Top Joint Astronomy Centre 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

8/10 Good

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

Hilltop Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"The room came with an amazing view and had good facilities. We unfortunately didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but it would've been lovely with the sunset. The kitchenette was well stocked and the room and hostel was very clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend for someone to stay here."

Puakenikeni Hilo Hale

10/10 Excellent

"Nice location"

Lava Rock Retreat - Impeccable Comfort in Hilo!

10/10 Excellent

"WOW!! What an amazing place! As others have said, the home was beautiful and the host’s attention to detail was perfect. We had everything we needed and more. The property was like living in the middle of a rainforest but we had zero issues with bugs. The home was immaculately kept and clean. Being able to open all the patio doors really gave you the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the surroundings. The location was set in a quiet neighborhood but downtown Hilo was only a 10 minute drive. We loved it and would definitely return. Highly recommended!!"

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
