I'm kind of shocked to read all the great reviews of this hotel. It was an inexpensive hotel for the area yes, but grungy and worn. The bed was very uncomfortable. Maybe people are happy not to see bugs or whatnot, but nothing really great to relay about this place. more

Stayed at the Ilima for three nights - one night in January and two nights in February. Our plabe arrived quite early - 7am and we arrived at the Ilima at about 8.30am after quite a long shuttle ride. Even though check-in time was 3pm the friendly staff at the desk made a room available and checked us in straight... more

This modest hotel is only two blocks famous WaiKiKi beach. The smallest room was still huge with full kitchen, clean, slightly dated decor with a lot of pink. Free on-site parking, plesant staff. We found it to be a great value. more

We had a condo reserved on the Windward side of the island and it turned out to be a high priced dump. We checked out and tried to find a hotel in Waikiki. We were very surprised when a room at this hotel was available. They showed us a room and quoted the rate and we were sold. Nice hotel,... more

A terrific place to stay. We had a party of six, three rooms and spent 10 nights. Location is near the Ala Wai canal and about 2 1/2 blocks from the beach. The view of the mountains was awesome. Our rooms were the studio superior style and we had plenty of room. An older hotel so the rooms were not... more

We stayed at the Ilima Dec 4. thru Dec. 9. Because of Pearl Harbor Day and the Honolulu Marathon rooms were scarce. We followed a previous TripAdvisor post and requested the 14th floor with a mountain view and got room 1402, mountain view. We were very pleased with the room: a king and queen bed, kitchenette with range+oven, coffee maker,... more

walked in off the street in search of a quiet and comfortable room. friendly staff, extremely helpful, hassle free check in, room was spacious, clean, kitchenette was well appointed, nice view of the mountains (esp. with approaching Hurricane). what i particularly appreciated was the fact that besides the obligatory Bible in the bedside drawer there was also about the teachings... more

When staying for more than a day or so, I try to book a suite that doesn't cost a fortune. This is almost impossible in high-cost cities such as Honolulu, but the Ilima is the blessedly delightful exception. For less than the cost of a single room at a beach-front hotel, I booked a two-bedroom suite at the Ilima which... more

We have just stayed at the Ilima and thought it was great for what we needed. We upgraded our room from a studio to a one bedroom and were happy with what we were given. It was clean and well presented and had most things we needed during our stay. The daily maid service was great too. Its located just... more
