Not close to the beach.
Posted Jul 24, 2014Staff's attitude variable. Housestaff is great and deserving of tips. The hotel is far from Waikiki beach. It's a good walk if you want to go swimming.

Hotel being half converted into condos...
Posted Jul 23, 2014Rooms are old, carpet stained, but they did try to put a fridge, a non working safe and coffee maker in the room. Coffee supply was only for the first nite. Not replaced all thru my 5 days stay

Pretty good for the price
Posted Jul 14, 2014I wish I had spent a little more to stay somewhere else, but overall no complaints. They advertise as a discount hotel, and that's exactly what it is.

terrible
Posted Jul 7, 2014Pros: nothing
Cons: the air con unit very very noisy affecting our sleep! bigger and newer tv! a bigger fridge that shud be located on top of the drawers!
very old hotel. not worth the amount of money we paid at all!!! would not recommend this to anyone and would not stay at again!! This hotel should not be at the price we paid for it! It should not have reached a $200 night price range!!

Well, we only stayed for one night. The pool is pretty nice but that's it. The beds are very uncomfortable and the rooms were not really clean. We would not go there again even if the price is good.

Nice hotel, lovely staff
Posted Jun 12, 2014Enjoyed my two night stay at the Hawaiian Monarch Hotel. It's not terribly close to beaches but was convenient and the staff was most helpful.

Booked for a company trip to do some work in the area. It was well located close to downtown and was overall a nice hotel.

Rundown, shabby, and not too clean
Posted May 26, 2014Pros: The location
Cons: Everything. It needs paint, repairs, cleaning. The air conditioning (necessary in Hawaii) was a small old noisy wall unit.
Location: Near shopping, and Waikiki Beach.
You get what you pay for, and you didn't pay much here. The Monarch is threadbare even for a budget hotel. I doubt that any major renovation or repair have been done since the 1970's. Furniture and TV are very old and need to be replaced. The air conditioning is a small, very old, noisy wall unit that had two temperatures--warm and warmer. Both the room and the bathroom could have been cleaner. The hotel staff was either very helpful ( the gentleman who checked us in) to miserable (the woman who checked us out). The hotel is in a good location. If you are going to Honolulu, spend the extra money and upgrade to a better hotel. You won't be sorry.
