Best Hilo Hotels

"Without exaggeration or understatement, for a hotel in Hawaii costing just over $1,000, this hotel, from the front desk lady to the security guard to the guests, was incredibly friendly. Most importantly, the location is incredible—quiet and peaceful amidst the bustle. See the pictures for yourself. Parking is completely free, and there's plenty of space even when returning home at night. They even thoughtfully provide parking signs, and if the parking lot is full, you can park on the curb without towing. This hotel exceeded expectations. Definitely book the ocean view room; it's absolutely stunning."

"Great clean rooms and very comfortable , wonderful amenities."

"Very efficient and well-organized facility. I didn't appreciate the requirement to have my photo taken for check-in, since this information is already present on the ID provided."

"The hotel itself is better than expected; You can tell that they went through a massive renovation in order to give a chill vibes based stay (on the outside). Inside of the room, it’s definitely an old hotel… I liked the furniture, but the windows were too open for my liking (you get the feeling that anyone can look into your room); Not as much of an issue since we used the curtains! The bath towels were covered in hair (ranging from long strands to tiny pubic pieces) which I found to be disgusting. The staff were more than willing to switch out the towels (there was still hair on them but a little dusting off mainly did the job). There was tiny pubic hair pieces in the bathtub as well, but I washed them down the drain so no biggie. The main issue that I had with this stay was that you could hear everything that was going on in rooms next door or outside. We heard loud screaming and fighting into the early ams, and it took a while for them to stop. This is not the hotel’s fault, but if you do stay here, keep in mind that the rooms aren’t very spacious, you can hear everything, and there might be hair in your towels. Overall, I really loved staying here and found it to be quite charming. The view in front of the hotel is INSANE. Though I listed negative traits about this hotel, I feel that it’s important to give some transparency to readers of this review. Mostly everyone goes into a hotel thinking that it’s 1000% clean and perfect. However, for me, the negative reviews are what I look for so that I know what to expect. You will definitely love the vibes and views this hotel has to offer, as well as the friendliness of the staff who worlds here."

"Tremendous space & person! I arrived late (after 8pm) as a surprise for my Family Reunion & so after dinner. The caretaker met me kindly after I got into the door (clear & simple instructions were given) to help me to get my bearings, carry my 2 carryons to my room & lead me to my room. He also provided a cold bottle of water, MUCH appreciated! I found the place to be very clean, spacious & well-organized with simple instructions in the bathroom, kitchen & shared spaces. I appreciate the simplicity & cleanliness, while still giving me my space! TY again for this last-minute booking that turned into a true treasure for myself as an introvert needing space, cleanliness & simplicity. Mahalo & May ke Akua bless U always! Dawn"

"A paradise hidden in the mysterious canyon named Kulaniapia Falls"

"Even though we only stayed one night at Castle Hilo Hawaiian Hotel before an early flight, the experience was lovely and a clear standout compared to other nearby options. Our room was more affordable than the one we had at SCP, yet it was significantly more spacious, clean, and comfortable. We even had a private balcony, which added a really nice touch. The setting was serene, surrounded by beautiful banyan trees and with easy access to walking paths along the ocean. The atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming! perfect for a restful night before travel. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of what the property had to offer. Highly recommend it if you're staying in Hilo."

"The most thunder-stepped accommodation in this trip, the night of the stay, called for a long time to come out to receive the staff, the room is not air-conditioned, the breakfast is not delicious, it is said that it is a sea view, the location is close, the room can not see the sea, the place to eat breakfast can see, the room appearance picture is very good, close to see the lack of maintenance, Uninhabited. Look at the rating, it is not reliable."

"Everything is fine, but shopping is not convenient, you must have a car, otherwise you should exercise every day."
