Ohana Waikiki Tower, Honolulu

Advantages: Location, price
Disadvantages: No internet in lobby

...I stayed at this hotel during my third trip to Hawaii in 2006. The big plus point to this hotel is the location combined with the value. The hotel is just a very short walk from Waikiki Beach, the shops, restaurants & the beachfront hotels. It has a central location which takes you right into the heart of Waikiki but being on Kuhio Avenue it has great access to The Bus for anyone wanting to explore the island. The hotel also has a recommended Thai restaurant (Keo's) on the ground floor which also does a breakfast menu. There are other options nearby. The hotel itself does not have a real breakfast area. The hotel facilities are good for people using it as base. It has an Outrigger Activities centre to help organise events, a small shop and helpful hotel staff. The condition of the hotel is good also. Our room was large enough... Read review

Advantages: Central location
Disadvantages: the lifts

...We booked to stay at the Ohana Waikiki West through our travel agent as part of our honeymoon package. I had checked out some hotels prior to booking but had not come across this one.

We arrived late at night and went straight to check in, where we found there had been a mistake with the booking and the room was booked only for my (new) husband. I was very disappointed but in fairness to the staff on reception they were most apologetic and sorted out another room for us, located on the first floor - the smoking floor. as nonsmokers we were...

Advantages: Close to the Waikiki Beach area, Great views from higher floors
Disadvantages: Standard size room a little small, parking quite expensive

...We stayed at the Ohana Maile Sky Court Hotel in Honolulu for 4 nights in September 2005 at the end of a three week holiday to the Hawaiian islands. The hotel has a large, airy reception area and lobby with plenty of comfortable seating. The staff were helpful, friendly and accomodating. We arrived about an hour before check-in time and they re-arranged the bookings so that we could have a room that was already available immediately. My 2-year old daughter was also very happy to be given a free beach ball by one of the check-in staff! Our room was on one of the highest floors and the view was spectacular - it felt as if you had just taken off in a plane! We could see the ocean and diamond head in the distance. The room itself - a standard size double was, however, a little on the small size, especially with a camp bed for our 2-year old... Read review
