Do not book here. If you do book check your statement upon checkout. They charged me for parking my car when I never even arrived with a vehicle. Upon checkout they said they would remove the charge but I waited almost a month and the charge remained for $49. Luckily my credit card company agreed with me on my dispute.

The retro interiors were cute and our view of the canal was lovely. Bed was comfy and although there was no kettle or iron in the room, it was brought up on request. Location was great. We were able to walk to all the main attractions in Waikiki. The pool area looks like a renovated motel with a cool vibe. There's a poolside bar and we had live music on one of the nights we were there. The 24hr gym room was clean and handy. Staff were always helpful. My only negative is the floor of our room could've been cleaned better.

We could not have been more pleased with our choice of hotel! The Wayfinder Waikiki is amazing. The property is gorgeous and well-kept, especially the pool area. We were welcomed by a fantastic valet, who insisted on carrying all of our luggage up the 3 flights of stairs to our room. The aloha kept coming with tokens for free drinks at the pool bar and a pile of complimentary snacks in our room, including wine, juices, bottled water, popcorn and chocolate. We were in a room with 2 Queen beds in the Pool House, which was very spacious for our two teenagers and ourselves. There is no elevator in the Pool House, so just be aware that you’ll be using the outdoor stairs. The room was charmingly decorated, and even had a record player and selection of albums. My daughter loved this. The AC worked well, and the beds were comfy enough. The location is great. It’s tucked away near the canal in a quiet area, but still a less than 10 minute walk to the beach. There are also tons of restaurants and shops in easy walking distance, and don’t miss the hotel restaurant Redfish, which is quite good. We also loved that the front desk provides free beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs, and GoPro cameras for guest use! We definitely took advantage of those. Thank you SO much to the staff for a wonderful stay. We will be back!
Free pina colada by the pool!

Thank you for accommodating us on the 9th floor. We enjoyed our stay but not without a few disappointments. The biggest disappointment (not caused by the hotel) was the fact that HPD police & Fire / Ambulance sirens were extremely loud and went by the hotel frequently at all hours of the night and day. It seemed “non-stop” and VERY inconvenient for getting a good nights rest. My other disappointment this past visit was that the valet parking price of $50 a day is way, way too expensive. A parking citation received on the public streets was only $35. Not recommending the parking citation, just using the price as an example. Happy to see that Waikiki city’s homelessness issues are less visible on the beach walkways & side streets. As always, even with the disappointments, the Wayfinder Hotel was affordable, safe and comfortable. Front desk staff was absolutely amazing and very welcoming. Because of our late arrival, I thought their professionalism of getting me to my room expeditiously was greatly appreciated as well. Best,
Received a little extra ALOHA during our early morning walk…
