Entrance to the hotel lobby is up a stairs, so it's a challenge for some people with disabilities or lots of luggage. Once in the lobby, there are elevators to the floors. The hotel pool was small, nice looking but we didn't jump in as it was too cool for us. The ocean temp was warmer.

Hotel was a nice, small hotel with staff readily available to assist. The parking lot below the hotel was less than # of rooms but had additional parking (on request) in an adjacent building. Parking did incur a daily fee. Hotel staff were able to hold our bags until we checked in and facilitated an early check-in for us. The hotel was walking distance to beaches, parks, shops and restaurants and the nearby Ala Moana Center mall.

Nothing

It's a warm atmosphere in a charming boutique hotel run by a local family and I always feel welcome and relaxed staying here. The location is ideally close to all beaches and the Alo Moana shopping center and the Convention center .

The room could use some updating but was comfortable private secure and quiet so no complaints

I loved the warm hospitality from everyone including the bartender and Lincoln especially who greeted me and assisted me after a long trip and who assisted me with my bags again when I was leaving. Maholo Lincoln and everyone at the Equus my home away from home😀

The bathroom door could not be properly locked. There is no bath tub and no exhaust fan in the bathroom. The steam filled up the bathroom while taking a shower.

The location is excellent. It is close to the shopping mall and the beach. The room is comfortable. The room is quiet when the window is shut. The staff are very friendly. They helped us store our luggage before our check-in time.

Bathroom is very small and the shower is quite limited, but this seems in line for many hotels in Honolulu. I really would like if they provided even a simple breakfast for the costs involved. There are stairs up to the first floor to check-in, which is fine unless you have a lot of heavy baggage. Parking lot is very small and limited.

First of all, the hotel staff is exceptional. They make the stay so very pleasant and are the real reason, along with the location, that I stay here every year for an annual convention. The hotel has been refreshed with the Hawaii style is lovely. The rooms are comfy with great beds. I love the full size Keurig machines in the rooms with plentiful k-cups. About a 6 minute walk to the convention center and 3 minutes to the Ala Moana Shopping Mall. Nearby to food, transport, beach, and post office.

I really can't think of anything I didn't like.

Our stay was for 5 nights (mother and daughter). We loved the super friendly and helpful staff - they were like one big happy family. Definitely felt like you were in holiday mode. The room was lovely and very impressed with the comfort of the bed. We enjoyed a couple of lovely breakfasts at the bar and cocktails were amazing by the very experienced staff. We didn't use the pool in the end as we headed out each day but if we were a few more days we would have used it. Great location - handy to shops, beaches and restaurants. Would stay again for sure!

No decent continental breakfast available - neither in the hotel nor in the vicinity. Ended up buying a loaf of bread, cheese, tea and milk to make a.halfway healthy breakfast in-room. Noisy traffic in the main street in front of the hotel, windows provide no soundproofing whatsoever.

Location was strategically good, close to beaches and conference centre. Clean bathroom. Good beds.

This is a lovely little hotel having a perfect situation in the center of Honolulu. Some traffic noise during the night, of course, but not too bad. The Bamboo room was beautiful. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere! We are horse riders and loved the horsy feeling of this hotel. Old photos on the corridors walls are interesting and touching.

Not really anything.

First,there is no breakfast. So don't mistake that. The Equus is not/not a 5 star. Nor does it pretend to be. It is a comfortable oasis amidst a number of 50+ five star candidates. Diminutive in size, only 10 stories...it has carved a special niche for itself. Location is excellent...all you could want. Places to eat, shop, beach, all within steps. You can pay more by going to the five star. So you would have a glasses in shower, or be on beach side. But it's Hawaii and beaches are public domain. In both cases you still have to walk and take your towels etc.. Anyway, I would do it again.
