Nice to for college dorms. But sucks because one of my favorite restaurants is now gone. It was a very cool place to meet and eat. Looking forward to see what it will be like in the coming future.

Very iconic place to visit. They still have the original elevator indicator on top floor. U can view 360 degree of downtown Hawaii harbour. On the day like today. Every photo shot looks amazing.

Since Hawaii Pacific University bought the place out, the restaurants that I used to love to go to are now gone. Theres only The Old Spaghetti Factory, Teapresso, a mini mart, and a taco/burrito kiosk to the left. Everything else is college related for HPU.

I love stopping there. Theres all kinds of shops, and Id like to go to the Spaghetti Factory to have a dinner. At night time the tower is lit up. Its beautiful.

We visited the Aloha tower at night after everything was closed, which in my opinion was the best time to avoid crowds and take some awesome night pictures. Overall nothing too exciting, but still a cool place to visit if youre touring around Honolulu.You can pay to park right across from the tower, or drive further down the road if parking is full. Since it was night time parking wasnt an issue.If youre going just to take pictures, you do have a fifteen minute grace period to park and take your pictures without any fees!

I did not walk around the tower but it looked nice and lots of people were walking around the area. Our cruise ship was docked next to the tower. Lovely area in downtown Honolulu, lots to see in the area was able to walk around or hop on a bus to go farther.

This place could use a little bit of remodeling on the inside, but its very cool. There is a guard who just sits down on her phone and doesnt even care whats going on, but regardless there is a small elevator that takes you to the top. There is little to no people here, so you get to enjoy the great view in peace.

The staff at the tower are very kind, they allowed my family up the elevator even though they were closing in 5 minutes and were preparing to close! The view on top of this tower is beautiful

My daughter is a freshman at HPU. Her dorm is in the Aloha Tower. It is safe and secured.

Very cool place to get some pictures from the observation deck. Great view 360°.

They kept us quarantine even when we had two negative covid test! A waste of my money to just sit in a hotel

Such an interesting place! Aloha tower is free to tour to the top floor - the views are fantastic of the city, ocean and sand island.Roamingsmith.blog

Hawaii, A must visit. Nothing better than here.

Quick stop by. If you are at the Aloha Tower Market place you might as well go up. It’s free and you get a view of a lot.

Stunning views of the city and mountains. Stop by if youre in Honolulu!

Great views on top. Easy access with elevator to the top. They have a bench on the top level to sit and look around as well as good hours through out most of the days !

I always love Aloha Tower. The views are fantastic. I also love how they light up the tower with different colors.During certain hours of the daylight you can actually go up and visit the tower.It is still somewhat hard to believe that this iconic building was once the tallest building in Honolulu. I have many good memories there as well.

Not a bad place to visit in Honolulu. Shopping is good.

Hawaii is the best. Weather is perfect for a day at the beach. Food is delicious, and you must do a luau. Hawaiians are so nice and friendly people. Enjoyed this cruise to die for, thank you Jesus.

Interesting landmark but the shopping center is not worth even visiting

Ok, nice to go there with the bicycle. On to of the tower the view isn’t that breathtaking. You can see the port and industrial area. But it’s free to go up. There is also an elevator.

This historic landmark has gotten quite an upgrade in recent years. Hawaii Pacific University has invested an enormous amount of money in this area, there are numerous shops restaurants and sights to see, including the Aloha tower itself which is accessible via elevator. From this vantage point Honolulu ports, the city skyline and residential areas are visible. This is also a port for luxury boats and cruises. If you make this a destination definitely take the elevator to the top of the Aloha Tower.

Cool spot at Aloha Towers.. room 3

Its a landmark here in Honolulu. Its sad their is not as much retail as used to be. The pictures I posted were taken from the top lookout. You must take the elevator up and take in the beautiful views.

Nice place to hangout with friends. Its just next to the sea and you can go up the tower for free.

Great view from the top and free to ascend. Surrounding area is run down and taken over by an university

No entrance fee, but bag control if security is awake (likes to sleep during the job). The view is good!

Great view for a price of non.

Iconic city structure, must do while downtown

Great little mall for shopping, food and views!

Free to go up to the observatory. Great view up there to see the whole cruise harbor.

Such a fun experience going up the tower!

Pretty remarkable tower and lighthouse with a long history. We didnt get up to the top for a panoramic view of Honolulu, but you should.

Pretty cool place, but access to the observation desk was not allowed when I was there.

Free entrance, Beautiful views

Awesome view! Well worth the wait in the short line. Go during the weekday!

Its a cool place to chill and hang out but you need to also deal with hpu house rules. Great place for sunset photos

Nice place to get a 360 view of the Honolulu area and the harbor. Security isnt too alert since this location has significant importance to harbor safety. Appreciate beingaable to access the 10th floor observation deck.

Beautiful here elevator to top closed though

Great view at the top, if you know what you are looking for! A forgotten gem, in my opinion.

Outstanding views of Honolulu, both city and harbor, from the 10th floor observation deck balconies. Unfortunately, some of the informational plaques were in poor repair.

View of the water Hooters and the Tennessee bar have a great happy hour. The taco stand has good food. Parking is validated.

Tha B.A.P Union training ship of the Peruvian Navy is moored in front of Gordon Biersch. A 4 mast Burque. One word AWESOME!!!

One of the most popular landmarks in Honolulu. Looks beautiful at night...

Visit the tower for a wonderful ocean view of the harbor and sand island everyday before 5pm

Nice historic place to visit with an awesome view. The tower itself needs maintenance and unfortunately some vandals do not take pride in such a nice structure. Worth while visiting if in conjunction with a cruise voyage from next pier over.

There are a lot of good bars in the area, and the views in and around are worth a peak at the least. I definitely recommend visiting Hooters if youre of age for a drink. I recommend going there even if youre not, the food there is good and reasonably priced.Going upstairs isnt always an option, but you can go to the pier and watch the ships rolling in or out, or if you time it right you might even be able to watch a show for the tourists outside of Nashville. Either way, fun place to visit!

Surprisingly good quick excursion great view must see when lit up at night, too!

Its a good stop if you are in the area. Its free and has nice views of the harbor and downtown. You can watch planes take off from the airport and there are plenty of eateries nearby.

Ckean, safe area. HPU is doing a lot for the area...

Nice views and decent amenities ... shares space with HPU which makes it weird but right on the harbor. A half day adventure at best ...

Very nice tower by the water front where you can see the entire city and best thing is that its free

Nice place to hangout. View of the water Hooters and the Tennessee bar have a great happy hour. The taco stand has good food. Parking is validated.

Fabulous view of Honolulu.

Awesome restaurant called pier nine. All you can eat for only 15 dollars. I was told to come on Wednesday for all you eat poke. Will be back Wednesday!!!

Peaceful place if the band isnt playing at Gordan Biersch restaurant.

Star of Honolulu dinner cruise, Hooters, Tennessee Bar, Spaghetti Factory and a lot more. Retail shopping and events. A Honolulu must see and experience very nice if you are.

Feeding stations lure in colorful reef fish just below the railings on the sidewalk along Aloha Tower Drive between the tower stores and the boat launch. Its worth a visit just for that.

Free amazing views of the city and the harbor! Worth every second.It is well kept and the elevator entrance has a security guard who was very nice and informative to talk with. The elevator may seem a bit dated but nothing that caused us any worry.Even have free, clean bathrooms at the top!

Free admission, great view, beautiful architecture. A great place to visit on your first day in Honolulu.

When we arrived at this place there was nothing there The building has been abandoned its in good condition but theres no shops no stores very very bare empty location

This page and review are solely for the Historical Landmark known as Aloha Tower. I spend many lunch breaks walking around this building, often going to the top. Aloha Tower was once the tallest building in Hawaii; although eclipsed by the skyscrapers downtown, the position of the observation deck still offers a lovely view of the harbor and buildings around. One of the best things: its one of the only tourist destinations thats FREE. Take the elevator to the top floor for picture opportunities in four directions. One can see Diamond Head and Waikiki; downtown and mauka; the harbor and mountains; and nicest of all, out to the ocean. Its also a fun place to watch planes take off at the airport, especially the fighter jets who clearly love their jobs. The tower also has a clean public bathroom if one needs a place to stop and relax.

The Aloha Tower is a bit like a living time capsule among a modern university campus. Taking the elevator all the way up to the top allows for a stunning 360° view of downtown Honolulu, ships and the planes flying in and out of the airport. A few shops and restaurants are mixed in with other campus support buildings. A very unique feel. Take a tiny step back in time!

The views were beautiful! Definitely worth incorporating into your trip. I went right at 9am and it wasnt busy. Best part, there was a rainbow that day.

Free to ride to the top and enjoy the view. The stairs are only for emergencies the elevator is a bit small and cramped.

Pretty nice of the coast line from the 10th floor. There is no fee to go to the observatory level.

Gorgeous views from here!

Great view from the top of the tower.

Love the Aloha towers... so much to see and do.

A cool piece of history in the harbor that everyone should visit. The ten story tower has lots of history, 360 degree views of the harbor, city, ocean and airport. It is also free and there is a quick elevator ride to the top, so need to worry about stairs (if you are againat3stairs that is).Parking is NOT free. Expect to pay $3-20 for parking, depending on how long you stay. There are some shops nearby that are nice also, but do not expect a full blown mall. The tower is clean and being a famous landmark is a bonus. Highly recommend you take 10 minutes out of your day and explore this piece of history!

Really neat, good food all around.

Great place to gain some skyline shots.

If you r cruising, must visit on the top

Great view of the harbour area from the top of the tower.

The security guard was really nice and the area is a nice college town type of area, which is perfect for hanging out! The downside (and the reason for 3 stars) being that once youre at the top pf the tower its really small and crowded, with not much room for picture taking. Still worthwhile, just dont expect much

Nice place .. various places & venues to go see and eat and hang at!

Great sunshine

Beautiful!

Just drove by!

My dad work below in the towers back in the early 70s

I loved the view from up there, plus no one came while we were on top. Superb view, if you are in the area, must go. There is paid parking near by, and there is no fee to go up.

Great look out tower. Carnival cruise boats stop here, and its Hawaii!

Great place to relax and eat Mexican tacos at Aloha Tortilla Factory and Cafe.Try an Esquita y Horchata #nomnom

Beautiful hidden gem. Views are amazing and the history is impressive. Tallest building in Hawaii until not that terribly long ago.

Great placed for a cruise ship to be done at. Convenient free shuttles from Aloha Towers to Ala Moana Shopping center and nearby beaches (Ala Moana Park).

Once was the tallest building in Honolulu!!! Its pretty to see lit up at night! You can ride to the top if you wish too. Its a historical site located directly on Aloha Tower Drive in Honolulu Hawaii!!!

Interesting. Read history before going to appreciate.

So fun .... great panorama of the city

A cool spot to check out. Not much to do in the surrounding marketplace, as it is a bit run down. However the view from the top of the tower is really neat because you can see everything from the ocean to Downton Honolulu. Worth the 30 minutes or less it takes to do. Parking isnt the greatest as you have to pay and the lot is small, so maybe park downtown and walk over. The elevator is authentically dated, but still safe. Worth the trip.

Great place to see the city from tge top

Beautiful views seems like no one knows about this place. Very nice.

What amazing city!!!!!

View is nice and there are restaurants around but you have to pay for parking.

Quick stop to check out the view from the tower and great place to grab lunch or maybe a boat ride schedule tours and walk around

Nice view. Mustdo when in Honolulu

The tower opens at 9 and you can take the elevator to get some nice views.

Parking is tight, bathrooms were clean though. Decent variety of restaurants

Beautiful house...w.

Beautiful 360° view from the iconic Aloha tower.

You cant walk on top maybe because is a Sunday
