Comfortable, clean and convenient. It was a nice hilltop location with a great view. The economy room was cute and cozy. The living areas were enjoyable places to spend time. The walls were thin, but guests were respectful of the quiet hours.

the property was loud, fake birds chirping loudly all night, dog would bark a lot, can hear people in adjoining rooms. Ear pods but can't sleep with anything in my ear. only received housekeeping 2x with 6 night stay. Towels smelled. AC was not well equipped for sleeping area. One last night there someone tried to get into room at 11pm by using pin code on door. Didn't feel safe there. Big gap under all rooms.

We stayed one of the suites. This stay is literally at the top of the hill and you get 360 views of Hilo. unobstructed views of the ocean. Clean and full of amenities. The projector screen was awesome!

Love this little gem of a place. Have stayed here twice over the past year in two different rooms. The bed could use an upgrade, it was a little too soft and the pillows small. Besides that, it is thoughtfully stocked and wonderful grounds. The views are amazing!

The property and the view were extraordinary. The room is tiny, but not really designed for guests too relaxing because there is a large community living room downstairs. I did ask some questions through email, but did not get a response from the owners know that we ever see them. I take that as a negative.

Hilltop Vacation Rental was great for our needs which was a place to stay for 1 night in Hilo. The property sits on a hill which was lovely for being in a quiet area and for privacy. The house, room, and bathroom was clean and we felt safe. The house is older, so just keep this in mind when

We absolutely loved the location and the beautiful common areas at Hilltop Legacy — peaceful surroundings and stunning views! The host was very friendly and even took time to chat with us and share some great local recommendations. The bathroom didn’t have a vent, so it could get a bit musty after use, and we missed having a microwave and an iron. Also, if you’re a light sleeper, the hens cooing through the night might be a bit disruptive. Overall, a charming place with a lot of character and hospitality!

A very sweet, well-kept stately old property that exudes then charm of old Hilo. Check in was easy- note there are some fairly steep stairs leading up to the front door, as well as stairs within the house. I was very comfortable in my efficiency room, and especially appreciated the water, condensation, and diamond bakery cream crackers which were a much needed snack during my Merrie Monarch adventures! A great location and a comfortable place to stay for any Hilo vacation.

This is a very economical but charming place to stay. It has more of an Airbnb feel to it. The setting is quite wonderful. I think for it to be convenient it helped a lot to have a vehicle. Good small refrigerator, small microwave and a Keureg coffee maker, but not much else for food preparation and eating. I enjoyed the chickens.

Stunning views at a reasonable price

We absolutely loved sitting on our balcony throughout our stay. It was definitely the highlight of this room, with stunning views and peaceful breezes (except the crowing roosters). The location of this property gave us easy access to everything we wanted to do in the Hilo area, which was a big plus. The price was more than reasonable and the hosts were helpful. The only downside was substandard pillows and a hard bed (which someone else might not mind, but I found uncomfortable). All in all, I would recommend this location.
