Just an incredible setting. The place looked so adorable. The rooms were a bit older, but clean. The walls were thin, so loud, the breakfast was surreally beautiful setting. You need to know what you are getting, which is a older, quaint place that is just set in an amazingly beautiful location. We'd visit again for sure.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. The room was clean, bed very comfortable, bathroom very nice. Pool was average but the pool deck and chairs were most welcome. Breakfast was filling and the 24 hr coffee is most appreciated. Quite a different experience sharing one’s breakfast with chickens and peacocks. Could do without the roosters however.

Old school authentic Kauai experience among beautiful trees and stunning mountains. A friendly and caring staff that cannot wait to help you plan each day of your trip. Sit back and enjoy a delicious continental breakfast with roosters, chickens, peacocks and cats. Borrow towels, snorkels, fins and beach chairs and head out to experience all that Kauai has to offer! Aloha!

Kauai Inn was outstanding in true Hawaiian spirit. I was genuinely made to feel welcome. It was in a serene area away from the main part of Lihue. View from room window was breathtaking. Staff were very friendly...they offered free Kauai coffee pods, Hawaiian Tea, and iced water 24/7 and a nice continental breakfast each morning. Will definitely be back on my next visit to Kauai!
