Top Imiloa Astronomy Center Hotel Reviews

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"As soon as you pulled up the valet was very friendly and helpful with directions. The view to the ocean took my breath away as soon as you walked in to the main entrance. I enjoyed my stay and it was very pleasant having staff text me about current events and things going on around the area. For example the volcano being active so that we didn’t get to miss anything special about Hawaii. I didn’t even have to go anywhere and got to see sea turtles right outside the restaurant after breakfast the day before we were going to leave."

Private Room on Serene Property in Hilo

"Very clean, centrally located, and quiet. Great stay!"

Puakenikeni Hilo Hale

"Nice location"

Charming 3-bedroom home in Hilo town

10/10 Excellent

"Our host was the best part of this house! Super kind friendly and helpful!! He introduced himself and he felt like one of our family members. House was very charming and perfect for our family. We were in Hilo for a wedding and house was close to everything. Spent the day at volcano which was 40 minutes from town. House was stocked with staples in the kitchen like spices butter foil. I really recommend this place. Thanks Rail!!!"

Welcome to Our Little Hilo Hideaway - 3 Bedroom Home

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place. Quite neighborhood."

Charming Historic Hilo House – Minutes to Beach!

8/10 Good

"The house was a good size and at a decent location not far from downtown Hilo and on the way to Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park. The house is a bit on the older side. Although it doesn’t have AC, we didn’t need it in early September as there are fans in every room and it cooled down at night. There is an invasive frog on Hawaii and it croaks really loudly at night so I recommend taking ear plugs or ear buds to wear. The property manager was very responsive whenever I contacted him."

Hawaiian Hideaway w/ Yard < 2 Miles to Hilo Bay!

8/10 Good

"Air conditioning wasn’t to great other than that house was perfect for our stay"

Hale Kawehi BnB Guesthouse In Quaint Downtown Hilo, Hawaii. PL-USE-2022-000007

10/10 Excellent

"Hale Kawehi is a very unique and more than accommodating place to stay. Clean, plenty of space to meet all of our needs. Easy access to town for shops & restaurants. Private covered parking. Kawehi is a wonderful host and provides above and beyond. Highly recommend!Mahalo!"

Hale Kawehi B&B Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing house, with about 4-5 rooms all to ourselves. There was full kitchen and cooking facilities, and some snacks and cooking materials (milk, sauces, etc) had been left for us to use. Each room was an Aladdin's cave of souvenirs and oddities, attached to the wall or ceiling. There was an amazing little garden, with a pond, which had some very noisy frogs in it. There was veranda and porch, so we could sit outside and have a drink. It was like living in a hobbit house or something out of a fairy tale, and made the experience truly magical. Shops were a 20min walk or 5min drive away, but once shopping was done there was a huge fridge to store it all in. All mod cons were there, TV, aircon (in the bedroom), shower, wifi, etc. There was even a cheap laundry service with 24h return. It also had a free covered off-road parking space. If you want somewhere to stay that is truly memorable, stay here. It beats a boring hotel any day!"
