Waikiki Gateway Hotel

you get what you pay for

it kinda smelled

Good for the money

Old building, poor phone hotline service - couldn't understand the lady. She couldn't understand my question. Slow internet. Awful continental breakfast (mini bagels, toast & canned pineapple - in Hawaii!?)

Needs Improvement

Beds were very uncomfortable, if you would like to check in early they charge you an extra $25. Lobby was nice, rooms outdated

Good for the money

This hotel was a good deal for the money. I didn't stay right on the beach which has much nicer hotels but also much more expensive. From the hotel I had to walk through a park and then I was at the beach. The hotel had an OK continental breakfast, which was nice since the more expensive hotels didn't have complimentary breakfast. The hotel becomes more narrow the higher the building goes giving it an almost pyramid like shaped, which probably explains the odd room layout I had (hallway, hallway with bathroom, main area). I would stay here again but If I wanted to have a 5 star hotel I would stay somewhere else.

Outstanding Hotel for the price; Outstanding Staff at any price

This is a very nice hotel in Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii. Staff at hotel deserves an A+ Near everything, comfortable, extremely affordable if booked online, nice upgrades when available. 'Very good bang for the buck!

Nice location

Just needed a room to stay overnight while visiting Oahu. The room was okay but the bathroom could have been cleaner. The hotel is in a nice area with a great shopping area and eateries surrounding it. Local transportation also seems to be readily available.

Great room and hotel for the money

Excellent location, the staff is friendly and helpful. All bused stop in front of the hotel so literally did not need a car. Car rental place is walking from hotel. Breakfast is very basic, no complaints but they should add an egg or a fruit or both to the menu insteak of just a bagel.

My Favorite Hotel

I am a Hawaii resident and come into Waikiki frequently and stay overnight. I have stayed in a number of Waikiki hotels but Waikiki Gateway is my favorite. The staff shines.

Bathrooms could use a remodel

We were very excited about this hotel because most of the reviews we had read were pretty good and we got a great deal. When checking in we were told that we had received a free upgrade on our room. Great! Our room turned out to be on the 16th floor with nice views of Waikiki and a decent view of the ocean and glimpses of the mountains. The room was a bit smaller than I had experienced at other two star hotels but there were just two of us and we weren't really in the room that much so it wasn't a big deal. The bathroom was my real issue. The shower head was broken causing the water to spray everywhere and it looked like the tub had been badly repaired, the plaster was pulling away from the tub around the overflow drain. On a minor note there weren't any little shelves for shampoo bottles, etc., in the shower just the corners around the tub. It was a minor inconvenience but something you kind of expect. On the up side, the balcony was huge and nice spot to eat breakfast before heading out for the day. The continental breakfast was minimal but decent. Mini bagels, toast, canned pineapple, yogurt, coffee, tea and an orange drink that may have been Tang. They do have a parking garage and the fees are quite reasonable considering what other garages charge and that it is near impossible to find parking on the street in Waikiki. Plus, the valets are very friendly and helpful.
