"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"

SCP Hilo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot. Nice clean modern rooms. Great pool. Paddle boards and bikes for free! Coffee could be stronger. But also free. Eco conscious. Washer and dryer on site. What’s not to like. Staff was lovely."

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."

The Heart of Old Hawaii

8/10 Good

"This rental is the top floor and about 1/4 of the ground floor of an old plantation-era house. The kitchen and dining room is downstairs. But the sitting area/TV room is up stairs. The two bedrooms are also upstairs. I like these old houses. You need to be the kind of person that appreciates built in cabinetry, and the creaky hardwood floors. The check-in was easy and there was no face to face interaction to check in. The location is super convenient. My family from O’ahu enjoyed staying here. But you have to understand that this rental is in a functioning neighborhood with all that comes with it—barking dogs, coqui frogs, neighbors that come home late at night… But it’s a great way to get away from the formal hotel experience. Mahalo for your hospitality!"
