I've stayed at the Gateway a few times now and from the first visit it's been great. If you're looking for 5 Star luxury this isn't your hotel. What I can tell you is my room has been just as nice as some of the big named hotels I've stayed in while in Waikiki at half the price. It's a... More

After doing several searches we opted for the Gateway, first off the photo of the room on the webpage is of the penthouse, the regular rooms are nothing like that. It was clean and functional but outdated in terms of furnishings, carpeting and decor. The pool was a waste of time about 6' wide and crowded if more that two... More

We arrived at the Hotel to find a large amount of foreign tourists in the lobby checking in. They were very rude and pushy and it took 30 minutes for the front desk to help us. Finally, we got the room, went to it, and found only three twin beds for our four people! Went down to get it fixed... More

After spending a few days in the North Shore, we wanted a more budget-friendly hotel in Waikiki. My fiance and I are glad we found this place. Parts of it are a bit dingy, but you get what you pay for. The breakfast "buffet" was really a sore point of this hotel, and after having it once, we went out... More

Requiring somewhere to stay for one night in Waikiki, the Gateway came back as one of the most reasonable options (cost wise). The rooms were functional, and comfortable - nothing amazing. It suited me well for one night before heading to the north shore. The bed was comfortable, and the room had a balcony without a view. Unfortunately check in... More

This was the third stay at Gateway, was the best one. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room had two lanais, we will want to have that every time. Location of the Gateway is very good, close to beach, stores, restaurants, and still an element of "privacy" since it is on the far end (beginning) of Kalakaua Avenue. Will... More
