Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki is worth booking if you want a Waikiki base with a pool and gym at well under half the price of our other two Honolulu picks. Skip it if a high guest score matters most, since its 8.0 sits near the bottom of the hotels we compared.

Budget-minded couples and friends who will spend most of the day out are the best match. Guests say the beach, shopping centres and restaurants are within walking distance, and there is a bus stop outside. A pool, a gym and a restaurant are listed, which is a fair set of facilities at this price.
If you want the best-rated hotel you can find, this is not it. And if you are driving, read the parking comments below before you commit.
Location and getting around
The address is 1830 Ala Moana Boulevard, in the Waikiki area. By straight-line estimate, the Honolulu Museum of Art is 2.4 km away, about 30 minutes on foot. ʻIolani Palace is 3.3 km, around 41 minutes, which is far enough that most people will take a bus or taxi. The Bishop Museum is 6.4 km, about 80 minutes, so you will need public transport or a taxi to get there.
Guests rate the location 8.8 and point out the bus stop outside the hotel. Walking times are estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
The score is 8.0 out of 10 from 1,279 reviews. That placed it 13th of the 14 hotels in our sample on score alone, so expectations should match a budget stay. On the positive side, guests describe a friendly, helpful team with a warm welcome and attentive service, and they like being able to walk to the beach, shops and restaurants.
Parking draws the main criticism. There is a secure on-site facility, but spaces are tight and capacity is sometimes limited. Parking fees are not confirmed in our data.
Price and what you get against our other two picks
The reference price was €129.77 per night, about €259.54 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. The sample median was €211.47 per night, so this was 39% below a typical Honolulu rate.
Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani - NO RESORT FEE, our Best Value pick, was €320.02 per night with a 9.1 score and 4 stars. Aston Waikiki Beach Tower, our Luxury pick, was €550.63 per night with 9.4 and 5 stars. The gap is large: you save around €190 a night against the Best Value pick, and you give up more than a full point of guest score in exchange.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 14 eligible hotels in Honolulu. The Budget slot goes to the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale pick is set aside, and this was it. Its score is modest, but 8.0 from more than 1,200 reviews is a reasonable floor for a city where prices run high.
