Prince Waikiki ★★★★

"Arrived a little past 12 PM and was checked in promptly. The room features floor-to-ceiling windows with a great view, and it's much quieter than those hotels in the center of Waikiki. It's also not a far walk to Ala Moana."

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort ★★★★★

"First off, the location is excellent for public transport, and there are plenty of dining and shopping options nearby, all within walking distance. As for service, the front desk was a bit mediocre, but the staff member who helped us with activities was fantastic, and customer service was also good. Our room was cleaned thoroughly every day. Overall, I'm quite satisfied, it's just a little pricey."
