A quaint, classy, and affordable hotel.
Pros:

The Wayfinder was a great value hotel. The pool and hot tub were quaint , the rooms were “fun” and decorated creatively, the food in the restaurant was amazing and great prices (for Hawaii).

Cons:

The views of other loving accommodations from our balcony. A bit run down. Our canal view was off too far in the distance but it was pretty to have a sliver of it.

Great boutique, hotels close to the beach
Pros:

The breakfast was good. I really liked the Cobb salad – very fresh. Poke bowls were good as well.

They had daily events at the pool- music, etc.

The highest standard hotel in Hawaii
Pros:

It was well taken care of. I liked the Bar and Area to the breakfast bar pool area was very open. The design of the room was very stylish, the view was also very beautiful, all the spaces around the hotel were very comfortable and nice to be at. The bar had a large spaces to relax or work if you need and the restaurant was a well positioned with the secondary bar where you can get drinks overnight. The facilities were well taken care as in cleaning this and also the bathroom had all the toiletries and high-quality towels and dressing down.

Cons:

The beeping of the elevator. You hear through the wall and also sometimes people walking in the corridor.

Great location & easy to walk to Waikīkī beach
Pros:

Pool was nice little oasis and had a little bar

Cons:

Could use a few Reno’s/ updates. The flooring when you got off elevator was all warped, torn and had tape on it. Tacky!

Good place to stay when transiting through Honolulu.
Pros:

Convenient to Waikīkī. Good restaurant on property. Comfortable area around the pool. Poke was excellent!

Cons:

Had to ask for cups and a pot to boil water, but they did deliver one to the room. Resort fee.

These guys suck,will be suing them
Pros:

Property ok

Cons:

Was literally framed for a charge by hotel staff! Arrested & brutalized in my room,taken to jail & tortured for 2 days,now have to spend thousands of dollars to fight this fake charge. All because they gave me too much to drink in bar,then TV wouldn’t turn on in room!

Cool vibe and comfortable stay!
Pros:

Just a few blocks from the beach and downtown shopping areas. The room was very clean and comfortable. The pool area was pretty quiet and had a nice tropical vibe despite being in a city.

Cons:

Would have been nice to have a coffee maker in room. Coffee in their coffee shop was pricey.

Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious!! The hotel is a five minute walk to Waikiki Beach and makes for a quiet night’s sleep. The room was nicely decorated and very clean. The bed was super comfortable. We had a wrap around balcony to view gorgeous sunrises. Wish we could have stayed longer than just three nights.

Super stylish and hip place, recommend for a young couple.
Pros:

Very stylish, cool vibes, fun pool scene, felt
Like a pool party.

Cons:

Low ceilings, bed not facing the canal so the outlook was of an apartment building. Single glazing (apparently like most buildings in Waikīkī) so a lot of street noise / sirens right through the night

Slay
Pros:

Loved the location, the vibe and the style of the Hotel. You could fill up your water bottle for free and get towels, beach chairs and boogie boards. We‘ll def come back.

Cons:

The beds are way too small for 2 people, non removable shower head, you can hear everything happening outside and in other rooms (bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper), some receptionists vibe radiated „please don’t talk to me“.
the entry area is fully open so anyone can enter and use the lift, when I had forgotten the key and got a new one the old ones didn’t deactivate (which is something I have experienced in other hotels), so if you loose your key anyone that finds it can enter your room
