Surfjack Hotel & Swim Club, Honolulu

The property was clean, had a fun atmosphere and the pool was nice!

The parking they claim is validated but at the end of your stay they charge you for the parking. That threw us off. On top of that the parking structure they use is a little 7ish minute walk away.

Perfect, location we love staying at this hotel!!

great one bedroom on the 9th floor, A/C was great, bathroom was nice and clean, appreciate the water dispenser on main floor to fill up my water bottle

no breakfast, happy hour ended too early

Cute! Funky and fun.

No parking onsite

We stayed for 4 nights. Loved the whole vibe of the place, it had personality. Good value for Waikiki, parking was also extremely reasonable and only a short walk away. The staff were always lovely.

We had an ongoing issue with our hot water throughout the whole stay. It was very intermittent. We did raise it with staff and were advised it was due to the fact we were situated on a lower level and the hot water came from the top.

Location Staff very friendly Good service

Small pool but ok for what it is!

I just loved the friendly, relaxed vibe.

A few minor maintenance things. Nothing to spoil the stay.

Location super. Off one block from th ‘nice’ area but close enough to feel close enough The VIBE though. Daytime is like meh, cute, okay. Then NIGHTIME, turns into a super fun, moody lighting, adult open veranda dinner spot with great live music and excellent bar, food service. Really surprising little gem. Keep open mind and lean into the experience. Not a chain, it’s boutique one off where the owners have invested in experience! Not lipstick.

Hate to say but want best for the hotel: Little things like room needs mildew buildup of mildew at shower stall ceiling cleaned/rectified. The touch up painter got ran down paint swipes in the bathroom fresh door glass. Elevator felt ‘dirty’ smelling and while glancing up lotta dust buildup around ceiling compartment. Just a little more eye to detail and this place could soar!

Room was good size. Bed was comfortable. Hot water for shower was good. Free good quality coffee in the morning. Staff were very friendly. Our request for a hot water kettle was quickly attended to.

My room look out directly into a car park.

I really liked the size of the property. It wasn’t too big or too small.

Parking was probably not my most favorite, especially when I forgot to get my ticket validated and had to backtrack.

Great location. Cute boutique hotel. Loved the $10/day parking (a rare perk). We got a complimentary upgrade upon arrival and it made the stay even better! Really good value relative to other hotels and airbnbs nearby.

Nothing. We had a great stay!

The laid back unassuming atmosphere. Small boutique size. Onsite restaurant very good

Slightly tired unkept-up feel of decor. Needs a revamp but encourage keeping the surfbeach-shack chic which we loved.

The location was excellent and the rooms were large.

There was a malfunction in the elevator and it created a pinging sound all night.

Chill vibe, good sized room, comfy bed, coffee shop adjacent to the hotel

Although it is supposed to be a kind of retro hotel, some facilities could be renovated

Cute hotel, a short walk from the beach, shops and restaurants. The room was very spacious and the bed vas super comfortable! Hotel provides beach bag and towels and there were sunscreen dispensers around the pool. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Chill vibe, clean room, loved the live music each evening. Staff were welcoming and very friendly. Aircon was a lifesaver

Room was a little smaller than I hoped and it made placing our luggage a bit harder but overall very comfy stay

Great hotel with kind staff. Loved the live music and restaurant was delicious.

Loved the charm, the location, and price.

Pool wasn’t very private. Visible wear and tear in rooms.

Great location, lovely staff, comfortable room

Abit shabby around the edges. Not bad, but noticeable

The atmosphere created around the pool, of welcome and relaxation, made me feel very comfortable. The restaurant food was delicious and the staff always ready to help.

The difficulties parking a high 4WD vehicle in a low carpark was the only thing that marred the visit.

Fabulous hotel in Waikiki, chill vibes and awesome staff.

Nothing.

Value for money, good location

It is a dog hotel so sometimes there are constant barking from neighbours Swimming pool is also used by dogs so consider that before booking

design is great, vintage surfer feel. coffee is great. A very good deal for parking .

front desk was slow when checking in, no laundry room.

Lovely staff, great pool, upgraded us for free

The building is very dated and has been renovated but there are still many signs of the original space. For example, the hallways and elevators are very old, and there is no sound proofing between rooms.

This hotel is simple yet lovely! The staff were so friendly and managed to get us checked in early as our flight arrived early morning. The pool area is beautiful and we enjoyed our swim there. The cafe on site offers 10% off for guests and they have a delicious strawberry matcha! The location was perfect! A very short walk to the main street downtown and Waikiki Beach. A highlight is that it’s a dog-friendly hotel, so we got to meet plenty of cute floofs including the hotel’s mascot, Jack!

The pool lounge chairs don't have umbrellas and didn't have a convenient spot to put an umbrella. If you’re swimming during the day it can be hard to get some shade by the pool.

Great location. Smaller boutique hotel. Great staff.

Great location! You can easily walk to the main street. Room is clean. Staff is super friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the Honolulu. Parking fee is a huge plus. $10 a day and only 2 blocks away.

Room is a bit smaller than expected. But considering all other aspects, I couldn’t ask for more.

Super nice vibe, clean - everyone was very helpful and friendly!

Nothing!

The people at the front desk were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The live music each night is beautiful and sets a lovely ambience. Rooms were clean and beautifully made up. Everything about our stay was perfect and location is also great.

The staff are lovely and very helpful. The room was nice and cozy. Location was also great. Very close to the shops and the beach which we loved!

The rooms were clean and the bed was comfortable. Easy access to various places. Restaurant on site was lovely. Overall great vibe

Nothing

Good location, walking distance to the beach and main strip. Beds were comfortable and nice to have a cafe downstairs with good coffee. Pool was nice too.

Nothing

great small hotel,the staff were excellent always happy and willing to assist. free water and coffee in lobby and music in the evenings by the pool. Great vibes all round! Will definitely stay again

nothing

The Surferjack was a great hotel with a boutique feel. It's smaller and therefore more personal than some of the massive hotels in the area. I stayed here for 11 nights and the staff were friendly, the pool was a lovely spot to chill out and the hotel just had a great vibe. The rooms were nice and live music in the evenings added great atmosphere. There were lots of restaurants, bars and shops within a 5 min walk. Overall the hotel was great value.

It was a little annoying that the pool closes for an hour each afternoon to set up for dinner. This happens around 5 PM and it re-opens for adult only swim after. Unfortunately, this occasionally coincided with us returning from our daily activities and the pool was closed or closing when what we really wanted was a swim and a drink by the pool before getting ready to go out for the evening.

Friendly vibe. Good location. Lovely room. Live music.

Nothing

This small boutique hotel was a pleasant surprise for our stay in Oahu. This hotel was truly an excellent value. They host weekly and nightly events, the staff are more than welcoming and accommodating, and it is extremely well located within Waikiki. Any time we left the hotel, it was only a 10 minute walk to the beach and shopping. We had plans for dinner in the area but opted to stay at the hotel for the live music and stellar happy hour. The rooms were not over the top but met all of our needs and we even received a surprise upgrade for our group - so we were more than happy with our stay. Service came daily and our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable upon arrival. 10/10 would recommend.

It is a slightly older hotel (but that is the whole point of a vintage place)! Otherwise, we were very happy with our stay.

The staff were amazing, the room was fantastic, location great. I would recommend this again and again to anyone visiting Waikiki.

Fun atmosphere, good music, clean, friendly and attentive staff, comfortable room with cute decor

Restaurant was just okay. Food did not come out as ordered but no discount provided

Great standard, friendly and helpfully staff, perfect location.

The Surfjack was perfect for our trip! We wanted to explore the island, hike, swim, snorkel, relax, and eat great food. The Surfjack helped us do all of that. $10 parking, towels and beach chairs to use, a nice pool to come back and relax in, a clean, comfy, and stylish room. Super kind and helpful staff.

If you want to stay right on the beach and just relax, this wouldn’t be my pick.

Great location and friendly staff!

Housekeeping is lacking in details.

Friendly staff and location was great, place was nice and clean

Location is everything! Surfjack is in the heart of Waikiki.

The vibe is fantastic, way better than the larger resort places. The pool was clean and pretty quiet most of the time. The coffee shop attached was great. The live music each night over the pool was a nice touch. The rooms were clean modern and much more stylish than a generic Hilton or Marriott or whatever room.

The cafe closes at 2pm so get the coffees in at lunch

Friendly, professional staff,Live music, clean, great location, great parking,

Nothing I can think of.

The hotel was in a good location, short walking distance to the beach. Nice atmosphere friendly staff and the pool was also cute with the message "wish you were here".

Good location, pool and spacious room with comfortable bed.

Great location, great food, great music entertainment

Great staff, Good food at bar, Clean and well appointed rooms

We had a hire car and booked this hotel for a number of reasons including the availability of a car parking spot - but our hire car did not fit under the low clearance in the off site parking complex that the hotel uses. This was a significant and costly inconvenience and think this key height restriction information should be readily available in booking info and when contacting the hotel directly about car spots.

Located right in the heart of Waikiki, this hotel is a more affordable option compared with hotels closer to the beach, and is better in just about every other respect: cool vibe, hip furnishings, young friendly staff, excellent restaurant and bar, a good cafe next door serving decent flat whites, nice design (retro motel feel around a central swimming pool but with sweet music, and even market stalls one evening). Stay back from the over-commercialised beach strip and you get a better deal and more atmosphere.

It can be a struggle to secure one of the tables at the bar/restaurant if you haven't booked, which felt a little disappointing as a paying guest. Maybe try and squeeze a few more tables around the pool?!
