Waikiki Central Hotel, Honolulu HI

Location, location, location, very friendly staff, this is not the Hilton. Rooms are comfortable, clean and ac. Restrictions near by. ABC store next door.

Stayed here for 8 nights. A great place to stay which is also very budget friendly. Only a block away from Waikiki beach and the shopping district. All the staff were very nice and the room is spacious and clean. I got a king sz room and the bed was pretty soft! Also a plus that they let you borrow beach towels, chairs and boards. Wifi was great also and had no problem with it. Definitely the best cheapest option to stay in Hawaii.

We have stayed here a couple of times. It is central to all activities and we love The Bus. Looking forward to our next stay. The staff are friendly and helpful.

The room size was good and the kitchenette was a nice touch. I didn't have a problem with noise but I was on the 4th floor. I have stayed in small independent hotels in the area before. Most have excellent service, this was not one of them. They say they are open 8 to 8. There isn't anyone there at 8 I have seen groups of people waiting as late at 830 with still no one there. They hang the sign that I posted a photo of and can be gone for an hour or so. They have no room service so you think you can run down at 10am for towels, coffee or toilet paper but there is that sign and no one in sight. I know for sure they were gone an hour at least once. This sign appears many, many times throughout the day and you never know when they are coming back. I once walked the entire property on all the floors and went in the rooms where the doors were open and never found anyone. The location was good.

This place is a hidden gem! Clean, cosy rooms. Literally 2 blocks from the beach. Unlimited eating and shopping options within blocks. The staff is awesome and super friendly. You can’t beat for the price! The rooms even have nice balconies. Seriously, you won’t regret it.

Great place to stay. Room has a nice bathroom, kitchenette with plates, and a balcony with seating. Also the ac works very well. It is super close to all the local shops, and a nice portion of beach. The staff are extremely kind, helpful, and respectful. For the price I see nothing negative I can say. You can also smoke on the balcony which has 2 chairs and a table.

Overall I would say this might be a hidden gem of Waikiki.

Excellent budget accommodation in the heart of Waikiki. Clean comfortable rooms with all the facilities you could need.

Reese, the hotel manager is exceptional. I was sick during my stay and he made sure we could stay in our room until I'd recovered and he even made sure we got to the airport after our shuttle bus failed to show up.

If we ever go back to Hawaii this is where we'll stay - Thanks Reese.

1. Very comfortable room with big bathroom and great amenities.
2. Central location 5 minute walk to the beach.
3. Free gear to take to the beach. Umbrellas, chairs, towels.
4. Very affordable and friendly service.
5. Highly recommended. Thanks Will.

This is a gem of a hotel. Location is perfect - Waikiki beach is 5 minutes away on foot and everything else (restaurants, shops, etc) is within close proximity. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable. They even provide beach towels, umbrellas, etc free of charge so that was one less thing to worry about.

Best of all, the staff especially Reese and William are amazing. We arrived quite late and the front desk had already closed, but Reese waited for us to make sure we were good. They were very friendly and we felt at ease asking them for recommendations. In fact, they were so friendly that we would just come to the front desk to have a chat and learn more about Hawaii and its culture.

Overall, we would gladly stay at Waikiki Central Hotel again when we return to Hawaii, and can confidently recommend this place to anyone as long as you're not expecting something luxurious. Definitely bang for your buck!

Excellent staff (S/o to Reese), room was nice & clean.great location near beach! My only complaint would be I couldn't park my rental at the hotel during my entire recent stay & had to park elsewhere & walk back to the hotel to see my original parking space empty every night (lol) but overall my stay was great!

A lovely small Inn. Service is excellent with some fantastic counter staff. It's warm and welcoming.

Rooms them selves are simple but offer everything you need, from microwaves to coffee.

Only downside, is while most rooms are pretty sound proof, some noise does get in from around the door.

Wow I feel like we lucked out on this place and would absolutely book again. Place was newly renovated and super clean. Front desk is always friendly and helpful. And what a prime location to the beach! Place was secure, convenient, and well kept. Minimal noise from the street (minus the garbage trucks that seemed to come most mornings)

Very clean room, great location, wifi worked great all round a great place. Staff were very accomodating a shout out to Will who went out of his was to help me with all my travel documentation I needed printed, your a legend!

Great Hotel in a perfect location with fair prices and very friendly and caring staff. Loved it. Good equipment although the wifi was a mess. Pretty annoying for overseas tourists.

Clean but it's a VERY loud area. People screaming as well as unusually loud cars sitting and revving their engines until at least midnight. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms are cute and for 1 night it worked but I wouldn't stay more than that.
