OHANA Waikiki West

Get what you pay for

I guess as the old addage goes....you get what you pay for. We had the standard room which was a decent size for 3 people but it was not very clean. There were items left in the refrigerator. and, I would not recommend taking a bath in the tub and wear your flip flops in the tub and in the room because the floor is not very clean. They put us in a room right by the elevators so it was very loud unless you like the sound of thunder because that's what it sounds like along with the people in and out of the elevators. Take your earplugs. I can't complain about the immenities though. The pool was very nice with a nice bar. Overall I would say the room was just ok. But who stays in their room all the time anyway? The hotel was just 2 blocks from the beach which was nice. I would say it was an ok room for the money.

I Love This Hotel!

Ohana Waikiki West has the feel of a luxury hotel at a bargain price, and the amenities (Waikiki connection) are an added bonus. I will definitely stay here again!

Good Stay for this Sailor

This hotel is great for the price you pay and the location. Yes it is noisy from the hookers and traffic traveling in the area. I am a Sailor and accustomed to these elements so it didn't bother me a bit. Hotel is close to all the clubs and bars which was convenient for my night time activities. Room is just that. A room, TV, functional bathroom no tub, closet not much space to walk around though. 3 am I could clearly hear my neighbors through the wall enjoying each other.

Low Budget Hotel in Seedy Area in Paradise

I recently stayed at the Ohana Waikiki West hotel during Pro Bowl week. Since it's a popular week for tourists, room rates are generally higher than usual. So, the price for Ohana Waikiki West was comparatively more affordable. However, after my stay, I wish I had spent the extra money for a better hotel. The hotel is in need of renovations. Our in-room safe had to be replaced as the original one was not working properly and the mirrored closet door fell off the track and wouldn't open or close. Worst of all, the 3 elevators in the building do not operate properly. I stayed on the 4th floor and the elevator constantly dropped me off on the 5th floor. Also, since you need to use your card key to operate the elevator, if you didn't slide it in quick enough (or if it didn't read your card, as it often times did), the elevator would just bring you up to a floor where guests were waiting for an elevator. It was very annoying and I usually opted to take the stairs. I thought the location was okay since it was only about 2 blocks away from Waikiki Beach. However, the hotel is on a street frequented by "streetwalkers" and rowdy club/bar goers. The sounds of yelling and police sirens could often be heard through our balcony (closed) window. All in all, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone -- especially not to families or anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet vacation. If you're on a tight budget and don't mind a rowdy atmosphere, view of scantily-clad women and broken elevators, this might be okay.
