My husband and I have just spent 9 nights at this hotel. The food was fantastic the staff are very friendly and remember you, and what you like to drink or eat. We had a kitchenette which really was only a sink, coffee pot, hot kettle and toaster and microwave, but it did the job, we could relax first thing in the morning. There is a shop right there to buy the basics from. Room 306 is the best, 208 is noisy as it is above the coffee shop below. Great view of the park from our room and al little of the beach. Lovely beach not too crowded. The restuarant is right on the beach! Wonderful sunsets. Some rooms are small, but they are clean. Higlhly recommend this hotel.

I was so disappointed in the accomodations that I would have booked another room at another hotel. Upon walking in the room we were met with formica countertops, old tube TV, very small bathroom with louvered sliding pocket doors. I complained to the front desk that this is not what was pictured online and he told me that I had booked a moderate room. He asked if I had a picture or anything from what I saw online. The valet attendant was asked to show us 2 other rooms and was very helpful. He told us that they had been renovating the rooms and which ones were newly furnished and had flat screen TV's. We went back and ended up getting put moved to a renovated room. The location is great! Away from Wakiki, but a great stroll through the park. San Souci beach is secluded and a very nice mix of people due to the W Hotel next door. Beware that the Wonder Bar is located in the W Hotel next door and is a popular venue for young people on Saturday nights. Parking is great as well. We did not use valet parking but parked in the metered parking across the street. Parking is free after 6pm . Definately check out the South Shore Grill up the street on Monserrat. Great fish tacos and sandwiches!

This hotel is highly recommended for honeymooners or family looking for a quiet relaxing Hawaii vacation. The New Otani is the first hotel located on quiet side of Kapiolani Park (west side). It is an older hotel that has been remodeled, hotel is in good shape considering it takes abuse from salt air all year long. The staff keeps the rooms clean, beds are clean and comfy and air conditioning works great. We rented ?park view room? desk offered two options: Larger room approx 350sqft had sink and microwave and farther away from beach in a hotel addition (better for families), Smaller room was approx 200sqft, only had mini fridge but the view of the beach was fantastic (better for couples). We are used to smaller euro hotel rooms so we chose the smaller room with fantastic view. Because there are very few hotels around, the beach is not crowded and very clean, the evenings are quiet and the mornings are very peaceful. Hotel restaurant is Japanese and quite expensive. But every place to eat in Waikiki is expensive. The only real negative is you have to walk half mile to get to busy area of Waikiki and nearest ABC store. This hotel will work best for people who rent a car, (bring your own GPS, or rent one). Hotel parking is $/day or if you get lucky you can park for free at the park (read signs carefully). You can drive yourself to places like Pearl Harbor, Hanauma bay, Dole pineapple farm, and Polynesian center and save a lot of tour bus / taxi money.

Two separate stays at this hotel over a week period. It is on the beach but outside of the high traffic area. Very quiet with excellent service and great food. Parking costs $18 per day but is worth it as spots on the street are hard to come by anywhere near the beach. Many weddng parties were seen but we did not see the facilities. Very easy access from airport. Absoultely no compliants. Best value for the money that I saw.

We got to the hotel and they had up greated are room to an ocean veiw. The staff was friendly and always willing to help. Food was good and the view of the ocean and Waikiki at the restuarant wonderful. If you want quit and relaxed this is the place and only a short 10 min walk to Waikiki. Beach was not crowded and park is next door.
