“An Affordable Hotel in Waikiki”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My Husband and I stayed here Jan. 25 to Feb. 2, 2012. It is not a new hotel but has been renovated. We totally enjoyed our stay. The staff was very friendly and was very helpfull and knowledgeable when we asked for direction. Our room was clean and tidy with a balcony facing the Ala Wai Canal. It is in walking distance to the Waikiki Beach, the honolulu zoo and if you go to the beach the hotel also has towels they let you take to the beach. Since one is right on the Ala Wai Blvd there is traffic noise which didn't bother us but if one is light sleeper you should get a room facing away from the canal, but the view is much nicer on the canal side then the buildings on the other side. The big plus about this hotel is that they serve breakfast from 6:30 to 9:30. They serve waffles, sausage and scrambled eggs, pastries, muffins, fresh pineapple and 3 different types of juices. The coffee is brewed all day so it is kind of nice when one comes home in the evening to take a coffee up to your room. The only negative about the food is that the heated food is not hot enough.
The hotel also has 4 computers with a printer for you to use which is kind nice as one can pre-check in your flight and print your boarding passes. We never used their pool but they do have a small pool and it is small.

Aloha,

Thank you for the great review and recognizing our helpful staff. Our Mountain View rooms definitely have a great view of the what the island has to offer from shopping to sightseeing to outdoor activities. Thank you for mentioning your concern about the breakfast items. We will look into it as we do have standardized procedures that must be followed in order to pride ourselves in our products. We hope that we will see you again in the future!

“Amazing Hotel, Fantastic Experience. Highly Recommend!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
4
people found this review helpful

My experience with the Best Western Plus Coconut Waikiki was amazing. The staff are so friendly and the room was comfortable and very clean. We had the executive suite, which in my opinion is worth paying a little more and getting a slightly bigger room. There was 1.5 bathrooms, massive king bed and lounge which has a sofa, kitchenette and TV. The location is perfect, 2 blocks from everything and so close to bus and trolley stops for getting around easily. Complimentary breakfast is served every morning from 6:30am to 9:30pm which is a great start to the day, and such yummy food! There is heaps to choose from, waffles, eggs, toast, fruit etc and quite healthy. Water and drinks are also provided all day and night. We arrived very early in the morning and although our check-in time was 2pm, our room was ready at for us to get into at 9am!! Staff here are so helpful and went out of their way to do whatever we needed. Laundry is located on ground floor if you need to wash clothes. We also had free WiFi in the rooms, no need for a cable to connect to a laptop, and computers in the lobby with free internet as well which comes in handy for getting things done or checking emails and tours. There is a tour guide in the lobby also, he has very reasonable prices and very helpful when you are unsure about things. I can recommend this hotel 100% and will definitely stay there again when I am next visiting Hawaii. The only thing I could fault is the level noise outside on the street, which is not the hotel's fault. I would guess this is a problem at most hotels on Oahu! Keep in mind also that this is a boutique hotel, which I honestly prefer over a crazy busy noisy big hotel. Quieter and seems to be alot more friendly overall.

Room Tip: We chose the Executive Suite, which has a massive king bed, couch that folds out to a sofa, 1.5 bath...

“Was ok, but doubt it would be 7th best...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Overall hotel was ok, we had booked it based on the trip advisor ranking, so were a little disappointed when we got there. There was nothing really "bad" about the hotel, just expected something a little nicer for over $200 per night. The breakfast was pretty terrible, "hot breakfast" which consisted of boiled eggs and chipolatas. There was also cold continental items such as cakes and cereals, but overall breakfast was very average. Would rather have paid less for the hotel and got a decent breakfast from outside. The other complaint was the noisy air conditioning which didnt work very well. Apart from that everything else was pretty standard. If i knew i would have definitely booked a cheaper hotel and probably would have had the same experience. Not horrible, but would never stay again for that price.

Aloha,

We are sorry to hear that our complimentary continental breafast did not meet your expectations. We are constantly making new additions to our menu to offer a better variety for our guests. This year we have added our hot menu items which consists of scrambled eggs and link sausage, which has gotten great responses. We understand that everyone has different tastes in food, therefore reccommendations for other items are always taken into consideration if brought to our attention.
We also apologize for the noisy Air Conditioning unit. Unfortunately, widow units can never be as quiet as centralized air conditioners, but we try our best by performing regular maintenance on them. Thank you again for your review as it will help us in our continual strive for the best.

“Great place to stay and away from the crowds”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for 3 nights and we are so glad that we were a few blocks away from the crowds. You can walk to shopping, restaurants, beach in less than 10 mins. It was a great room over looking the waterway. Staff was great and our room was very clean and comfortable. Would stay here again in heartbeat, Great with our daughter having free breakfast and drinks all day for free.
