Pacific Monarch Hotel

The view and location was out standing.

Excellent location and very spacious suite. It was very clean. Loved the balcony view! Very close to beach, places to eat, walk, shop, bus stop across the street. Walking distance from everything I needed. Based on research, this was one of the few (mid-tier) Waikiki hotels that even had a microwave. Lots of other kitchen appliances and dishes. That was unexpected. Rooftop pool, hot tub and sauna looked in excellent, clean condition. These were not busy at the time I was there but I didn't have time to make use of them. Overall, a perfect place for solo traveler like me.

The location was wonderful, only a couple of blocks from the beach, the zoo, or meeting places to catch tours buses. For those who want to shop, it a great location, streets of stores. Quick bus ride or walk (30-40 min) to Ala Moana mall. Easy access to restaurants, and my favourite places are the smaller places across the street from the hotel that sell Korean Barbecue, or Poke. There are ABC convenience stores located everywhere. My room was well equipped with cooking equipment. The bed was very comfortable. I was on the 8th floor right by the elevator and I couldn’t hear it, which was amazing. The room was fairly updated and nice. The air conditioner is noisy and a bit to close to the bed for my liking, but you adjust after the first night or two.The overhead fan helps as a nice white noise and helps move the cool air around. Bring earplugs to use until you’re adjusted. The street noise was not bad, you have to remember your in busy tourist area, but things quieted down at reasonable hours on the weekends. There was renovations going on during my stay but it wasn’t bothersome and kept to reasonable hours.I loved the energy of the area. You can spend the day at the beach, (rent a chair & umbrella) or buy a beach chair at ABC,. Take some tours, or stroll along the streets for hours. I didn’t use the rooftop pool, I found the area noisy from machinery fans, but others people, especially those with kids were enjoying it. I love not needing a car to get around. There was easy to book shuttle service, or city bus service between airport and hotel. Great times, great vacation.

Fantastic central location just a couple minutes gentle stroll to Waikīkī beach. Although the property is dated, the room and bathroom were exceptionally neat and clean. The room was very spacious and included a kitchenette, dining table, and lounge. There was ample hanging space and drawers to allow you to completely unpack, store your case in the robe and settle in. The delicious Maguro Spot Poke Bowl is right across the road and the coffee caravan next to the hotel entrance was convenient and served good coffee. We very much enjoyed the cucumber water freely available in the hotel foyer.

Most of the staff members were friendly. RJ and Aaron from Housekeeping were helpful when I needed help with the TV and one of the brought luggage racks and extra towels. The best part of my stay was Chrisiann at the front desk. Even before I arrived she was helpful. My flight was delayed so I called the hotel and she happened to answer and assume me my reservation was still confirmed. I had requests from luggage racks to questions about the area. She was so helpful to assist. Her colleagues.- Mary Rose/Grace (or something like that) and another Asian lady who worked at the desk who couldn't be bothered. The room was clean and well appointed. Excellent location. I'd come back again.
