Top Imiloa Astronomy Center Hotel Reviews

Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

"One mark deducted from the ratings for microwave is not universal, you have to rent it which is not very convenient if you need to heat up a pain relief patch or anything."

Private Room on Serene Property in Hilo

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent for solo traveler or 2 people. Nice, clean studio with a parking space. Comfortable bed and a nice closet. Use the ceiling fan to draw down the cool air from the ac. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, food trucks and shopping. Also close access to downtown and Mamalahoa highway. Host replies quickly, is friendly and easy to talk with. I would definitely return for another stay."

Charming 3-bedroom home in Hilo town

10/10 Excellent

"Our host was the best part of this house! Super kind friendly and helpful!! He introduced himself and he felt like one of our family members. House was very charming and perfect for our family. We were in Hilo for a wedding and house was close to everything. Spent the day at volcano which was 40 minutes from town. House was stocked with staples in the kitchen like spices butter foil. I really recommend this place. Thanks Rail!!!"

Welcome to Our Little Hilo Hideaway - 3 Bedroom Home

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place. Quite neighborhood."

Charming Historic Hilo House – Minutes to Beach!

8/10 Good

"The house was a good size and at a decent location not far from downtown Hilo and on the way to Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park. The house is a bit on the older side. Although it doesn’t have AC, we didn’t need it in early September as there are fans in every room and it cooled down at night. There is an invasive frog on Hawaii and it croaks really loudly at night so I recommend taking ear plugs or ear buds to wear. The property manager was very responsive whenever I contacted him."
