not noing what to expect when ariving to the miramar was a little concerning since my husband and i had never traveled to honolulu before and we pulled a hotel basicaily out of a hat. we are somewhat of budget travelers but like a nice clean hotel with nice amenities. wow this was everything and more. we stayed 8 wonderful nights the staff was so very friendly all of them. the rooms were very clean and the beds very comfortable. they have a nice pool,a great longe with music and great drinks. the hotel has a gift shop and a cloths store a dennys and few other places to eat. location was awsome just around the corner to the beach.the bus stop is right there(they have a great bus system in honolulu)and lots of abc stores. they have a tour office to help you book your adventures. i made a point to walk into the lobbys of a bunch of other hotels and snooped at the pool areas and i was so glad i was staying were i was staying. so if the hiltons not in your budget don't miss out on this gem.

this place is very central to everything. beach is a very short walk. international market is right outside hotel. breakfast was included with our stay. not a bad breakfast for free. my 80 year old mom and 2 sisters plus my niece and daughter 25 years old all had a great time. street was pretty noisy fri and sat but all was great. would stay there again.

We stayed at the Miramar for 5 nights. This hotel has several things going for it: Location, Price and Hospitality. Our room was a Deluxe with breakfast and we were not dissapointed. We actually were impressed that it was much better than we were expecting. It was clean, had everything we needed-Good shower, comfy beds, cable TV, small fridge and coffee pot. The employees are all very friendly and helpful. Our buffett breakfast was good (not excellent) and hot. The location is great for shopping (International Market Place is next door), dining and nightlife. We did have to walk to the beach but just thru the market place and across the street. The pool is small but clean and there is a bar at the pool. We really enjoyed our stay and if we do go back to Honolulu I would stay there again without reservations. The bus stop is right across the street as is a market. I read several reviews about this hotel before booking it and it lived up to the reviews. I will say that it is NOT a five star hotel and if you do want all the amenities this is not the place for you. If cleanliness is important this place has it. Again the location could not be better.

This was the 4th time we have stayed at the Miramar(9th-19th May), and we were not disappointed. Great value for money and a great location with a definite improvement in decor and customer service from our last visit 2 years ago. Hotel has been under re-furbishment and you can see the difference. We had 3 rooms, side-by-side with 7 people and were very happy. Rooms were all ready for us when we checked in at 10am and staff were all very friendly and helpful. Have stayed at a couple of other 5 star hotels in Waikiki (including Princess Kaiulani next door) and you do experience street noise and music etc on some nights etc in every hotel, it is Waikiki after all. Overall, its not top of the market, but is great value for money and a perfect position for the beach, shopping, restaurants etc.
