My boyfriend and I had a king size bed city view room that served its purpose. We were located on the 5th floor. The room is very dimly lit but cute. The theme is black and white. The bed and pillows were very comfy- no complaints we slept like babies! The bathroom is small but contains everything you will need:... More

Hotel Renew has a great location - just off Waikiki beach to enjoy it but without the noise! Rooms facing the ocean have a beautiful view of the topaz hued Pacific ocean. Stayed at Hotel Renew with my wife and 2 kids. Staff were super friendly and helpful and would be a credit to any 5 star hotel! Room was... More

hotel renew is not like all the big hotels in Waikiki, and that was a plus for us. it's well designed rooms, some of them with a view on the beach, a helpful staff, and a central location in waikiki to go to the beach or walk to diamond head crater... it has no real breakfast to speak of, and...

Good location both for the beach, and for shopping and restaurants. We were not so lucky with the room 302, which had no view, no balcony and was quiet dark. However the room was ok spacious and modern. The staff at the hotel was the best I have ever met. Very helpful and friendly. They gave us an early check... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and for a "boutique" hotel, I'd have to say, just keep searching for a different one to stay in Honolulu. Between the $25/day parking charge, mediocre breakfast (pastries are better at Safeway!), cramped room they put us in and NOISE from the garbage truck at 6am, you shouldn't pay $200 a night! Having arrived... More

My fiance and I stayed here while we were on the island of Oahu for a week (for our wedding at Waimanalo Beach). The location, close to Diamond Head, is on a quieter and less crowded side of the Waikiki strip which was GREAT. But, of course, we were still close to all the great restaurants and shops the area...

I found this place from recommendations of other admission counselors traveling to Hawaii for work trips. This little place is such a great find! Overall, there are positives and some drawbacks, but overall I will always choose this place to stay over others the in Waikiki area... Positives: Bed, pillow and comforter are all so soft and comforting - I... More

There are many good things about this hotel. Location is good. Rooms are clean and well furnished. Staff is excellent. But, there are some things that could be better. The breakfast was sparse and the seating area for the breakfast was far too small. Your room could have a really poor view - guys sitting out in front of their... More

I loved this little boutique hotel nestled just within a block of the southern side of Waikiki. The hotel staff were delightful, friendly and just over and above in all respects. The ocean view room was beautiful, and we loved the convenience of the free breakfast. The pastries were nice and the coffee was always perfect. I can't imagine why... More
