"We had the ocean view room on the second floor. It was newly renovated, with a beautiful private bathroom and beautiful wood work throughout. We were a bit spoiled when we were there, since there were no other guests on our floor during our stay. The kitchen and living room were spacious and well equipped, and Josh was always there to help us if we needed it. We would definitely stay here in the future"

Top Mokupapapa Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

SCP Hilo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really relaxed vibe, water station and coffee and tea available in lobby. Chill space to relax and nice pool with deep end to exercise."

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Rooms are average size.and comfortable. However there is little storage space to unpack our clothes and stow our luggage so our room felt more cramped. The location is great with good restaurants nearby and the hotel restaurant is also delicious. Pool area was nice we.spent every afternoon there after coming back from excursions. Staff on site is friendly. Would stay here again."

Garden Oasis, Walkable to Downtown Hilo

10/10 Excellent

"This is a gem of a house - a true find. My husband and I went to Hilo with four of our grown children to visit family. The house is one of three in a beautiful tropical setting behind a very secure gate. The house is simple, clean, and had plenty of everything we needed like towels, dishes, and bedding. It was truly a haven to return to each day. We walked to great coffee, Thai food, and First Friday Arts Festival. When I had questions (wanted early check in, couldn’t figure out the keypad at first, etc), the staff responded to my texts instantly. We all hope to stay here again!"

one bedroom Loft Apartment in the heart of Downtown Hilo

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and well stocked quirky and old-school funky apartment! Loved it, and was a perfect base for the three of us for a week in Hilo! Not a fancy place, but had everything we needed and was well stocked and had nice touches like a lot of plugs around! Nice and helpful host, too! Would stay again on a return trip!"

Oceanfront Paradise: Breathtaking 3bd/2ba with Panoramic Views of Hilo Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay! The kitchen was exceptionally well-stocked with everything we needed to cook family meals. The layout was perfect for our family, giving everyone room to relax and take in the view. The host was incredibly quick to communicate, and the location is ideal for exploring. Highly recommend!"

Howzit Hostels Hawaii

8/10 Good

"The place is good, convienient walking location to downtown and grocery. Young crowd. They Dont have AC that was a bit hard. The staff is really great (except one young guy who looked hungover and was rude). pancakes are yum. They keep kitchen clean and good amenities overall. Bathrooms only have shampoo and conditioner no bath soap, so carry your own. The other guests were very friendly and nice. They have community whatsapp group to share updates. Very young crowd so if elderly people in your group it might feel out of place. The place is on 2nd story with lots of stairs so if u have too many bags it will be tough. You have to find street parking and move the car every few hours based on restrictions on the street.. They have a tv in living area so u can see a match or volcano eruption status live."
