What guests think

At Stay Hotel Waikiki, travelers highlight a superb central location near Waikiki Beach and consistently friendly staff, while noting basic, dated rooms and frequent urban noise from the street, nearby construction, and a downstairs karaoke bar.

Many describe the hotel as clean overall, though some report cockroaches, worn carpets, and occasional odors. Facilities are simple: limited paid parking, free laundry, lobby coffee/snacks, and beach gear to borrow. Wi‑Fi and in-room AC can be inconsistent, and blackout curtains are lacking. Expect a budget, no‑frills stay in a prime spot.

My room was nothing like the pictures. It was an old room that was renovated. Very basic. Air conditioning was good, even turned it down because it was cold. Room could have another bed, it was a single queen. Close to International Marketplace, location was good! Parking is tight, don’t bring a big vehicle. There was no parking available for me when I arrived, so I was instructed to try parking next to ala wai canal, or a couple other places, which were all full. Drove for 2 hours all over the area to park and every hotel parking was full. I ended up parking the first night at the Target at the International Marketplace parking structure. No in and outs, and single night overnight parking was $60. About 3 blocks from hotel. Apparently the security gate was broken at the hotel and someone who wasn’t supposed to be there had taken a space. Next day gate was fixed, and was able to park with room key. $47 a day parking with in and out privilege. Don’t expect plush here. You get what you pay for and you should accept that it is what it is. If you want better, pay 3x the price and go there. But they did have free coffee in the room and in the lobby. 2 block walk to 24 hour McDonalds if desperate to eat when everything is closed. ABC store closeby.

3 minutes to walk to the beach. Parking in wakiki is a very expensive, But you can park in the Waikiki shell overnight for free. It's about 17 minutes walk from this hotel to the Free parking lot, And five minutes driving. This hotel charges about $17 Facility fee, including WiFi, Free coffee in the daytime, beach towel, beach chairs and some water toys, And also laundry.

I will definitely be booking again. Stay hotel is honestly one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in Waikiki. It’s perfect cause it’s near everything but still out of the way so it’s not crowded. The room that I stayed at was perfect for me and my partner he came with a microwave and refrigerator which is hard to come by now a days. They have amenities like beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, washer and dryer, and even pool floats. They also have this really great karaoke bar on the first floor which was really fun.

Cancelled our booking because they did not have enough parking stalls. It looked as if there was less than 10 stalls total. We were not given other options to park. The desk staff let us know that if we cancelled, they would still charge us for a night. We cancelled as we were transporting hula implements in our vehicle for the show in Waikiki. I was notified by Expedia’s customer service that the parking is first come first serve. I let them know we needed parking for our vehicle and booked with another hotel that had sufficient parking. We were refunded for one of the two nights of our original booking. Thank goodness we are locals and can find our way around. I would feel bad if this happened to tourists.

It’s really outdated and dirty the floors in the bathroom not clean at all I put a towel on the floor to step and the towel was super dirty. The couch was ripped and the curtains had holes most of them they were really old. The only good thing was the coffee and the bar lounge downstairs closes at 2am and my kids couldn’t sleep due to all the noise and singing from the bar.

The staff were great, the suite spotless, the location is a short walk to the main beach in Waikiki. This was my third time at STAY Waikiki over the last 20 years. Just a few heads up - STAY use an app based TV service which I find clunky -2- the resort fee among the lowest in town which you will be charged on check-in. If you happen to be a foreigner the exchange can be jarring as I was unable to pay U.S. Cash which I had. A lot of businesses have gone cashless on the island. STAY compromised a bit- Thank You.

I don’t think this property should classify as a 3-star hotel. It’s more like a 2-star. For the positives: 1. The location is great 2. The rooms are spacious For the negatives: 1. The biggest negative is that the windows are just glass louvres that don’t provide any noise insulation and so you can hear everything on the street which makes it difficult to sleep. 2. The curtains are thin and don’t block out the light. 3. The bed was ok but I wouldn’t say comfortable 4. The staff are nice enough but provide only a perfunctory service. 5. They charged extra for wifi and coffee and tea, which was a not much of an offering. Basically just a communal domestic coffee machine. 6. The shower was not great and there was no plug to have a bath. 7. The Airconditioner was extremely loud I ended up staying in Waikiki longer than I originally planned but decided to move hotels because I couldn’t sleep properly and got a much better 3-star hotel for about the same price and location.

Hotel is located very close to the beach and where you want to be in Waikiki. Pretty bare bones, small rooms but I like easy access, no fuss and inexpensive. wish they'd upgrade fawcets in shower, hard to regulate temp and flow. Seem like they're not chargint an extra $15/day for amenities (I think that's towel service) which is a significant increase for a low cost hote.

They checked me in with a lower grade room than what i booked. The receptionist Jocelyn insisted that the room I booked was sold out long time ago and this lower grade room was the best room they could provide me, and pushed the responsibility to Expedia. Throughout the whole conversation, her attitude was extremely terrible, no customer service mindset and skills at all, and at the end of the conversation she even started yelling. I escalated to their manager but had to stay in that lower grade room for 3 nights and then the manager shifted me to the right room that I booked for the last two nights. Besides the terrible receptionist, the hotel should not straight away down graded the room for me without asking my acceptance and insisted that was the best option I could have. Terrible experience.

Very difficult to check in through the counter. I booked in 4 people, 2 CEOs and 2 Directors. We checked in at around 12 midnight after very tiresome flights just hoping for a good rest ASAP but unfortunately our check in turned into a nightmare especially that it cost me more as the booking was with my card. Cutting a long story short some of us were not able to pay with our cards and we offered to pay cash but was not allowed either. Due to this issues we have to cancel some of the booking and were rebooked at walkin rate. I have been to other hotels in Hawaii and were more flexible and facilitative. This is my first and last exprience with Stay Hotel.

This location is ideal for walking to the beach and is easily within walking distance to the main strip. I was given beach chairs both days that I asked and staff was always friendly and willing to accommodate. Coddle and flavored creamer in the lobby was great. There is a club in the hotel, but it was never a problem as far as noise. This was a simple reasonable hotel near everything, but no view if that’s what you’re looking for. I would definitely stay here again. It met my needs.

This is a good budget hotel. They acknowledged my repeat business with a small token and had local snacks available to sample. I was able to check in early (a huge deal since my flight arrived before 11 am). Fresh coffee in the morning was nice. My only complaint is they have WHITE curtains so basically any light outside is magnified inside. It was almost midnight when I retired but you'd never have known it. I get that a budget hotel can't afford high-end blackout drapes but a darker color would help.
