Apr 20, 2025Great accommodation!!
Our stay at the Romer Waikiki at the Ambassador was fabulous. Friendly, helpful staff, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Location was good, we walked everywhere we needed to go. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

Apr 20, 2025Second time at Romer
The Romer is a safe and friendly hotel choice in Waikiki. Shopping and the beach are within walking distance. The staff is amazing and friendly. The only critique would be that housekeeping might be a bit under-staffed. It was my second time staying at Romer, love the boutique style pool and will stay again in the future.

Great honeymoon stay.
Friendly staff. Always ready to help you out with anything you need. Beautiful pool to lay about on but also only a 10min walk through a nice park to a good beech. The room had good upkeep and generous space. Excellent views in our corner room also. Good for those Friday night fireworks.

Apr 14, 2025It was decent and fit the budget.
We stayed here for Christmas and New Year. For the most part the room was comfortable but had some quirks. This was our first stay here but fourth time back to Waikiki. Normally we choose something closer to the beach but this was what fit the budget. The Room I found the bed very comfortable. Pillows were satisfactory and the size of the room was also satisfactory. I didn't really like the washroom. I'm a shorter person so I found the counter to be too high as compared to other hotels I've stayed at. The shower was extremely underwhelming. It took a good solid 15 to 20 mins before the water ever got hot, especially in the evening and we were on the 7th floor. The air conditioner worked fine but would shut off if you didn't close the lanai door properly. It was a bit finicky. The in-room "amenities" were a bit disappointing. There wasn't a real coffee maker in the room, just an electric kettle. There also wasn't any stationary if you needed to quickly jot something down. The Safe was a good size and could put a good amount of stuff in it. Definitely big enough for a laptop. The Hotel Overall the hotel was average. There were nice lounging areas and had a restaurant connected. We only ate there once as it didn't really appeal to us that much. There was a New Years Eve party by the pool which you had to pay extra to attend and were not even allowed to use pool that night. As a person who actually paid to stay at the hotel I didn't really appreciate that. The Beach Candy was a nice perk, and gave us the opportunity to try paddle boarding for the first time ever. The staff were friendly and accommodating. As a whole it was a good place to stay. The resort fee didn't really reflect what I thought it should have in the "amenities". That being said, I probably wouldn't choose this hotel in the future as I just found the walk to the beach to be too much everyday. We did buy a Trolley pass. Which was a huge life saver, but trying to schedule your pickups in a timely manner was a bit of an adventure. We felt like we wasted a lot of time just waiting for the bus most days. So the location of this hotel isn't ideal if you are hoping to get the most out of the beach. Like I said in the beginning, we've been to Waikiki several times and are quite familiar with the area so we kind of knew what to expect staying here. But if you are a first-timer, save your money till you can book something much closer to the beach and more in the heart of Waikiki. As someone who has experienced stays in different parts of Waikiki over the years I recommend staying more central. Especially if it's your first time. Your experience will be so much better. If however, you are more of a pool person and don't care for the beach this would be a good place as the pool area is fairly nice. All-in-all it's Hawaii! Enjoy!

Good experience except the resort fee and parking
The hotel has a good location to the beach, the room is very comfortable, staff were very nice. The only drawback is the parking, that you have to pay 51 dollars for a valet, so I have to park 20 mins walking every day to avoid paying the 51 dollars. Also, there's a resort fee of 45 dollars +taxes that I don't see a reason for it, we didn't get anything special to be worth it. We got 2 bottle of water and 2 lemonade for 370 dollars resort fee.
