The hotel is ok, pretty basic, 70's or 80's layout and style but clean and nice. Great customer service with very friendly and attentive staff. Also, the location is awesome, it's basically right downtown. I purchased my stay on Hotwire.com and thought the price was great UNTIL I checked in and realized they're charging $20 per DAY! for me to... More

Not a luxury hotel and quite basic but our room was large and clean. Our balcony had a great view right through to the beach so that was a bonus. Large bathroom and plenty of closet space. 2 queen beds and very comfy. Cleaned every day and was always spotless. Had the added benefit of a fridge/freezer with cupboard, sink... More

Hotel could use some updating but hotel is kept very clean and is walking distance to Waikiki's main strip. Staff is very nice and helpful. Our room had a full kitchen which came in handy. Hotel is Close to shopping and restaurants.

We stayed three days in the hotel. The staff is nice and helpful. The facility is clean. But... No WiFi in the rooms, only internet via cable. WiFi is only available in the lobby. Starting at 6 am you hear the noise from the street. It seems that every truck is driving by backwards as you hear all the morning... More

I was happy with the hotel. The room was very big and bright. We were in the 10th floor, so we had a nice view. The staff was nice. We did not really interact that much. You don't really stay in the hotel while on Hawaii. The room was always clean. No smells of any kind. Everything worked well. We... More

The room was fine except the shower was to small and the bed was hard. No microwave. I would stay there again because of the location, price and the staff.The trip planer was great and helpful. Housekeeping was fast. Everyone is very friendly

I booked one night at the Ambassador Hotel in the mistaken belief that it was close to where I needed to be the next day for a meeting, and because it had a very low rate for Waikiki. Given that I had very low expectations, I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious and clean, though the decor is certainly... More

I knew exactly where this hotel was because I had stayed across the street on a previous visit. Staff was great. Pool area nice to relax. Walking distance to shops, beach, Hard Rock Cafe and near to hotel that picks you up for luas and other tours. My only complaint was the bug problem that I had (which they tended... More

We were arriving late and needed a room for one night and weren't looking to spend a lot. All we could get is a room with three singles to start our honeymoon. At least everything worked and we had a good sleep. The room was dingy though and had tone all a long way on an outside spooky corridor. For... More

My only criteria for a hotel were that I could easily access other places, I had a place to sleep, and that it was clean and the Ambassador Hotel met all of these criteria. It was just a short walk to the beach and there were several restaurants around the area so after a long day out on the island... More
