Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham in Hilo

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

7.7/10122 Reviews

Guest User: 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.

Guest User: 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.

ssrsdzry: 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.

Guest User: 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.

Guest User: Tremendous space & person! I arrived late (after 8pm) as a surprise for my Family Reunion & so after dinner.

Hawaiian Big Island 5-Day Adventure: Lava Flows and Starry Skies — traveler post in Hilo

Hawaiian Big Island 5-Day Adventure: Lava Flows and Starry Skies

The Big Island of Hawaii is the largest and most geologically diverse island in the Hawaiian archipelago, featuring a surreal mix of active volcanoes, black sand beaches, tropical rainforests, and snow-capped mountains. It's not just a vacation paradise but also an open-air museum of natural geography. In a single day, you can witness lava flowing into the ocean, stand above the clouds to stargaze, and swim beneath rainbow-adorned waterfalls, as if experiencing Earth's evolution firsthand. ⛺**Must-Visit Attractions** · **Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park**: Get up close to the steam vents of Kīlauea Volcano, hike along the crater rim, and, if you're lucky, catch a glimpse of flowing lava. · **Mauna Kea**: Ascend to the summit at sunset for unparalleled stargazing above the clouds, with the observatories creating a futuristic landscape. · **Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach**: The jet-black sand, formed from volcanic lava, often hosts sunbathing sea turtles and is a photographer's dream. · **Akaka Falls State Park**: A short trail through a tropical rainforest leads to a breathtaking 130-meter (over 400 feet) waterfall. · **Kailua-Kona Town**: A charming town with bohemian-style cafes and historic sites, perfect for an evening stroll and a taste of Kona coffee. 🛬**Travel Tips** ✅**5-Day Itinerary Recommendation**: · **Day 1**: Arrive at Kona Airport → Explore Kailua-Kona Town (visit Huliheʻe Palace) → Kona coffee farm tour · **Day 2**: Morning at Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach → Afternoon at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park (hike Kīlauea Crater, explore Thurston Lava Tube) · **Day 3**: Deep dive into Volcanoes National Park (steam vents, coastal trails) → Evening drive to Hilo, visit local farmers' market · **Day 4**: Akaka Falls → Rainbow Falls → Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden → Return to Kona or Hilo · **Day 5**: Acclimate to high altitude at Mauna Kea Visitor Center → Evening stargazing tour (advance booking required) → Depart the next day 🏨**Accommodation Tips** · **Kona Area**: Ideal for those who enjoy convenience and nightlife, with plenty of hotels (e.g., Royal Kona Resort) and nearby dining and shopping options. · **Hilo Area**: Closer to nature and near the volcano park and waterfalls, with options like cozy B&Bs or rainforest eco-lodges (e.g., Hilo Bay Hostel). · **Volcano Village**: For an immersive volcano park experience, stay in nearby cabins (e.g., Volcano Village Lodge) to enjoy the tranquility in the early morning before the crowds arrive. 🧡**Tips** · Weather in the volcano park is unpredictable; bring a windproof jacket and hiking shoes. Stargazing tours can be chilly, with temperatures near 0°C (32°F), so dress warmly. · The island's west side is sunny and dry, while the east side is rainy. Be flexible with your itinerary. · For elderly or young travelers, note that high-altitude areas near the volcano may cause discomfort. Gradual acclimatization is recommended.

Alone on the Lava-Lookout Ridge: Hawaii's Kilauea Crater Rim, the Sulphur Steam and the Quiet Pull-O — traveler post in Hilo

Alone on the Lava-Lookout Ridge: Hawaii's Kilauea Crater Rim, the Sulphur Steam and the Quiet Pull-O

#travelsafetytips The Crater Rim Drive on Hawaii’s Big Island is one of the few places where you can watch the earth still working. Steam vents line the road, the caldera sits in a bowl of black rock, and at the right pull-offs you can stand alone with nothing between you and a very old landscape. I came at sunset and stayed until the glow began. Volcano safety is not negotiable. Stay on marked trails, obey closures and do not enter areas blocked for volcanic gas. Sulphur dioxide is real: if you have asthma or respiratory issues, check conditions before you go, and leave immediately if you start coughing. The park posts updates at the visitor center—read them. Stay in Volcano Village, a few minutes from the entrance, or base yourself in Hilo for better food and lower prices. A car is essential; there is no practical public transport here. The local experience is not a show. It is the quiet pull-off where you stop because the light has changed, and the steam shifts and you realize you are standing on an active volcano and everything is fine. Solo travel here is safe if you respect the place. Tell someone your route, carry water and do not try to get closer than the signs allow.

Wailuku River State Park

It was the flowering season, and there were many flowers blooming everywhere in the state park. This is a large park with many tropical plants, green trees, birdsong and flowers, giving people a particularly relaxing and comfortable feeling.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters

If you want to see the volcano, taking a helicopter is the most convenient way, but it is also the most expensive. Watching the lava erupting from the Hawaiian volcano from a high altitude is indeed quite shocking.

Richardson Ocean Park

Very popular with locals. Perfect to spend two hours alongside a beautiful lava coastline, explore tide pools

Panaewa Rainforest Zoo and Gardens

When we arrived at the Rainforest Zoo, the weather was not very good. I guess the animals all went to hide from the rain. So we didn't see many animals, but the scenery here is really beautiful.

ʻAkaka Falls State Park

Akaka is the largest of the many state parks in Hawaii. The waterfall is quite famous. The waterfall is not wide and cannot be compared with the Huangguoshu Falls in our country, but the amplitude of the waterfall is relatively large, which is quite spectacular.

Carlsmith Beach Park

It is very close to the hotel where we stayed. We walked here after dinner. There were very few people, but we could enjoy the beautiful sunset. The sunset was really beautiful.
