Was happy with the room. I was disappointed that we made sure to switch hotels when we booked because we wanted a pool. Upon arrival we find out the pool is closed. We then wanted to extend our stay and we were told the manager would call us back but never did. Overall the hotel and room are great.

Good property for the price, location. Has a pool and hot tub. Self parking is on premise which is nice but note, it is not part of the hotel and costs 30$ which is actually a good price and you can get to your floor from the garage. Overall very satisfied!

Hotel and Amenities are great. Staff is excellent. Pool and hut tub on top floor is great place for sunset. Sauna over looking Diamond head is some thing you must experience, hard to find but follow sign on roof top floor. One A/C unit for two rooms is hard to regulate temperature in second room.

A king size bed ocean view suite was spacious, nice view, convenient location, but a huge cockroach was found in the kitchen twice and small ones shown a couple of times during my stay. After pest control sprayed they’re gone though. Other than that this hotel is very good value for money!

The location of Pacific Monarch is incredibly convenient to shops, food, surfboard rentals and the surf. Having parking onsite at $30/night is a bargain and the use of the hospitality suite post checkout was a huge bonus. We stayed in 1 bedroom, hotel unit (not a condo) with an incredible view and a large lanai which was another bonus. Our room was clean but dated and a tad tired in condition (e.g. towels racks broken, stuck toilet handle). We had our room cleaned once during our stay. We really just needed the rooms vacuumed of the sand and towels swapped out but the cleaning was superficial and the sand remained. We would stay again at Pacific Monarch but maybe seek out a renovated condo in the building instead.

This hotel is a joke!!! Housekeeping every three days! And they are quick to charge you for 'amenities', which they do not give you. Toiletries were not readily available when needed, i had to call the front desk to get them & they had the nerve to say that they do not provide that. The tv didnt work. The hallways are pretty dirty & smelly. Oh and not to memtion parking! They have lots of rules when parking in their garage! If you do not pay with the exact amount, the machine will not give you change. And its very rowdy as well. I heard ruckus all night long everyday i stayed there. I heard a couple guest complained & the response the frontdesk gave her is that it was not their problem. All they showed is thst they are quick to take ypur money but not to give you the service you payed for. It's a pretty rinky dinky hotel.

Had a bad 2 nights at this hotel. There are slated windows in every room (apparently) that just let all the noise of Waikiki right into your bedroom. Made it hard to sleep. Also the mattress was completely caved in and caused my husband and I to roll into each other. Management offered no help or solutions.

Had a great stay at this hotel just 2 blocks from the beach. We ended up with a corner room with a partial ocean and sunset and sunrise views. The view from the rooftop pool is great. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel does not have central air and city location means it can be noisy. Rooms are showing their age but everything was in order.

Family Stay at Pacific Monarch – A Mixed Experience This Time We’ve stayed at the Pacific Monarch over a dozen times, and it’s usually our go-to spot for family trips to Waikiki. The location is ideal, and we’ve had many great experiences in the past, which is why we keep coming back. This time, however, our stay was a bit of a mixed bag. We rented two rooms for our family, and while one of them was a delight—spacious, cool, and very comfortable—the other left much to be desired. The first room felt overstuffed with oversized furniture that didn’t fit the space well, making it cramped and awkward to move around in. The air conditioning unit was oddly tucked away inside a closet, which made it nearly useless in keeping the room cool. It was uncomfortably warm throughout our stay. Had we needed to use the hide-a-bed, it would have been a logistical nightmare. The only way to make space for it would have been to move the dining table out onto the patio, which clearly wasn’t a practical solution. Thankfully, the second room more than made up for it. It was ten times cooler, better laid out, and much more comfortable for our family to relax in. We still love Pacific Monarch for its location and have had many good stays here, but this experience reminded us that room quality can vary quite a bit. If you’re traveling with family, it might be worth calling ahead to request a room with a better layout and functioning A/C.

Pacific Monarch is a convenient spot, close to Waikiki Beach. Our room was quite small, the kitchenette was tiny, but it was good enough for two people. If you are facing Diamond Head, you are facing south, which means the room will be cooking (even with AC) unless you draw the curtains. The staff at reception were super friendly and helpful. True Aloha spirit.

I have stayed here year after year and every time I go to checkin it’s an absolute nightmare. This yeah I was moved 3 times (3 different rooms). I said I needed a full size room which is what I booked on Expedia, when I said this I was told I needed to upgrade and spend more for my 9 night stay, this on top of what I had already spent. No discount was offered for putting me in a room overlooking construction (loud noise) and an out of older pool. Asked to speak to manager Christina and she was always unavailable. For what I paid, I deserved better.

Terrible service trying to interact with this property. I was charged by them even though I never set foot on this property. When I called I was told multiple different stories by different parties which passed blame instead of refunding me for a trip I did not make. Even hotels.com tried to help and the property refused.

Thanks Auntie Christie Ann! I've been to Oahu/Waikiki several times but things have changed and she helped us with that. I loved that! Thank you Christie Ann! You're the best! The Pacific Monarch hotel is great! It's close to EVERYTHING. You're a block and 1/2 away from the beach. Take your pick on all the shopping. It;s SO close by! And, the Ala Moana Shopping mall is a quick bus ride away. Don't want to go to the beach? Pacific Monarch has a rooftop pool, hot tub and a sauna! along with a game area! Again, all of this is on the rooftop. The room we had an incredible view of the ocean and the mountains. The Pacific Monarch is a great choice to stay for you and your family. I'd definitely stay there again.

This was not an upscale fancy hotel but a very nice, safe and functional place. My granddaughter and I enjoy the room with a kitchenette, a sitting area, table and double beds. She immensely enjoyed the pool and hot tub. There was a sauna, which I didn’t use, and snack machines. It was only about a five minute walk to the beach and the hotel had chairs you can borrow, beach towels, and they even had a pump to inflate my floaty’s. They also had lemon water available in the lobby at all times. The only downside that I can think of was that you can hear the street noise during the night, but I didn’t find that unbearable. Also, sometimes it took a while for the elevators to arrive if you were going from the lobby to the rooftop pool. But I’d definitely stay there again.

Has a kitchen with all the basic necessities for making meals. There are grills to cookout and seating available on the roof top near the pool. Towels and beach chairs available with the resort fee.
