I did not actually stay at The Royal Hawaiian, it was my daughter who stayed with her husband on their honeymoon which I booked for them and was able to pay with help from the front desk at the hotel which were very helpful friendly to me during the confusion when my daughter and son in law checked in.

Central location but separated from the street by buildings and incredible garden. Architecture and history of the hotel is just amazing, people were coming just to tour it. One of a kind souvenir shops. Room was modern, clean and comfy. Beds were very comfy. View from the ocen view room is just breathtaking. Electronic bidet (more like a Japanese toilet) was a great addition.
