Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani

Professional and friendly staff, ease of checkin and getting to Waikiki attractions, close to the beach, excellent on-site bakery, nice infinity pool and workout center, and a responsive and prompt housekeeping crew. It’s less crowded and noisy than the next-door Sheraton, and delightfully quiet all night.

The room was spacious, the toilet was equipped with a washlet, and it was a very nice hotel. I was very happy that Halepuna Hotel sandals and a water bottle were provided.

Halepuna is a boutique hotel, so you won't find all of the amenities you might expect at a resort - we didn't mind (and you do have access to the spa at its sister hotel across the street). Everything about our stay was terrific, most notably: * Easy check in, nice staff * Love the Amaki bath products * Very quiet * Gym is small but equipment is in good working condition and clean * Nice pool! * Yoga on Sunday was terrific (GREAT yoga instructor)

Deduct 1 star because of the pool guy and no desk in room. Otherwise this is a less expensive version of Halekulani. If you like no resort fee, freebies and high tech technology, this is the best place. Our room on the 8th floor was convenient with pool, gym, garden, laundry area, water refill station on the same floor, with private nice and clean bathrooms and showers near pool/gym so if you are sharing room with someone, you can use one of those instead of waiting. Our patio almost same size of room, really great for drying out wet swimsuits and towels. We also got promotion of free breakfast, early check in and late checkout (or you can choose free parking). Great location, just a short walk from lots of shops, places to eat, and of course the beach. Best is it’s soundproof, you won’t hear any outside noice once the doors are closed. Also highly recommend meals at House Without a Key across at Halekulani. Expensive but worth it. Everyone so nice and relax, totally has that vacation vibe eating al fresco.

I stayed in a. Ocean front room on the 19th floor. Staff and location is amazing. The location is tucked away so you have minimal street noise (I've stayed at resorts on the main street and it's a huge difference in outside noise) and it feels more secluded but still steps away from all the shops on the main road. The rooms are small but laid out very well. The beds were a little on the firmer side but I still slept well. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every thing I needed or could even want was taken care of even after I checked out. I would highly recommend halepuna!! Thank you!
