Miramar is still the best budget stay in Waikiki. We stayed there 4 years ago so I was worried it might not be the same...it was better. They are in the process of installing WIFI (much needed). Other than that, they have everything you need and if they don't, it's a short walk to the ABC store(s). We skipped breakfast a couple of mornings to eat at Smorgy's across the street (very good for the money). Breakfast at the hotel is borderline okay but not great. Good for quick coffee and juice if nothing else, but they have hot food too. Close to the beach and you can use the beach towels by the pool, by signing them out. Kind of a noisy at night so if you are a light sleeper, I suggest ear plugs. The walls are very thin. Pool bar was enjoyable as we met a lot of nice people there and the drinks and service were great. Not a 3 star but we would stay here again if the price doesn't go up. I look for them to raise it as soon as they have all the upgrades complete. Waikiki is becoming a minature Vegas and we were not impressed with the town but still love the Miramar and it's staff. They should open a branch on the North Shore...we would stay there every time.

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.
