Old Hawaii in downtown
It was a quick overnight stay for us en route to another island. We were delighted by the friendly atmosphere and comfort of the room and common spaces. The bar is welcoming and breakfast was delicious. I would not hesitate to book again for a longer stay. It has an authentic island vibe with a great location.

Western Boutique Vibes
The hotel may not look like much from the outside but it has a western boutique feel to it. The room is nice but the main touched area in the room could be cleaner. You can hear the vehicles passing by during the busy hours but we weren’t in our room much during the day. I would definitely stay here again and the bar below is nice especially the evening/night bartender.

LOVE The Equus!
Had a fantastic 4 night stay at The Equus! The staff is amazing and Colette at the front desk is so caring and SO FUNNY! 😆 All the staff were great and they go out of their way to make their guests happy. I highly, highly recommend this hotel! The location is also great, on Ala Moana Blvd on the western edge of Waikiki. FANTASTIC! Will look forward to my stay there again!

We enjoyed our stay. The traffic could be heard from our room. But, it finally died down and our sleep was comfortable.

Worth a stay
Wonderful staff. Great location, however there was considerable street noise. Older hotel (60s I believe) but in decent shape. We had no issues but it might be difficult for those with disabilities to get around. The welcome beverage was a pleasant surprise.

Top Staf Customer Service
An old hotel but you can see an effort to upkeep it like in most Waikiki, what's outstanding is the friendliness of the staff overall which makes you forget about the old facilities.
