Top Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden Hotel Reviews

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"The property is a bit dated and could use some TLC. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff was great and breakfast was very good. Good location. Decent value and would stay here again."

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Genuinely had a perfect experience with my week staying here! I'm from an area where AC is all but ubiquitous and I run warm, so I was a bit worried about the room being too hot. It wasn't an issue in the slightest! My room was laid out perfectly with a small balcony and multiple windows to capture the winds blowing through. I was perfectly comfortable and my room was equipped with a ceiling and floor fans for the rare times I wanted them. If anyone reading this is like me and reading reviews and worrying about the rooms being too warm, I can genuinely promise my room was never anything other than comfortable. Aside from the pleasant temperature, everything else was so smooth. I didn't stay at a peak tourist time, but there was always plenty of parking available. Staff were always pleasant and helpful, and housekeeping always made sure my room's trash was taken out daily. My room was very clean and cozy. Location is fantastic, quiet but a short drive from everything in the Hilo area. My balcony view of Reed's Bay was wonderful; I saw sea turtles almost every day right from my room! I also really appreciated the on-site laundromat. Check-in and check-out were smooth and simple. The hotel is older (and there is no elevator), but it's clean and has a lot of positives too. I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat, zero complaints and a super pleasant experience from start to finish! Thank you for such a nice stay!"

Howzit Hostels Hawaii

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at Howzit Hostels was incredible, special shout-out to Jane, Lanna Victoria and Veronica for being so welcoming. Riley for her amazing pancakes in the mornings, and oscar and Rochelle for the great conversations!!! Definitely come back again!"

Arnott's Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff were Extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly! They immediately replaced the refrigerator when we told them the freezer wasn’t working! We were disappointed at first because the room had no TV, but it forced us to talk with others and catch up on what’s happening in our lives! We’ll definitely recommend Arnott’s Lodge in Hilo!!"

River View Rainforest Tiny Cabin with Kitchenette (No Cleaning Fee)

8/10 Good

"Just what I needed for a few days to relax with the sound of the stream. The little cabin had everything that one would need to be comfortable for a few days. The hosts were great."

Oceanfront Promontory w/ Stunning Views & Luxury Accommodations. Walk to Beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Great house. Well stocked. Location was perfect. Beds comfortable. Very clean. Would definitely rent again."

Kikala Waterfall Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous setting and a nicely appointed house - had everything we needed! Communication through text/email for the check-in process was very straightforward. Our kids had a blast playing in the waterfall and sleeping in the loft. The stargazing is AMAZING if you get a clear night. This was a perfect, peaceful home base for exploring the Hilo side of the Big Island!"

Hilo Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The ac works great , the room was extremely nice and clean. Room has both blinds and curtains. It is above Paul’s cafe which has great food. It is central in Hilo and most things are within walking distance. Farmers market is just down the street. It’s a small quaint hotel with nice rooms, plenty of parking. You should enjoy it as much as we did."

Hilo Bay Oceanfront B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Definitely stay here! The rooms are lovely as are the hosts. It's right on the water, a short walk or drive to the main shops & farmers market. Also a short drive to many lovely beaches. The breakfast was incredible - and they even accomodated gluten-free. Really great overall, great deal and we'll stay again if on Hilo!"
