great place We got back a week ago from a week long stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. I read some of the reviews before we left, and cannot understand what all of the complaining was for from some of the reviews that I read. We had an absolutely great time. The hotel was completely booked (President's Week), and we estimated that with 3,000 rooms, there were approximately 10,000 guests that week, but you would never know it. You did need to go down early to get a lounger by the superpool, but that was nothing to complain about. The staff was courteous, the rooms were terrific and the view was to die for! The hotel grounds are beautiful and there really is no reason to leave the hotel grounds. We did go on day journeys but also enjoyed the days sitting by the pool or on the beach (which just happens to be the best part of Waikiki Beach.) I would go back to this hotel in a heartbeat and would recommend it without hesitation.
There's no place like HHV! Just returned from our third visit to Hawaii and the Hilton Hawaiian Village (March 7-13). I cannot imagine staying anywhere other than HHV. It is like visiting an old and cherished friend. Our last two visits have been spent in the Ali Tower and the staff there is wonderful. You can quickly become spoiled to the twice a day maid service and the nightly turn-down service. You would have a wonderful vacation if you never left the Village. Everything you can possibly need or want is there. I even look forward to the almost daily trips to the ABC store! Just steps away from the beach, HHV is truly a part of paradise!
Excellent Stay Spent only 1 night in the Kahlia tower on the executive floor. I found the staff to be top notch, very friendly and professional. The room in the Kahlia tower was newly built and very luxurious, with a small patio and a great view out to sea. The resort is very large with many shops and a great selection of restaurants. We chose to leave the property and go next door for dinner to Kobe Steakhouse, well worth the walk. Over all this is a great resort for either a stop over before your Hawaiian vacation or even a week long visit. Expect resort prices for food and drink, but good quality.
Best Hotel on Waikiki Beach! This is my second stay at this hotel. The service is wonderful and they have the nicest, cleanest and widest beach. They try their best to accommodate all guests' requests in spite of being one of the busiest hotels in the area! A wide choice of restaurants and shops. If you have the $$, would definitely recommend it. There's no other hotel like the HHV on Waikiki Beach!
disappointing Was on the 31st floor of the Rainbow tower. Decor and furnishings are right from the 1970s. Walls are paper-thin - was kept awake by a crying baby next door. Hot water took about 20 mins to arrive. Extractor fan in the ceiling was full of hair. If I had been paying any more than the conference rate, I'd be upset! Very disappointing
loved it We stayed only one night after staying on Maui and loved it. The hotel was expensive but we were on the waikiki side on a high floor and the view was incredible. Worth it!
Loyal Hilton guest says.nice hotel but average resort Beach and ocean view from the 20th floor of Rainbow Tower

Summary

The hotel is very large and can accommodate thousands of guests but it still has that personal touch. It has a lot of shops and a selection of restaurants to attend. A perfect venue for those on their way through Hawaii. Whilst luxurious unfortunately the room has walls that are paper-thin. There is a nice view out to the sea however. You will feel spoiled by the twice-daily maid service provided. There is a good selection of restaurants available at the hotel. It is worth noting that you need to get down to the pool early if you would like a lounger, but it is worth doing.
