The Cabana At Waikiki Hotel offers a genuine taste of Honolulu's vibrant Waikiki neighborhood. Nestled at 2551 Cartwright Rd, this accommodation balances convenience and comfort with a solid 3.8 rating from travelers who appreciate its prime location and homey feel.

Guests find themselves mere steps from iconic attractions—the Honolulu Zoo lies right next door, while the Waikiki Aquarium and surf beaches are within an easy stroll. Tour pickups are nearby, making exploration seamless for visitors eager to immerse themselves in local culture. This proximity builds a strong connection between the hotel and the lively pulse of Waikiki's shops, eateries, and Kuhio Beach hula shows.

Though The Cabana At Waikiki Hotel eschews luxuries like a swimming pool or on-site restaurant, it provides free Wi-Fi, parking, and a smoke-free environment, keeping practical needs well covered.

Reviewers underscore the value for the price—clean, tidy spaces that embrace simplicity over lavish decor. While the exterior may not impress like a grand hotel, inside, there is a warmth and care that resonates with those who seek an authentic and unpretentious island experience rather than high-end accommodations. Some guests wish for more responsive management, but the overall experience strikes a satisfying balance between budget and location.

In sum, The Cabana At Waikiki Hotel is best suited for travelers who prioritize immersion in Waikiki’s dynamic atmosphere over traditional hotel amenities. It invites visitors to live like locals, with everything essential within reach and the magic of Honolulu just beyond the doorstep.

Nice room and well worth the price. Your right in the middle of Waikiki and everything is in walking distance. The zoo is right next door and the aquarium isn't much further away. Surfing and major hotels are right there as well. All the pick ups for the tours are also right next door. I was happy but if you're looking for hotel accommodations this isn't for you.

Nice stay! Everything was walking distance. 8 mins walk to the Food Pantry and 3 mins walk to the beach. We had a great time staying here. The Property owner supplied everything that we needed. From coffee maker, crock pot and beach stuff for kids. Everything was fully stock as far bathroom tissue, towels (was more than 2) and tidy place. The look from the outside was not as nice as a Hotel but, inside is. #403 was up on the 4th flr but, love the exercise that I'm getting. Definitely, worth a try.

Place has everything you need that makes you feel at home. Less than 5 mns away to the beach, and plenty of restaurants. The process is pretty simple to get in, it's clean, has cable, a fridge, AC, everything you would expect. Wish the property manager was more responsive but overall we had a great experience. It was definitely worth the money
