We almost chose this hotel since we like interesting unconventional places but were leery as we have been burned by the "funky" factor before. We chose instead a more expensive safe bet big box hotel for our Honolulu vacation. I wish now we had chosen The Breakers. I stopped by there today to check it out. Yes, it is old and a bit dated but so much as to be kinda cool again. The attendent was very friendly. It is in a terrific location near our favorite beach area in a park with trees. The rooms were simple but clean. It is a quiet spot yet close to all the Waikiki hubbub. If we visit Waikiki again we will stay here.

If you really want the experience of Hawaii, stay at The Breakers. The staff are unbelievable. I can't say enought good things about the wonderful people who work there.
The room is old, but who cares, the rest of the property makes up for it.
I was fortunate to stay for a week, Jan 20th to 28th, wasn't long enough, already started saving for a 2 week stay!!

We have been staying at the Breakers Hotel for years and love it. An old time relaxing hideaway in the tourist frenzy of Waikiki she is one of a kind. The staff is superb, one of the friendliest around without being overbearing. One of our favorite places in the islands which we visit every year.

I always stay here on my trips to Waikiki and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. The location is perfect for young families and seasoned vacationers alike with two storey buildings surrounding a pool courtyard. For those who stay for an extended period of time, there is a fully equipped kitchen in each room to save on dining-out costs. The staff and guests are all very friendly and depending on the time of year, you may run into some familiar folk. Happy hour can sometimes start early and carry on into the late evening! But not to worry, there are quiet rooms in the back of the courtyard. Visit this gem and get a taste of what Hawaii was like before big development.
