Top East Hawaii Cultural Center Hotel Reviews

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The property is clean and the staff were wonderful. The property is older and may need a few improvements. But it was great!"

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"If youʻre traveling on a budget and still would like to experience the island vibe, I think Reedʻs Bay Hotel is the place for you. Being that Hilo does NOT have very many hotel options, they are either very pricey or affordable with very few in between, Reedʻs Bay Hotel has gained our hearts with our last stay. The view from our window was gorgeous overlooking the water on one side, the pool was clean and inviting, the staff was helpful and friendly and the location was absolutely convenient. Our only gripes were 1, there is no elevator so we had to walk up three flights of stairs, (but then again so do the workers who clean the rooms daily), and there is no AC which made it hard on my menopausing body, lol. On our visit the weather was gorgeous which made our room very hot. Fans were provided and so were blackout curtains but it was still hot. However, would we stay there again? Absolutely!!"

Hilltop Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"The room came with an amazing view and had good facilities. We unfortunately didn't get a chance to use the hot tub but it would've been lovely with the sunset. The kitchenette was well stocked and the room and hostel was very clean and well kept. Would definitely recommend for someone to stay here."

SCP Hilo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the amazing customer service, accommodations and friendly staff, clean, beautiful, relaxing environment, i recommend to everyone!!!"

Hilo Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Home away from home!"

Howzit Hostels Hawaii

10/10 Excellent

"They have free breakfast, clean room, spacious siting area, and very helpful staff. You can cook you food here as they have a well equipped kitchen. For those who want to see hilo night lava, they offer free tours also, but please remember to tip the staff. Normally tours like this cost $ 220 to 260 with tours companies in hilo"

Hilo Apartment w/ Lanai - 2 Mi to Beaches!

8/10 Good

"Interior design nicely arranged, but pricey for what it really is. Clean, good communication with host. Location OK, close to downtown hilo, breach front if you have a car, but surroundings of the appartment are not fantastic, Table for dinner is tiny, can fit 2 guests but not 4, what made dinner as a family of 4 challenging..."

Wild Ginger Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

Dolphin Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Spacious, clean hotel with daily breakfast with banana bread and delicious papaya. Friendly staff and the best part is you get the feeling of staying in a tropical paradise since the hotel is surrounded by lush forest even though it is in a small neighborhood. "
