What can I say - i mean this hotel is a 5 minute walk from work which is just perfect.
And the hotel is old, yes, and it doesnt have many facilities, yes, but it did what it was supposed to, to give me a place to rest and put my head down for a good night sleep and it did exactly that. I am happy. I would use it again.

The hotel's location is okay, but it's on the edge of Waikiki, about a half-hour walk to the center, so it's not very convenient. The hotel facilities are old; the paint is peeling, the wallpaper is torn, the pillows are worn out, and the amenities look very dated, probably not renovated in 20 years. Daily cleaning is a plus, though. The price is acceptable; it's alright for the price.

Great location. Great front desk staff. Even though traditional room is clean.

More than adequate for an overnight stay. Very good location near Waikiki Beach, with its shops and restaurants.
The amenities are perfectly adequate (air conditioning, refrigerator, coffee maker, TV), the room is clean, the bed is comfortable, and there's even a small (clean) pool right behind the bar. All in all, it's very good value for money.
23.03.2025 Guest
Room was comfortable, but bathroom very tight and in need of a little repair work. Food was delicious at the bar and service was very friendly.

The location is quite good, but the room is small, the overall service is good, recommended
23.06.2024 Guest
The location of the room is very good, close to Waikiki Beach, Mecy and Alomona shopping districts. There is an abc store and MM next to it, so you can have breakfast. The room is retro, clean and hygienic. There is a bar next to it where you can have a drink, which is very cozy. Although the sound insulation is not so perfect, the transportation is convenient, and it is highly recommended.

There was a coffee maker, but it was covered in dust. The coffee cups seemed unwashed and were still there with half-empty coffee in them.
The location is close to Ala Moana and you can walk there.
The room was spacious and had Wi-Fi. When I checked in, the front desk staff translated and helped me understand in Japanese, which was nice.

It was a great location to go out and have fun.
I could get to Kahanamoku Beach by walking for about 10 minutes.
It was nice to visit Ala Moana Center because it was close by.
The disappointing thing is that the bedding was a bit uncomfortable.
Due to its location near the road, it is unfortunate that there is noise.
The swimming pool is the same size as you see in the picture.
It's small compared to other places.
It was convenient to use because there was a refrigerator, and the bathroom was open. It seemed like it was. I think it's good value for money on its own :)

Booking in at reception was a friendly and very easy experience. The room was good but had more of a close up view of bushes than a City View.
The food I had was good, however the bar was often very busy with just one person making the food and serving drinks. I tried to get served a few times but had to leave and returned a bit later for service.
The location was very good for bus services and convenient for walking to local Waikiki beaches and along Kalakaua Ave.

Very disappointing, grilled shrimps was still cold inside and not grilled at all. Both salads, caprese and cole slaw must have been prepared in bulk, mushy and tasteless. Fries not crispy and also mushy.

The lobster tail, although mildly grilled was fantastic, soft and tasty.

Service was indifferent and slow

Maybe this was an off night or we got the wrong server, I took my son's out for dinner. The waiter continuously addressed my 14 year old son instead of me, maybe I look younger than I am or my son looks mature for his age but it was irritating. Our food was also very delayed but the manager adressed that which was great and she acknowledged me instead of my children... I chalk it up to an off night.

Good service. The drinks were good. Had an old fashioned and one of those tall fruity icy drinks. We went for the 4 course $20 meal set. It was good and filling. Shrimp was food perfectly. Enjoyed the chowder and salad. Dessert was a nice treat to bring home for later & of course we brought home some biscuits!

Close to Hilton Hawaii village. Seated straight away. Extensive menu. Generous portion sizes. Child/toddler friendly. Really good service. Will be back.

The waiter that we had was awesome. I can't remember her name, but just look for the tallest person there. She was very nice to our daughter and she had a great personality.

Gulab jamun was not fresh. Quantity per serving is low. They seem to be running low on staff. We had to wait about 30 minutes and and when finally asked, we realized that they actually forgot about our order.
21.12.2017 Uma
Visited for dinner. It’s pricey, service and food isn’t worth it. Please note, they charge 18 percent gratuity as a default on your check.
19.11.2017 Pranav
Good ambience, great service and located conveniently in heart of Waikiki. Food is decent.
17.11.2017 Michelle
Best Indian restaurant I've been in hawaii! The curry and naan was really really good!
11.11.2017 Jennifer
We visit Bombay Palace about twice a month. I always get a vegetarian option while my husband goes for the meat, lamb is his favorite and he is English so he knows his curry. This is our favorite Indian restaurant on the island.
Service is good and you almost always get seated right away.
My only issue is that the spice level sometimes is low, we like medium and it occasionally comes mild instead. Either way it is always tasty. Highly recommended.
Plus parking in the garage is only $1 with validation.
