What guests think

Pagoda Hotel draws mixed reviews: guests praise its central, walkable location near Ala Moana and the wallet‑friendly $5 breakfast, but note dated facilities, renovation noise, elevator delays, and added fees for parking and amenities that raise total costs.

Cleanliness feedback is inconsistent, ranging from clean rooms to reports of musty odors, worn bathrooms, pests such as roaches or ants, and housekeeping that comes only every fourth day. Rooms are generally spacious and basic, with older decor, noisy window A/C, thin walls, and occasional Wi‑Fi issues, though some units have been recently refreshed. Staff are often described as friendly and helpful, though check‑in can be slow and understaffed. Overall, expect a budget, centrally located stay with trade‑offs during ongoing renovations.

All of the floors above the 5th floor are currently under renovation until October 2025 or so we heard. We were on the 5th floor and could definitely hear all the work going on. Pool is closed also. Construction workers took over the elevator one day we were there so had to walk down via the stairs. Normally, we like to stay here but will find somewhere else until renovations are complete.

Google Maps placed us on the backside of the hotel where there was no parking for check-in. The clerk was behind a plastic partition making it difficult to understand one another. Parking was an extra fee of $33/night. The clerk gave unclear instructions for parking and there is no signage for guest parking. The is a parking ramp across the street that says Pagoda Parking but, is NOT affiliated with Pagoda Hotel and is $20/hour. The first thing you noticed stepping off the elevator was the smell of old fish being reheated. There was no soundproofing in the walls or doors, and you could hear everything from doors slamming to garage trucks at 0500 hours. The show/tub was moldy and there was hair on the toilet. I did not use the hotel’s WIFI as I did not feel secure using it. I would not recommend this location for any long-term stays. If you do so, I recommend taking your valuables with you each time you leave the room. There is a $30 amenity fee for WIFI, newspaper, in-room safe, coffee packets, and local and toll-free calls. And a $5 breakfast voucher. I never got a receipt from Expedia and will be keeping a close eye on my credit card bill.

Good location near the Ala Moana Center and next to Biki Bike stands and not far from downtown Waikiki area. Decent $5 breakfast/person. Kind of dated, pool is closed. Unexpected facility fee on check-in. Still, a better value than Waikiki hotels if you don't need close beach access.

Pogoda Hotel is off CBD (Waikiki) so it's a lot quieter and potentially more affordable than those in CBD hotels. Parking is $29 / day, roughly half of private parking garages in CBD. Parking spot is abundant but usually pretty close to fully occupied in late evenings if you arrive back to the hotel late. Staff is friendly and easy to work with. Amenities fees at $30/day is too much considering most of the guests don't need that at all. Also, the hotel building and rooms are very dated, not the cleanest or newest and walls aren't that sound proof, but they are price appropriate.

We’ve had a long day at the airport, flights delayed. Pagoda was our last resort to hop in to catch some sleep for only a couple hours . I have booked and paid for our stay here in hotels.com, and when we showed up to check in, no one was at the window . They explained there was only one of them working and rest were security guards. I was upset of how many extra taxes and fees they ended up charging me. $200+ for just booking the rooms. Once we got there I was charged $80 in amenities fees per room which we never used. Checked in by 12pm and checked out by 7am. + $200 more per room for security deposit. It was ridiculous. For a motel I think that was way over priced. As for cleanliness, Horrible. My room carpet was wet and moist. The room smelt muggy and moldy. Just disgusting.

Our overall stay wasn’t bad. The location was ideal for shopping, restaurants, the beach and walking distance from mall. Unfortunately we found roaches in our bathroom. House keeping only comes to clean the rooms every 4 days. But they took out the trash daily as long as you put It outside your door. Although I loved the location. I wouldn’t stay here again in the future.

There was no water bottle in the room. From my hotel experience, hotel provide at least one water bottle. I wouldn’t mind paying for it.

Great central location for riding the bus. Beautiful lobby and pool area. Just a few cleanliness issues that come with an older hotel. Our room still showed signs of its former (rude) guests: gum in the cracks of the shower walls, lipstick on the mirror, group signatures on the mirror when the bathroom fogs up. We didn't end up using the kitchenette partially due to the few cockroaches we saw. We were told that housekeeping would come on the 4th day but apparently the first day we checked in doesn't count (?). They came after the 4th night (which is the 5th day). Housekeeping also came at 8 am and told us they had to enter right then and won't come back later so we had to wake up and get out right away. Front desk was always very helpful. Air conditioning unit was a bit loud but effective. Fairly comfortable stay for a good price. $5 breakfast was delicious!

We noticed cockroaches in the bathroom several times - asked the hotel staff to come and spray the area but during our 10 day stay they didn't send anybody. Had to keep all my suitcases zipped as was fearing to bring them home. First time staying here and apparently the last time.

Good -The place is convenient for a stay as it is in the center of Honolulu. Walkable to Walmart, Ala Moana and the Catholic Church. It is near to Waikiki beach. Deficient - The room carpet needs a deep clean (bad odour), windows needs cleaning from outside (for clear vision of the surrounding) and lastly to have a more set of cooking utensils Overall the place serves your needs and requirement

The building appears run down. I lived in Hawaii in the 80’s. The garden and the building’s exterior were immaculate back then. Currently, the Sorabol sign is too big and is an eyesore. The interior hallways are dark and creepy. The rooms were neat but the bathroom cabinetry and tub are worn out. The window was dirty. I’m sorry for the negative comments but I used to dine there with my family and have returned for sentimental reasons but those attributes are no longer apparent.

The room was big and bed comfortable, but the property is quite dated and the AC very loud, requiring me to sleep with earplugs. We were also woken up at 6am by major construction noise for a new build right outside our window, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere at the time of booking. I made a complaint to the front desk but they didn’t take any action and we had the same issue the next morning, and didn’t get much sleep throughout our stay. The restaurant staff on the other hand was super friendly and the breakfast deal was great.

The bathtub and sink needs a major refinishing or a complete replacement. It’s functional but visually ugly. It’s very disappointing that the front desk could even consider assigning this room to a guest without some kind of warning that this could affect a person’s mental wellbeing. Other than this, the bedroom is big and spacious with a good wall a/c

Your desk clerk is extremely SLOW. A long line of us merely needed to check in, and the desk clerk wasted about 40 minutes on each customer for simple check-ins. Then your desk-clerk charged me an additional resort-fee that was not listed in Orbitz's advertisement for The Pagoda, which is extremely misleading. Pagoda needs to be more honest about its fees, and Pagoda needs to switch to an automated check-in. I am not going to return as a customer. Terrible service.

But the restaurant my Lord everything was delicious the staff was amazing the juice was fresh and we paid like $30 with tax and tip. That’s why this place gets 5 stars for me. Plus it is in a very convenient location. There’s a Ross, Walmart, Starbucks, and about a mile down is a mall and the beach.
