Prince Waikiki

8/10 Good

"Good place to stay"

Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk

8/10 Good

"Only thing I would change would be more flexible check out times. I completely understand that they have to get rooms clean and ready for new guests, but I’ve been to lots of other hotels in touristy destinations before where check out times became flexible on account of flight times. Hawaii is for sure a destination vacation where the tourist are at the will of the airlines. They DID, however, lock up our luggage and offer a hospitality room (regular hotel room) for 30 mins. But they cut the ac off in the room and just had a fan going. We only stayed for 10 minutes because we were all sweating so bad. I appreciated the room, it was just too hot to stay in. After, we just hung out and slept on the lobby furniture. One thing that was weird was we were about ready to call our uber (5 hrs before our flight because we were worried to do much more in town in fear of not making it back in time to leave for the airport) and a hotel staff came up to me and told me we were going to get stopped with my kids in an uber unless we took this taxi that was waiting by the hotel lobby. I told him we had been Ubering everywhere. He told us cops won’t stop a Chrysler mini van, but they would stop a Honda odyssey that we had been ubering in. It was just a weird confrontation. Like we were being pressured. He may have been right, but it felt weird. Other than those two things, our stay was excellent!"

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Honolulu

Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Honolulu is during May, October, and November, when hotel rates are typically lower. To fully immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of the city, a stay of at least 4 to 5 days is recommended. This duration allows for exploration of significant landmarks and cultural sites such as Chinatown, the beautiful beaches, the vibrant sea, the surrounding islands, and various shopping opportunities. Visitors can also partake in tours of the port, experience surfing, and appreciate the tropical scenery and historical monuments, all of which provide great value for money. By planning your trip during these months, you could benefit from lower prices while enjoying a budget-friendly escape.
Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Honolulu, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on accommodation as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you won't miss out on potential savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool within the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make an informed choice. This way, if rooms become available or prices drop, you're more likely to see the best options for your last-minute getaway.
Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a hotel in Honolulu. For those seeking distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and may offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we will suggest more economical dates to enhance your chances of securing a better deal.
Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Honolulu's superb public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further afield that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
