Worst Hotel
Our room had an awful smell of mildew. The furniture was not only dated but dirty and dusty furniture. The bathroom sink was dirty. We were offered other rooms but they weren't any better. Over crowded beach area. Small pool. This so called Luxury hotel ( A Joke) is also over priced. Staff was great but we had to leave.

disappointing hotel. fabulous staff
overall disappointing especially for the price. no room service nor casual family restaurant on site with american staples like club sandwich or BLTs. rooms nice but dated. grounds fabulous. best aspect… spectacular staff… hospitality at its best. ‘complimentary’ activities cost $1000 AUD for 14 nights… won’t be back

A bit too busy but pleased we came
So although very very expensive to eat anything especially in the Azure restaurant it is well placed. Majority of people eat out either dukes or in town. Very small supposedly adult pool but also full of kids so forget that. Small hot tub at rear of pool for use. Beds are ridiculous people as ever just put towels and a book and go out for the day! Can’t believe this is still permitted at least Europe is trying to stop this act especially for a very small pool area just nuts.😡😡 Room cleaned daily great job baths are well not baths maybe foot bath🤷🏻 Town is real close get up and take a walk lots to see and do like I said earlier Dukes for a good breakfast and plan your day.

Disappointing
Our stay at the Royal Hawaiian Waikiki was meant to be the highlight of our overseas holiday. Unfortunately as soon as we stepped into our room the first thing we noticed was the awful mouldy, musty smell. The next was the dated and rundown state of the room. The view over Waikiki was amazing but we could not get past the dreadful smell in the room. The shower pressure was virtually non existent and then went cold during showering. After speaking to the hotel Guest Services, and Housekeeping about the issues with our room they organised for the room to be cleaned again and the carpet shampooed but this did not help. The smell still remained. We were offered similar rooms on two other levels but both also smelled of mould and damp. We could not stay in such conditions and moved to another hotel. We were so very disappointed as the hotel is meant to be a Luxury Collection and there was absolutely nothing luxurious about the room at all.

Well Worth The Cost
I normally stay at the Moana Surfrider but decided to do the Royal Hawaiian this time. I've stayed here before but it was 20ish years ago. I have to say, this stay blew me away. I love the idea of staying at historic hotels which this is, but I forget how many more amenities this has. The on site restaurants and bar, the stores, just the gardens that surround the hotel. It's all so wonderful and beautiful.
