Ilikai 527 Ocean / Sunset / Marina Views Q Bed, Sofa Bed

Our overall stay is good. I'll start with the good part. Balcony is facing the marina and partial ocean view with a sunset. Walking distance from the Hilton Lagoon and Kahanamoku Beach and a 15minute walks to Ala Moa Beach Park and Ala Moana Shopping Center. Bus stop is in front of the hotel if you are going to Waikiki Area. Walking distance to ABC groceries and McDonald's. It has stove with oven, fridge with freezer, microwave and coffee maker. Equipped with kitchen essentials if you are planning on cooking. It has Smart TV where you can login with your netflix and Amazon prime video. It has queen bed and a sofa with pull out bed. Full bath is nice but a little outdated. It has 3 beach chairs that we used when we went to the lagoon or beach. The pool is added plus where the kids enjoyed swimming Now the bad side. It could have been excellent if not of the ilder AC being so loud. We stayed here for 9 nights and overtime my head starting to hurt for the constant loud AC. The AC works fine, it can cool down the whole place, it's just annoyingly loud. If you're a shallow sleeper, I suggest you find somewhere else. On the third night I had to buy an ear plug, but it made my ear uncomfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at the Ilikai room 527! The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need. Very comfortable king bed, nice sofa facing a large TV. Nice spacious place. Loved the partition between the sleeping and living area. Yes there were some quirks- the kitchen appliances and furniture showed some wear, and a couple of pigeons had taken up residence on the balcony (didn’t bother us because we have chickens at home and are used to being around birds and all that comes with it). Very powerful shower, but no ledge to put shampoo and no fan in the bathroom. However, the perfect location and beautiful view of the harbor and ocean made this a tremendous value and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We have stayed in The Ilikai several times previously, but never in this suite. The host was very supportive when we had issues regarding gaining entry, the internet not working, etc. (The Housekeeping staff had not changed the entry code from the previous guests.) The bed, couch, and balcony furniture were comfortable and the TV worked fine. The Housekeeping staff had done a good job cleaning the room also. However, the dishes were not clean (greasy), the wooden furniture was in terrible condition (scratched and dented), the appliances were very outdated, and birds were roosting under the air conditioning unit on the balcony. We had to bring the balcony furniture inside as they were constantly landing and defecating on it. Gross! Although we would return to The Ilikai, we would never stay in that suite again!!!

Great location, but the front area was very hectic with cars constantly coming and going. Valet service helped. The room was fine with basic amenities, but the bed was too high and uncomfortable, and we woke up with sore backs. The air conditioning was extremely loud, making it hard to sleep, and it seems this issue has been mentioned before without being fixed. The bathroom needs proper holders for toiletries in shower, and the place overall could use some updating. Also, not sure why there were cans of paint and brushes stored in the kitchen cupboard. Otherwise, all ok. Thanks.

Ilikai 527 was the perfect place for me. I was there on an extended trip for work (32 days) and wanted a place with some space and a kitchen. It had everything I wanted that a hotel doesn’t offer. On top of that, the views were amazing, especially the sunsets. The location was great too. It’s a bit quieter than the main strip, but centrally located and walkable to all of Waikiki as well as the Ala Moana park and mall area. I would definitely stay there again and have strongly recommend to others that they should look into it for their trips.

Great room with all the amenities (ac, full kitchen, balcony) and location. The Hilton Hawaiian village resort is right next door so it was an easy walk to shops and restaurants. It is within short walking distance to the beach, and 10 minutes to ala Moana center and 20 minutes to Waikiki. I must note the pigeons make themselves at home on the balcony and as such, leave their calling cards LOL .. I emailed the property mgr and maintenance was able to clean it up the same day. The only thing that was missing was a full length mirror LOL. This is a great accommodations in a great location with very reasonable price. I will definitely be staying here again!
