Excellent hotel, nice rooms. Not exactly beach-front, but 2 minute walk from beach. Convenient location. The biggest point is excellent hospitality by entire staff. When we stayed here in Dec. 2007, Leonor Wong was manager. The hotel was being rennovated, and there was a makeshift reception desk on 2nd floor. But the staff made it a point to see we... more

My new wife and I stayed here late October, on an unofficial honeymoon. I had done a lot of research to select a suitable hotel in Honolulu, as we had been travelling around with another couple for 2 weeks previous, and wanted to stay somewhere special, being alone at last!! Unfortunately, Hotel Renew, much like Honolulu itself, does NOT deliver... more

I booked this hotel because of its positive reviews, then was a bit worried after I read some of the forum topics regarding suspicions about fake reviews, but don't worry, it's a great hotel, and I think the abundance of one-time posters reviewing the hotel is due to the fact that they do ask guests if they wouldn't mind posting... more

My husband and I stayed at this small hotel for 7 nights in November/08. Given its No 1 status on this site, we expected a near- perfect experience. We were not disappointed. We had a lovely corner room (906) with lanai to the side and an ocean-front view. Pluses: cool welcome face cloth and pineapple drink. Bedroom contained contemporary, beautifully... more

Great customer service (Paul in particular was quite friendly and helpful) experience. Convenient to Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbor, and Oahu shopping/restaurants. No pool and small facilities/rooms keep this from being excellent, but it is a great value. more

The best thing about this hotel was the attitudes of the staff. Each and every one of them were accommodating, pleasant, helpful, and made us feel really welcome. Other pros were the delicious fresh breakfast provided every morning (fresh sliced fruit, muffins, cereal, yoghurts, coffee, tea, juice); the beach towels, chairs and umbrellas provided when needed; 1 block from the... more

For the me, this hotel is a gem in Waikiki. There is no restaurant or pool, but my preference is to stay in a small hotel with excellent service close to restaurants, beaches and other services. My wife, son, and I stayed in this hotel, in two rooms, for 7 days. The web site accurately portrays the hotel and the... more

We stayed at the hotel Renew for 9 days and it was everything we were looking for. Great service, healthy breakfast, a block from the beach, etc... The staff group was always ready to help and happy to do so. The breakfast always had great fruit, yogurt, granola and some great kind of local bread with chicken. I know... kind... more

We stayed at the Hotel Renew on our way home from New York to break up the trip at the start of November 2008. The hotel itself is one block back from the beach and within 5mins walking distance to most of the shopping in Waikiki (not completely central, but close enough). I dont think they have a pool which... more
