OHANA East

Nice location to the beach in 5 minutes walking distance and convenient around!

We read several traveler reviews about Ohana East before selecting. They were right on! Clean..nice..great location..friendly staff. We stayed at a luxury hotel on Waikiki last year & wanted to stay more days this time & take a few tours so we opted to stay at a hotel less costly & weren't disappointed.

The older Hawaiian Filipina receptionist was not helpful at all while checking in. She was not friendly or ask me any pertinent questions regarding a parking pass ($20 per day w/in and out privileges) or additional person to be on the room list. She definitely needs to work on that since I overheard other friendlier staff assist hotel patrons checking in. Too bad I didn't get her name, although I did leave a customer service satisfaction survey. Anyway, other than that, the hotel was pretty good in location to Waikiki, ABC stores, Starbucks, Food Pantry (less expensive than ABC for souvenirs) and some bars. Bathrooms were a bit small for a 2 double bed room.

Great value. Staff helped with every need and question. Central location, everything in walking distance. Grocery store across the street.

We found the location really suited our needs as we like to walk as much as possible and were able to reach the beach, restaurants, shopping etc., with no problem. The staff were very cheerful and helpful with any enquiries and we liked the fact there was a security officer patrolling at night. The room was bright and spacious and the fact that we had windows on two sides delighted us.

I stayed there to sleep for the most part. It had a small deck to sit out on. I enjoyed the experience.

Check in was not friendly, but maid servicer was as good as it gets. My room needed new mattress, could feel all the springs in it. Everything else seemed great.

If you like staying at a place that is clean, affordable, and located in the middle of the action, then Ohana East is a good choice. The rooms were clean and moderatly furnished. The TV was an old CRT, but we did not go there to watch TV. The shower was standard size with lots of water pressure and volume. The bathroom sink was small and did not hold all of my wifes stuff. The pool area was nice. The spa had the biggest back massaging bubbles I have ever felt. It felt and sounded like a big base drum massaging my back. We did not eat at any of the restraunts at this hotel.

This hotel has a great location, but needs quite a bit of updating. Our original room's balcony could barely allow one person to stand out there. We upgraded our room to a Penthouse Suite and by no means was it a Suite - there was a pull out couch - just like our original room had - and only ONE bed - whereas our original room had TWO. The best part of the Suite we upgraded to was the balcony - it was HUGE. The beds are incredibly UNCOMFORTABLE. Rooms were clean, needs some updating, the "free internet" was down in the rooms therefore the lobby was always crowded and not an ideal location to get things done as that was the only location you could get the free internet from during our entire stay. And not a single staff member informed us of the Free Shuttle available for us to use. Though the staff overall was nice to deal with.

It was kind of cheap so i didnt expact that much but it was way worse than I expacted :( Hotel front desk lady wasnt friendly at all....almost rude to me when I went to the desk to check in and out! and our room had a tiny tiny shower..I shouldve booked the hotel I had last time I went to Hawaii.. Their information desk lady downstairs is too busy to soliciting time sahres in Hawaii! Dont ask her for informations around she will follow you around! I will never go back to that hotel :(
