Everything about this hotel is good. Starting with check in process we were welcomed with pineapple drinks and provided with all the information about local attractions and transportation options. Staff is really caring and helpful. Breakfast is really good, we stayed for 4 days and couple of days we had to start early by 6:30 and we were provided with fruit bowl upon request otherwise usual breakfast starts from 7 and has lot of good options. Coffee is available all day. Housekeeping came every day and kept the room clean. Best part is they provided beach gear like umbrellas towels and chairs which was very helpful to spend time on the beach which is just 3 mins walk from hotel. Location is great for all the nearby places and restaurants. Would stay there again if in Waikiki.

The valet service and valets were wonderful throughout the stay. The car was always ready immediately and every interaction was filled with joy and information. The front desk also has joyful people offering efficient check-in and helpful tips. The welcome juice at check-in is a lovely touch. The daily breakfast from 6-9:30 has a rotating egg & meat combo, at least 6 cut fruits, loads of pastries & muffins, oatmeal, cereal, with coffee & juice. I'm unsure why this huge spread is only considered a continental breakfast, there's an abundance to choose from. It's kept well-stocked and clean by a great crew. The free, unlimited borrowing of beach gear includes boogie boards, chairs, mats, umbrellas, kids sand toys, bug spray, & sunscreen & are in a help yourself room you access with your room key. What a great touch! The room is small but very efficient. The a/c is STRONG! The bed is comfortable. Strong water pressure. It's a laid-back vibe that was helpful in Hon olulu, a city that's a little stressful with lots of traffic and pedestrians. It feels like a boutique hotel that cares about your stay, not just your payment or the space you take up. I was very pleased with the price, and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Location is top. 2 minutes to the beach, great coffee right downstairs, plus nigiri and poke places nearby. The hotel itself is average. Nice view from the window, but the building and rooms are clearly showing signs of wear and tear. There were ants in the room (apparently that's normal here), the hair dryer didn't work, and the pillows smelled… The food was terrible: sweet, full of sugar and unhealthy. Even though our breakfasts were prepaid, we ended up buying our own. The hotel oatmeal was like animal feed. Pretty poor considering Hawaii's fresh culinary scene… On the bright side, the staff were attentive and super nice.

The location really cannot be beat. Quick (3min walk) access to the beach, 10min walk to all the shopping places and good restaurants including a couple of excellent food stalls right across the street. Rooms are small but well maintained, walls are pretty thin, AC unit is strong, views are mediocre but you’re so close to the beach so how much time would you be spending in your room anyways? Service is excellent, with a comprehensive set of beach gear free to borrow. A few books and board games as well if you’re up for those. Breakfast buffet saves you quite a bit of money and includes a verity of tropical fruits. 24h coffee and infused ice water. Rooms come with a safe and a large TV where you can watch Netflix and YouTube. Bed was large and very comfy. Showers had strong water pressure and heating. Floors are carpeted which does trap sand. Overall excellent value for money!

The breakfast is really good. The room was cozy and clean. This hotel is so walkable to places to eat, entertainment and shopping. It's like a 3 minute super easy walk to the beach. We really enjoyed this beautiful boutique hotel. The staff! So, so friendly, helpful, courteous and made us feel like part of the family. All of the breakfast staff, cleaning staff, front desk, and especially the valet parkers. Arnel and his group rocks! You all made us feel safe and welcome. Hope to be back to our dream come true trip someday...and most definitely will rebook Vive Hotel. Mahalo and thank you...Andy and Angie and the entire Jimenez family🌴🌊🥰

This was a great place to stay at. My now fiancee and I switched to this hotel from another one we originally booked. So glad we did. The rooms weren't bad, the service desk was always helpful, the staff was so kind. The little breakfast buffet was great compared to high end hotel that have nothing complimentary. The fact they are only a block from the beach abd 10 minutes away from main street with food was awesome. Also that they let you check out beach equipment for FREE was great. Highly recommend and would stay there again.

We had a wonderful visit at Vivi Hotel Waikiki! The location is close to the beach. They have a $40 (50 after tax) that includes breakfast , beach rentals of chairs, cooler, umbrella. Staff is welcoming and friendly. It is also conveniently located to public bus stops which made it easy for us to navigate to local attractions. City bus transit was excellent.
