The hotel is far from the Hilo city centre, it is recommended to have a car or a taxi. There is one restaurant just next to the hotel and some other quite near it, so if you don't really plan to stay in Hilo centre, think about this hotel. The rooms are very nice, had everything we needed, comfy beds, fridge, we were in a refurbished one, without a TV but it did not bother us and we were warned about it by the staff when checking in. Speaking about the staff, super friendly, super nice and helpful. Outside of the room was a small garden, we enjoyed our own breakfast each morning sitting right next to it. We also rented bikes - super easy. We enjoyed the 24h free coffee (best in my opinion in Big Island), we less enjoyed the one free kombucha but i's just not our taste. The airport is near but we did not noticed much of the noise, especially in the evening.

Beautiful property with character, comfortable rooms. Everell and Cheryl were very nice and helpful. Cheryl helped us dry our things after we experienced a storm on our way to Hilo and Everell cooked an amazing breakfast for us in the morning. Highly recommend this place!

We chose this place for our family trip to the Big Island after a lot of online research — and it didn’t disappoint. As someone who also runs two hotels in Los Angeles, I’d like to share a few thoughts from a fellow hospitality professional: Fantastic location! Right in the heart of Hilo’s main commercial street. The farmers market is next door, with fresh fruits and veggies, and on weekends, a fun local market with Hawaii-themed goods. Smooth contactless check-in. I booked through Booking.com, and the host messaged me before arrival with the front gate code, room number, room code, and all the check-in details — very efficient. However, guests unfamiliar with this process might feel confused upon arrival if they don’t realize the info is in their inbox or messages. Charming old two-story building. The exterior is nice, with a gravel parking lot behind the property. But what really stood out was the interior design — full of warmth, color, and personality. The wall decor, vintage photos, and little touches give the whole place a cozy, homey vibe. There’s a tiny on-site restaurant with just two tables on the ground floor, serving special breakfast items. Reviews say it’s amazing and must be booked in advance. I stayed for two nights and only saw it open once — clearly a local favorite! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to try it due to our tight travel schedule. Room 5 was enormous! We booked a queen room, but the beds were so spacious they felt like kings. The linens were top-quality — clean, soft, and super comfortable. Thoughtful details like bedside outlets with USB ports made things very convenient. Large bathroom with separate shower area, soft fluffy towels, and excellent-quality toiletries — clearly chosen with care. These kinds of details speak volumes about the host’s hospitality. The room included local Hawaiian coffee — a great touch! One small suggestion: consider providing reusable cutlery for guests who may be staying longer or prefer dining

Beautiful hikes to rainfalls and incredible banyan trees abound. You should know that it rains A LOT but doesn't seem to slow anyone down. Don't miss the Farmer's Market! The homeless population is very visible in Hilo.

I have been to Hilo several times.

I have been to Hilo several times. I love the charm of this old village. We went to the market on Wednesday afternoon and after a little poking around, we had a Thai lunch from a truck which was as good as I have had in Thailand. There were two local musicians who played their favorite songs with a Hawaiian flare. I missed the used book store this time, but made a quick stop at the Discovery Center. Hilo is one of my favorite towns in Hawaii mostly because it isn’t showy and the people are down to earth.

The city is crowded and traffic is busy. The joy it its nearness to many trails and beaches. Lavahloa Chocolate farm, waterfalls, and similar parks were very interesting. Everything is, of course, "Hawaii Priced" s it is expensive. Volcanoes National Park is interesting as well.

Hilo is easy to get around by car and its airport was a wonderfully relaxed place - the best we experienced of all four islands visited during our Hawaii trip. However the town appears very tired and we really struggled to find restaurants that accommodated our wants (ie licenced premises and a good choice of cuisines).
