I loved the location and how everything you needed was on property. 2 issues that weren't a huge deal 1. A few times during the day the elevators would not stop to take you down. We realized a hack that was to push the up button, ride it up then back down. We waited for more than 11 minutes one time to get down. 2. the pools are too small for that big of a property. It was next to impossible to find a pool chair. And pool service would be nice too. Othewise we had a great stay. Our room had everything we needed as it had a full kitchen. We would stay there again despite the pool and elevator situation.

This is a great choice for families. The location is unbeatable and the condo setup has many advantages over a standard hotel room. However, the experience can seem a little impersonal because the village is so large.

The room was great! We're a family of 4, but were able to make 2 double beds work for us. It was so nice to have a kitchen and a view from the balcony too. Hanging out in the room was nice, and then stepping out had so much to do!

The view, the location, Oceanfront amd beach views from our room was absolutely amazing. So many places to take pictures. Amazing experience. Even though I still give this resort a 5 stars., I only have one small blemish. I wish I could have had 3 beds in our two room suite. I understand It may not have been available, but it was one of the reasons why I chose this place. I tried calling in advance, and was told to wait at check in. Perhaps making it available to choose at the time of booking could fix this. The Manager seemed to be powerless in solving the issue. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place!

My family and I stayed here for the 2nd time and with kids, the Grand Waikikian Resort was such a perfect stay for us. This particular tower has ALL the amenities that is necessary for a family of four and two little kids. Full kitchen, washer and dryer IN our unit, sofa bed, and full-size bathroom. And not to mention the day we checked out, there is a full lounge rest area on the 8th floor where you can stay if you do happen to have a late flight. And not to mention the Hilton Village is a little town itself so we really didn’t have to leave the property throughout our trip. An added bonus to the Hilton property, the lagoon was so convenient for the little kids. Shallow, secluded, very kid friendly. Only downside, the pricing on lounge chair/umbrella or any rentals for the water will be very pricey. But will be staying here in the near future !

We loved our stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Grand Waikikian tower room 2602 in February 2024. Our room was gorgeous- 2 bedrooms & 2 bathroom ocean view room. We had ocean views from both balconies, one facing forward and the other towards Diamond Head. We did have buildings in front of us but we still could see the ocean and the fireworks on Friday. The room was luxurious. We liked the Kitchen. The room was ready for check in 2 hours earlier than expected. If I stayed in Waikiki again I would stay at the other end of the Waikiki beach as there is more restaurants and things to do down that end. The HV was beautiful but the food and drinks were very expensive on the property and not many other restaurants near by. Goofys cafe outside the HV property had wait times of 1 1/2 hours in the mornings.

I have used this property many times, but in this time the worst experience ever! Resort is great, only Grand Waikikian front desk staffs were horrible and ruined my vacations and BD. Choose different buildings like islander you have many options in this resort. I will never use Waikikian again! Grand waikikian charged another resort fees everyday even though already including the price on Expedia. It was not charged from another buildings, only Grand Waikikian charges double and secret, so watch out!

The couch in the living room was itchy and something bitted when I sat in the couch during my stay for bugs or ticks, causing my skin to swell. My nephews and I have been through these pains, and the quality of the sampoos and conditioners in the bathroom is so bad that I am suffering from hair loss after my trip

We loved our stay at th Grand Waikian. The staff was so friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. We stayed in a 2 bdrm which was nice. The rooms were a nice size and we loved having a full size kitchen. We had a paartial oceanview room Our only was that the second room had another king bed. As a family of 6 having 2 double sized beds would have been more suitable for our needs. The room was a good size We loved The walk to the beach amd shopping village was short and

The rooms are spacious and the location are views are breathtaking. But the facilities and staff left a lot to be desired. - We reached on a chilly day. The rooms have no heating and there are no space heaters. - First morning there was no hot water. Took multiple calls with maintenance to get an update on repair. - Elevators are always backed up and there is a queue during peak hours. We had to budget 5-10 minutes extra to just to get from our room to the lobby. - Our bathroom had a slight but distinct sewer smell. Overall communication with the staff was a bit poor and showed a lack of care on their part. I will look for a different property for our next Honolulu vacation.

we had a wonderful time during our stay. We had a beautiful ocean view. Our room had two bedrooms and a pull out bed, which fit our family of six. The kitchen and washer/dryer was nice to have. The Hilton village had a variety of restaurants and shops so we didn’t have to go far when we needed a quick bite to eat or needed to grab something from the grocery store. Everything was easily accessible.

Not recommended if you are looking to relax
Chose the Hilton Grand since we needed a room and a hotel that could accommodate our family's needs (washer dryer in the room and any pools for the baby). While the room and service were very good. we couldn't really relax during this vacation. The hotel is just MASSIVE. So many rooms all going to the 5 pools on the premises. The pools just couldn't contain the amount of guests. Pools were overflowing with people and not even one umbrella to protect them from the sun. This isn't something you expect from a Hilton (On the private beach they charged a whopping 40$ for an umbrella and chair). I would not recommend going to this hotel not for relaxing and not for anything else (since it is also a bit far from Waikiki Central)

This is an excellent hotel. Our room was spacious and we were happy to have a full kitchen. The hotel is immaculate, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there are multiple Hiltons all at this location all feeding to the same pools. The pools were crowded and not pleasant or restful. Luckily, the lagoon is outstanding! It’s, very large, perfect temperature water — not crowded at all. We love the lagoon. We recommend this hotel, but not if you want restful pool time.
