Let’s see how people review this hotel

My husband and I recently stayed at The Breakers for the second time. We were originally searching for a hotel with old Hawaiian vibes and this place was perfect. We didn’t want a busy high rise resort. Built in 1954 it’s like a time capsule. There were original features in the rooms that we loved. Our room was very clean. There are beautifully kept gardens surrounding the pool. The beach is only 1 block away. We were able to walk to most places we wanted to go to and the bus stop was close by to get to other areas. There’s an ABC store right across the road which was handy. All the staff were so friendly and very helpful. It was a great quiet retreat after walking the busy streets. We absolutely love this place and already can’t wait to go back. - SimH77

We are loyal Breakers customers. My wife and i have been coming here for many years (missed the last 2 due to stupid Covid), we have introduced our son and daughter to this gem and this year our grandkids. This time around we stayed for two weeks and my family , six of them, arrived on the second week to surprise my wife for her birthday. The Breakers staff were all in on the setup and it all added to a wonderful and special time. We caught up with some regulars and made new friends with other regulars, my grandkids absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere and the pool. Much has been said about the dated decor and noise level but its the location, cleanliness, caring staff and old time Hawaiiana atmosphere that rises above it all that will always bring us back. Also, the hotel is conveniently located on bus routes, within walking (20-30 minutes) distances to Ala Moana Mall, saturday kaka’ako farmer’s market, Rainbow Drive In, etc. There are tons of affordable meal options when you don’t want to splurge like the Steak Shack, Foodland Farms, Don Quijote supermarket and Iyasume Musubi. Local delights like Poke, Acai bowls , bento boxes and musubis are so delicious and cheap and close by to the hotel. - simonlU6602CH

This little hidden gem in the heart of Waikiki did not disappoint! I love everything retro with mid-century vibes. Not your cookie-cutter slick, modern hotel, but that's why I love it. Staff at front desk were very warm and friendly. The bed and was comfortable and clean, as was the bathroom. I had a room on the 2nd floor with a lanai to sit out on and enjoy the Hawaiian breeze. There is an ABC store right oppisite, and the beach is super close. Next door is Waikiki Tea, which has delicious tea lattes and crepe cakes. Wasabi sushi restaurant on hotel premises was also very good. Stayed here for a long layover Sydney to LAX. This will be my place to stay on future visits to see family in Australia. - razzydear
