    Enjoyed Liliuokalani Park and Japanese Gardens, holiday lights festival in Japanese Gardens, live Hawaiian music at Grand Naniloa lobby bar, beautiful free zoo with great animals (donations welcome), waterfalls, proximity to Volcanoes NP. We stayed on the sunny side of the island for beach time for five days, then drove over the mountains and along the beautiful Hamakua coast (which has gorgeous botanical gardens) to Hilo, spent a day in Hilo - walked to Liliuokalani Park and around the Japanese gardens and the little island; drove to the zoo and waterfalls - and after two nights in Hilo checked out and drove to Volcanoes NP and spent the afternoon there, very crowded on Christmas Day; drove around towards Kona, had drinks and food at the King Kamehameha hotel in Kona and looked at the amazing huge collection of historical Hawaiian paintings and accompanying signs there, like a museum of old Hawaii; and drove to the airport and flew home.

    Downtown is pretty tired looking.

    Downtown is pretty tired looking. It really needs some upgrades and fresh look. However, the park is Fantastic!! Beautiful trees and walkways, really relaxing. Needs some coffee shops in the area. We had dinner at Ponds, great food but waiter was rude to the people at the next table.

    Friendly people in spite of inflation and still some great values. Beautiful geography and a wide variety of climates can be experienced on a single island. Downtown has been revitalized and there is even more nostalgia for the old Hawaiian buildings there since the Lahaina devastation on Maui.

    The beds are amazing - we slept really well despite being in a double bed. I love that there’s a fan and AC option. Location is perfect but you still need a car to get around. It suited us perfectly for 2 adults and 2 kids and was easy to go on tours from this location.

    Not a busy centre but certainly had enough features and options for us. Wonderful natural environment - as well as being within close proximity to sensational nature features. Preferred Hilo to Waikiki.

    Hilo is so different than other parts of Hawaii.

    Hilo is so different than other parts of Hawaii. It had an old-fashion-y feel to it. Older buildings in downtown and beautiful moss covered bridges. Gorgeous giant, old banyan trees and other beautiful trees and plants you dont get to see in other more popular locations. Has amazing waterfalls a short drive away and lots of farms that give the area a quaint feel.

    This is an older hotel with no lift and no air-conditioning. It had both ceiling and floor fans. Our room was quiet, apart from a bit of noise from the occasional plane landing at the local airport. Our bathroom had a nice walk in shower, the main room had a larger than usual fridge and a good microwave. The parking area is at the front area of the hotel. There was a laundry for guests. One helpful item was a book of information about the hotel and surroundings. It was very convenient for visiting the Volcanoes National Park.

    It was a great hotel for us. Good location, next to a park and also the restaurant Hilo Bay cafe. The room was spacious, quiet, beds/pillows were comfortable, shower was great. And I love the sink outside the bathroom, so I can get ready, while husband takes a shower. We spent just one night, since it was our base to explore the Volcanoes park, but we really enjoyed the vibe. Breakfast was a lá Carte, it was pretty good and affordable, compared to expensive Oahu. I’d definitely stay there again.

    Kawehi (pronounced Ka-vay-hee) provides to her guests the entire front portion of her well-located home in Hilo. It is amazing the amount of room, both inside and out, that you have access to compared to a normal hotel room. It includes a full kitchen, stocked with various complementary goodies, and an outdoor covered dining area, plus plenty of places just to lounge around in. And covered parking is included, which is a great feature in rainy Hilo. We enjoyed our stay very much.

    The location and views were excellent. It's a great spot to sit outside and enjoy a beer in the late afternoon. From Hilltop we were a few minutes walk (downhill) to central Hilo and in under an hour drive to the Mauna Kea observatory, Waipi'o, Kalapan and Volcanoes National Park. The house was very clean and there was option for a daily room service. The resident cat was a wonderful host and one who, I like to think, became a good friend.

    The location was exceptional in terms of it's proximity to downtown Hilo and some of the areas major attractions. It was walkable or you had the option for bikes which was equally convenient. Dining options for breakfast, lunch and dinner were also easily accessible, when using the hotel restaraunt wasn't what we wanted. Nightly happy hours were a great opportunity to wind down and meet new people.

    The hotel itself was so beautiful. It was located on Hilo Bay so very pretty scenery. The paintings on the walls, decorations and the pool area was so comfortable and nice. Our room was nice, clean and big. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. They offered free things to use on the property like bikes and you get a complimentary taste of Kombucha Tea which was good.

    Nice 100 year-old house above the beach, within walking distance of downtown Hilo. Full use of well-equipped kitchen. Fruits (papaya), veggies (avocados) and packaged snacks were on hand, included. Breakfast was real and home cooked, not the horrible packaged processed food you find in hotels.
