What is Travellers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travellers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Located in the heart of Waikiki, the renovated Pacific Monarch is located just 2 short blocks to world-famous Waikiki Beach and steps to the area's best shopping, dining, and nightlife. The hotel features spacious studios and one-bedroom suites, a restaurant, rooftop pool, jet spa, sauna, sundeck, coin-operated laundry facilities and Parking is available for a fee.
Our one bedroom with kitchenette was perfect for our 10 day Oahu stay. Pacific Monarch was close to everything, including a great grocery store. The hotel is smaller and not luxurious but it is super clean and secure. The staff were all very helpful and friendly, the pool was awesome and our oversized deck with a partial ocean view was perfect. It's a bit noisy in the city but that's what you get for convenience! We were only a block and a half from Waikiki Beach. Would definitely stay again!

Well located. Friendly staff. Obviously an older hotel and our room was somewhat dated but very clean. The roof has a great view. Easy walk to beach and restaurants. We didn't have any problems with noise but were on a higher floor. Front desk and housekeeping staff warm and friendly and very helpful. The stairway between roof and pool had a wet rotten smell, but otherwise the hotel was clean.

really a nice experience. Staff was extremely pleasant. Rooftop was great, great views! Rooms are exceptionally quiet and housekeeping performed wonderfully! Nothing loud or obnoxious about this place.

we have stayed at this hotel twice now and both times was very good experience. We love how central the hotel is to everything including being one block from the beach. The price per night find very reasonable and the hotel itself is not super fancy but is very nice and clean with a nice, helpful staff.

Stayed November 1-29 in unit 2902. Bedroom with two cupboards and a chest of drawers, sitting room with couch and dining table (nice furniture). Gorgeous view over Diamond Head and the ocean. Huge lanai with table and chairs (we had all our meals outside). Beach towels available on demand. Unfortunately the good beach chairs are kept overnight by selfish guests when they should be returned at the end of each day (we bought our own from Walmart, a little over $10). Location: perfect. One block from the beach in the middle of it all (shops, restaurants, etc.). This year, the long-closed Food Pantry has been replaced by the superb Waikiki Market which is only one block away and has everything you need. It is understandably crowded after 5 p.m. The offer is top quality. Reception: very pleasant and helpful. Housekeeping: superb, worthy of a ***** hotel: sheets, towels changed every day, coffee, tea, soap, washing-up liquid available at all times. Plenty of pots and pans, two ovens, Gaggenau range. Everything is spick and span. Our only problem was with pot smoking around us. My wife is severely allergic. We called the reception twice but discovering the culprit(s) is impossible in a high rise so we just stopped. In any case the problem is everywhere in Waikiki--strangely enough people get hysterical if they get a whiff of tobacco smoke but pot seems to be O.K. Deplorable indifference. We had been renting privately for three years in the Pacific Monarch but we discovered this year that it is MUCH better value to book in the hotel. …

This was not our first stay at the Pacific Monarch; however, the recent upgrades made it the best one yet!! The rooftop pool (highest in Waikiki) area is absolutely stunning now with all new flooring, paint, tile, and furniture. The two gas BBQ grills worked flawlessly. Bed was very comfortable and the A/C worked great. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The sunset views are spectacular and we were even able to watch the Friday night fireworks show from our room. We highly recomend this hotel to any and all friends going to Hawaii.

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay in a studio near the end of November. The location couldn't have been better - walking out of lobby there were restaurants, scooter rentals, and beach was only 2 blocks away. We used the jacuzzi on the roof which had an amazing view for sunrises. Staff was friendly and it was very convenient to be able to check out beach chairs and towels from the front desk. We parked our rental at the adjacent Pacific Monarch garage ($35) which was a little more expensive than lots a couple blocks,.but it was worth it for the convenience. We made several meals in the kitchen in our studio which meant we didn't have to eat all of our meals out, saving us money and time to spend exploring Oahu.

We just needed a Staycation. Good location. If we do that again I'll bring food for the BBQ. Pool area was nice. We had a suite. So we had a great view. We only stayed one night . Hot tub was good... not great but it did the job. Parking is pricey. No local discounts on that.

Great Location, only 2 blocks from Waikiki beach. Great views from the room were a highlight. Generally worn out condition/shabby room interior could really use updating. Lots of noise from plumbing fixtures etc. kept us awake. No central AC, only a "rattler" in the living room, nothing for bedroom. Parking was expensive, room keys kept breaking. Pool area was ok, a bit run down.
