I stayed here with my partner for my birthday,from the moment we checked in I knew it was going to be special.The staff are very courteous and attentive and our room with garden view was HUGE! we even had a teeny ocean view! We had a large walk in wardrobe and bathroom complete with pink towels.A big plus point was... more

The Royal Hawaiian is like an old friend to us. A great historic hotel which we have visited many times. Our youngest daughter actually had her wedding reception in this hotel. We enjoy the history of this hotel.....splendid architecture and ornate furnishings. The hotel is undergoing a refurbishing this year into next. We're hoping it won't destroy its special ambience,... more

This hotel can be hit and miss. When its not busy, it can seem like a great value high end hotel in the heart of Waikiki. At other times, you'll be fighting for pool space and beach chairs with little or no service. The tower rooms have a great ocean view, but the walls are like paper. The garden rooms... more

We stayed for a week in late January. There is no better location (though a couple may be equal). On the beach with its own exclusive beach area. We were fortunate to have a great rate as part of a group (about 1/2 of the normal online rates) and a great ocean view room with a nice balcony in the... more

My husband, 2 year old son and I visited RH for 4 nights in January. I was a bit worried by some of the reviews of late. I know that the hotel is closing in a few months for the remainder of 2008, so I hope I can go back again after the make over. We didn't have any real... more

My first trip to Wakiki and I am sure it won't be my last, but I will not be staying at the Royal Hawaiin again until the promised remodel is complete. My room looked like my great grandmothers bedroom. It is very old, very dark, not at all what you want when you go to sunny Hawaii. I have stayed... more

The "Pink Palace" is a lovely place to stay for Christmas! The whole place is decorated beautifully. Every evening there is caroling in the lobby by various community groups. If you want to enjoy the fabulous Christmas dinner, book early! We were disappointed that, even as hotel guests who had booked two months prior to our visit, we at first... more

I was pleased to find the hotel tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki's main street. And you can't beat the beach location. The first room we had was a bit shabby (peeling wall paper, bugs in the bathroom) but the staff was helpful and accomodating in moving us to a better room. The high ceilings and classic... more

I was hesitant at first because the Royal Hawaiian bedrooms are decorated in the classical furniture with ornate mirrors, wallpaper, and old-style lamps but I was pleasantly surprised. Not only did we stay 5 nights at the Royal, we checked out to go to the Moana Surfrider but had them transer our reservation back over to the Royal Hawaiian for... more
