"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!"

"This is a beautiful, quiet property just above Hilo town. The view of Hilo from the property is AMAZING! Great value for the room we had for 5 days. The property is very relaxing and the sounds of the coqui frogs at night add to the feeling of relaxation and induction of sleep. I would highly recommend to anyone planning a trip to Hilo."

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This is a great value. Very conveniently located. Lots of good eats in walking distance. The rooms are clean, property is clean. There is NO AC- people need to understand that. But I didn’t mind at all. Staff super friendly and supportive. But the property is a little run down. But location is the deal!"
