We had a fantastic stay at Hyatt Place Waikiki! The hotel is in a perfect location, just a short walk from Waikiki Beach, restaurants, and shops. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, and the complimentary breakfast was a great start to each day.
A special thank you to Dino and Bojan for their exceptional hospitality. They were always friendly, welcoming, and eager to help, making our stay even more enjoyable.
We also want to mention that, despite reading some comments about the elevators, we had no issues at all. The elevators were efficient during our stay, and everything went smoothly.
We highly recommend Hyatt Place Waikiki and would happily stay here again!
I came to Honolulu for my 50th reunion from high school here and decided to stay here because I like Hyatt group of hotels.
It is located towards the East end of Waikiki, fairly close to Kapiolani Park and Zoo. Only a block away from the beach.
The hotel itself is somewhat dated, and probably could use some freshing up. Not much parking space, so I had to use nearby public parking for$50 per 24 hours while valet parking at the hotel is $60.
The staff were courteous and efficient. I decided to splurge and got high floor ocean view room. The room was small sized compared to other Hyatt Place, but clean and comfortable.
The buffet breakfast was what I expected, pretty good but nothing grand. It was good to see steamed white rice with miso soup, kimchee and pickled Japanese cucumber. The dining area is outside next to the swimming pool. Do be careful to protect your food from a throng of small birds. They are aggressive.
My friends and I had a great stay at Hyatt Place Waikiki! The location was perfect—close enough to the main Waikiki strip that everything was easily walkable, but just far enough away to enjoy a quieter atmosphere.
What really stood out was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our stay. They made us feel well taken care of and were always happy to help whenever we had questions or needed anything.
Overall, it was a great experience, and we’d definitely stay here again the next time we’re in Honolulu. Highly recommend!
Parking situation and valet service is horrible. Upon arrival there was no valet parking slots available so we had to park the car in an offsite a garage a few blocks down across of the Waikīki sunset. The young valet kid didn’t tell us that when we got there. He saw us pull up (we were the only car) watched us unload our own bags with a sleeping toddler and said nothing about their garage being full or where to go park until we walked up to him at his valet stand and asked him what we should do with our car. An older gentleman later showed up, saw that we needed help with our luggage and brought us a luggage cart then helped us up to our room. He was great! Really nice guy. We were assigned an ADA room and the soap holder still had a bloody band aid on it from the last guest so we had to have someone come disinfect the entire shower. Elevator was ridiculously slow, we ended up using the stairs 95% of the time and we were on the 6th floor. Breakfast was just okay but really busy. The only good service we had was at check in with the front desk gal and the older valet gentleman that helped us to the room. They are what kept this from being a 1 star review. The refillable water bottles upon check in were nice to have too. Thankfully I used my Hyatt employee rate so I can’t be too mad about it this time but even with a discounted rate in the future I wouldn’t ever stay here again!
Considering the price, it's a great option. Location was just a short walk to the beach. Breakfast was rather limited compared to other hotels that offer breakfast, but it was good enough, and helped avoid the hassle of trying to find breakfast before going out to enjoy the day. Sometimes they offered packaged breakfast sandwiches. I wish they offered this as one of the options daily - it's really helpful for people that need to get a quick breakfast before taking off on an adventure. Coffee was hot and constantly refilled. I never saw any of the breakfast offerings (drinks, food, etc) go empty.
Breakfast tip - get there as soon as it opens (6:30) to avoid the long wait for the elevator. Make sure you are ready to go for the day, and don't try to get back to your room until after the breakfast rush.
Enough about food - let's talk about the room. We asked for (and received) adjoining rooms. What this got us was basically a front door to the hallway, a mini entry way, and then our two rooms splitting off from that entry way. Made it so we could prop both room doors open so we could pass between them and still have the outer door secure. Great option.
One room was bigger than the other, but they had the same features. Basic, clean and spacious. My complaints would be that water pressure could have been higher, and windows were a bit thin and allowed a lot of street noise in. 8th floor room.
A less known feature is that they have beach goodies to borrow. We borrowed boogie boards and beach chairs. They said they also have sand toys.
Valet parking was a problem on the first day as it was already full. They told me to come back after checkout (11AM) so that I could secure a spot. Once your car has a valet spot, it's yours the entire stay. Once I had valet, they were great. They got me my car every morning within a few minutes.
One more food thing - there is a Dominos pizza down stairs. It's twice the price of mainland, but probably still cheaper than most other Waikiki food options. Great option when the whole crew is tired.
