We had a great stay at the hotel! Everything was very clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Rimu at the front desk was especially kind and welcoming. She made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived and was very helpful throughout our stay.
I also want to give a special thank you to Mayrose from houseperson, who was working at night and kindly delivered our toothbrushes and extra blankets when we needed them. We really appreciated her help and kindness. Overall, everyone made us feel very welcome, and we would definitely stay here again!
Staff, especially servers like Chiara and Nicole, provided exceptional service.

You can tell she genuinely cares about the people she works with and takes pride in what she does. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled perfectly, and I truly appreciated her patience and positive attitude.

“The location is lowkey for busy Waikiki which I favored greatly. The atmosphere is charming and laidback.
The hideout restaurant is absolutely delicious. Christie was my server through the week—her hospitality and charm were bar none and I appreciated her care and attention through my week stay!”

“We stayed at the Laylow for five nights and everyone that worked there was very friendly. The rooms were very nice and clean. Wanted to give a special shout out to Jerome, who was our housekeeper while we were there. Jerome couldn’t have been more friendly and accommodating and was so very fast and efficient in meeting our needs. He is a gem!”

“This hotel is right in the middle of Waikiki! You are 5-10 minutes from the beach, and right next to shops and the shopping strip. The staff were super friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Plus for Waikiki, the cost was very reasonable. We booked the hotel with daily free drink package and $100 restaurant credit for the hideout. With all those perks, it made the trip worth it. I want to give a special shout out to Dominick at the front, he took care of us and made sure we had our vacation packages sorted.”

“Unfortunately, we are not on vacation. My daughter had extensive eye surgery and unable to fly home to Maui. Our housekeeper Jerome was wonderful. We asked not to be disturbed. When I encountered Jerome in the corridor he always had a big smile and a friendly greeting. Jerome was always available and attentive to our needs. He provided excellent service above and beyond. Jerome is a five star employee. Thanks Jerome!
Our stay 8/14/26 - check out 8/19/26 5 nights. Room 1103”

“I love the Laylow! A true hidden gem in the heart of Waikiki. Their atmosphere is so welcoming and exactly what I was looking for - Cozy Hawaii vibes with a really fun on-site restaurant. Sierra at their front desk is so friendly and helpful - she made sure my visit was everything I hoped for!
Their Hideout Restaurant & Bar has great service and I love the live music!
Cassidy and Shelby are amazing servers at the Hideout and I would for sure request them again when dining there.”

“Consistently the most pleasant & comfortable stay in Waikiki! I have stayed at the Laylow numerous times on work trips to Oahu, going back at least 6 years. I love the throwback style and appreciate the effort put into maintaining the kitschy vibe throughout the hotel and the Hideout. I love the little stack of books that you'll find in the rooms; every time I stay I find myself paging through at least one of them. The staff is always extremely friendly, helpful, professional, and engaging. The Laylow is ALWAYS my first choice to stay at when I travel to Oahu.
In particular I want to give a shout out to Sierra at the front desk. She displayed outstanding customer service skills both during my check-in and in assisting me with an issue on the last morning of my stay. Thank you and I hope we cross paths again the next time I stay!”
