If you prefer a clean, modern and trendy esthetics, you will like this hotel. We really enjoyed our stay. The room itself isn’t super fancy, but is serene and comfortable. The pools and outdoor bar are lovely, reminiscence of a spa. The staffs were all very friendly. The best part for us is that the Modern seems to be tailored... More

Stayed there for four nights in a city view room, but we were able to see the ocean and the pool. The room was very clean, decent size with two double beds. The staff were very nice and responsive to our questions. The complimentary coffee maker (you have to ask for) was great, it comes with lots of coffee and... More

We stayed at this hotel in November and were hoping for a lot. We booked before the management "reshuffle" but our reservations were honoured. Unfortunately our "ocean view" room wasn't. it looked towards the adjacent hotel, and you needed to be on the balcony looking sideways to see the ocean. In my opinion this is just plain dishonest, and a... More

the hotel is all it promises to be...great rooms, good views, amazing restaurants. Its modern in every way. The staff is friendly and helpful, concierge is good but not as great as the other hotels. The best part are the 2 pools...especially the salt water pool with a great poolside bar. More

My husband and I were on vacation to celebrate our anniversary. From the several times we've been to Hawaii, this has been the best visit we've had and I believe it has a lot to do with the "home" we made ourselves at The Modern Honolulu during our stay. The staff was always friendly, ready with a smile, (even if... More

Our 6-night stay 14-21 Apr: I'll start with the fact that I've been to Honolulu, as well greater Oahu and all of the outer islands, many times. Having stayed in and seen many kinds of hotels and accommodations, including both of the venerable old Waikiki classics, I have to say The Modern Honolulu is my favorite. I acknowledge that, while...

The modern is a beautiful hotel with friendly staff and a great pool. It is located very close to the beach and a beautiful lagoon is located next door which is fantastic. The decor is modern and clean and our room was fantastic. We were treated well from check in to check out. My friend and I are looking forward... More

Loved the trendiness of the hotel: a bookshelf in the lobby moves in the evening to uncover a bar, great pool (too bad we only had 2 nights on Oahu!), and very hip rooms (you can even plug in your I-phone in their speakers dock in your room!). Service was excellent. We were particularly impressed by the concierge, who not... More

We got this hotel on Priceline and I was a little skeptical about how nice it would be after reading mixed reviews. It turned out to be perfect! I was attending a conference so the location was great because I could walk. There were a lot of nice little perks that I didn't expect like turn down maid service and... More
