General description:............................(Back to top)

  • The Waikiki Shore Hotel was built in the year 1960. It has 15 floors totaling 168 rooms . It is located on Waikiki beach between the Outrigger Reef Hotel and a park that is part of the former Randolph Gun Battery now a Military Museum.
    This hotel has a small lobby and common area and no swimming pool or other amenities what makes the property look more like a residential condo than a hotel, it does however have several shops on the ground level towards the beach. All the units have full kitchens and are Studios, one bedrooms or two bedrooms. The hotel, like many others in Waikiki, provides parking but it must be paid separately and is very expensive.
    At any given time several different companies manage units at his hotel such as Castle Hotels and Resorts (this is the company that is in charge of the front desk), Outrigger Hotels and several vacation rental companies.

What we like about this hotel:............................(Back to top)

  • It is the only condo with real kitchens on Waikiki beach and you can not ask for a better location since there are only a hand full of buildings on that stretch of beach.
  • The rooms tend to be more spacious than a hotel because they were originally built as permanent dwellings rather than transient ones.
  • The kitchens in these units are a lot better equipped than most other so called kitchens in the Waikiki area.

What you may not like about this hotel:............................(Back to top)

  • Parking is VERY limited and expensive even for hotel guests, so you may want to think again about renting a car.
  • Studios tend to be regular size rather than "bigger than normal" that was mentioned above and they also darker than the other units so you may want to stay away from those.
  • Based on the hotel's quality, it should be a lot cheaper than it is but the lack of other alternatives on the beach allows them to get away with charging higher rates.
  • To reach the lobby from the street you must go through a ramp or stairs what can represent a problem to those with mobility problems.
  • This hotel has been properly maintained but has never been thoroughly renovated other than cosmetic, it's over 40 years old and signs of it's age can easily be found.
  • Based on your particular needs and the objective of your trip, this hotel may have other pros and cons that you should consider, call us at (808) 394-2112 for more information.051211
