Mountain View Hotels in Honolulu

A little distance from Waikiki Beach, the quiet of the hotel, the hotel's own beach is relatively small. You can see the Diamond Head Mountain, some sea views, and the scenery is not bad. The bed was too soft and it was not very comfortable to sleep. The environment in the room is general, the law is quite satisfactory.

The hotel is a little over a 10-minute walk from the beach, which is pretty convenient overall. They provide kettles, just like all hotels in Hawaii do, so you can refill your water multiple times, which is really handy. The hotel's location is great for getting around, and it's perfect for shopping. There's a convenience store right downstairs too. All in all, I had a good experience.

Great location, just a few minutes from Waikiki Beach. We booked an ocean view room, which was beautiful, and the view wasn't obstructed by the parking lot. The balcony was lovely, very relaxing to sit there, eat, and enjoy the ocean view. The best part was that even though I'm not a member, they gave me my room at 12 PM, which was incredibly thoughtful. The Asian cleaning lady was exceptionally kind and enthusiastic every time she saw us. We didn't leave a big tip, but she still thanked us repeatedly and even offered us coffee. Beach towels can be picked up and returned by scanning your room card. Breakfast is served in the restaurant on the first floor, opening at 6 AM.

For our recent trip to Hawaii, we chose the Poolside Suite at Wayfinder Waikiki — and it was such a great choice. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated in a tropical, laid-back style, and had direct access to the pool right from the terrace. It honestly felt like our own private villa! The pool area is small but super stylish and peaceful — perfect for relaxing with a morning coffee. ☕️ The staff were all incredibly friendly, and the whole vibe of the hotel felt very local and welcoming. One thing to note: it’s a little bit of a walk from the main strip of Waikiki, but that also means it’s quieter and more relaxing. If you’re looking to enjoy both the beach and a cool hotel experience, this is a great place to stay!

Strategically located with popular eateries down the corner, further up and you will hit hyatt and the beach. We had the tunnel view of the beach at the corridor too. The recept is polite and detailed, providing necessities such as toiletries upon request. There's complimentary breakfast too and the spread is decent and awesome - only shortcoming is the hard boiled eggs and strawberry tasting tad sour-ish. There's complimentary necessities to the beach too. The valet is great - polite and efficient. All good.

We stayed for 2 nights with our two young children. The room was spacious, and the beds were comfortable with good cushioning, making for a pleasant stay. While it's a bit far from Waikiki, we didn't feel the distance because walking there while enjoying the Hawaiian breeze made the time fly by. The bus stop is also close by, so using TheBus is convenient if you have a lot of luggage. There's a small supermarket nearby as well, so getting late-night snacks was no problem. The acai bowl at the cafe on the first floor of the hotel was delicious. And the coffee cups are huge! The staff there are cheerful and kind, and the American vibe of the cafe is great. I highly recommend this cafe for breakfast. Although it doesn't have a resort feel, I think it's a hotel where you can fully enjoy Hawaii on a budget.

The view is beautiful; the higher floors offer ocean views and allow you to open the windows, but you can't see the sunrise. Across the street is the Alamoana Center, which has a food plant and delicious local poke. You can use your daily tax payment at the Sera restaurant downstairs, so it's a good thing. The rooms are far superior to the Hilton, but they lack the resort atmosphere. However, there's always a very strong smell when you enter, but thankfully you can sleep with the windows open. There's no parking, but there's free parking across the street, about a 15-minute walk. In Hawaii, you're practically helpless without a car. Getting to Wakii Beach without a car is a real struggle. The hotel provides a free shuttle, but you'll have to walk back. Nighttimes in the US aren't safe, even in Hawaii. So, choosing this hotel basically means missing out on sunsets and nighttime beach views unless you're really brave.

Everything was great except for the really weak water pressure in the shower. The mountain view was amazing, and I spent a good amount of time chilling on the balcony with a coffee. The room was also very spacious and had a kitchen. The location was excellent, close to the beach and a supermarket.

With the weak yen, high prices, and tipping, eating out can be extremely expensive, but you can buy prepared foods and alcohol at the supermarket just a short walk away and relax in this location. I brought pasta and bread from home, so I only ate out once in five days. I wish check-in was a little smoother.

It was a room with a view of the diamond head and the sea. I was a little worried about the height because I wanted a clear view of the sea, but I was satisfied with the Lanai overlooking the two without any problems. It is old as a whole, the bathtub is old, and it takes time to get hot water.
