Loved our stay at the Queen Kapiolani Hotel. The staff was outstanding, common areas well curated, and the location is unparalleled. Our view from the 16th floor was awe inspiring. The “Deck” was amazing as well.
My boyfriend and I booked this hotel after deciding to extend our Oahu vacation for a few days and not wanting to stay in the Sheraton. We are so glad that we did! Check in was smooth, and the guy who checked us in was very friendly and knowledgeable about finding our QR code, and explaining everything about the hotel and its amenities. One thing that impressed me right away that was different from the Sheraton was access to drinking water. He said all we have to do is come to the front and they will give us free bottled waters. The room that we stayed in was huge, and had a beautiful deck with clear partial ocean view as well as a view of the zoo and pool down below. The room was extremely clean, and even had a kitchenette, such an upgrade from the Sheraton in my opinion in terms of the room and amenities. They offered nice toiletries, and daily cleaning service was never a hassle, all we had to do was request it in the mornings when we left. The location of the hotel was easily walkable to the Waikiki strip, and literally a block away from the ocean. Very accessible! All in all our stay was wonderful, and I really appreciate the extra mile the staff went to to ensure that we had a wonderful vacation during covid. I highly recommend this hotel!…
It is wonderful to stay in property that is truly dog friendly. The proximity across the street from queen Kapi’olani Park makes this just a wonderful location for dogs and their people to stay. This hotel provides a very relaxed environment and is a quick walk to Waikiki.
We love casual charm and glamping, so we prefer nature to crowds and a bit of room to close quarters. That’s why the Queen Kapi’olani was perfect for us. Five years ago we toured Oahu, but we skipped Honolulu and Waikiki. This time we wanted to spend an entire week on Waikiki — but where to go to feel a sense of space? The QK has been the ideal venue. The location is delightful: across the street from the lush Honolulu Zoo where we listen to bird, gibbon and elephant calls throughout the day, as well as being the closest hotel to our favorite beach hang-out: the Barefoot Beach Cafe; the QK’s decor is fun and fresh, not ornate or fancy; the restaurant offers delicious food; and — of course — we’re just steps away (a block) from the beach promenade and our choice of rugged surf on one side of a pedestrian pier or sheltered lagoon on the other. The staff are warm and welcoming. Our door started closing too hard (literally had to bang it shut) and the maintenance crew was there within an hour to fix it. Gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of small things that are easy to fix: the rooms are nicely refreshed, but they do need a little work to earn 5 stars. For example: the tile in our bathroom is chipped in front of the vanity. A little acrylic paint mixed to the right color would make it disappear. Our tub is small (that’s okay), but it underwent a sloppy fiberglass repair. It needs to be fixed again by a skilled fiberglass repairman. The popcorn ceilings and salt-water stained windows are a minor annoyance — and expensive to fix. These things really don’t matter. It is a charming hotel at a great price. If you can get it, request room 1802 or something like it. The king room is spacious and the unobstructed Diamond Head is stunning. It is a corner room — so you see it all. Aloha!!…
Loved it! Everyone was nice and answered our questions. Pool area was clean and they enforce the distancing protocol to ensure safety for everyone, food and drinks from the bar were on point definitely going back
