I enjoyed its resort feel and being off the busy Waikiki street. I heard the birds, was able to walk the grounds, and enjoyed the smell of the hotel. It was relaxing but I could get to the shopping easily.

Location, friendly staff. No room service, I believe it’s the same across all hotels.

The pool is very tiny and the value for money I don't know. I didn't feel that it deserved what we paid. Saying that, we did book late and Waikiki is expensive in general. Plus having a direct access to the beach makes it more valuable I guess. Just beware that chairs and umbrellas on the beach are not complimentary and you have to hire through a third party for 100 USD a day for 2 chairs and 1 umbrella or per hour. There's a shop few steps away, next to Denny's cafe, you can hire them for a whole week per 100 USD. Also hire other beach equipment.

The royal Hawaiian is beautiful. It's the 2nd oldest hotel and have a luxurious and classy feel, but when we visited the Moana Surfrider I liked it more. It has a lively vibe and facilities seem better. The pool is bigger than the Royal which has a very tiny pool. But the advantage is that you can use the Sheraton's 2 big pools instead. Big shout out for the staff though. They are very courteous and friendly and accommodated our request for early check out without a fee.

$20 per drink at the bar, and +$70 a day to use the beach chairs for a beach that’s not even private—if anything it’s overcrowded. but it’s to be expected in the most touristy area of Hawaii.

right in the heart of Waikiki! super central location, short walk to everything nearby! gorgeous hotel and amenities! super friendly and accommodating staff!

The rooms were fantastic and so was the hotel. Such a beautiful hotel, and close to everything including it's very own shopping mall with food court. The pool is small but that was okay since we had the beautiful beach just steps away from the hotel. This was such a memorable experience for my family, no regrets!

There was nothing that dissatisfied me. This place is wonderful!

I consider myself a well traveled person. I've been all over the world, and stayed at many different hotels and resorts. Nothing compares to the Royal Hawaiian Resort. It is above and beyond any luxury hotel that I've stayed in. The history, location, accommodations and amenities are worth every penny. The service is so warm and personalized, that I wouldn't even call the people that work there staff members. They are family. This is our second year in a row staying at the Royal Hawaiian Resort, and we fully intend on keeping it as an annual tradition. My husband and I truly love this resort, and so do our four year old daughters. I'm excited to watch them enjoy our vacations here for many years to come. A big thank you to everyone who made our vacation amazing!

upon extension of stay from one week to 17 nights on $700/night, manager refused to include breakfast, which in my opinion was a disgrace hotel could also emphasize on extension that the rate doesn’t include taxes in advance and not only upon check out

hotel full of history and character perfect location service is normally exceptional and with smile

Rooms were more dated than they appeared online. our ocean view room in the Tower had an immaculate view but the room itself wasn’t very new and up to date.

The location can’t be beat. Direct access to Waikiki Beach. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Nice pool/beachside bar and restaurant. The hotel grounds were very beautiful.
