Our flight arrived in Honoululu early and we got to the hotel way before the check in time - but after travelling overnight - our family was tired and wanted a bed and shower before we hit Waikiki. The young man at the reception was great - he did not hesitate to check us in early and was more than... more

During the summer I stayed at the Waikiki Gateway for 2 months straight while working at the Marine Corps Base in Kaneohe Bay. My stay was very pleasant and the staff was exceptional. Initially I was given one of the "premium" rooms but I found this to be inadequte for a 2 month stay. I upgraded to the penthouse for... more

We stayed here on our last night in Hawaii as we had an early flight back to Australia the following morning. We had a hire car and were able to use their valet parking service (charge depends on whether you booked the hotel with them or through an agent). The room was average for a hotel and very warm -... more

This was my sixth visit to the Waikiki Gateway.....I e-mailed the fron Desk Manager before my return to Waikiki to make sure that the room I had requested would be available upon my arrival...he had "blocked" the room so that it was ready when I arrived in Honolulu. The night desk clerk could have been more accomodating, even an "Aloha"... more

Stayed this past summer. They are remodeling many of the floors of this hotel. The lobby is 5 stars...unfortunately you're not sleeping in the lobby. We were put in a remodeled room. The view was great...the location was great...the room however felt old and out dated even though it was remodeled. The price was great ($80). A fine hotel to... more

Staff was totally great to deal with "very nice" as well as the Concierge lady. Location was good too. Continental Breakfast a bit scarce, but it was better than nothing I guess. I'm a real stickler for clean bathrooms and these bathrooms were VERY Clean no dirt in crevaces or corners; linens on beds crisp and clean, towels so soft... more

We stayed at this hotel in January 2007. We were scared to stay here after reading all the bad reviews, but were surprised when we got there. It was a good hotel (for the price!) Pros: - Excellent Location - Nice view of a park from balcony - Nice big spacy room (and clean) - Great TV stations - Internet... more

I've stayed here 3 times and find it to be the best value in Waikiki. Each time my room has been clean and well maintained throughout my stay. On my last visit I was upgraded to a room with beautiful ocean and park views and 2 balconies. The parking area is small but I have never been turned away due... more

Although the room was small, the price was excellent ($84/nt. deluxe room). It is as it says, the Gateway to Waikiki. The room was clean. We only stayed for 2 nights. The bathroom did show signs of age and there was some mold in the corners if you looked really hard. The room was quiet and me an my 2... more

I spent 8 nights at the Gateway and i have no serious complaints, I really enjoyed it. The lobby, which has just been renovated, has a japanese theme to it and as such is very clean and orderly. the rooms were adequate with two double beds, decent sized bathroom and balcony. there were no cigarette smells or stains on the... more
