Top University of Hawaii at Hilo Hotel Reviews

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The staff was incredibly caring and accommodating. The property could benefit from a bit of refreshing to enhance its charm. The food was simple, but the drinks were undeniably delightful. The room was spotless, and the view was breathtakingly surreal."

Hilo Hibiscus Vacation Home 2 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"The property lists a kitchen but there is not. The is a refrigerator, plates/cups/etc and some plug in appliances, but washing dishes in a tiny bathroom sink was not ideal. There was laundry accessible and the house was very safe and comfortable during a hurricane. Just beware that if you are looking for a kitchen, there isn’t really. Otherwise the property was perfect for our stay."

Entire 3-bedroom house in Hilo

10/10 Excellent

"We loved everything about this place! It was a perfect location and the house was clean and comfortable. And so spacious. I usually dream about getting back to my own bed when I travel but the bed was so comfortable I didn't think about it once! We can't wait to stay again!"

"Cute little cottage, met our needs 100%. Tulpe was easy to get in contact with if we needed her. Beautiful place, we’ll definitely be back "

Charming 3-bedroom home in Hilo town

8/10 Good

"Our family enjoyed our stay at the Charming Hilo House. We were here only for 3 days and the house was centrally located to the shopping mall, market, and all the places we needed to be for our 2-day family events.The owner‘s brother greeted us when we arrived, and we chatted for a while. From the outside you couldn’t tell, but once you were inside, the home was very spacious, clean, and accommodated our family of 8 adults, 1 child & 2 infants. Love the large living room (A on Roku), kitchen/dining area and the 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms met all our needs. No air conditioning, but that was okay as the fans help and the coqui frogs also help put us to sleep. Love the fact that you had checked-out instructions, but what suggest you get new hampers. We certainly enjoyed our weekend at your Charming Hilo home!"

"My husband and I stayed here while exploring Hilo.
