As a young student traveling to Hawaii, this hotel was perfect as if fit within my budget while still being centrally located in the Waikiki area. The staff was very friendly and serviced my room daily (new towels, made the bed, replaced the coffee packets) and agreed to store my luggage after I checked out at 11:00am, but didn't need... more

Okay, so it's an old hotel but if you want a clean room and aren't looking for overpriced luxuries, this is the place to stay. Yes, it was a little noisy, but that's just part of life these days. Earplugs are cheap and worked great. We could hear what was going on outside but never heard anything from our neighbors.... more

I am retired and travel extensively. I have visited Hawaii often enough to know how expensive accommodation is, even for the budget traveler. I have just completed a 3 months stay on 3 of the 4 major islands and staying at the Holiday Surf for the last 27 days was the best deal I made on this trip. I was... more

Folks this hotel sucks. Just been there and it the most terrible hotel I've ever stayed in my life. No...... it not even a hotel, I'd hardly even call it a motel. I've fallen for the nice pictures of rooms they posted on the website, but don't do it it's a trap. Everything is old and nasty in this hotel.... more

Almost doesn't even qualify as a hotel at all and may not even rate as 1 star. "Quaint?" I don't think so. Unless you mean "Old and Rundown." I would never stay here again!! The local "live-ins" are noisy and inconsiderate. The overall quality and experience is far less than even a sub-standard Motel 6. There are far better values... more

Well, it isn't the fanciest hotel in Waikiki, very basic decor and not very exciting from the outside, but the staff are friendly, the rooms are clean and they know your name. I'm staying in a 1-bedroom with lots of space for 2 adults and 2 children. The Suite is comfortable and has quite a few amenities that aren't in... more

My young son I stayed at the Holiday Surf for 10 days in June. Staying there reminded me of what old Honolulu may have been like... the staff were very friendly and available upon any request...especially the housecleaning staff who made an extra effort every day to keep our room neat and clean. The decor and furnishings were in good... more

The hotel is ok. We were in room 305 and it was a little run down but clean. The office staff was very helpful and friendly as well. The best things about the Location. It is several blocks from the beach and real close to the International Market and many places to eat. Debbie Chow (works at the desk) is... more

Dear m/m general public, There are way too many people that have plenty to say on negative experiences. I for one when something is good or someone does something good think they should be told that it made me feel good for there efforts. And sometimes there is a problem. If one asks in a pleasant way most hotels will... more
