Set along the tranquil Ala Wai Canal, this veteran extended-stay hotel blends practical comfort with a prime Honolulu location. Housed in a six-story building dating back to the 1960s, its modest accommodations offer kitchenette-equipped rooms with private lanais, appealing to travelers who appreciate self-catering convenience. The property attracts a mix of long-term guests and vacationers seeking a calm retreat within walking distance of Waikiki’s vibrant beach life.
While some rooms show signs of age, daily housekeeping maintains cleanliness, and friendly staff provide efficient service that guests often praise. Without an on-site restaurant or fitness center, the focus here is on affordability and a relaxed atmosphere rather than resort amenities. Nearby, Waikiki’s dining and shopping options are just a short stroll away, alongside iconic landmarks and hiking trails, making this an accessible base for exploring Honolulu.
Parking facilities cater to guests with vehicles, and free Wi-Fi keeps connectivity easy. Families and pet owners will find warm acceptance, while travelers looking for a quiet environment appreciate the canal-side setting removed from the beachfront bustle.

“It's a basic hotel but does provide daily room cleaning and a full size fridge/freezer and cooker for self-catering. Only two blocks from Waikiki Beach with loads of options for eating, drinking and shopping. Very reasonable pricing.”
“Clean, good sized room! Service was quick and efficient. The best part was the location. Quiet by the canal yet only a block away from all the action! And, of course, Waikiki beach!”
“Here is a more natural, real-sounding Google review (the way people usually write them): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We stayed at Holiday Surf Hotel for 9 nights and really enjoyed it. I was traveling with my 16-year-old daughter and the location was perfect — everything in Waikiki is within walking distance and the beach is just a few minutes away. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. Housekeeping came every day and towels were changed daily. The staff was very nice and accommodating — we arrived early and they let us check in right away, and on our last day they allowed us to check out at 12 instead of 11 which helped a lot since our flight was at 3 pm. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.”
“I forgot to take pictures to add to my review but oh, well. This is a great little place. Exactly what I was looking for. The family that owns it is absolutely top notch and so friendly and personable. My room had a full size fridge and kitchenette. Loved the shower and bathroom setup. Had a room with two double beds and a balcony. I got to watch the beautiful sunrise and see paddlers on the Ala Wai in the mornings. They have parking under the hotel and also a parking lot down the street for bigger vehicles if need be. The rooms are a little outdated but I absolutely loved it. They are in the process of remodeling the rooms, little by little. Housekeeping gave me clean towels when needed and emptied my trash. The TV had the Roku setup and I was able to log into my Netflix at bedtime. I picked this hotel because it was away from all the noise in Waikiki. I walked a block down and got coffee in the mornings. It's so close to so many shops, including the new Target at the International Market Place, which is a couple blocks down. Perfect location to walk to the beach and so many other places. This will be my go to hotel from now on when I visit. Thank you Patrick and family for a wonderful stay! I will be back!”
“Couple dirty towels in the bathroom. We didn't care we had good time. So what the elevator didn't work I raced my friends up and won. Thanks for helping us during evacuation!! Will def come again”
