“Great Waikiki value for families”

Ilima Hotel

4/4 found this review helpful

We spent 5 nights at the Ilima Hotel. We were looking for an affordable hotel near Waikiki beach, which is challenging. We were also looking for a room with some space as we were traveling with our 5-year-old. The Ilima fit the bill. We got a great AAA rate. The room was very big for the Waikiki area and had a fully-equipped kitchenette area. It is an older property and some areas are showing it's age. The room itself was clean and updated but not fancy. The beds were very comfortable. The bathroom looked recently remodeled with newer fixtures. The property's pool is small and was a bit disappointing. The pool area is also shaded and drafty so a hot tub would have been nice. (We had also just arrived from the Westin Maui, which was downright opulent but twice as expensive, so this did kind of skew our perspective). We appreciated the on-site free parking and the on-site self-serve laundry facilities.

“Affordable but dumpy”

1/5 found this review helpful

I'm kind of shocked to read all the great reviews of this hotel. It was an inexpensive hotel for the area yes, but grungy and worn. The bed was very uncomfortable. Maybe people are happy not to see bugs or whatnot, but nothing really great to relay about this place.

“Great Value, clean and friendly staff.”

5/5 found this review helpful

Stayed at the Ilima for three nights - one night in January and two nights in February. Our plabe arrived quite early - 7am and we arrived at the Ilima at about 8.30am after quite a long shuttle ride. Even though check-in time was 3pm the friendly staff at the desk made a room available and checked us in straight away. This was really appreciated after the flight from Sydney. The rooms are definitely above average in size with a small kitchen and a full size fridge. The room and bathroom were very clean and everything worked. We stayed in two different rooms, firstly on level 11 and then on level 5, both rooms were quiet. Another nice touch is that the reception area has some nice paintings.

I'd recommend the Ilima to anyone who wants a hotel in a good location at a reasonable price especially if you plan to do some cooking whilst on holidays.

    • Disliked — There was some road works outside that could make some rooms noisy during the day, not a problem for us though.

This modest hotel is only two blocks famous WaiKiKi beach. The smallest room was still huge with full kitchen, clean, slightly dated decor with a lot of pink. Free on-site parking, plesant staff. We found it to be a great value.

“Great Hotel”

We had a condo reserved on the Windward side of the island and it turned out to be a high priced dump. We checked out and tried to find a hotel in Waikiki. We were very surprised when a room at this hotel was available. They showed us a room and quoted the rate and we were sold. Nice hotel, quiet, clean, people at the desk were very helpful and friendly. Nice balcony overlookig Waikiki. We would stay here again in a heartbeat if we visit Oahu again.
