Hotel overview

Surfing was cultivated in our backyard and the lifestyle it embodies is central to who we are. Waikiki is famous for its beautiful beaches and we’re steps away from them. But you’ll be just as drawn to the timeless charm and laid-back vibe as the The Twin Fin Hotel welcomes you here.

We’re a retreat. A place to relax and take in the beauty of Waikiki’s iconic sights and rolling swells, from sunrise to sunset. We’re a gathering place to connect with others and share memorable, meaningful moments. We’re a hub for discovering local music, art, and a lasting connection with our island community. And with stunning, front-row views of Waikiki Beach, we’re a place to reflect on the events of the day. And plan the adventures that lie ahead.

    Enjoyable stay

    We booked this hotel because it was affordable and right across the street from the beach. At check in we were offered to upgrade our city view room to a partial ocean view room for $25 per day, and the stunning view to the beach and the sunsets was absolutely worth it. We were on the 21st floor, and it was very quiet up there with a pleasant breeze on the balcony. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we paid attention to the explanation on how to use the elevators. ( We had read the reviews stating that the elevators were confusing.) The room and bathroom fulfilled its purpose for us. If room size, fancy furniture, walk in shower is important to you, then you need to book a more expensive hotel. We had a question for the front desk twice and they answered the phone both times immediately. The pool area is nice, not too big and in the shade until the afternoon. We always found two empty chairs. It definitely was an enjoyable stay at the Twin Fin.

    Worst hotel I’ve stayed at.

    I’m an independent travel agent and all I can be happy about it that this was booked for myself and not a client. This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in a touristy area. Our first room reeked of mold and mildew. We were going to let this go and then figured out we had no hot water. When we went to the front and asked to switch rooms we were told they were full and their hot water boilers were out but being worked on and they could offer us a courtesy room to shower in. Of course we declined this. We were told the water would be hot by 11pm. I pushed and was able to get a different room the next day. At 4am we still had no hot water and were told to just let it run. We were given another room the next day and although the smell was slightly better, it was filthy!! The sheer curtains had black mold all over them, there was still candy crumbs on the chair, and when we attempted to lock the safety lock it pulled out of the door. Thank goodness this was only 2 nights of our vacation because all they would refund us was our resort fees. The only reason they are getting any stars is because the staff was all very friends and tried to be as helpful as possible and it is a good location. Long store short, DO NOT stay here!!

    Twinfin disarray

    I was very disappointed in the Twinfin hotel. The carpet in our room was filthy, very small room no way 4 people can be in their comfortably with suitcases. We were 2 people and had to put 1 suitcase in the closet so we wouldn’t trip.The shower tub was slippery and had no safety bars which could result in a fall. In the shower they left 3 brackets which probably had soap/shampoo/conditioner.shower curtain was flimsy. The sliding door to balcony was difficult to open/close. No directory in room or clock radio and no direction on how to operate the elevator and where the reception desk was. That happened to be on the 3rd floor and you had to use the elevator but not how to use it as it was not a normal elevator. We had to direct new customers to just put in floor 3 and take elevator f. The only way to get to your room was a card key which new customers do not have. No sign to explain how to get to floor 3 to check-in.The good thing is the location, walk to the beach and shops, pillows and bed were very comfortable.

    I will visit them again

    Check in was fast and pleasant - we were up on 20th floor and had a fantastic view of the beach and sunset(s) Our room was very clean, yes on the smaller side but who spends time in the room whilst on vacation- the beds comfy and plenty of hot water. room service was every other day but we had no issue grabbing the housekeeper and exchanging towels/wash clothes. Location fantastic walking distance to everything but tucked away near the zoo so it was much quieter and across from a great beach - Resort fee was high but not bad considering beach chairs, surf or SUP Boards, snorkel equipment etc. They also have free activities we did the star gazing, i am not much into that stuff but admit it was really cool... The pool served its purpose as we just used it when we got back from a day at the beach. pool was clean, good temp and no problem with chairs ------Elevator's were slow and the restaurant /bar on site TIKKIS is not associated with the hotel so no room charges ( which was a bummer because we don't bring cash /cars to pool area or the beach ) Rent a car for the day tour the north shore - would def recommend this hotel
