May 28, 2023Another Great Stay at the Hilo Hawaiian
We always stay at the Hilo Hawaiian when we visit town from Kona. Great views of the bay, amazing restaurant on site (WSW), and great value at the kama'aina rate. Our only complaint was that our original reservation was for a king bed, and a king room was not available when we checked in. The front desk staff did an outstanding job and was able to get us into a king room that was being cleaned, so we only had to wait a short time. Mahalo for your excellent customer service. Lots of aloha during our stay.

I give this hotel 10/10 just fabulous.
A fabulous Hotel, fantastic views and great service. We stayed here for 4 nights and we could hav stayed more we loved the hotel and Hilo so much. The hotel is located on the waters edge near Coconut Island and has a great restuarant, bar and swimming pool. Parking is free at the hotel and plenty of spots available. Short walk to the beautiful park next to the hotel and to coconut island acloss the bridge. Rooms are well appointed and very comfortable . We had an Ocean/Bay facing room (728) with 2 Queen Beds and balcony. Just wonderful. Would Recommend and stay here again loved it so much. Thank you Hilo Hawaiian Hotel for making our stay in Hilo so Wonderful. 10/10

May 15, 2023Not the best place to stay
The staff wasn't very friendly. The bed sheets were dirty/stained. The vending machines did not work, on all floors. Ice machines were on every other floor. For the nightly rate you are better off at the Naniloa Hotel next door.

Avoid
Cheap room. They pulled a bait and switch. I booked a king size bed and when I arrived they told me they didn’t have any more and that my selection was only a “request”. I couldn’t get a refund because I booked through a third party. Then they charged me an additional $60 as a resort fee.

Great location overlooking Hilo Bay with a view of Mauna Kea
Excellent location and decent value when staying in Hilo. The Castle Hilo Hawaiian is next to the Queen Liliuokalani Park and overlooks "coconut island". The rooms facing the bay have an excellent view of Mauna Kea towering over Hilo Bay. Can't beat happy hour on your room balcony overlooking Hilo Bay. Pay the extra for the bay view rooms! The rooms themselves are pretty standard...clean, comfortable but not special. They do have a fridge so you can store from breakfast items. We had a good meal in the hotel restaurant. Pleasant staff.
