Ilikai Hotel & Suites

Rich with history. If you need anything just ask. I would stay there again. I would suggest frineds to stay there

The Iliki location is perfect with so many restaurants and shops within a short walking distance and a few steps to the beach. Staff were friendly and more than helpful when a family emergency arose. Our room was spacious with a beautiful view of the ocean. Would love to stay at the Iliki again.

We stayed at the Ilikai the night before and after our inter island cruise. It is at a great location in Waikiki. The outside is a little dated, but the inside is beautiful. The room was great and the service couldn't have been better. Wonderful views and the Serento restaurant at the top is a great place to hang out and view the city.

Rooms are basic and clean. Whatever you need, just ask. Standing shower for basic rooms No tubs if that's a make or break for all you vacationers. Very close to the mall which is the only mall in Oahu if needed. Try to get an ocean view room if it's in your budget. Mountains view is pretty much a view of the street though we were on the 25th floor (highest floor) we could see more

I fly/travel constantly for my company and have for decades. Here is my 2012 review of Ilikai Hotel in Oahu/Honolulu: I read previous reviews and made sure that I did NOT park at Ilikai or use their beach towls. At the end of our 10 day HIPAA EDI conference, I was told that I had NO extra charges and no Internet charges - NO surprises. The room: I was on the 25th floor and it was spacious and not worn out (other reviewers claimed it was worn). Perhaps I got lucky (?). I'm just reporting what I saw. Hotel has washer/dryer facilities and a resturant and business center. The hotel was in walking distance to the Ala Moana mall and the healthcare businesses just past the mall; it was a 20 minute walk to Waikiki. If the Remora Bay Co. hosts more paper to EDI conferences, I would recommend this hotel again as a cost effective solution.

The room was very spacious our lanai opening was about 8 ft across and we left it open 24/7. We faced the marina so enjoyed the sunset every night from our room on the 24th floor never needed the a/c on temperatures were perfect. The restaurant was under construction but I think they still served lunch and dinner on the patio. There was a fridge and microwave in the room so we did breakfast in the room and elsewhere when we were out. There is a man giving dollar coupons to a pub for breakfast and he stands right outside macdonalds across the street, for $6 you get a full breakfast at harbor pub right in front of the marina. Good value for Waikiki There is subway as well right across the street as well as walking distance to the mall and the food court(most of the food is Asian. But there are a few American type food places) Downtown Waikiki has a Chilis and Cheesecake Factory. The hotel is located at the beginning of Waikiki beach so it's a little quieter and not crowded which was perfect. There was a ramp walkway to the beach which took you right out in front of the lagoon. The beach and water was a little rocky right there but just walk past the Atlantis dock and the water is a little better. If you look to the west of the hotel you will see a park and another smaller swimming area on the other side of the marina. The water is very calm because it's protected from the open water and its not really rocky and would be perfect for families with small children. The people staying right in Waikiki beach wouldn't even know this place exists. Waikiki is about a ten minute walk or you can take trolley for $2.50. But honestly traffic is so busy you could probably outwalk transportation. Also there's a shortcut to the Waikiki shopping strip if you just walk to the Hilton Hawaiian village and cut through that park across the street you are right at the beginning of the strip. The grounds at the hotel are beautiful. They are soon going to be making some changes around the pool and patio and opening it up more so there's a better view of the ocean. The pool is heated and fine for just doing some laps. Small children will need floatation devices as it is a standard type pool with a shallow and deep end. Lounge chairs are very nice. Get them early as it is quite a popular spot. This is such an iconic hotel due to being featured in the original Hawaii 5-0 series. I will definitely stay here the next time I go to Hawaii the upgrade to oceanview was well worth the extra $20/night

Staff was good, lobby very nice, Can't beat the location! walk off the ramp from the deck and you are at the beginning of Waikiki Beach! Also like the street view of Alo Moana Blvd.

Our wonderful visit to Hawaii centered on the Ilikai hotel. Technically, the Ilikai isn't actually on Waikiki; it's on the waterfront of the small boat harbor. [That's a "good thing" because you have all the amenities of the other hotels but you have more privacy.] The hotel dates back to 1963. That might seem to be a fault, but the hotel went through a massive restoration just two years ago. The result is a modern hotel with 60s-era sized rooms - perhaps 3 times the size of the newest hotels - providing living space without feeling like you're in a Motel 6. Try it. You'll LOVE it!

We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed sitting on the patio and viewing the sunset. My husband enjoyed walking on the beachwalk without having to walk blocks to get to it. The bus stop being just steps away from the hotel was a wonderful thing. We enjoyed the whole experience.

Overall I like the hotel and especially the location because the beach is just across the street ... the room is comfortable and really clean however the need to start to renew the rooms and especially the bathroom ... For those who is planning to rent a car they can park their car just behind the hotel and it is way cheaper the hotel parking ...
