This hotel is amazing value for money if you are looking for a hotel in the heart of Waikiki. The staff were friendly and helpful. I appreciated the daily maid service. When you are traveling with kids who spend their days moving between the pool, the beach and snacks, a daily clean up is of value and not something that happens in a lot of hotels anymore.

The air-conditioning was a little noisy, and the fan squeaky. There is carparking available, but the spaces are quite tight. These are certainly not deal-breaker issues and we would happily stay again.

We loved everything about the whole establishment and the staff. We arrived at least 2 hours early and the room was already good to go. The staff was one of the nicest and caring staff I have seen and I'm in the hotel industry... The room was equipped with everything that you need and the grocery and convenient stores are one block up and the beach was also in walking distance.

The pleasant, friendly atmosphere. The staff was amazing, the room was spacious and the kitchenette was very clean and modern. The location was excellent, close to Kuhio restaurants, shopping and Waikiki Beach. We look forward to staying there again.

Nothing.

The rooms are stylish, spacious, and super comfortable. The location was perfect — just a ~3–5 min walk to the Waikiki Beach area. Parking is included, and there were plenty of spots available. One of the biggest pluses for me was having a kitchen in the room — so convenient! There’s also a balcony, and the view from our room was just stunning. I had specifically booked a mountain view — so stunning!!!

At first, we were given a room facing the buildings, even though I had booked (and paid for) a room with a mountain view. When I politely asked to switch rooms, the staff explained there were no more available (why?). We weren’t ready to give up — a couple of hours later we went back to the front desk and asked again, this time mentioning we would like to speak with a manager. In the end, they were able to help us without involving a manager. We paid an extra ~$100, since the new room had a bigger bed and moved. So my advice: don’t be afraid to kindly speak up if something’s not right — especially if you paid for it. I still highly recommend this hotel!!!

We loved everything about it. Excellent location, centralized in Waikīkī but also somewhat away from the really crazy part of Waikiki. Room was spacious, LOVED the kitchenette that included all the utensils and plates we needed to eat takeout or leftovers. Fridge was nice and big to hold cold drinks, AND an included water pitcher for cold water! Great touch! Bed was super comfy and nice, soft pillows. Room was clean, balcony view was great, free parking, and ALL the staff were so nice, kind, and hospitable.

Nothing negative to say about this hotel. We LOVE it here, it feels like home, and it has everything we want out of a hotel and more.

Free parking and close to everything.

The size of the Standard Studio with Kitchen room was decent, plus you have a fully functional kitchenette to help you save a little bit on breakfasts and other meals. While the hotel is dated, it was very clean and fully functional. Location is great too, very close to main streets and places to eat. Parking spaces are pretty tight, but parking is included in your rate which is unheard of on Waikiki. Unlimited towels are provided for your beach days.

This property is dated, and you can see evidence of this everywhere if you prefer to. Soundproofing is minimal, which is paired with a pretty busy road nearby. Jalousie-type windows are quite noisy as well.

We loved the fully equipped kitchen- we cooked most of our meals! Hard to find an affordable kitchen space like this- we will be back! The beautiful Waikiki beach was just a short walk away, through several interesting shopping areas. The staff were so friendly every time we saw them. Our balcony faced the ocean side and we had great city views. When we wanted, we could open the large sliding glass window to the balcony and enjoy the fresh air and birds on our balcony! When it was too warm, the air conditioning worked great. The room with a king bed and a full bed was spacious and had extra storage cupboards that were very helpful for our party of 3 - a mother-daughter week. Everything we needed was nearby.

I really enjoyed my stay at Ilima Hotel. The room was spacious, clean, and had a full kitchen, which was super convenient. I also had a nice view from the balcony, and the bed was very comfortable. The location is great — just a few blocks from Waikiki Beach, but in a quiet area. The staff were friendly and helpful, and parking was free, which is a big plus in Honolulu. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it’s charming, affordable, and has everything you need. I would definitely stay again.

We had a beautiful view of the canal & mountains from our balcony. The International Market was 2 blocks away and the Beach was only 5 blocks away. Our 2 bedroom suite was very spacious and comfortable.

There was limited parking. If you didn't get a space on site. You needed to park in the garage across the street. This was convenient but the cost was $35 per 24hr period.
