Great staff

Very helpful staff...unfortunately parking is VERY limited for hotel guest. Disappointed that we were directed to park across the street. Room is spacious with fridge and a hot water pot and mugs. Bring your own coffee or tea. Give youraelf extra time for the shower as the water pressure is low. Takes a bit to rinse your hair and body.

Queen Kapiolani is a good choice

Dave L on Jul 24, 2026

The hotel is conveniently located across from the Honolulu Zoo and a short walk to the beach. We had a view of Diamond Head (Le?ahi) which was nice. The hotel is located close to multiple bus stops which is a great way to get around if you buy a Holo card. The hotel itself is slightly older but has character and atmosphere. A/C works great off you need to cool off. The room we had was two queens and a seating spot and mini fridge. Overall a good value compared to other hotels we looked into. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The hotel provides towels for the pool or beach and beach chairs as well as boogie boards while they are available. The rooms were clean and the staff refilled our bathroom necessities. The noise level was fine but you can hear the plumbing and music occasionally. There is a gym with cold water and another watering station in the lobby to refill your bottles. Overall, a great hotel with great location and service.

Perfect and safe

I was traveling solo. My brother is a local and lives close to Diamond Head. He suggested this hotel, it was perfect! Across from the Zoo and large open spaces. The beach was 1 block away, Queens beach. Totally retro but kept up beautifully. My room was a Jr suite with Diamond Head view. Loved the balcony.
