Reviews
First, the good:
The location is unbeatable. You’re right in the heart of Waikīkī — across the street from Halekulani and Outrigger, steps from the beach, next to ABC (which is everywhere), and right by Roy’s. You can literally walk across the street to Orchids at Halekulani. If walkability matters to you, this spot is elite.
The staff is the epitome of the Aloha Spirit.
Leanne was wonderful, and there was a gentleman whose name I believe is Aaron (or possibly Eric — apologies if I got that wrong), who went above and beyond to help me even though he didn’t have to. I’m actually moving to Hawaiʻi, and his kindness and guidance meant a lot. Their service alone deserves five stars.
Now the honest part:
The property itself is extremely outdated.
We stayed in room 1807 on the 18th floor, and the carpet was so worn and dirty that we had to wear shoes and socks the entire time. The fold-out sofa bed area was especially bad.
The bathroom off the living room had visible mold in the shower, and the entire unit feels like it hasn’t been renovated since the early 80s — maybe even late 70s. I took photos of everything.
This is definitely not a modern “resort” experience. The building is tired, and it shows.
Important to note:
The Imperial does not have a restaurant or bar, but there is a cool speakeasy downstairs in the lobby area (separate from the hotel itself). I was there for three weeks and only went once — not because it wasn’t good, but because Waikīkī has so many great bars to explore.

Bottom line:
If you care about location, walkability, and warm Hawaiian hospitality, you’ll love it.
If you care about modern rooms, updated interiors, and luxury finishes, this is not your place.
The staff and location carry this property. The rooms desperately need renovation.
With that said, I know ive painted a rather grim picture, but youre not here to stay in a hotel room, this hotel is great for walking to places, and its a short walk to the beach. The staff here were amazing and helpful, and I can not praise them enough, that said if you stay here go to the misubi cafe that is next door for a cheap meal, and the bakery around the corner for a coffee and a snack. I highly recommend this area and the staff, but there is room for improvement.
The rooms are well appointed. Full kitchen with all the basics, plus extras you can borrow from Housekeeping, like a rice cooker, air fryer or blender.
The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Our room was fantastic, and the facilities were a huge win for the kids. The pool, spa, hot tubs, sauna, and gym kept everyone entertained and made our stay feel like a true holiday retreat.
And the location… unbeatable. Right in the heart of Waikiki with everything at our doorstep including one of the best ABC Stores in all of Waikiki right in the same building.
The Imperial exceeded our expectations in every way, and when we return to Hawaii, we will 100% stay here again. Highly recommend!
The view from the pool was amazing.
When I pulled the curtains to go to bed, the rail fell off. I told housekeeping the next day, and when I got back that evening, it was fixed.
I was surprised because there's a saying in Hawaii that goes, "Hawai'i time."

My experience: great service all around, plenty of TVs to watch any game (15+ around the bar), hostess and bartender were extremely helpful and customer friendly
My food: Please never order the pineapple ballpark sausage from this place...yes there was tiny bits of pineapple in half of the sausage but it was bland and they for some reason served it with salsa, the bun was terrible and way too much for the dog, and I could cook a better dog in my college kitchen. The fries were, surprisingly, on point, crisp, with more than an expected share.
Evaluation: I’ll come here to watch a game, but I’ll only drink beers
Score is lowest because service was less than expected. Beef and broccoli dish was only half the size I get on the mainland. They didn't offer chop sticks and were very skimpy with white rice on my daughter's order.
The dancers were amazing as well as the singers, and the host was very informative.
Personally, I loved the evening show. We could see the sunset, the Diamond Head and all of Waikiki Beach in the background. It was truly magical.
Though not lavish, the buffet was quite good. The Aha'aina dance show was excellent – with many type of dances, including the iconic Hawaiian dance and fire performance, were all performed accordingly – so there was simply no need to get to the Polynesian Cultural Center.
Note: Seat selection is on a first-come-first-served basis so try to arrive early if you can.
