Fabulous and affordable stay in Waikiki

Reviewed Mar 14, 2024
We stayed here a week and loved it! One of our favorite hotels ever. The room was beautifully decorated and well-equipped. Its a little small but the furniture was well-sized to fit. We used the lanai for our meals and loved the birds outside. Housekeeping was exceptional, with daily service (which is rare post-covid) and excellent. Beautiful pool (though too cold for wimpy me) and hot tub, with a poolside bar and snacks. They even had free iced tea, free welcome drinks, and brought cool towels around in the afternoon. They have beach chairs and towels for guest use (altho the chairs tend to go fast). Fabulously friendly service and workers who seem to enjoy their jobs. The hotel is right on the canal, giving lovely views of the mountains, and a pleasant 10 minute walk to the beach. Its very close to the excellent Waikiki market which has all sorts of delicious prepared foods for inexpensive meals on the lanai. The only downside - which was minor in light of all the positives - was the street noise at night. For some reason this corner attracted people with loud cars, motorcycles, and music! No resort fee made this an excellent value for the money, especially relative to other Waikiki hotel prices.

Cutest little place in Waikiki, and was tucked just a 5 minute's walk off the main strip and beach. Beautiful hotel, and the staff let me store my bags and use the pool while I waited for my room to be ready. 2 free drinks upon arrival, and a great coffee shop in the lobby. Would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay at the Wayfinder Waikiki. Staff were super pleasant and hospitable. Location is great - 3 blocks away from the beach and many dining options. There are beach chairs, boogie boards, go pros and mobile chargers available to borrow daily. Beds are comfy. We were on the top floor and had a great view though heard the sirens nightly from the local fire dept. NOTE: there is no complimentary coffee nor coffee pots in the rooms, though they do provide electric kettles upon request.

My family and I were really looking forward to our stay at The Wayfinder Waikiki as it is a new hotel but our expectations were not met. We decided to book the Pool House Studio for 6 nights as I was traveling with my husband and two kids. As soon as we pulled up to the hotel things seemed a bit off but we checked in and hoped for the best. The location of the hotel is a few blocks away from Waikiki beach which we knew when booking but the area itself seemed very sketchy and unsafe. We are from NYC so for us to feel that way initially that was very telling. The room matched the images online and so did the other areas of the hotel. The atmosphere around the hotel is what you can't see from the images online. The pool area is not private and right next to some sort of apartment complex and the hotel is surrounded by other private apartment residences. Like another review said their was noise all night long coming from around the hotel. Our room was also missing serveral items that we needed to request such as towels, sheets for the pullout bed and toiletries. These items were delivered quickly but for a new arrival the room should be stocked. We were very unhappy and we decided that we weren't going to be able to stay at this hotel like we planned. I went to the front desk and checked with the staff that I wouldn't face any penalties for checking out earlier than planned and she assured me that I would not and would only pay for the night we stayed. From there I began looking for another hotel which wasn't easy as this was during the time of the Maui fires so many people were being relocated to other islands and many hotels were at full capacity. This was not what we planned but we also wanted to enjoy our vacation and this was not going to happen at Wayfinder. I was able to find another hotel which we ended up being extremely happy with.

Upon checking out the next morning from Wayfinder I was told that I would be emailed my final bill. This was back in August and now 6 months later I have never recieved anything from Wayfinder. I was charged for the initial 6 night stay instead of the 1 night that we stayed. I have tried to contact Wayfinder via email but was never contacted back regarding this issue. I am very disappointed by this unprofessionalism and hope that my situation can be rectified soon.

We have shared your feedback with our leadership team so that we can resolve and improve each of those areas with regards to guest experience. Someone from our management team would appreciate the opportunity to connect with you directly. If you could please contact us at the hotel at your earliest convenience.
