Methodology: learn how we calculate these charts
The charts “Which days have the lowest hotel rates?”, “Which month has the best hotel rates?”, “How far in advance should I book?” and “How much do hotels cost by star rating?” are built from the nightly rates Priceline customers actually paid for hotels in Honolulu, grouped by check-in month, day of the week, how far ahead they booked (up to 90 days) and the hotel’s star class.
Where a place has too few bookings to fill every point in a chart, we borrow the shape of the curve from nearby places with similar prices and fit it to the rates booked here.
Because past rates don’t reflect today’s market, each chart is then fitted to the rates found in this page’s current search: its value at the search’s own check-in month, day and booking lead time is set to the current good-deal rate.
The Good to Know deal cards and the hotels listed on this page come directly from that recent search, not from historical bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the typical check-in and check-out times at Honolulu hotels?
Standard check-in at most Honolulu hotels is around 3:00 PM, with check-out typically by 11:00 AM. Confirm exact times with your booked hotel and ask about early check-in or late check-out options, as these may incur additional fees.
Is breakfast usually included in the room rate?
Breakfast inclusion depends on your booked rate type. Many Waikiki hotels do not include breakfast unless specified, unlike some mainland hotels. Confirm at booking or with the hotel front desk.
Does the hotel offer airport transportation from Honolulu International Airport (HNL)?
Some hotels offer shuttle or shared-ride services from Honolulu International Airport (HNL), which is about 9 miles (14.5 km) from Waikiki. Taxis, rideshares such as Uber or Lyft, and city buses (TheBus) are also widely available. Check the hotel’s property page for specific shuttle offerings and fees.
What are common cancellation and modification policies for Honolulu hotels?
Cancellation policies vary significantly by rate type, such as flexible versus non-refundable options. Always review the specific policy displayed at booking, as it will list deadlines and any potential penalties or change fees.
Are there resort fees, local taxes, or additional charges added to the room rate?
Many Honolulu properties charge taxes and a daily resort or amenity fee, frequently ranging from US$15 to US$50 per night. These fees cover services like pool access, fitness centers, or beach gear and are often added at checkout. Verify the total cost before arrival.
Is parking available at hotels, and what does it typically cost?
On-site parking is available at many Honolulu hotels but can be limited and expensive in Waikiki and downtown areas. Expect to pay US$15 to US$60 per day for valet or self-parking. Check rates and reservation requirements with your hotel.
Are pets permitted in Honolulu hotels?
Hotel pet policies vary; many allow only service animals, while some properties are pet-friendly for dogs with advance notice and additional fees, typically from US$15 to US$100 per night. Confirm the hotel’s specific pet policy before traveling.
Is Wi-Fi free and reliable at hotels in Honolulu?
Free Wi-Fi is common in hotel public areas, but in-room Wi-Fi may be complimentary or charged depending on the property and room type. Reliability is generally good, but confirm speeds and fees if you need high-bandwidth service.
Are accessible rooms and services available for guests with disabilities?
Most Honolulu hotels provide ADA-compliant accessible rooms with features such as roll-in showers, grab bars, and visual alarms. Due to limited inventory, reserve early for accessible rooms and request specific equipment or services when booking to ensure availability.
What payment methods are accepted, and is a credit card hold required?
Major credit cards are widely accepted for payment in Honolulu hotels. Most hotels require a credit card for a pre-authorization or deposit at check-in, usually to cover potential incidentals. Check the hotel’s payment policy beforehand.
Are there childcare or family-friendly amenities available?
Many hotels offer cribs or pack-and-plays, connecting rooms, and family packages. Babysitting or childcare services may be available through the hotel or third-party providers, but availability and fees vary, especially during holidays and major events. Request these in advance.
What on-site amenities are commonly offered at Honolulu hotels?
Common amenities include pools, fitness centers, on-site restaurants and bars, and concierge or tour desks. Beach access in Waikiki is public, and some beachfront properties provide towels, beach gear, or water-sport rentals through partners.
How do hotels handle special requests like late arrival or dietary needs?
Most hotels can accommodate special requests such as late arrival, dietary restrictions, room upgrades, or celebration arrangements if notified in advance. During holidays and major events, availability may be limited, so contact the hotel or your travel agent prior to arrival.
What safety and security measures are typically in place for guests?
Hotels generally provide in-room safes and have 24/7 front desk and security personnel. Honolulu hotels post tsunami and emergency evacuation routes and provide emergency procedures. Ask staff at check-in about local risks and assembly points.
Are service animals and emotional support animals allowed in hotels?
Service animals required for disabilities are allowed under federal and state laws. Policies for emotional support animals vary by hotel, so confirm documentation requirements and any applicable fees with the property before arrival.
What local customs or etiquette should travelers be aware of in Honolulu?
Embracing 'Aloha etiquette,' which values polite, friendly behavior, is appreciated. Respect cultural and natural sites, avoid removing natural items, and use reef-safe sunscreen as guided. Tipping is customary for restaurant and service staff.
Can the hotel help book local activities and tours?
Concierges or the front desk can assist with reservations for activities like luaus, Pearl Harbor tours, Diamond Head hikes, snorkeling, and helicopter tours. Booking in advance is recommended for popular activities.
What should I know about beach and ocean safety in Honolulu?
Beaches around Honolulu can have strong currents and changing surf conditions. Lifeguards are stationed at many popular beaches including Waikiki, but coverage may vary by season. Always heed warning flags and hotel or local advisories, and review the City & County of Honolulu Ocean Safety site for up-to-date information.
What is the hotel policy on smoking and cannabis use?
Most hotels are non-smoking indoors and on property, and Hawaii has public smoking restrictions. Policies on cannabis use vary, but most hotels prohibit smoking or consuming cannabis on site. Confirm the property’s rules and potential fines for violations.
Are there laundry, dry-cleaning, or self-service facilities available?
Many full-service hotels offer valet laundry and dry-cleaning services, usually for a fee. Budget properties or extended-stay hotels often have on-site coin laundry, and local laundromats like Rainbow Laundromat are available in Honolulu.
What should I expect about room views and noise levels in Waikiki?
Waikiki is a busy tourist area, so rooms facing streets or nightlife may experience noise, while ocean-view rooms typically command premium prices. For a quieter stay, request a high-floor or interior-courtyard room in advance.
Are there language or cultural considerations for international travelers?
English is Honolulu’s primary language, but many hotel staff also speak Japanese and other languages due to Hawaii’s international visitors. If you have specific language needs, request bilingual staff or translation support ahead of arrival.
Top Tips
Reserve your Honolulu hotel 2-6 months in advance for peak seasons (December-March, summer), or 6-12 months before major holidays to access lower rates and a wider range of room types. Major local events like the Honolulu Marathon and Lunar New Year can significantly impact availability, so confirm event dates before booking.
Factor in Honolulu’s mandatory daily resort fees, typically $15 per night, and parking, which ranges from $15 to $30 per day, as these are rarely included in the advertised rate. Compare total stay costs before finalizing your reservation.
Choose your hotel for proximity to your planned activities. Hotels in Waikiki are within a 10-minute walk of beaches, restaurants, and nightlife, Ala Moana is ideal for shopping, and the North Shore, with fewer hotels, is known for surfing and quieter local culture.
Check the cancellation policy for your booking; many Honolulu hotels offer free cancellation up to 24-48 hours before arrival. This flexibility helps if flight times or weather conditions change unexpectedly.
Ask if your hotel provides complimentary shuttles, as some operate routes to Waikiki attractions or Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. Public transportation via TheBus costs $15 per ride, with stops at major hotels and destinations.
Request a resort fee breakdown on arrival; hotels may include extras like daily beach gear, fitness center access, or Wi-Fi in the $15 fee. Details can vary, so confirm these inclusions during check-in.
Request a room on a high floor facing Diamond Head for city or ocean views, or select a courtyard or back-facing room for less noise. Honolulu hotels often accommodate these requests based on availability at check-in.
Have a valid photo ID (such as a driver’s license or passport) and an open credit or debit card for incidentals at check-in. Security holds on credit cards often range from $15 to $30 per stay.
Follow standard U.S. tipping: restaurants expect 15-20%, bellhops $15 per bag, housekeeping $15 to $30 per night, and valet $15 per vehicle retrieval. Carry small bills for convenience.
Greet staff and locals with 'Aloha' and thank them with 'Mahalo.' Removing sand, rocks, or coral from Honolulu beaches is illegal and monitored, so observe posted signs to avoid fines.
Use reef-safe sunscreen made without oxybenzone or octinoxate, as Hawaii law bans these to protect coral reefs. Apply at least 15 minutes before entering the water.
Pack lightweight SPF 30+ sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and a light rain jacket or compact umbrella for Honolulu’s tropical weather. Expect short, intermittent showers year-round, especially during winter.
Ask hotel staff about swimming and surf conditions at nearby beaches. Lifeguard stations post colored flags: yellow for moderate surf and red for high hazard. Only swim where permitted and always observe these warnings.
Discover local culture by booking lei-making workshops, hula lessons, or island tours at your hotel’s concierge. Early booking is suggested during holidays and festivals for access to limited spots.
Families should check for specific amenities like connecting rooms, cribs, or kitchenettes, which can reduce dining expenses and improve comfort. Many Honolulu hotels provide these upon request and with advance notice.
Solo travelers can enhance safety by booking rooms in well-rated, centrally located hotels, using the in-room safe for valuables, and confirming recommended walking routes with front desk staff, especially after dark.
For business travelers, verify in-room Wi-Fi speed or workspace access at booking. Some hotels offer business centers or meeting rooms, so request rates and availability if you need quiet space for work.
Request an accessible room with step-free entry, roll-in showers, and visual alarms if needed. Queen’s Medical Center, Honolulu’s largest hospital, is within a 15-minute taxi ride of Waikiki, so confirm location and accessibility before arrival.
Respect posted quiet hours, typically after 22:00, by avoiding loud conversations or music on balconies. Many hotels enforce local noise ordinances, and fines may apply.
Check current COVID-19 protocols for your Honolulu hotel prior to arrival, as masking and cleaning standards can shift by season. Confirm with the property directly if guidelines are unclear online.
If arriving late, inform your hotel in advance to secure your reservation. Most properties offer complimentary luggage storage before check-in and after check-out for added flexibility.
