Outrigger Luana Waikiki

I stayed at the Luana for 8 days with my friends. We rented a car and the hotel had a fantastic parking for only $10/day! The rooms were comfortable, each with lanai and a kitchenette area which proved really useful! The beds seem to be made of the memory foam, but they were really comfy. The service was impeccable - the rooms were clean, the staff in the lobby was helpful and friendly. They even loaned us boogie boards for our trips to the north shore. The breakfast was modest but I think they were undergoing renovation. The pool is small and a bit awkward but the gym is good and there is a coin laundry in the building. The location is fantastic, right on Kalakaua Ave you are near everything. The beach is a block away and the views even from the city side were fantastic (can't bean sunrise, and full moon and the mountains) I would go there again and recommended it to all. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because I reserve it for the Royal Hawaiian.

great

Was OK for the price.

Good stay on a low budget. Ten minute walk to the beach. Easy access to a variety of shopping and dining options.

The hotel staff was helpful and called you by name.

We had studio room with kitchenette including cooktop and microwave. It was so convenient to eat breakfast in the room and have the ability to pack picnic lunches. We even ate a couple of dinners on the balcony of the room on nights after very active days. It's a big saving of money and time to have a kitchenette. The hotel is not fancy but clean and nicely decorated. The property was updated about 4 years ago. Desk staff and housekeeping were very helpful. Location on De Russy park gives open, green views and easy access to jogging or walking trail. Hotel is on quieter end of Kalakua Ave. and, as Waikiki hotels go, it's well-placed to go to Nimitz highway, the H-1 or points west and north of Honolulu. Just 15 minutes from the airport. While traffic noise in Waikiki is unavoidable, the inside of the hotel is very quiet-solid construction means you don't hear people in neighboring rooms or water running, etc. Highly recommend it as a good value and pleasant spot.

We enjoyed having a safe place to park,convenient location

This was our first trip to Hawaii, for a nephew's wedding and our 30th anniversary. The entire property was spotless--we even saw them scrubbing the garage driveway! All was well-lit, all brass shiny. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was wonderful, great view and plenty of storage spaces. Bed and sofa comfortable. Loved the marble floors, so much cleaner than carpets. The kitchenette had everything--but bring your own coffee and sugar. We cooked breakfasts and a full dinner with brownies for dessert. Surrounded by the Fort DeRussy Military Park, it was a very quiet location and only a short walk to shopping and the beach. You will be shocked by grocery prices, so hold out for a Foodland, much cheaper than the Food Pantry. Don't miss the Polynesian Cultural Center. Print out directions to the North Shore, it's a bit confusing if you go up the center of the island. Enterprise Car Rental is only a couple blocks away with great service. We had a WONDERFUL time!!

The Outrigger Luana Waikiki was a good value for the money. The room was very clean and maintained well while we were there. The hotel staff were very helpful on the phone and in person. They were honest about the noise level form the streets in different parts of the hotel. Upgrade to a partial oceanview room was only $10 more per evening and was very quiet in the evening given it's location on a busy road. The location on Fort DeRussey park was perfect for us because it was away from the busy tourist beach but in easy walking distance to it and all of the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed walking thorugh the park to get to the beach and enoyed watching Tai Chi class in the park form our balcony each morning. We had to park in another hotel lot for overflow which was a short block and half walk. No inconvience there either. PArking was always avialable so we did not try to change to the lot in our own hotel. The one drawback was that the pool closed at 9 and there was no hot tub. Otherwise-good hotel for the cost.

Our bed mattress was old and uncomfortable. It made a lot of creaking noise when rolling over, and I was not able to rest well. However, the room was overall very clean, and Seattle's Best Coffee Shop on site was very convenient. The location is a walking distance to Waikiki Beach.
