Royal Hawaiian not worth it

Michael R on Mar 01, 2026

My wife and I have stayed here many times dating back to 2003. Today we checked in and received an upgrade. That was nice but this hotel has no coffee in the room and it does not offer room service. Their cost savings has now made us think this is no longer a luxury hotel it’s not worth the money if you can’t get up relax and have a cup of coffee.

Glorious hotel - avoid the third floor historic wing

Christine G on Feb 25, 2026

I will be back after the grand reopening of The Pink Palace in 2027. We stayed 4 nights Feb 2026. This hotel is luxurious, accommodating, a bit dated, and historical. The grounds are true Hawai’i/not a concrete jungle. The spa was incredible. Oh, I have to mention: it’s haunted. We stayed in room 325, historical bldg.. On Sat evening, our TV turned itself on; the remote was 5 feet away from each of us. Then we heard teen girls running, crying, laughing down the hall. We opened our door to talk to them. They said something was happening in their room. Meanwhile a maid was hurrying past us. We all attempted to speak to her but she avoided us, rushing away, avoiding eye contact; she was scared. My teen daughter then googled “ haunted” hotel; we now know aren’t crazy. I tried to discreetly talk to the manager about this; he gaslighted me. Hence this post. We loved the beach ( rent chairs online in advance), restaurants, the staff- everything about this hotel is amazing- avoid the third floor, though.
