"This was amazing! Great staff, great location AND there's even a swimming hole (5 min walk, if that) with a waterfall! I've never stayed in a shared house before, but this one has spoiled me! It's close enough to be able to drive to all the good tourist spots. Oh, and hopefully you're there for the "big" farmers market on Saturdays. If I get back to the Big Island I'll be coming back here! Thank you for the great time!"

Top Imiloa Astronomy Center Hotel Reviews

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

2/10 Terrible

"Horrible environment."

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good value budget hotel right on the bay in Hilo. The property is quite old, showing wear but room was clean, comfortable with fresh towels, shampoo etc, all the basics you need. It's classic old school ceiling fan and air vents rather than AC. There is occassion airport noise. Hilos airport is close to town so you can hear it as many locations, but airport isnt that busy. The hotel is not flashy at all but good value for those on budget given location. My rooms balcony directly overlooked shoreline."

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

6/10 Okay

"it’s a nice location, but there’s a lot of construction going on not only in the surrounding landscape but also inside the hotel. There’s a resort fee being charged every day and it’s really just a simple pool. Nothing fancy I wouldn’t say it’s really a resort. A resort really does have quite a few other amenities. There’s only one restaurant and room service only comes every other day. also, for those people who are in a balcony room in the front of the hotel, you’re going to hear a loud buzzing noise every time he goes, sit on the patio from some transformer downstairs."

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!"
