Shoreline Hotel Waikiki

If you plan to be outside most of the time, this hotel may be great for you especially how cheap it is. If staying for couple of nights, however, can be a little noisy. From my experience, I can hear neighbors closing their door and it wakes me up many times. Most of the nights, I can hear that the furniture are moving around for whatever reason from above and next of my room. Additionally, around late at night I hear people from outside yelling. Minds you, I was on floor 11 and I can still hear them clearly. Another thing I was quite annoyed was I kept receiving cards of respecting my privacy and therefore, not cleaning my room. I understand the act of courtesy and responsibility, but I just think that one card should be already enough. I also want to mentioned that I noticed my door is crooked to the point where an outsider can put through a pick made out of a metal string to unlock my door from the inside if that make sense. I was pretty worried about my security. The receptionists and valet employees are average. It'd be better if they give a better welcoming and a smile. It would make travelers to feel better when they had a stressful events like me. Ways of improvement: - need a better door and security - I recommend to build an elevator with the hotel room card to access - noise cancellation If you're looking for a valet parking connect to this hotel, it's the very first right of the hotel. You may see cars coming out, but it is a one way street. Be careful! It's a tight street way when there are cars parking. BUT, only if you want to pay 45$ for 24 hours. Otherwise, find a different parking spots. Hopes this help! Thank you! Read less

After staying 3x over several years, gifting family a stay, and recommending it to all who travel to Oahu, we won’t return after our latest stay. The aloha spirit at the front desk has severely deteriorated. The hotel itself seems to be poorly managed now. I could write a long list, but will highlight just a few mishaps. We weren’t allowed a late checkout even after explaining that rowdy noisy guests two doors from our room kept us awake (we did call to report,but noise level did not diminish) and we were tired. I myself worked at an inn for many years and we would not deny returning guests a late check out under these circumstances. Many of the amenities are simply not available, and when I asked about one specifically was told it’s stocked once a month and when it’s out, it’s out. What an attitude! And one minor annoyance is I asked for a simple shower cap from the housekeeping cart, was told to ask at the front desk (who did not once answer their phone in several tries over our 2 night stay, was told in person she couldn’t locate one, but they would deliver to room. They did not. Asked twice more over 2 days, finally told out of stock. To top it off, the once comfortable mattresses I used to rave about are no longer comfortable and are showing age. Such a disappointment. At check out was not asked if we enjoyed our stay, and when I offered up that I had a few issues, was met with total indifference. Read less

In Hawaii for a last minute trip and came across the Shoreline. It's located just a quick walk away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. For the location and time of year, the price was reasonable compared to other hotels in the area. I booked a room with a queen sized bed which was very comfortable. I slept very well at night despite hearing the AC at night, I personally didn't mind it. The room is very standard comes with all the amenities you need plus a welcome gift with snacks and Hawaiian Sun drinks which was very thoughtful. No coffee in the room, but every morning they have complimentary coffee from 6am-11am. I also received a $5 credit for the restaurant located next door. The room had a small balcony which was nice to sit at during the evening hours. I wasn't able to take advantage, but they do have pool on the 14th floor. The staff was great from check in to check out. They also have 24/7 valet for $45 a day which included in & out privileges. Will definitely return on my next visit. Keep in mind they do take a $100 incidental deposit that is refunded back into your account at check out. Thank you Shoreline! Read less

I stayed at the Shoreline Hotel Waikiki along with my wife for 4 nights in January 2025. I encountered a few problems here and there most of which were out of the staffs control but overall we had a nice stay. I do recommend this hotel especially if you are not looking to spend a lot of time in the room and will be planning to mostly enjoy the island/beach outside of the hotel. I'll start with some of the positives. The staff were always friendly and attentive. The location is fantastic. Its not beachfront of course but its pretty much in the middle of downtown Waikiki and its extremely easy to walk directly to the main shopping area, main street with all the restaurants, and Waikiki beach. Its just one block away to luxury shops filled main street which runs parallel to Waikiki beach. I easily walked from my hotel down the entirety of Waikiki beach every morning. I also loved the the Shoreline hotel was lit up with pink lights at night because it made it very easy to spot from the main street when walking back at night. There are a lot of people walking around this area and I felt very safe the whole time. There is Ross store almost directly across the street. There was a mini food plaza next door to the Shoreline hotel and an independent breakfast restaurant attached for direct and easy food access. You are within walking distance to the International Market place with tons of shops and cool restaurants and also the Waikiki Zoo. There were a lot of exercise and fitness people running around these wide main streets and beach areas. Now onto the Shoreline hotel itself and I should state for the readers that I'm not much of a fussy person and I sort of roll with the punches when encountering something unexpected while traveling. There was valet parking available which charge about $45 each day. There probably was public parking available somewhere although I did not see any on the same street as the hotel. I'd rather pay for the convenience but to all reading just don't leave any stuff in your car either way. When driving take an immediate left after the Shoreline hotel down the alley and you will see a ramp going up and hallway leading right into the lobby. The Shoreline hotel is trying to be like a modern art hotel with fancy furniture and colorful walls but was clearly quickly renovated without the nice finishing touches. Its interesting style and all but the rooms are not that great. The rooms feel like a box with kinda crappy "modern" furniture around but not much else. The bed sheets were clean but I did find a big hair in the bathtub which was so visible that I was astonished. The room size is fine and the bed was fine. We think that they were watering down the body wash and shampoo products. The shower did get nice and hot and the bathroom got so steamy it turned into a stream room. Some of the the furniture was a little rough as well but there was an adequate air conditioner. After we were back at night from walking around and going to restaurants etc., the hotel worked for us as we just hung out on the bed on our phones/laptops but if you want a really nice hotel room then just stay somewhere else. The room lodging rate was the cheapest around for an adequate room and a safe place to leave you luggage each day. If you are on a budget and will not spend a lot of time in the room then I do highly recommend based on location and ease. Now when I was visiting the Shoreline was doing construction on all the balcony's so I could not use mine. I was disappointed that I couldn't walk onto it. There was also a lot of construction sounds come Monday morning so it would be worth contacting the hotel to see if the construction has completed and if you will have access to your balcony or not. The stay would have been way better if we could have utilized the balcony. We did get to use the rooftop pool a couple of times. Its clean with a nice view of the surrounding city but sort of small pool area. On Monday I tried to access the rooftop pool and it was shut down due to construction. Read less

We are in this hotel right now. Serious issues with their fire alarm system. Announcement at 3 AM to evacuate building due to fire. After evacuating and waiting outside for around 15 mins we would all told it was a false alarm. Once again around 6AM alarm went off telling us to evacuate. Once we were in stairs heading down we were Once again told false alarm. 7AM announcement came on telling us to evacuate. We are leaving today, but alarm has gone off 2 more times again. I would not be staying here another night because there obviously is serious safety concerns and obviously not a good sleep Read less
