Mountain View Hotels in Honolulu

Hygiene: Excellent. The entire place was very clean and tidy, with no trash or dust, and no unpleasant smells – everywhere smelled fresh. The gym was also clean. The only minor issue was the pool, which could get a bit noisy and messy due to the crowd. Ambiance: Fantastic. The rooms themselves were impeccable, all over 50 square meters, with mostly identical layouts, just differing in their specific location. They had everything you could ask for: a bathtub, shower, two sinks, two wardrobes, a dressing table, and a balcony with a view. A special mention for the bathtub – it filled up incredibly fast, less than five minutes, which is the quickest I've ever seen. The decor was very sophisticated, with high-quality materials that gave it a timeless feel, yet it was maintained beautifully, which was very impressive. Service: Excellent. The doormen were highly efficient at opening car doors and handling luggage. The check-in experience at the front desk was great; the staff's attitude was impeccable, they were very professional, didn't strictly adhere to every rule, and were very generous and welcoming. If a room was available, they arranged immediate check-in. Any requests were handled with high efficiency; for example, beach chairs were brought and set up quickly, and anything needed was brought to the room promptly. They even helped close the curtains, making us feel truly at home. Facilities: Outstanding. The decor is very distinctive and rich in character. It has all the amenities expected of a five-star hotel. As one of Hawaii's top three luxury hotel resorts, it boasts a quiet private beach and a golf course, plus its own dolphin lagoon where you can experience close interaction with dolphins. There are four restaurants, a well-equipped gym with fruit and lemon-coconut water, and well-appointed restrooms. There are also many century-old decorations and various shops, all selling co-branded hotel merchandise, which is quite rare and unique. Overall, this hotel is absolutely worth a special trip. All aspects were flawless. What truly stands out is its century-old heritage and expansive space, yet it shows no signs of age and is meticulously maintained. I personally love this feeling of historical charm. Highly recommended.

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.

Hotel location is good, the service staff is warm, the room is quiet and clean. The room size is relatively large. The disadvantage is that it takes a little time to go to 🉐 for the first time to find the front desk. You need to find a hand-held elevator to go down to the basement floor to check in. Because the whole building is for commercial and residential use, the obvious kitchen taste in the corridor. The decoration is relatively old, if you drive, 🉐 go down from the garage to the first floor, and then transfer to the elevator to the room The hotel is well located, and the staff are very friendly.The higher floors are relatively quiet and clean, and the rooms are quite spacious.The only drawback is that it took some time to find the front desk on the first visit.You need to take the escalator down to the first basement floor to check in.As the building is a mixed-use commercial and residential one, there is a distinct smell of cooking in the corridors.The decoration is rather old-fashioned.If you drive, you have to go down to the ground floor from the garage and then take the elevator to your room.

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!

Hands down, this hotel is all about location, convenience, and comfort. If you want to be right in the middle of all the Waikīkī buzz, this is it. You’re just minutes from Waikīkī Beach and within easy walking distance to International Market Place, Royal Hawaiian Center, countless restaurants, cafés, and convenience stores. Everything is so accessible that you can explore easily on foot. The rooms feel fresh and newly renovated, with a modern island-chic style. Clean, bright, and comfortable — not ultra-luxury, but definitely more than sufficient for a relaxing stay. Perfect if you want the essentials done well without paying for full resort-style extras. You’re surrounded by food options — poke, shave ice, smoothie spots, breakfast cafés, and nicer dinner restaurants. Convenience stores are just steps away, making it easy to grab essentials without needing transport. If you value prime location, walkability, renovated rooms, an outdoor pool, a gym, and solid value over ultra-luxe amenities, this hotel is a great choice.

The room was a bit dated, and the bed was quite high, but it had all the amenities. The view was absolutely amazing! Even though we weren't in the very front row, it didn't hinder our view of the ocean or Diamond Head at all. The front desk gave us a room on the second-highest floor. Parking at $35 a day was such a steal. It seems like this hotel is a designated hotel for Japanese tourists? All the signs were in Japanese, and there was even a cute Japanese shower instruction booklet!

I have stayed here twice now & the front desk women, bell hop & valet service young men are all incredibly nice. I honestly have never had front desk women be so kind & thoughtful. This stay I mentioned we had to leave before breakfast so she got a bag full of muffins & treats for us. They really have a great breakfast so I was sad to miss it but wow I have never have someone go above a beyond like that. They also gave us extra water. The bell hop was incredibly helpful also. This was the reason we came back, for the nice accommodations & great service!!!

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.
