Verified Reviews of The Equus
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "Our experience was very good because of the employees."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
The hotel desperately needs a deep clean. The employees, however, were extraordinary. From housekeeping, to Café workers and especially front desk workers made us feel welcome and met our every need. Lincoln, Collette and Linda represented the best of Honolulu. They are the type of people I would hire if I owned a business. Thank you for hiring such personable, knowledgeable and helpful people. We enjoyed all employees.

"Chic equestrian themed hotel in Waikiki."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
We were visiting Honolulu for a wedding and stayed at the Equus hotel for a week. This was a great hotel very conveniently located in Waikiki on Ala Moana Blvd. and we could easily walk across the bridge to the enormous shopping center/mall with Macy's, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales and restaurants. The rooms are clean and have pretty Colonial/Island style furnishings. Our balcony was spacious and had good seating. The cleaning and room service were great with fresh towels/linens and coffee pods delivered daily. There is a great bar called the Paniolo with an excellent bartender (Yulia) whose drinks were exceptionally good; I would say the bar was one of the highlights of the trip. We were also recommended by one of the bartenders to go check out the fireworks that take place every Friday night. Yulia also gave us great advice for where to catch the sunset on Waikiki which as it happens turns out to be the Marina where boats are docked. Overall, I would give this hotel a 7 8/10 but a gold star for the bar.

The Equus is a charming boutique Honolulu hotel located on Waikiki's “Upper West Side” where you will find an abundance of restaurants, easy access to one of the world's largest shopping malls, a quick stroll to the beach and gorgeous sunset views.This Honolulu Hotel is Waikiki's only “North Shore connection,” as the ownership company also manages a magnificent 100-acre stretch of completely unspoiled beachfront property along O'ahu's North Shore. This is the home of the Hawai'i Polo Club where polo matches, polo lessons and spectacular trail rides become available to hotel guests. We encourage you to make the beautiful drive to the hotel's sister property on the North Shore for a day of riding, picnicking, swimming or beachcombing.The hotel's ownership by a family that is rooted in the elegant and exciting sport of polo makes it a one-of-a kind hotel where every guest checking in during polo season receives two complimentary admission tickets to the polo matches where “the sport of kings” will offer an unforgettable experience.The hotel guest rooms are warm and contemporary, keeping true to the hotel's equestrian theme with Ralph Lauren-inspired touches throughout. An intimate lobby and lanai offer a dipping pool, picnic tables and a weekly wine reception.All guest rooms are appointed with cozy pillow-top beds, flat screen TVs, mini fridges and complimentary high-speed Internet access. Portable printers can be delivered for those on business.Best of all, the friendly staff offers the kind of personal assistance delivered with Aloha that only a small, family-run hotel can offer.

Testimonials:
"During my search for a hotel in Cape Cod, my hair started going grey very quickly. Each time I found a hotel, either the prices were through the roof or the hotel was a complete dump. I accidentally called you when I thought I was calling a hotel in the Cape Cod area. It was the best mistake I could have ever made! You took down all the details and specifications that I needed and THE VERY NEXT DAY I had a list of hotels that met my requirements." A.C. - Cape Cod, MA
