We stayed at the Surfjack Hotel for 10 nights in June and I couldn’t be happier with the hotel and the staff. The hotel has a sick vibe with interesting artwork and a funky pool area. We stayed in a double queen room on level 3 and the room was clean, comfortable and the cleaners were super nice. The shower had a good waterfall-like spray and there was enough room for the two of us. When we got to the hotel, we were a bit early and the room wasn’t ready but the staff were very nice and it gave us a chance to wander around Waikiki for an hour. The Mahina and Sons restaurant was really great - expensive but the food was good quality. Meals are generally so much bigger than in Australia so I was happy to have the smaller meals at the restaurant some mornings and nights. The bar and wait staff were very lovely! And the Olive and Oliver cafe adjacent to the hotel had the best coffee in Honolulu! The hotel was a few streets back from the beaches and I think that’s a plus - there are interesting shops and restaurants around it and a convenient ABC Shop two doors down. There’s also a gay bar next door which was a cool surprise. The staff helped us rent a car, and the valet dude were also really nice and very quick. Thank you for a great trip.

Wouldn’t want to stay elsewhere in Waikiki. True paradise in between all those big chain hotels. Laid-back atmosphere, contemporary & funky decor and great location (a couple of blocks from the beach). Very friendly and helpful staff. There was free coffee available in the pool area which we enjoyed every morning. The only thing that was a bit pricey is the parking with $35/night (you can’t just park your car on the road, there are meters everywhere) and be aware that a $25/room amenity fee will be added to your daily room rate. Would 100% recommend staying here and hope to return one day.

This is a fresh review, checked out of the hotel in mid June. Had high hopes for this hotel as we stumbled on it during a trip to Waikiki last year and thought we would give it a go, we booked for three nights and wanted to leave the following morning, however we toughed it out. We booked a Bungalow and it was tiny, we aren’t large people by any stretch however the bed would be fit for a child under 10 not two adults, so if you’re keen on this place scale up. Items of note, very little storage for luggage, tiny bathroom, the hallway to the sleeping area would be less than a metre wide so it’s challenging to ingress and egress with any grace. The pool looks great and is very pleasant although it is also tiny, during our stay the hotel was full of families with small children which basically overran the area during the day, it does become an adults only pool after 6PM which makes for a nice pre dinner swim although it’s also fully shaded by then. On the 16th (fathers day) we decided to have breakfast within the hotel at Mahina & Suns, we didn’t book, as house guests we thought it wouldn’t be an issue.... wrong, the hostess paused, looked around an empty restaurant and said she could squeeze us in.. while we ate and drank not one other patron entered the restaurant. My main gripe is the noise, the hotel is old like many hotels within Waikiki but this place is full of hard surfaces so every knock, every time someone closes a door you hear it all, LNC. The Surfjack is also trying to be too many things in my opinion, just be a hotel or become a swim club. My positive for this place is the crew out the front that assist with car-parking/valet, these guys are accomodating and pleasant to deal with, hats off to these guys. Location is central, a little sketchy at night with a lot of people that appear to be homeless roaming around, very sad and it appears that’s it’s becoming a bigger issue issue each time we are in Honolulu. An ABC Store on the corner is also a positive. The highlight is the attached espresso bar Olive & Oliver, i’ll review this business separately as it’s a Waikiki highlight I’ll continue to frequent it in the future.
