Ilima Hotel

“Everything you need for a great vacation”

This is one of my favourite hotels in recent memory. The rooms are huge and recently renovated with a vibrant/ mid century vibe.

This is one of my favourite hotels in recent memory. The rooms are huge and recently renovated with a vibrant/ mid century vibe. Housekeeping is amazing and have cleaned our room even when we didn’t expect them to as we left our room late in the day. The rooms are spotless. Every staff member we’ve encountered has been friendly and helpful. The kitchen is well stocked. Laundry room has multiple units for a very reasonable cost. Thoughtful things like a jug of cold water in fridge when we arrived and a laundry basket in the closet. The bathroom is dated but again spotless and well maintained and has plenty of space to put your things. I wouldn’t call this a fancy hotel but it’s so comfortable and clean and right in the middle of everything. Would 100% stay here again if lucky enough to return to Oahu.

“Great value in central location”

We stayed 5 nights at Ilima Hotel after an absence of 15 years. Our room was available at 12 noon.

We stayed 5 nights at Ilima Hotel after an absence of 15 years. Our room was available at 12 noon. We enjoyed the view of the golf course and the Ala Wai Canal, especially in the late afternoon when the outrigger canoes were racing on the canal. The room was large with a nice porch. There were ports for charging cell phones by the beds. The kitchenette included a refrigerator and freezer. The location was ideal for access to Beach Walk and Kalakaua Avenue. Housekeeping kept the room clean and tidy, cleaning right after we left at about 12 noon every day. The staff were all very pleasant and happy. The price was reasonable for Honolulu.

“Great hotel. Amazing staff. Fantastic location”

We checked in to the Ilima at the very last minute as a condo we had booked elsewhere was unacceptable. The Ilima rescued our holiday - a clean kitchenette room in a great location. The staff are super friendly and I cannot praise them enough - each day they were happy and helpful

“Hotel okay - parking accommodations terrible!”

This is an older hotel. We stayed in a one-bedroom standard and the bed was comfortable in the bedroom, but the couch that made out into a bed was the worst ever. Even sitting on the sofa to watch TV was terrible. It was the hardest couch/bed ever. It was really no different than sleeping on the fl… more

This is an older hotel. We stayed in a one-bedroom standard and the bed was comfortable in the bedroom, but the couch that made out into a bed was the worst ever. Even sitting on the sofa to watch TV was terrible. It was the hardest couch/bed ever. It was really no different than sleeping on the floor. The kitchen had minimal accommodations and the silverware didn't match and was flimsy and cheap. No dishwasher. But the biggest problem was parking. There are about 96 rooms in the hotel and about 37 parking stalls. Our daughter got us a handicap placard for my husband (he's 76) but apparently they give out more of those than there are handicap parking spots. There were 3 cars in our party and there wasn't a single night we were all able to park at the hotel. It's in a sketchy area so parking on the street was a little scary. The cleaning staff were amazingly friendly and always made us feel great.
