Top Hotels Near Panaewa Rainforest Zoo in Hilo from NZ$219

"This is not the property you're looking for. The staff is nice enough, but the property being open to the public, no hotel grade doors on the rooms (they were closet doors with no deadbolt), and no AC on a hot night is not acceptable. If you like camping, this is the place for you. Otherwise, you are getting what you're paying for. Given all the positive reviews, I was surprised when we checked in at how bad it was. The staff seemed to do what they could, and the room appeared clean, but given the safety concerns and the lack of AC, we checked out immediately. And of course, there are no refunds (they make you sign an agreement stating as much when you check in). Extremely concerning that this property continues to receive such positive reviews."

"They have the best water I have ever had They could bottle this and sell it its so good"

"The accommodations were exactly as pictured. Place was very clean, updated, and had extremely comfortable beds. Great location in Hilo. Would definitely recommend."

"There was a medium size cockroach inside the bathing tub and it was very stubborn to get rid of it. The front office lady blabbered something in her own accent was very hard to follow. Parking was a nightmare. You should know some gymnastics and know how to come out of the car after you parked in the tight spot. It's highly possible your car will get stuck and damaged. Good thing is it's nearer to the airport and restaurants. "

"The room was clean but felt old and kind of retro to a Howard Johnson's - for the price we felt it was more of a 2-3 star experience. Everything in the front of the hotel is super cute and nice- we stayed in the back and though the room was clean the sink bath etc were clean but not in the best shape- could see water damage etc. the staff were super nice. But for the price I would stay elsewhere. Air conditioning available but off when you arrive- same for mini fridge. We arrived in the rain and it was kind of damp and felt dingy. Lighting was good in the bathroom And sheets towels very clean. There is an additional 29$ amenity fee for filtered water. Poor coffee quality etc for that price. We parked on the street and she told us parking was part of the amenity fee."
