Top Hilo Hotel Reviews

Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo - a Doubletree by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Was there for a conference and stayed through the hurricane. I cannot express enough gratitude for the excellent staff at Grand Naniloa. From the kitchen - yes still catering and offering clean water, to the engineers to the front desk to the valet and cleaning crews. This was a stressful time for everyone around the islands and especially for Hawaii! This hotel did a great job keeping us all informed, safe, fed and hydrated through a wild weekend. Sure it would have been nice to "use more amenities," but watching the hotel operate as a well oiled machine during a storm was magic. Glow sticks during the power outage was cherry on top! Thank you for welcoming evacuees and guests with aloha and flexibility! You have my business for life!"

SCP Hilo Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location - coffee across the street and many eateries nearby. We stayed in the peaceful wing - and peaceful it was! The room was tiny but very clean!"

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a dated property. But the staff make up for it. The amenities are solid. The power went out but that was due to the hurricane. They didn't have a generator. That needs to be addressed. I would stay here again."

Aarons Cottage

10/10 Excellent
