Ali'iolani Hale Tours and Activities

It was a great place for a budget friendly vacationer. The gym was very small and works for one to two people. If you want a gym don’t come here. Our door to the room was made of wood and was extremely hard to open and it was very loud when closed or opened because of the humidity and warping. Most rooms didn’t seem to be as bad as ours (rm #612). Pool was cool but not heated and it is more a lounging pool than a fun pool. No hot tubs even though it looks like there might be. Water filling stations were excellent by the pool and in the lobby. Parking was terrible. Even the paid parking was limited. We parked on the street but you need to pay the meter. The hotel was in a great spot to go walking around the town for food at night

The room was decently clean. The bathroom was a bit too small and around the shower had some spots of mildew. I had to place my clothes on the other bed because the closet shelf was really dusty. The room in general okay. The staff were friendly and the location is super convenient to the beach.

This hotel is in a wonderful location, has beautiful gardens, nice staff, is a historic hotel, has a great Mai Tai Bar & has a beautiful beach. That said, “ historic” one might , at times, feel is synonymous with run down. This IS NOT an updated property. When it rains, the lobby floods. The paint on the walls looks like it is hiding decades of decay. To say the carpets are worn, is kind. Coffee is sold in the lobby starting at 6 AM & it stops at noon. The women at this stall work fast & are kind, & the coffee is good but the wait at 6:45 AM is at least 20 minutes… it’s even worse later! And the pool / beach situation is like fight club ( or the Jersey Shore on Fourth of July Weekend!!). Good luck finding a chair, a place in the sand, or a spot in the pool! The rocking chairs in the lobby are a highlight, so are the free pink water bottles ( you’ll need them to get free water). A fun experience but for the price, no way would I stay here again.
