hotels without a balcony

Question

We plan on our first trip to Honolulu but I am afraid of heights and will not stay in a hotel that has a balcony. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Answer

For travelers who are afraid of heights and prefer to stay in a hotel without a balcony, Honolulu offers several options, particularly in Waikiki and downtown areas, where you can request interior rooms or studios without balconies. Many high-rise resorts do have balconies, so it’s important to confirm your room type when booking.

Suggested hotels and strategies:

Aqua Bamboo Waikiki: A boutique hotel with interior rooms that do not have balconies, offering a safe and cozy environment while still being close to the beach and restaurants.
Ilima Hotel: Many rooms face inward or have windows only, with no exterior balcony. Centrally located in Waikiki and suitable for those avoiding heights.
OHANA Waikiki East by Outrigger: Offers interior rooms without balconies, and you can specifically request a room without an outdoor space.
Budget and condo-style options: Many small condo hotels or apartment rentals in Waikiki can provide units without balconies—look for “interior facing” or “garden view” options, which usually do not have an outdoor balcony.

Additional tips:

Always contact the hotel directly to request a non-balcony room and explain your preference; do not rely solely on booking sites as balconies are sometimes included by default.
Consider lower floor rooms, which are less likely to have balconies and reduce any anxiety associated with height.
Interior facing rooms often overlook courtyards or gardens, providing natural light and ventilation without a balcony.
Check reviews carefully to see if other guests mention rooms without balconies.

In summary, Honolulu has multiple hotels suitable for guests who prefer no balcony, especially boutique or mid-range properties and interior rooms in larger resorts. Communicating your needs in advance and choosing interior-facing units will ensure a comfortable and safe stay.
