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!

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.

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.

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.

Affordable accommodation
We stayed at hilton beach for 3days enjoying the resort then we move to his hotel located right next to it. Equus was a perfect for us. We rented a car and traveled around the island visiting all the amazing sights. The room is cleaned every third day, so keep that it in mind if you are staying for less. Friendly staff and affordable accommodation

Good hotel
Good location. Very near to the beach. The hotel provided chairs and towels. Stores and supermarket nearby. Nice room, good size and good design. Nice staff, very helpful. The only complain is the 4 percent charge on card payment.
