Free Ukulele lesson
Pros:

Laylow offered a free beginner ukulele lesson and it was great! Ukuleles were provided at no cost. Jason Tse was an excellent instructor and got me playing songs very quickly. He even challenged me with some different strumming techniques. Very friendly and patient. Also, after the lesson you get 1/2 off a Maitai at the bar, which was a nice bonus.

You're missing out!
Pros:

Went to happy hour + din with some gfs, had the pleasure of having Nicole as a server at hideout. She was so attentive and refilled our waters so seamlessly. We sat next to the fire pit, for some pupus, good ambience and music. I'll be coming back again!

Perfect Mid-Trip Stop in Waikiki!
Pros:

Family of 5 on a Hawaii trip — we stayed two nights at The Laylow as a break from Maui and it delivered on every front. Superb location, friendly staff, and a chic modern vibe that felt just right. The bar/restaurant with live music was excellent — great energy but never loud enough to disturb our room. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well done. We’ll definitely be back!

Great place, great staff!
Pros:

I had an amazing time at the Laylow. First off, such a cool name. This was my first time here. I had to come to Hawaii for a last minute business trip and I’m glad I chose here. From the location to the staff and amenities, it was a great place I would highly recommend. Thank you so much to the friendly front desk ma’am Sheila, I was very anxious after a long flight and the last minuteness of my trip and she was very assuring and helpful.

Great experience
Pros:

We had a wonderful experience at the laylow Hotel for breakfast. My husband and I ate at the hideout Resturant for breakfast. The iced mocha pistachio latte was out of this world. And the smoke salmon Benedict was best I ever had. Our Sever Sarah was the greatest part. She was so helpful in what to order, knowledge, patient (I couldn’t make up mind) attentive and always had a smile on her face. Fantastic service. 10 out of 10 experience!

Law low in paradise
Pros:

Great room and even better people! Dominick and the front desk staff were kind and super helpful. Easy walk to the beach and area restaurants/shops. Room was quiet, clean and spacious; and the price fit right in our budget. Exercise room is just enough to get in your workout and the pool is perfect for lounging or a quick dip to cool off. Shave Ice and fun activities for the kids, nightlife right at the hotel for the adults.

Nori is the BEST
Pros:

We had an amazing stay, and I especially want to recognize our housekeeper Nori. She was absolutely wonderful! Every time she saw us, she greeted us with a smile, remembered my children, and always asked if we needed anything. Our room was spotless every single day, and you could really tell she took pride in her work.

Her kindness and attention to detail made us feel so welcome and cared for throughout our stay. It’s employees like her who make a vacation even more memorable. Thank you for going above and beyond—we truly appreciate everything you did for our family!
