As one of Oahu’s few budget options, Hotel Renew offers great value for the price. Here you’ll encounter a tranquil, no-frills atmosphere, as the hotel has minimal amenities and a midcentury, modern design. The concept of Hotel Renew is to attract travelers who want to spend most of their time exploring Oahu, which is evident in how super simple its offerings are. This resonates with me a lot as a traveler, as I prefer to spend my travel budget on experiences rather than fancy hotel amenities.

Although Hotel Renew is centrally located near Waikiki, it’s far from the noisy bars and restaurants, making it the perfect place to rest your head at night. Though it certainly has more of an adult atmosphere, the hotel offers rollaway cribs and is family-friendly. Guests love that Hotel Renew is close to Kuhio Beach and also rave about the staff’s superb hospitality.
