We had a lovely weeklong stay at Ohana Waikiki East. This hotel is a short 2.5 block walk to the beach. The staff is top notch. We were always greeted with a friendly smile by every staff member we encountered. We had a two bed Waikiki view room. It smelled a bit musty upon first entry but then I never noticed it again. I imagine that’s just due to the climate. Room was impeccably clean and housekeeping was exceptionally friendly. Yes, the rooms are a bit old, but this hotel met our budget and the staff more than makes up for the age. Rooms have a small Balcony that just barely fits two chairs and a small table. Some things I wish I would’ve known when packing: beach towels are provided at the front desk and there is a drop box in the lobby for them upon return. Our room had a nice sized fridge and there is a communal microwave available in the exercise room. Pool is currently being renovated. Mahalo!

Clean condo, beautiful ocean view! You can watch the whales from your condo while sipping morning coffee! Cost was average and well worth the location! Beach was under water though, so we had to utilize the neighbouring complex’s beach or on other days we found a public beach. There’s lots within walking distance too. Staff a very friendly, and helpful, the pool is great and bbq area is nice.

This was like our 5th time staying here. We arrived very late and the room on level 18 seemed really small (queen beds instead of doubles?) so we switched to the 4th floor. The woman checking us in had no idea on the room layouts. Oh well. Very small lanai. Our maid, Ann was really really nice and one of the valets gave us much Aloha. We will stay here again and hope that the pool will be ready (jackhammering all day long...) Hopefully can stay on the 14th floor again.

We recently stayed at Ohana East for 2 weeks . Jan 4 - Jan 18 2023. We loved our stay , the staff are so nice and helpful . Hotel is in a great location . We knew before booking the pool was being renovated which didnt bother us as we spent our days in the ocean . Would definitely recommend Hotel and would definitely stay again

Don’t let the pictures on booking sites fool you. I would have been ok with outdated, but the rooms are run down. The sliding patio doors, barely block any outside noise. The bathrooms are incredibly small. The beds are not comfortable. We originally were given room 201- it felt like a closet with a view of the jack hammered pool and then room 607 had no hot water in the shower. Front desk staff were not overly willing to help, especially when we checked in and it was 11:00 pm and I was so distraught with the room. However, Jason ( I believe he was a manager) was very accommodating which I was thankful for. This hotels feels like should be $89/night not hundreds a night. Unfortunately I would most definitely not recommend.
