It was nice until I have to ask them more than two times to provide the scheduled housekeeping service they promised, fortunately one of the housekeepers told me she would do it the next day, and so she did. Besides that it’s a convenient place to stay and the public transportation is around the corner which is really helpful.

Room was clean. Staff was good. Would stay there again. They don’t have elevators so you would have to use the stairs but it is only three floors (rooms on main floor - no stairs if you’re unable to do stairs). I liked it

White Sands Hotel is a wonderful little gem set in the heart of Waikiki. It's not fancy but the rooms are comfortable and there is a quaint tiki bar with swinging chairs and delicious food. The pool is small but offers comfortable loungers and other seating in a comfortable tropical surrounding. The area offers lots of restaurants, cafes and shopping very close by which makes it a perfect location for an affordable, comfortable stay.
