would not stay here again .

This hotel was nice and staff were helpful. It is in a prime location to all restaurants and the beach. What I didn’t like was the rooms were so small. We were 3 and it was super tight. I feel like I barely had room to move around. Also-if you have a car you need to park off site which was like a 5 min walk from the hotel. They did take our items to our room while we parked our car which was nice. Also, kids need to leave the pool at 6pm from the pool which was hard for my son since he loved the pool. I think this hotel is more for adults and not so for families with children.

My husband and I typically book chain hotels, but we wanted something different for our 5 year wedding anniversary trip to Oahu. The Surfjack was EVERYTHING we hoped it would be and more!
Our room was comfortable, spacious, and updated. We LOVED the coffee shop, bar, and restaurant on site - all three get a double thumbs up! We also really appreciated the lobby water refill station. The hotel sits in a great location that is walkable to many restaurants, shops, a target, etc.
We truly felt like we were on vacation while staying at the Surfjack!

Only notes would be:
As a rare coffee drinker, a few iced tea selections at the coffee shop would be appreciated (my iced chai was very good though, and my husband liked his coffee).
You will be walking a bit to and from your parked car. I believe they give you notice when you book & directions are provided upon checking in. We felt safe and it wasn’t an issue, but something for solo female travelers to consider.

Overall, I had a decent stay, but there were a few things that stood out. The first-floor pool area is really nice and probably one of the highlights of the property. However, the building itself feels a bit outdated. It looks like they’ve tried to refresh it with paint, but you can still see scuffs and wear throughout.

The beds were very comfortable, which I appreciated, but housekeeping could use some improvement. When I grabbed a towel to wash my face, it had hair all over it, which was honestly off-putting. I didn’t end up complaining, but it’s something that should definitely be addressed.

The rooms could also use some upgrades—specifically full-length mirrors and better lighting. Those small details would make a big difference in the overall experience.

The coffee bar was a bit underwhelming, especially if you’re someone who enjoys a good coffee setup. There’s a cute clothing shop next to it, which I liked, but unfortunately they didn’t have my size.

The location was fine—just a little farther than I typically prefer, but still walking distance from a lot of places.

I will say, the concierge staff were really nice and helpful, which made a positive impression and helped balance out some of the downsides.

Overall, it wasn’t a bad stay, but with a few improvements, it could be much better.

We stayed at Surfjack Hotel & Swim Club and had a mixed but overall okay experience.

The location is excellent—right in Waikiki and very convenient. The staff were truly a highlight: friendly, attentive, and welcoming. For Hawaii pricing, the hotel offers fair value.

However, there are some areas that could be improved. The shower temperature was inconsistent, and the bathroom felt a bit dated. The carpet in our rooms wasn’t very clean, and one of our rooms had a cockroach, which was concerning. We also noticed the drinking glasses and faucet felt slightly dirty and oily, which made us question the overall cleanliness. The pool is on the smaller side, and the property looks more worn in person compared to the photos.

Parking is limited due to a low garage height (around 6’), so larger vehicles won’t fit. We parked across the street from Ross for $27/day, which was reasonable.

Overall, this hotel may be a better fit for a younger crowd looking for a fun, casual stay. For us, we may have been a bit spoiled by newer hotels elsewhere, but for Waikiki, it’s still a decent option if you come in with the right expectations.

I thought the hotel was average. It was a good location where it was in-between the shops (International Market Place, Kalākaua Ave etc...) and the beach. It was about a 10 min walk to the beach. The hotel itself seems a bit old/outdated. The shower pressure was weak and there were a few times where the water completely turned off on me while washing my hair. I had to play with the shower knob & stood naked with soap in my hair until the water turned back on (it was a vulnerable moment for me lolol). The sink water pressure was also on and off at one point too. It was on then it stopped, on, stopped etc... Luckily, it didn't happen often enough where it ruined my stay...

If you're looking for an affordable hotel that's straight to the point (just to sleep and close to the beach) I'd recommend this place. However, if you're looking for a more luxurious hotel, this one might not be the one. Given the price, I'd say it's reasonable (except the shower/sink). hopefully, it was just our room that experienced this.

A hidden gem in Waikiki!! While unassuming from the outside, Surfjack was an amazing stay for our 4 days in Hawaii. The staff is nothing short but lovely. The room was clean and quite spacious, we liked having a balcony too. The only downside was that the parking garage was 2 blocks away. The walk wasn't bad but it logistically hindered us on multiple occasions as we couldn't quickly get in/out of the hotel. Would recommend this stay otherwise!

Daily beach towels are available at the front desk.

Upon arrival, check in was a breeze- quick and easy. My room was great, the floor could have been swept a bit better but not a huge deal. The lanai overlooking the pool and the “wish you were here” was pretty cool. The room has a/c as well as a ceiling fan which is nice.
The live band in the evenings (Tuesday-Friday) is also a nice touch to the ambiance.
The onsite restaurant and bar ‘ Mahina and Suns ‘ has great food options with even better drinks at affordable prices. Oh and super friendly/ attentive servers and bartenders.
Overall stay was amazing! Dog friendly, military friendly. There were several servicemen and women staying there which was awesome to see. Will definitely stay there again.

Cannot say enough good things about this adorable little hidden gem of a hotel!! From the moment you walk onto the property, an open-air, Bali-style entrance with pool in the courtyard, Surfjack impresses. Very friendly & helpful local front desk, very clean, great cool AC, balcony with a little table and chairs. The location is excellent, right in the middle of town, a 6 minute walk to the beach, cute little coffee shop attached, a nice restaurant/bar with happy hour specials on site, ABC store on the corner, food truck across the street, Thai restaurant next door, and every shop/restaraunt just a block away...yet it was still very serene & tranquil, a little oasis off the main street. Each night there's great live music by the pool. Pet-friendly, and there's even a Tuesday meet&greet with the resident hotel dog. There's a free little coffee setup each morning next to the pool, and a HiWater Technology water machine in the pool area to refill water bottles. Shower area included shampoo/conditioner/body wash, and the hotel even provided beach towels to take to the beach. Room does also include a little fridge. Beds were very comfortable. Amazing value for the price. 1000% will stay here on our next trip!

Only spent one night after a week on the North Shore before flying out. Cool little place. Not chaos like most Waikiki resorts. Kind staff. Clean rooms and common areas. Will stay there again next time through.

This place is pretty old with a very vintage look. The room was much bigger than I thought and it was great for one night.

It was a plain room, clean/
staff were around but average, just doing their jobs. No attempts at engagement. However, good location and Low priced. We left one day early and tried to advise Expedia on Thursday and Friday but was told to deal with it after we checked out.

The staff at Surfjack was very courteous, kind and supportive however, we did not have hot water. The water will stay hot for 10 seconds before returning to cold. We had to be switched to another room on our last night and still had cold water. My only complaint.

Staff was so friendly. Coffee shop right near front desk, this place has a very chill no frills vibe. I loved it. Clean and comfy beds. They also have free coffee near the pool in the morning..at night you can go down and grab a drink at the bar. Live music. I had assumed parking was on site or a valet could park my car. So you check in leave your stuff and then take your car about 2 blocks away. It’s not that bad of a walk but in the city after a long day of travel or exploring just be prepared for that. One night I found street parking but was worried I’d get towed or ticketed. Overall really enjoyed this place.

I’ll start with the best parts, the front desk people were always helpful and pleasant. The bartenders were all great, I believe we were served by 3 different guys during a week long stay and all were great. The bar and pool deck areas were very nice, a great place to hangout, particularly in the evening with live music to enjoy. We had dinner there on the pool deck one evening and the music in the background was very nice. The area is very walkable, less than 10 minutes to the beach, tons of restaurants and entertainment venues very close by.
The room was less than perfect, we did the suite with balcony which was plenty spacious. The furniture is pretty worn although the bed was comfortable. In the cleanliness category I’d give it a C+ (my wife’s rating might be a bit lower) the shower area in particular could use a deep cleaning. Apparently room service is on a special request basis, not sure that in our 5 day stay the room ever had more than the towels refreshed.
All in I think from a value perspective they did pretty well, you can spend a ton of money on a hotel in this area and at the end of the day experience the same things.

Staf was fantastic! Check in was seamless with a complementary upgrade and a complementary bottle of champagne for our birthdays.
Happy Hour was the best with the $2 fresh oysters. Ian our bartender was a class act!
Had a great time at the pool and the burger was delicious!
