We had such a great stay at White Sands Hotel! The location was perfect, just a short walk to Waikiki Beach, restaurants, shopping, and everything we wanted to explore. The hotel has such a cute, tropical retro vibe and honestly felt like a little hidden oasis in the middle of Waikiki. We especially loved the pool area and the fun swing bar it was such a nice place to relax after a day of exploring. The staff were also friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Our room was comfortable and having a balcony was a nice touch. The hotel isn’t a huge luxury resort, but for the location, atmosphere, and overall experience, we thought it was a great choice!

Really great hotel for the price. It’s an older building so there’s no elevator and carrying your bags to the 3rd floor isn’t fun. The staff helped with the bags on the way up. Parking/valet is not as smooth as it could be because the valet is across the street and they stop taking cars at a certain time so we had to go to a different lot. The rooms are spacious and the ac works well. Beds were comfy and staff was nice. I would stay here again

Poolside is perfect to sit during the day and the hotel is perfectly placed by the international Waikiki market to roam around during the day and nighttime.

We stayed for 6 days and 5 nights, and we liked the place overall. The staff was very friendly during the check-in and checkout process. They made sure we're comfortable and we have what we need during our stay. The room was spacious, just the way we like it. It's worth the price. I like how they did housekeeping every day to make sure our room was clean. I recommend this place for people who don't want to spend money on expensive hotels. Especially if you always go out to explore Oahu.
