The location was great. Everything was just a quick walk away. If you want to pay more, you can have a room with a nice view of the mountains. It's not the Sheraton or Hyatt Regency, but those properties are much more expensive. For the price, this is a great value for a single guy traveling alone.

Well, I didn't like that it wasn't the Sheraton or Hyatt Regency! lol However, those places are much more expensive so it is what it is. The pool is very small and that might be an issue for some, especially families with kids - but considering the largest ocean in the world was a 10 minute walk from the hotel, that did not bother me really. The gym is also very limited. I love to workout and found the gym to be inadequate. So, I just tried to get more physical activity outdoors which was probably a nice change from my usual gym routine.

The staff was very friendly; the room was clean, and I enjoyed the mountain and Lagoon view.

The wi-fi connection was not secure and my bank account was account. I cannot say for sure this is where it happened but, I would not look up any important information using your devices here. (only use the wi-fi here for directions, watching shows etc.)

Excellent location in central Waikiki, easy walking access to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. Front-desk staff and valet attendants were friendly and very helpful. The hotel was clean and well-maintained in general. The room included all basic amenities. There was a convenient water refill station on the ground floor as well as a coffee/tea station and free popcorn in the afternoon.

The room was a little small. The housekeeping services did not clean the room on one of the days during our stay. The pool area was on the ground floor and a little small.

Close to everything

Stuffy bathrooms

For a boutique hotel, it's not a bad place to stay at all. It's within walking distance of all the major malls, restaurants, and beaches downtown without the overwhelming noise and the hustle and bustle on Kalakaua and Kuhio avenues. The rooms were updated and super clean, and housekeeping was militant about servicing the room. The beds and pillows were clean and comfortable. Kudos to our Valet Robert, after the first day we checked in, he automatically knew who we were and brought our car over quickly, he always smiled and was super enthusiastic to lend a helping hand and/or provide directions or information. The view from our balcony of the Ala Wai Canal and Waimanalo Ridge was a perfect way to wake up. The coffee bar in the lobby was great, nothing fancy, just good. The fridge and microwave really helped especially when we would bring some leftovers from our lunch or dinner we could easily store them and reheat them as needed. The brand-new AC units were awesome, super quiet, and efficient, unlike the clunky/noisy AC units you find at some hotels.

Although it seems there have been significant improvements to the property, there is still room for improvement. Our balcony door didn't quite seal right so the traffic noise could be very loud and hard to sleep through, especially on weekend nights. When I brought it up to the staff they told me they were aware of it and that there were plans to replace them during the ongoing renovation. I know parking is an issue in that area but I thought the $40 daily parking fee was a bit over the top. the other area still in need of renovation was the bathroom/shower area, though some things were replaced/resurfaced, the work was subpar and sloppy and took away from the otherwise charming decor. The pool was the size of a large hot tub but adequate considering the limited space available.

Good location and value for money in not having to stay so close to Waikiki beach but can still enjoy the facilities near the beach. It's about 15 mins walk from the hotel to Sheraton Waikiki (if you find it too expensive to stay there). The bus-stop is only 5 mins walk from the hotel to go to the city and Diamond Head area. If you are looking for budget and good hotel, this one is not to be missed.

A bit noisy on some days from the traffic along the road adjacent to the hotel.

The water and coffee in the lobby is the best thing! Bring a refillable water bottle! Over all It was a great stay for the value. The employees were all so very friendly. I would stay here again for sure.

It does need a bit of a remodel but nothing to complain about really.

We had an unexpected free up-grade to a large room with two bathrooms. The staff were excellent - couldn't be more helpful. The hotel was close to transport and the beach. Endless free coffee and tea in the lobby plus a kitchenette in our room. We would definitely stay here again.

Maybe a tea towel in our room, as we had to use a hand towel for dishes - but that was only a minor inconvenience.

Convenient location. Nice being closer to the canal. Although the road along the canal can be noisy--it does not seem to be as bad as the main road along the beach.

OK - I know that the name of the hotel is Coconut Waikiki, but I have a strong aversion to coconut taste and smell. The amenities are all coconut scented. Because we have stayed at the Coconut before, I knew to bring my own soap, shampoo etc. It would be nice if they had a stash of alternatives but in real life, I know that is not something that I would expect--just wishful hoping as I know we will be returning to the Coconut in the future.

Although the hotel is a little nondescript from the outside, the mountain view room that I stayed in was fabulous. The furnishings were tasteful and colorful, the mattress quality was quite good, the balcony view just above the canal was scenic, and I appreciated the retro-style furniture and fixtures. The room was very well maintained and exceptionally clean, and the staff members were very helpful -- especially Linda at the reception desk, who helped me to secure an upgraded mountain-view room. This hotel also offered both a refrigerator and a microwave, so preparing snacks was easy and convenient.

The location of this hotel is several blocks from the beach, so I was happy that I had booked several nights at a hotel directly overlooking Waikiki upon arrival in Honolulu. But this location gave me the opportunity to learn about a slightly different neighborhood that parallels the scenic HNL hillsides and Kuhio Avenue. The street that parallels the canal is very noisy with traffic, so this is a limitation if you plan to walk along the canal -- but the room itself was quiet and insulated from much of the outside traffic noise.
