Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

📍 71 Banyan Dr, Hilo
★★★★ 7.7 (117 reviews)

"The service was excellent and I was very satisfied. However, a large number of birds gathered and chirped loudly in the big tree right in front of the balcony, which was quite disturbing. I also saw several small cockroaches in the room. It didn’t feel very sanitary."

📍 107 Waianuenue Ave, Hilo
★ 9.0 (67 reviews)

"The location is excellent, in the town center, with many restaurants and supermarkets nearby. It's convenient for visiting the volcano and close to the airport. Cleanliness, at least superficially, seems acceptable. Breakfast ends around 8:00 or 8:30, consisting of chocolate waffles and coffee… Is there a deposit for check-in? All credit card information was manually entered, which was a first for me and made me very uneasy afterwards. My security code was also specifically verified… I suggest checking if cash is available."

Hilo Bay Oceanfront Bed and Breakfast

📍 56 Pukihae St, Hilo
★★★ 9.4 (74 reviews)

"The most disappointing accommodation in this trip. I checked in late and it took me a long time to call the receptionist. The room has no air conditioning and the breakfast is not delicious. It is said to have a sea view, but the location is close and the sea cannot be seen in the room. There is no place to have breakfast. As you can see, the appearance of the room looks good in the picture, but from a close look it lacks maintenance and is unpopular. Booked based on ratings, not reliable."

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham ★★★★
"You need to be prepared for the following: 1. There are many small insects in the restaurant; 2. The rooms are not cleaned every day; 3. The air conditioner is very noisy. But the steak at WSW is delicious."

"Not very recommended. Basically just a place to sleep. Because the trip was in a hurry, there were no options. It is recommended that you book in advance as there will be more and better hotels."

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel ★★★
"They offer free luggage storage if you arrive early, which is a plus. The downside is that the room is very old and there's no air conditioning. It was incredibly hot when I visited in late June. I had to keep the curtains drawn during the day and leave the door open to cool down and get some air circulation."

Howzit Hostels Hawaii ★
"Very good youth hostel, stayed for 11 nights. No deposit required. Met friends from all over the world who came here to travel, and had a great time communicating. The hostel's kitchen is good, and I cooked many delicious dishes. I highly recommend it."

Grand Naniloa Hotel, a Doubletree by Hilton ★★★★
"Awesome! A truly terrible experience. The elevator was constantly broken, forcing us to use the stairs. The rooms were old and outdated. There was no assistance with luggage (not sure if a hotel of this level even offers this?), no room cleaning (they said they asked me when I checked in, but my friend and I are certain they didn't ask). Not even a smile of welcome was offered. It was almost 11 pm and we couldn't order food from the hotel. I ate my own pizza in the lobby, but the staff told me I couldn't eat my own food. I couldn't even order drinks from my own food, and they even called security to remove us. (The staff member later explained that their policy is that food is allowed after 10:30 PM, but she probably didn't realize it was almost 11 PM when I ate.) I asked her to produce the rules, but she refused, saying her rules are the rules. And it's okay for white people to eat their own McDonald's. I can't imagine how a hotel full of tourists could be so unreasonable and arrogant. I complained to Hilton, and they told me they would let the hotel handle it. I didn't receive any further inquiries or responses for several days."

Scp Hilo Hotel ★★★
"I recently stayed at SCP Hilo and, overall, I found the experience to be underwhelming. While the service was decent, there were several drawbacks that made the stay less than ideal. The hotel is located very close to the airport, so noise from early-morning flights was constant and began as early as 4AM. On top of that, many guests were leaving for early flights, which meant lots of door-slamming and hallway noise at all hours. The room itself was quite small and dated, with no real view—just a window that looked into the interior courtyard. Unfortunately, this compromised both privacy and quiet, as anyone walking by could see directly into the room. One major downside was the additional daily "amenities fee," which felt excessive considering the limited offerings. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel, especially if you’re looking for a peaceful or private stay."

"The apartment is decorated in a typical American home style, simple and elegant. It has a refrigerator and microwave, making it convenient to buy breakfast and saving money on restaurants. It's a 15-minute drive from Walmart."
