The hype
Location is a 10/10, but the facility is a 6/10 unless you pay up for a renovated room.
Sheraton Princess Kaiulani
$180-300/คืน
จองหาก You want the absolute best location in Waikiki for the lowest price and plan to use your room only for showering and passing out.
ทำไมคนถึงชอบ
- Unbeatable location directly across from Waikiki Beach
- Ainahau Tower rooms offer legit ocean views for half the price of the Moana Surfrider
- Nightly live music at Splash Bar creates a fun, retro-tiki vibe
สรุปด่วน: A legendary budget-friendly crash pad that relies heavily on its prime location to distract you from the dated carpets and thin walls.
รีวิวโดย @ctouchard: I felt like Cinderella checking into this crew room after leaving a penthouse! It's small and looks right at a parking lot, but the remodeled bathroom is actually fantastic. Honestly, for a quick 24-hour layover in Waikiki, it’s exactly what I needed—clean and simple.

Reality check
Many guests feel 'catfished' by booking a standard room and ending up in the unrenovated wings with popcorn ceilings and tub/shower combos that have seen better decades.
- You prioritize spending money on surf lessons and poke bowls over luxury linens
- You want to stumble out of bed and be at Duke's or Marukame Udon in 3 minutes
- You enjoy a lively, somewhat chaotic resort atmosphere with constant activity
ความสะอาดและการบำรุงรักษา
6.5
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. Daily service is standard, but reports of missed dust and hair in corners are common in older rooms.
- Bathroom hygiene: Ainahau Tower bathrooms are modern and clean. Older wings have peeling grout, rust on fixtures, and 'permanent' stains in tubs.
- Maintenance: The older wings are showing their age—expect slow drains, loose outlets, and chipped furniture. Ainahau is solid.
- Linens & towels: Towels are often described as 'scratchy' and 'thin'. Bedding is standard Marriott white, generally clean but not luxe.
- Odors & scents: The lobby smells like flowers; the Kaiulani Wing hallways smell like humidity and old carpet.

ก่อนที่คุณจะจอง
สิ่งที่ควรรู้
- The resort fee ($49.55/night) includes a GoPro rental for one day—reserve it immediately upon check-in as they run out.
- There is no room service, but you can order takeout from Splash Bar.
- The 'gym' situation has been in flux, sometimes located in a converted ballroom—check current status if you're a fitness diehard.
สิ่งที่ควรเตรียมตัว
- High-quality earplugs or a white noise machine
- A power strip (outlets in older rooms are scarce and loose)
- Reusable water bottle (filling stations are available in the lobby)
Room Genie
เลือกสรรยอด
- Ainahau Tower, High Floor (20+), Ocean View — recently refreshed, better noise insulation, stunning views.
- Ainahau Tower 'Skyline' view for a cheaper option that still gets the renovation benefits.
ห้องที่ควรหลีกเลี่ยง
- Any room in the Kaiulani Wing (oldest, darkest, mustiest)
- Princess Wing low floors (direct line of fire for pool noise)
- Rooms near the elevator bank in Ainahau (constant dinging)
Room Request Genie – คัดลอกและวาง
“I am requesting a room in the AINAHAU TOWER, specifically a 'High Floor Ocean View' if available. Please avoid the Kaiulani Wing and low floors facing the pool due to noise sensitivity.”
คำถามที่พบบ่อย & เคล็ดลับที่ซ่อนอยู่
ทุกสิ่งที่คุณต้องการรู้จริงๆ ก่อนที่จะจอง
Is the pool heated?
No, and it gets very little sun in the afternoon due to the tower shadows. It can feel surprisingly chilly.
Can I walk to the beach?
Yes, you are literally across the street. Walk through the hotel driveway, cross Kalakaua Ave, and you're on the sand in 2 minutes.
Is breakfast included?
Generally no, unless you have a specific package or high-tier Marriott status (Platinum+ gets a continental credit, but it's often described as 'meager').
How bad is the parking fee?
Painful. ~$45/day for self-parking. The garage is tight and spaces are small. Rent a car only for the days you leave Waikiki.
Are there laundry facilities?
Yes, coin-operated laundry is available on-site ($5 wash / $5 dry). Bring quarters or use the change machine.
Does the hotel have bed bugs?
Like many high-traffic Waikiki hotels, there have been isolated reports (including late 2024). Inspect your mattress seams immediately upon arrival, especially in the older wings.
เคล็ดลับท่องเที่ยว
- ✨
The 'Throwback Alley' pop-up on Fridays serves nostalgic local drive-in food for cheaper prices—ask the concierge if it's running.
- ✨
There is a secret shortcut through the back of the lobby to get to the International Market Place food court quickly.
- ✨
Don't pay for water—the ABC Store #38 is right next door for cheap drinks and snacks.
5 สิ่งที่ต้องรู้ก่อนเดินทาง
💡The 'Princess Wing' rooms have lanais (balconies) that are often staring directly at a concrete wall or the parking garage.
💡The elevators in the Ainahau Tower can take 10+ minutes during checkout time (10am-11am).
💡The 'resort fee' includes MiFi rental, which is actually useful if you have a bad data plan.
💡Carpet in the hallways of the Kaiulani Wing has a distinct 'wet dog' smell that never quite leaves.
💡You can hear the nightly hula show from the Moana Surfrider across the street if you're on a high floor facing the ocean.
