The Ilima hotel is a very affordable, older hotel in the heart of Waikiki. While it doesn’t have many of the features of newer hotels (spas, a gym, etc) you are still in Hawaii; why do you want to stay in the hotel? The room itself is spacious, with a full kitchenette (fridge, stove, microwave and sink) as well as... more

I stayed at the Ilima for 8 nights in a studio superior room with my husband because of all of the positive reviews we read. We stayed in room 901, which had a beautiful view of the mountains, the Ala Wai Canal and the Ala Wai golf course. This hotel is a great value for $115/night with the 5th night... more

The last two days of our Hawaiian holiday were spent here and we couldn't have chosen better. Having the car park was great, nearness to the shops and restaurants was a bonus, the rooms were large and comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would always try and stay here, if I ever have the chance to go... more

I picked this hotel from reviews I read here, and they are spot on. The location is great, with a small grocery 3 blocks away so one can take advantage of the kitchen facilities. The room is spacious (much bigger than our company-paid room for the other half of our trip at twice the price). The firm beds took a... more

We've been to Waikiki several times and stayed in a few different hotels, but this is one hotel that we would love to go back to. The hotel is located about two blocks from Waikiki beach, off of Kuhio Avenue, where there are tons of restaurants! Upon checking in, they gave us Hawaiian cookies. That was nice. Our studio room... more

If you're looking for a boutique hotel or 5 stars with room service and a restaurant, keep looking. The Ilima is a nice spacious studio with everything that an independent traveler needs. The rooms are simple and clean with a generic décor and firmly comfortable beds. With a fridge, microwave, stove, pots, pans, coffee maker and coffee the only thing... more

We had a quick two-night stay at the Ilima to see Pearl Harbor and recover from the jet lag before continuing our trip. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean and comfortable room (we had 3 adults and 2 children in a 2 bedroom suite with kitchen) good location (a block from the bus to Pearl Harbor) with the International Marketplace, Waikiki... more

Took my parents on their first Hawaii trip, the Ilima Hotel was definitely one of the best value for money accommodation in the Waikiki area! Only 2 blocks away from the Waikiki beach and international market place, perfect for relaxing walks along the beach or in the street and browse through all the shopping highlights in Waikiki. We rented a... more
