Rooms a tad small as typical for the area but no real complaints (eg no awkward door openings or anything.) The hotel is an older building that's been renovated and opened in 2023, looks nice, but don't expect USB ports, anything automated, unlock via app, etc. The pool is okay sized, towels and bar directly at the pool, a good place to relax. Restaurant is decent. Entrance has a nice open feel to it. Overall I felt I got my money's worth for the area.

Most staff was sweet. My only gripe is that the hotel is on a big street and has single Paine windows - so it’s loud. The pool area, coffee shops and restaurants are fabulous!

The AC rattled and it took multiple requests to get help. It rattled loudly throughout the trip. Sliding doors didn’t latch well on the balcony and that caused the wind to whistle. They lent us a GoPro as a part of the amenities and it failed while we were snorkeling. Restaurant was good, front desk staff were friendly, and the pool was nice.

We had a great stay at the Wayfinder Hotel Waikiki! The design and vibe of the hotel are super cool — very stylish and laid-back, with a boutique feel that stands out in Waikiki. The room was very clean, the beds comfy, and the decor had a fun, tropical charm. The pool area was a highlight. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the location is convenient: close enough to walk to the beach, restaurants, and shopping, but just far enough from the busiest areas to feel a bit more peaceful :)
