Experience a stroll under towering Hapu’u Tree Ferns, relaxing on the balcony overlooking your koi pond as well as a floral landscape that is in bloom year round.

We stayed here last year for a few days and liked it so much we booked for a week this year. Very comfortable to return to in the evenings. We could fix our breakfast or could heat up something simple in the eveningif we wanted to. This is a small cottage in a beautiful garden. The little peepers were loud at night but We like that. There are earplugs if you don’t like it. Jean was very welcoming and pleasant to talk to. Would definitely stay here again

    The Hilo Hawaiian hotel had everything we needed for a great 3 night stay. We booked the cheapest room but it was still a big room with a good bed. We liked the bathroom setup, where the shower and toilet were separate from the basin. The air conditioner was a little noisy but it didn't affect our sleep. Heaps of free car parking, nice to not deal with a valet.

    The location and views were excellent. It's a great spot to sit outside and enjoy a beer in the late afternoon. From Hilltop we were a few minutes walk (downhill) to central Hilo and in under an hour drive to the Mauna Kea observatory, Waipi'o, Kalapan and Volcanoes National Park. The house was very clean and there was option for a daily room service. The resident cat was a wonderful host and one who, I like to think, became a good friend.
