Nice clean hotel with good amenities. Staffs were friendly.

The hotel is located close to downtown Waikiki totally within walking distance and the service is top notch. The restaurant, coffee bar, and bar downstairs are all fantastic. So many reviews mention street noise and they aren’t wrong but we travel with a sound machine and it definitely covered the noise and we didn’t notice, or the hotel provides ear plugs just in case. It was a great room and the hotel experience had been great. The cost of parking is astronomical, so mentally prepare for that, but the valets are TRULY the best and worth it. It will cost you as much as your rental car does, but if you park your car they save a space even if valet is full and that is SO worth it.

We really enjoyed saying at the Wayfinder for a week. We stayed in one of the rooms overlooking the pool, and we'd definitely recommend upgrading to one of those rooms. Easy pool access, and great vibes. Just a few blocks from the beach.

The hotel was great. Our room was a decent size with a view of the canal and mountains. The cleaning staff was great. The soap/shampoo is so good I looked it up on Amazon to buy for home. The restaurant was a little pricey but decent food. The scenery around the pool is amazing.

Tsunami warning , and they are telling guests to go out and find food. Their exact statement was ‘there’s a Korean bbq place open. I don’t know where it is, or what it’s called but that’s what we heard. You should be able to go out and find it.’
Excuse me Wade! The tsunami threat is still in effect, we’re not supposed to be walking around…
There’s literally no food in the hotel in an emergency. Nothing to buy, nothing handed out to families who have been traveling and unable to eat for the past 8 hours. Nothing. No preparedness. I could not prepare! I was on an airplane when the tsunami warning occurred. Then got to the airport and everything was chaos. Stores and restaurants closed. Shuttle we pre paid for wasn’t running, Ubers were not running, no rental cars anywhere, desperately trying to get our family out of the airport. FINALY get a guy to drive in gridlock to our hotel, the hotel that we called and asked about safety and tsunami protocol. We were assured the hotel was taking care of everything for us. Arrive and check into our room on the 3 rd floor. Google says protocol is above the 4th floor … soooo go back and talk to front desk they evacuate us to the penthouse witch a bunch of other people there. So I guess you need to ask to be evacuated in this hotel… they give us a bottle of water and an uneven ‘good luck’ expression.
So there we sit for the next 4 hours with nothing but a bottle of water. Then the hotel sends us back to our rooms BEFORE the all clear and still no food or anything. Great job… so we wait for morning to find somewhere that we can get something to eat.
I’ll stay in mountain side b&b’s atleast they are far from tsunamis and the hosts are accommodating and informative.

The room was on the smaller side, but since I didn’t spend much time inside, it wasn’t a problem. Most importantly, it was very clean — I didn’t see a single bug like cockroaches or ants during my entire stay, which I really appreciated.
One downside was that only two bottles of water were provided at check-in, regardless of the length of stay. When I asked about this at the front desk, they confirmed that those two bottles were all that’s provided.
Lastly, I want to thank Sarah, who works at the pool. She was incredibly kind and helpful, and I really appreciated her assistance. Thanks to her, I’d love to stay at Wayfinder again on my next trip to Hawaii.
Mahalo nui! 🌺✨

My wife and I couldn’t have been happier with our stay at the Wayfinder. The location is perfect, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the price is perfect for the location.

Love this hotel! Very much my vibe. Casual, open, but under friendly staff. Rooms a nice 🤷🏽♂️, but I don’t require too much to be satisfied. Check in was a breeze! Food was great ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pool is perfect! I would definitely come back & would recommend.
I really like the room decoration. It's better than I expected. But the soundproofing is not very good. In addition, the hotel staff seemed very tired and did not provide warm service.

We have a relaxing and fun 7 night stay at Wayfinder Waikiki and enjoyed our stay very much!
Wayfinder is in the heart of Waikiki and is an extremely close walk to the beach, stores, and an easy uber to all attractions on Oahu.
Wayfinder hotel is a great value. Water bottles in your room (multiple water bottle fillers around the hotel for refills) a cute little welcome gift (candy & flower), a complimentary welcome cocktail, and free rental for beach chairs, beach/pool towels, GoPros, portable charger banks, and boogie boards. There’s also completely free fitness classes and live music at the pool multiple days a week.
Additionally, at the well decorated pool, they always had a free refreshment (usually iced herbal tea) and a few days they even gave out free popsicles!
It’s totally worth it to spend a day “off” just relaxing at the hotel pool.
The food is also surprisingly good! Redfish had absolutely delicious mochi pancakes, amazing poke, and a solid burger. We tried other dishes and were happy with all our meals there.
Additionally, the pool bar serves food from Redfish too. The cocktail bar at the pool is AMAZING. Great cocktails, a good happy hour, and super friendly bar tenders.
I saw other reviews that complained about service and cleanliness, and I experienced absolutely nothing of the sort. Everyone we interacted with from the front desk staff, to the pool staff were extremely friendly.
We also had absolutely no issues with cleanliness. Our room was made up every day with fresh towels.

Stayed here for two nights. Very comfortable room and bed, quiet as well. Pool is clean and well maintained. Would stay here again in the future.

Absolutely LOVE this hotel and wish I stayed here for my whole trip! From the decor to the staff to the vibes to the space it ticks every single box! Probably the only hotel on our trip worth charging a resort fee too in order to use the facilities! The cafe and breakfast on site was amazing! The food is incredible! I’m so impressed and will def return! Beautifully situated right by the lake too and a short walk to beach and all the fun you need!
