The service by all the staff at the Trump International is impeccable. They are so friendly and helpful. I never encountered a staff member who was not smiling, from the front desk to the person bringing us extra waters to our rooms. The room layout is amazing, beautiful bathrooms with Italian marble, the ocean view room has such a great layout that when you sit on the couch, you have a 100% ocean view even though standing on the balcony your view is tilted to half being the ocean and half being the city, you get it all! The rooms also come with a refrigerator that they will daily (or if you call) and all the necessities you could want should you want to cook (silverware, pots, pans, blender, you name it...) and they wash your dishes for you daily. The complimentary beach bags with towels and fruit is also a great convenient service they offer. Buffet breakfast was delicious as well. Best hotel I’ve stayed at in Waikiki.

This hotel is a bit old, looks like it has been built for at least 20 years. So a lot of amenities are a bit outdated. Some of the ocean view rooms are also blocked by other hotels. We lived on 21st floor at the corner closest to the ocean, but we can only see two hotel buildings in front of us, cant see all the coast and beaches. We’re also a bit disappointed at the very small infinity pool. Compared to many other hotels, the pool is way too small, and you can only see surrounding hotels from the pool. The breakfast buffet is also a bit lacking. We only have the basic things, and there aren’t as many choices. The good thing is the room service. The service is fantastic, and the front desk is very helpful. Room is cleaned many times a day, the staff is detailed-oriented (draw all the curtains for you, cover all the open cups, etc.), and all our questions and requests are addressed excellently. Very pleasant experience.

We had a great stay! This is the fourth Trump property we have stayed at and we are always so impressed. The food and drinks at the restaurants were all very good. The infinity pool and hot tub was very relaxing and it was great that you could order drinks to be delivered there. We enjoyed a relaxing couples massage at the spa here. The location was great as it was only a block to the beach and you can easily walk to many restaurants and shops nearby. The valet parking was very convenient to use. It was great that the concierge provided towels for a beach day on your way out. Our room was very large including a bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette and balcony and was more reasonably priced than similar hotels in the area. My husband really enjoyed the bidet and heated seat in the bathroom, so much so that he wants to buy the same model for at home! We always enjoy the cozy Trump robes and slippers in your room, and we enjoyed the coffee and bottles water that was free in the room. Would definitely recommend!

I almost did not stay here because of the brand. I put that aside and am very thankful I did. The room was far better than any others we found in the area and the price was excellent. The room featured spa quality ameneties such as high-end products and a Toto Washlet bidet seat. We enjoyed our daily in room breakfast. Due to Covid-19 some facilities were not open. It was a most unusual hotel experience. I always feel as though most brands try to nickle and dime you. Overpriced minibars, telephone and internet fees, parking, etc. This room was a huge studio. It had a full fitchen and no mini bar. It felt as though the hotel made a conscious effort to encourage us to provide our own snacks and beverages if that is what we wished to do. The main reason I will return is the flawless service. Everyone always called me by name. Always. Services was always cheerful and friendly. Not in a sense that they were told to be friendly but genuinely so. I can't recommend this property strongly enough. Kudos to the top notch management - the ones below the nameplate.

From our arrival to our departure we felt pampered. Maiko was our greeter. She brought us cold cloths, ice water and kukui & shell leis. We had the rise & dine package. Every day started with a beautiful breakfast buffet. The In-Yo Cafe has an excellent staff. We had such excellent service by: Krislyn, Dennis, John, Harry, Shaq and others. They were always smiling and working hard. If we had travel questions they helped with those also. I wish I knew the names of the omelet chefs, the omelets were delicious! We utilized the concierge department also. Yuki and everyone there were always ready to assist us. Yuki gave us maps and great ideas for places not to miss. We enjoyed a few happy hours and dinners in the Wai’olu restaurant and had great servers. The Pool & Fitness Center were always clean and staffed with great people as well. We had a partial-ocean view room. It is 500 sq. Feet. Very comfortable with a kitchen as well. The housekeeping staff is phenomenal. We just called each day when we were going out and our room was spotlessly cleaned right away. Bottled water is always stocked. We were celebrating our Anniversary, sparking wine and Honolulu cookies awaited us in our room also. The Waikiki area is extremely busy, which made coming back to the relaxed atmosphere of the Trump so wonderful. The Trump is fantastic and the staff makes it Outstanding!

I haven’t been to Honolulu in more than fifteen years and decided on visiting to relax and see if the area is still appealing to me. The last time I went I didn’t have that great a time mainly because I choose a mediocre hotel. What a difference I had this time in terms of enjoyment. The Trump Waikiki lives up to its high ratings. Every single associate treated me so well whether I had breakfast at the In-Yo Cafe, when I ordered a drink at the pool or had dinner at Wai’Ola Ocean Cuisine.
The ocean view room I had on the 12th floor had a huge bathroom, luxurious bed and a spacious living area. I loved going out onto the balcony to enjoy the picturesque view. The entire room experience was luxurious. Housekeeping did an amazing job replenishing everything and getting everything clean when I would come back later in the day.
I was a little apprehensive about the location, but it is so close to the beach, shopping and action that walking was never inconvenient. The hotel is very quiet at night given that there is a buffer of space between it and the other major Waikiki resorts.
In the future, I would like to see management bring back their breakfast buffet that I saw in a past YouTube video. I enjoyed the American breakfast at the In-Yo Cafe, but I would prefer the greater variety that is offered in a buffet, even if the cost is higher. I actually ventured to the Halekulani one morning to enjoy the House Without a Key’s breakfast buffet and really enjoyed it there.

We had a wonderful stay! The 2-bedroom suite with full kitchen was beautiful, comfortable and convenient. At times we didn’t want to leave our room because it was si comfortable. And we had a great view of Waikiki from our balcony. Everyone treated us so well and the $37 daily valet fee was totally worth it because we just got out of our car each time without worrying about parking or walking far and also got our car with a 5 min heads up phone call when we wanted it again. Our room was cleaned everyday and even our dishwasher was unloaded! We would like to stay here again :)

The hotel was located a couple of blocks away from the shops and beach so everything is within reach yet the place itself was peaceful and quiet. Hotel was modern and well kept. Rooms were a good size, bathroom was huge, toilets were heated and came with bidet, beds were comfortable, we had a good size kitchenette and amenities not all hotels had like slippers, sanitizer kit, grocery bags- this helpEd since stores charged for paper bags, and beach towels.

Trump Hotel was the only hotel open in Waikiki with a 4 star and higher rating, and they got it right. Public sanitizer stations, social distancing measures, individual pre-packaged condiments and single use items all made this stay safe while maintaining the elegance Trump is known for. Highly recommend for kamaina looking for a great deal

Right in Waikiki near everything except the noise and crowds. Steps to the beach. Great views from our room and appreciated the balcony. I think the Trump name hurts this property even though he doesn’t own it.
Great to have a room with a kitchen for when you don’t want to go out, but it’s not cheesy like those extended stay places (Wolf and SubZero appliances in our guest room). We ordered DoorDash for dinner once and it was great to have real plates, utensils, etc. in the room.
Staff is super friendly, especially the bell desk/valet and front desk team. Overall we had a great time.
