The Modern Honolulu - Honolulu

Although not right on the beach, my room faced the beach, ocean and pleasure boats in the harbor. It was a lovely setting...away from the touristy hustle and bustle of Waikiki, but only a short stroll to the tourist area for the stores, bars and restaurants. The hotel's clean white beach chic decor both inside the rooms and around the pool (s) is a […] refreshingly hip addition to Honolulu's hotel scene. Well done! Les mer

I loved the all-white decor, as well as the beautiful decoration around the pool/bar area. The restaurant (Morimotos) was exceptional - fun bartenders and another beautiful outdoor eating area with lava rock fire pits next to the tables. I will definitely stay here the next time I'm in Honolulu and I will recommend it to others. Definitely worth every […] penny of the room charge. Les mer

I originally chose this hotel based on price but once we got there we were pleasantly surprised at how well thought out everything was, and how friendly and accommodating the staff was! It was the little things, all the little details that made the difference and the Modern just seemed to have thought of everything! I would definitely recommend this […] place and stay here again if ever given an opportunity. You won't be disappointed! Les mer

Lovely hotel but you can here the traffic so loudly through the windows you'd think you were outside. Might want to do something about that. I've stayed in many Waikiki hotels, and never had this problem. otherwise hotel was great. Thank you.

The location is slightly outside of the main Waikiki beach. The room was clean and the staff service was very professional. The ocean view room is misleading, and Hotels.com should clearly identify this. We were allowed to check-in early which is a big bonus. The Japanese restaurant Morimoto on the facility is very good with the exception for the black […] cod - had bones in there and the waiter was very unresponsive. Les mer

No complaints. Very nice hotel and staff.

Really classy hotel. The outdoor pool area was fantastic, and comfortable to relax at. I like it how no matter where you are in the hotel, there is always groovy music playing (not too loud). There were even speakers underwater in the pool! On top of it all, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Our stay at the Modern was such a pleasant experience, the staff were just so helpful and friendly, nothing was was too much trouble for them. The room was so well maintained and comfortable. Breakfast at the Modern was such a treat, made all the more enjoyable by the the team, especially Kaloha.Also we would like to thank Stephanie for all her help […] in making our stay such a memorable one. If you are looking for a great place to stay this is it! 10 out of 10 Les mer

Awesome experience, excellent spa and Morimotos Waikiki is fantastic. Best service we have had yet and we live in Hotels

I found this hotel on the Hotels.com website. Looked very nice in pictures but the reality was a bit different, not so much though.... It is located in Waikiki area so easy to get to the beach and shopping area. swimming pool is super nice but I had to wait till the sun comes up around noon. early morning you should go out because swimming pool is surrounded […] with other building.. Les mer

Great hotel, my wife and I spent 6 nights in the Modern. Very good modern clean rooms, great pool area, great location and value for money, nothing else to say!

This hotel is extremely relaxing. Everything from check in to check out was very smooth. After a 14 hour flight to get to Honolulu, I appreciated the refreshing drink they gave me upon check in The staff is very courteous. The rooms are very spacious, the bathrooms are modern, the linens are high quality., the Internet connection was fast and, most […] of all, the breakfast room (small tables outdoors around the pool) is beautiful and the food delicious (although a bit pricey). It looks like a short walk to the beach (I never went) and, in summary, I really liked my stay there. Les mer

Clean, new and great view of ocean and Friday night fireworks! Only thing....be sure to ask for a room on opposite side of noisy Ala Moana Blvd!

The Only problem we had, was leaving this hotel!! Every moment from the one we walked in was absolute bliss , stunning design , great staff and amazing room with the most awesome views of the marina and beach. Design of room was unreal very funky , This was for our honeymoon , master chef restaurant was excellent and we HIGHLY recommend to anyone who […] wants a stylish, classy , not run of the mill stay. You could not, in any way, be disapointed. Les mer

Cannot leave balcony door open at night at the construction noise on street below is LOUD. If you have air conditioning on and door shut, you should be okay. Otherwise, we really enjoyed staying here - the staff was outstanding, the pool fabulous and live music happy hour was completely enjoyable.

Great design and layout w/ a little to explore in hotel. Very freindly and expedited service upon arrival and checkout! Room floor staff stopped by maybe a little to often to check on things ( one reason is the ice maker is locked up and staff has to get it for you), only staff/service issue, but not a deal at all. Great pool areas! Good crowd (young, […] relaxed, vibrant, hip)! Drinks at pool levels are expensive though, only slightly higher than HNL average. Rooms are sizeable, simple, comfortable, clean, nice bathrooms and even the city side has partial ocean view w/ balconies. And finally, the only real concern we had before we showed up was location: however considering only a handful of hotels actually have a useable beachfront on Waikiki, walking a raised "boardwalk" for 2-3 minutes strait to the beach (no streets to cross) was really nice and convenient. Also, lots of stuff all around hotel. We had a couple of rainy days in the beginning of our trip, so we did alot of walking around and lobby lounging at other hotels, still probably go back to the Modern next time in HNL! Les mer

From check in to check out, this was a great place to stay. While we generally gravitate towards B&B's or hotels with old-time ambiance, we took a chance at this very sleek and stylish hotel. It was worth it. The staff was very accommodating, warm and genuine. THe surrounds are beautiful and private in the pool area. The ocean view was great and the […] room was extremely clean, sleek, and comfortable. We give this hotel a solid Grade-A. A short walk brought us to any number of restaurants and places of interest without being in the too busy heart of Waikiki. We loved it and will go back again! Les mer

For the avid shopper, which I am, the Modern Honolulu is very appropriate with just a short walk to the Waikiki shopping strip & the Ala Moana centre. Facilities are very Modern.

Very nice simple decor. Great bed, pillows and sheets. Enjoyed musician in lounge. Comfortable pool area. Restaurant was disappointing. Food was very good but service disjointed and slow.

This is a fabulous hotel - the place itself is achingly cool without arrogance, the staff friendly and helpful, and the rooms simply awesome. The location is just off the end of the beach which means that the hotel feels away from the hoards (most other beachfront hotels suffer from lots of people walking straight past the sunbathing decks and feel […] busy) yet literally around the corner from the action. The raised pools overlooking the harbour could happily rival LA and Miami beach but with a more relaxed feel. I can't wait to go back! Les mer

The entire experience was Amazing!!!! I loved everything about this hotel . Highly recommended!

The Modern is a beautiful boutique property overlooking Honolulu Harbor at the edge of Waikiki. It is a real value compared with other area hotels I've visited in my many trips to Oahu. Of special note is the pleasant efficiency of its concierge desk, at least in the person of Ms. Oong, and Morimoto restaurant, which is housed in The Modern (superb […] Japanese cuisine). The property is close to the beach, Ala Moana Center (Hawaii's largest mall) and vehicular access is almost instantaneous to Ala Moana Boulevard -- which remains under seemingly perpetual construction. I loved the property and its highly professional and personable staff. More important, I'll be a future guest. Les mer

I stay in Honolulu a week a month. Have been at the Modern or more often next door for more than a year. First night this stay, room on the 7th floor of Modern, kept awake by disco music until 4 am. throbbing through floor. Next morning, front desk said that's our club. What about those of who pay for a room to sleep: response don't worry the club is […] closed until Thursday. Neighboring room said you didn't have it so bad, a drunk knocked on their door at 3 am and would not go away for 40 minutes until she regaled them how much fun the club was. Day 2, the hotel say you can get poolside breakfast and dinner with full service. Several times that I have eaten at the outside areas, the 3 guys and 2 girls who are supposed to be working from the outdie bar seem mostly intent on standing around looking too cool but not coming out from behind the bar. After 45 minutes with no service and watching a neighboring table get menus but not have order taken, I left, less aggravating to get room service. On other visits similar experience with delay and poor service at outside bar, had to go up to bar and ask to be served. Had to go back and ask for table ware and salt and pepper. The bartenders are ok if sit right at the bar. Who knows if you will ever see the roaming servers. The food is good, but not modestly priced so you wonder how they get by with more than half of the staff doing infrequent, intentive service Day 3 -- elevators lock up and shut down, eventually fireman coming out of elevators. Employee with radio says no problem, but you will have to walk back up stairs to room if you don't want to wait. She doesn't know where the staircases are. Other people are frightened about going back up. Elevators finally come back on. An hour later in the room the power goes off, cable system deprograms. Day 4 -- when you come down and need a cab, there is rarely one at the front. When they call for a cab could take 20 minutes. Other hotels have cabs in front so often better to wal Les mer

This hotel is fresh clean and service impeccable from moment of arrival. Staff assisted every need with ease. The rooms were second to none in cleanliness, amenities and ohh that linen was sooo comfortable. The concierge was amazing in arranging alternate travel with the collapse of our Australian airline carrier. As a whole this hotel including nightclub […] is five star plus. Only complaint was night time roadworks at the time, and a hotel protest one day. Extra alcohol at amazing pool bar helped this problem disappear. Modern you rock!!!!! Les mer

The Modern is a hip, hot beachside property. Great details, great staff, great location.

Loved the location, close to Ala Moana Shopping, short walk around Hilton Lagoon to the beach, staff were curtious, opted for the "Stay and Play" option that allowed me to enjoy another full day before my 11:00pm flight, Ilikai lobby adjacent offered full service store or ABC across street, restaurants and Mcdonalds next door, pool area's are exceptional, […] overall very satisfied with the Modern. Special thank you to the bell/valet staff who made it fun for my kids every time we interacted, secure elevators also a plus, Morimoto's in lobby was fabulous..defintely will be back! Les mer

We were very happy with our stay at the hotel. Staff was very courteous and helpful. I told my wife at times I felt like we were in South Miami Beach. A very hip hotel for young couples and yet for someone who is in his fifties I felt very comfortable myself. A short walking distance to the beach restaurants, shopping and night clubs.

If this is not the best place in Waikiki/Honolulu/Hawaii for a hotel stay then it would hit top 5 easy! We were greeted warmly at all points...from Henry and gang outside the door through to massage therapists and the best concierge to assist with our plans. The conciege made it easy for us to make plans of our own but assist with directions in getting […] there. Some hotels we found wanted to sell or upsell a package to make extra dollars. The Modern is also close enough to the airport for a taxi ride for under $35. They were there to make life easy without making decisions for you. All staff were professional and made one welcome, which we did experience in many hotels but not as smooth as this, it was seamless and made our stay so much more memorable. It seemed they were doing there tasks as if it was very important that guests were treated right. We had the best stay! The room was ideal, facilities just right on from the pool and beach, gym, and then the loccation was just what we wanted...not too close to have the noise of all Waikiki banging at your window, but so close it was an easy walk. The Ala Moana Center was only a few minutes walk the other way which afforded us the opportunity to buy other things, which make the certain stores look limited and expensive for groceries. Romantically, on top of all the other things, made this an ideal 50th birthday. Can't thank The Modern enough. Super job for us! Planning to go again next year even now. Les mer

They charged me $50 for my two pound puppy to stay that was not disclosed on Hotels.com. My iPhone charger went missing when I valet parked my car. I made a report and the parking attendant and I searched the car and my overnight bag just in case it got misplaced. I made a report with the security guard. All of this at 6:00 am when I was rushing to […] leave. I called the next day and asked to be reimbursed for my charger. I spoke with the security guard who sent me to a manager who said he had to call me back and let me know what they could do. Four days Later and no call back. Ridiculous. Hte bed was nice but the rooms are small. The prices are silly for an old property that has w new prom dress on. The pool area is great if you want that. Never going back. I am I Honolulu very two weeks. Cn gt many more amenities and better service for less elsewhere with beach access. Les mer

This hotel is one of the few hotels and resorts in Honolulu that have been updated. Rooms are hotel style but very comfortable and very clean and plenty of room.

Great Hotel.Loved everything from the lobby to the lanais.Rooms are spacious and well appointed.The white and natural wood combination is both modern and crisp.Liked the simple splash of color.Great view of Honolulu Harbor and the ocean.Can't wait to get back there.Stunning views from every area.....great for romance or business!

Polite staff, very clean rooms, Morimoto's is wonderful

Stayed for 5 nights. The room has 2 full beds; (we are 3 in the room) clean, has small ref and free internet. No microwave nor coffee maker. This place is in the outskirts of Waikiki and to get to Waikiki we walked along the beach by the Hilton Hawaiian Village and Hale Koa. We have a view of the harbor, city and partial view of the ocean. I prefer […] this location than staying in Waikiki. This is a better than average hotel but not a luxury hotel. I was happy with our stay for the price that we paid except for: 1. Our paid reservation not in the hotel's computer but we were accommodated anyway. 2. Assigned on the 15th floor near the elevator. Could hear the noise from the street and the elevator. 3. Valet parking is $29.32 per day. No self parking Les mer

We stayed at the Modern for one night as a stopover on our way to Maui. It's a gorgeous hotel with very comfortable and clean rooms and a beautiful pool area. The hotel lets itself down on service though. In the afternoon, we came down to the pool and said that we wanted drinks and snacks and were told a server would be with us shortly. We waited 25 […] minutes before anybody came. We then ordered 2 drinks, fries and chips and salsa. It took more than one hour for the food to come - and this is stuff that requires almost no cooking! There was no apology or explanation for the wait. We had the same trouble when trying to pay our bill. We actually gave the waiter our money and while waiting for change he (for the first time) came and asked us how were were doing and if we needed anything. Oh well - it's still a lovely hotel but this one particular element wasn't up to scratch. Les mer

The Modern Honolulu delivered far more than we were expecting. It's seemingly very recent transformation from 60's cinder block to stunning modern contemporary beachside chic is beautifully handled. Large airy minimally styled spaces, restrained colour palette, roomy bathrooms, great views. Service was uniformally top notch from reception to poolside […] to concierge - all of whom seem to love their work. Food by the pool is delicious. Located next to Hilton lagoon - and only minutes from waikiki beach. We found the location ideal - as it's on the edge of waikiki rather than in the middle of it - so you can escape the madness and crowds. Local bus right on the corner. 5 minute walk to Ala Moana shopping centre. Would definitely stay here again. Les mer

Hotel was very very good. Only complaint was that the room was near the hotel's air condition system so it was extremely noisy/loud. I would recommend a room above the 8th floor. Initial check-in staff was not very friendly or helpful when I requested a room above the 4th floor even though I told her this was a very special occasion for us. The front […] desk personnel afterwards were very helpful and accommodating unlike the first person we encountered. The hotel amenities and service were outstanding. The only issue was one of the bathroom's light was not working and the 9-5 pm housekeeping was not very good and did not refill the bathroom toiletries unless asked. They did, however, replace the towels. The evening housekeeper was excellent, even filled our ice bucket and gave us two bottles of water. The owner/chef of the restaurant in the hotel is a chef from the TV show "Iron Chef" Les mer

It is with great reluctance that I write to share what an amazing hotel this is for fear that it will become overcrowded and impossible to book in the future! There is nothing like it on Waikiki or probably in Honolulu, period. Congrats on a cool concept, superb staff, and amazing amenities! I will only stay here going forward.

I stay at hotels every week on business travel, and avoided ranking this excellent for all. This hotel has a nice gym, and a cool pool (not really large enough for swimming - more for the coolness factor). It is just round the corner from the Hilton lagoon, so you could take kids there to swim properly. Service at the front office was great, like an […] LA ultra cool hotel, but back office was spotty. They tried hard, but made too many mistakes. No bad experiences, just phone calls saying "you forgot to do X". Room itself was nice, huge flat screen TV with decent channels, shower flow rate was kind of low. I'd stay there again (this was my second stay there). Les mer

This is one of my favorite hotels I have stayed at. It's clean, the rooms are inspirational and cozy and the over all atmosphere is inviting! Kid-friendly as well. The Morimoto restaurant is a bonus and definitely worth dining at. The location is perfect for anyone in need of adding to their wardrobe. Enjoy!!!

I love the hotel. It is beautiful,small and cozy. I went for business and it was perfect. Food was great. I will recommend it for couples, friends and business people. I don't think it is the best place for a family with kids. Only think, It is a little noisy on the mornings and the beep for the elevator is laud. I will stay next year at this ho […] tel. Les mer

Nice hotel that we got a good price (I don't think that their normal full asking price would be worth it). Staff was helpful, rooms and grounds clean. A bit too white and gray though, it reminded me of an Abercrombie & Fitch store. A little bit of color would have been nice since it's Hawaii and still could have been 'modern.' Pool looked very nice, […] though we never used it.The whole hotel had a very young feeling, and more like techo euro. I'd stay again if I could get the same deal. Les mer
