Bed was very hard. Could be given more info about the hotel itself at check-in.

Facility is very clean. Rooms are updated. Good view if the water. Right next to the HHV and able to use the Lagoon there.

We had a great time. From check-in to check-out, the staff was so welcoming. The facility was very clean. The rooms were very spacious with a full kitchen. And the cost was very affordable. I would highly recommend staying at Ilikai.

The bathroom was a tad small. Especially the shower. It barely fit me.

The room was clean and spacious. The atmosphere was elegant and fancy.

A little dated

Loved the location, balcony over looking the marina and ocean.

Pools close too early 6 pm 2nd floor, 7:30 pm lobby most hotels stay open until 10 pm and no hot tub, not enough shade umbrellas. This is a high-end priced property, needs a little bit updating/modernizing for the price.

Easily walkable convenient location. Large room and lanai. Seating options in courtyard to view marina, sunset, free hula and fireworks Fridays. Free daily waters and ice cream is a nice perk!

The Pool definitely needs upgrades. Water itself felt dirty and looked dirty

The pool closed at 7:30 pm.

The view, the location, the kitchen, the spaciousness of the room. The room was exactly as the pictures showed when booking. The location being a short walk from Waikīkī meant that the resort fee was less, too.

The amenities -- soap, shampoo, etc -- felt cheap and didnʻt lather much. The rattan chairs on the lanai were uncomfortable and difficult to sit in because of the way they were shaped. The television remote was so old, the words on the buttons were worn away. When I was a kid, the Ilikai was considered such a glamorous, high end hotel. Time has changed the Ilikai. The building and lobby seem run down and dated, as is the elevator. The escalator at the porte-cochère was broken. I walked up with a crutch and my knee wrapped, and no one suggested I use a side porter elevator. In fact, another customer pointed out the elevator after I walked up the two flights of stairs to get to the lobby.

I was having my home tented for termites, and I had just injured my knee. I decided to stay in a hotel for two nights, but I didnʻt have enough advance time to shop around. The Ilikai luxury suites offer popped up, and the price for the studio (with kitchenette, ocean view, and king size bed) was the same as a few of the smaller 300 square foot sized hotel rooms in Waikiki. I loved the spaciousness of the studio and the view of Kahanamoku Beach. Since I had an injured knee, I stayed in the room all day to work, and I was very comfortable. Everything about the studio from the decor to the lighting over the kitchen counter was tasteful and modern. The place was really quiet too; I felt like I was the only person on the floor. The room was clean. The bed was firm, yet very comfortable. I slept well. The maid who cleaned the room was very pleasant and cleaned the room quickly and very well. The front desk staff were super nice.

The property was beautiful

Furniture and fixtures were outdated. Air vents were very dusty. I wish self parking was available instead of valet.

Loved the view and location. Also having the cafe and convenience store at the hotel was very convenient.

The hotel offers beach towels for guests, but do not have beach chairs and umbrellas available for use. The hotel is in a calmer area of Waikiki Beach, and you can either purchase a beach chair from the local Walmart (which would not make sense) or rent two chairs w/umbrella for $100.00 for a full day from a beach vendor (which is absurd). Illikai should really reconsider this, as guests come to their location to enjoy the beach, and are paying thousands of dollars to do so. So, give them a beach chair /umbrella to use. That's my only issue with the hotel.

The location was excellent. The hotel is in a very walkable area, and you DO NOT need to rent a car. Food, shopping, entertainment, and the beach are all within walking distance, with lots of options to choose from. The staff (and the people in general) are extremely nice and friendly. The hotel offers nice amenities, including bottled water, free scoops of ice cream daily, and even has DVD access similar to Redbox. They have Hawaiian singers and hula dancers every Friday night which is nice, and in a prime spot for the Friday night fireworks. The hotel is busy with guests leaving and new guests coming in throughout the day, but it never felt crowded. The rooms are spacious, very clean, and comfortable. The ocean view room is a "must" if you want to wake up to some of the most fantastic views ever. The full kitchen was also a plus, as we were able to purchase items at the grocery store and save on eating out for every meal. The hotel is in a very safe and walkable area both day and night. Another nice added touch is the availability of laundry machines on each floor ($3.00 each). This is a very nice convenience for guests like myself who like to take clean clothes home, or for those who want to pack light.

Elevators were a bit scary. The people above us kept smoking pot (even though smoking was not allowed) and we could smell it clearly in our room and the living area, we reported it but security didn't do anything about it. Also, the pool staff were incredibly rude.

Two outdoor pools, one on the second floor and a deep pool just off the restaurant area. Neither pool allows balls or jumping into the pool. Front desk staff are amazing. The outdoor restaurant is worth a few visits and Dave's Ice Cream can't be beat. We had laundry on our floor but not in our suite.You can easily see Friday night Waikiki fireworks from the lagoon. We watched from the fence (perfect vantage point).

The hotel itself was amazing. The only thing was the restaurant located in the property had such amazing food but the service with the waiter was not the greatest since they messed up on our food order a few times.

The beach and lagoons were very closed by! This was such an amazing location and walking distance to many locations. My husband and I will definitely be revisiting the Ilikai. The staff in the hotel were so nice too.

I was in 710 for 8 nights. Definitely subpar. That unit needs some maintenance. It was dingy, rundown, the shower curtain had mold. The curtains were coming off the walls. It was dirty and felt just dingy. However the two bedroom worked for us because I was traveling with a couple whose husband is confined to a wheel chair. For what we paid (top dollar) we should have been in a better quality unit. One night I stayed in 220 (?). It was a way nicer unit except it had spider webs and bugs on the walls. I always stay at the ilikai. It has larger rooms and good sized balconies and is in the center of everything.
