Top East Hawaii Cultural Center Hotel Reviews

Hilltop Vacation Rental

10/10 Excellent

"Nice old plantation style house with a beautiful yard and view of Hilo. Staff was nice and helpful, even tho I arrived a day and a half late. Very peaceful place to stay, with birds chirping in the morning and coqui frogs croaking at night."

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 Bay Oceanfront B&B

10/10 Excellent

"You’ll be surprised how fast you will get used to not having an AC. Fans and open windows work, but bring sleep mask and earplugs, because coqui frogs get loud in front of the house and in seafront rooms you’ll have those screened windows open. Owners made us feel truly welcomed."

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
