Honolulu hotels near Waikiki Aquarium

Cons: View is slightly obstructed below the 17th floor but still has amazing sunsets, everything else was perfect

Cons: It's close to the beach, but not on it. The TV's need an upgrade. It would have been nice if the pool was open later. We watched people swim from our balcony at another hotel while ours was closed.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The dolidpin and turtle tanks, way to small for them to live

Cons: Wish there was good snorkeling right around there but that's asking for too much!!

Cons: Above average humidity for this time of year. We were told it was due to the El Nino from winter. Small pool (and number of chaise lounges) that can get crowded quickly. Food from the Seaside Grill and Plumeria is overpriced and okay, at best. Drinks overpriced, but tastes great.

Cons: The pool should be larger. The poolside menu could use some more pizazz and creativity.

Cons: The line to check in/out was very long.

Cons: Our room fridge had leftovers from a previous guest. No daily housekeeping made it a bit tough with towels and toiletries.

Cons: Infinity pool for adults only. Internet connectivity in and out.

Cons: Loved everything.

Cons: The initial room I was in seemed to be slightly dirty (tub and sheets both had stains). I can’t for certain say they weren’t clean. I couldn’t tell if they were stained or dirty. Either way, I shouldn’t have to guess. Once I notified management this was quickly rectified and I was placed in a new room- with a bonus upgrade. This is still my favorite hotel.

Cons: I was really bummed that on the day we checked out, we couldn't use the pool at all. Didn't get to spend a lot of time there, because check in the day before was not until 3pm.

Cons: Front desk attendant asked for my home address which I’ve never experienced. Was a little weird. She wrote it down just on scratch paper. The pool waitress was very inattentive to myself and a friend that stopped by for a visit. Although she repeadily attended to everyone else on the same row of lounge chairs.

Cons: drunk lady from Chicago in Pool.

Cons: - Resort charge of $31/day seemed steep for wi-fi usage - Breakfast buffet of $28/person was overpriced for the quality

Cons: Our room card was not working eventhougn we have not rven checked out. So we wasted our time wating security and got new card etc..

Cons: The Strike. Traveling to a location such as Hawaii with family and having no housekeeping, and closed restaurants makes for an expensive trip that was just like staying at home

Cons: I’m a Starwood member and was told at checkin that I’d receive a 10% discount on restaurants, spa etc at the Royal as well as the affiliate hotels. The gentleman said it would be deducted from the final bill; however, at checkout no discounts were applied. I questioned this and was told I needed to present my card at the time of each service and the deduction was not automatic. The bad info I received at checkin cost me at least $60.

Cons: So many kids and not enough chairs and umbrellas by pool

Cons: The gym was not good!

Cons: This place is expensive, it really helps to be in the mindset that you aren't bargain hunting when you stay here. If you are here in peak season and want to take advantage of beach chair or umbrella rentals you may want to book them before you are onsite.

Cons: Pool attendant was rather rude.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: They charge for a beach chair 45.00 daily. very crowded at pool and pool is very small.

Cons: This space intentionally left blank. :-)

Cons: Everything else

Cons: Mid-week was peaceful and serene. By the weekend the place was filling up with lots of tourists. Can't believe how many people were in Waikiki in general.

Cons: AC in historic wing could be better. Pool is very small. Not sure why families bring kids here, they'd be much happier at one of the bigger resorts (including the Sheraton right next door).

Cons: Minor gripes about cleanliness. Found a charm and a bobby pin left by previous room occupants, and toilet had a few hairs and spots also from previous occupants.

Cons: Our room seemed small. There were too many reasons we had to call for help, including repairs to the room and keys not working. All resolved, but annoying. I don't think a hotel of this caliber should be having these kind of problems. The price tag is very steep and I wasn't convinced it was worth it.

Cons: parking!!! 35$ for valet parking each day you stay?? crazy!!!! def try and do street parking !!!

Cons: No disappointments.

Cons: There are potential noise issues here depending on neighbors and room location. We were lucky on both fronts, although the view from our window certainly left a lot to be desired.

Cons: Nothing.

Cons: Room very run down from carpet to furniture, bed was uncomfortable, furniture was very ugly almost like motel 6, carpet felt dirty and old.

Cons: If city noise bothers you, perhaps choose another site. I was on the 18th floor and could hear the street traffic very clearly. However it’s a city, so that should be expected. I live in a noisy area anyways so this was ok for me. The pillows though were soooo terrible. Flat awful things. Really, they were the only bad part of the trip.

Cons: Checkin agent didn't recognize status and would have not given us our breakfast vouchers if i had not asked, that also promoted the offer of two free waters based on our status (gold). Breakfast was the same both days. Also a bit surprised that the only asian influence to breakfast was plain white rice. I would have thought that there would be some other asian influence to the buffet.

Cons: The activities desk. Spoke with one gentleman who was unable to arrange car reservations or recommend alternate modes of transportation and tried to get me to sit through a 90-min timeshare spiel, then waited a 1/2hr to speak to the Expedia lady, only to find out there weren't compact cars available to rent. Walked over to front desk & discussed options to get to Kailua beach. Front desk guys were super nice & gave great recommendations that made my trip great.

Cons: Room looks cheap than value

Cons: Toilets are little old and there is no AC

Cons: Long check I lines after 2 pm

Cons: The 35$ breakfast cost. It was a surprise to me to pay that much for breakfast.

Cons: Room service neglected to replace the coffee pod on one of the days the room was cleaned. We didn't notice until the following morning when it was time to make coffee. When visiting the fitness room, one of the two elliptical trainers had a broken display. This made it impossible to use in any mode other than manual.

Cons: There was a lot of people staying whhich even though it had multiple elevators it took a long time to get from floor 1 to 31.

Cons: For the money not a nice hotel room. I would not consider it a 3 star hotel, more like a 2.

Cons: No much....

Cons: Nothing; we have no complaints.

Cons: The lobby needs to be updated. It was clean but the decor looked like it was from the 80's. They need to update it like the rooms. The elevators were a bit of a hassle. There were 4 of them and one was not working. The ones that were working seemed to have a mind of their own at times.

Cons: Our refrigerator broke on day one but they were good about replacing it The parking is expensive $30 a day as is the breakfast buffet $35 per person Wish the kids pool was heated The Morimoto restaurant customer service was disappointing as they kept saying the chef was there so we made multiple reservations and yet every time we went they came up with some excuse as to why we could not meet him. A great way to make money

Cons: I booked this room for my elderly parents for their first vacation in Hawaii. Paid for a partial ocean view room, and got only a slice of ocean. They were given the worst room possible in that category. AC unit outside room was extremely loud which made their sleep miserable. I feel sorry for them and regret booking this hotel. But the damage was done.

Cons: There's a hidden resort fee that you pay $20 a night for. But my question was, where's the resort? The clerk was like, "this is the resort." But he wasn't clear that the "resort fee" included beach towels and beach chairs. There's a LOT of construction going on. It doesn't bother me so much, but it might bother you. There's no pool, but the hotel does have access to the Hilton's pool next door. But I was just swimming at the beach the whole time. All the "resort" amenities are basically under construction/refurbishment- like the aquarium with restaurant and tennis courts. So the only thing was I was paying a resort fee when the stuff for the resort aren't even available. I feel like they should have just waived the resort fee.

Cons: Outdated decor is easily overlooked for a clean low priced room

Cons: People should be aware that parking is only by valet, and that the daily parking rate is on the expensive side.

Cons: Lighting in the hotel room was very poor overall. Must valet park for $32 a night or park at a meter. (This is the norm for the area though.)

Cons: Lighting in our room was terrible - very dim and with no light in the entry area. Air conditioning is underpowered and can't keep up with Hawaii sun.
