Top 5 Bed and Breakfast Inns in Hilo, United States

April 22, 2023 Augustus Redeker

The landscape of Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii, is diverse. Beaches of black, gray, brown and white sand give way to mountains and dramatic waterfalls. Hilo's Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo is the only U.S. zoo in a tropical rainforest. A day trip away are snow-capped Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, with observatories near 11,000 feet on both mountains, and Kilauea Caldera, an active volcano. Back in town are a farmer's market, restaurants, shopping and banyan trees planted by celebrities and politicians.

Hilo Bay Oceanfront Bed and Breakfast

Oceanfront Bed and Breakfast in Hilo Hawaii

Most amazing ocean room

Reviewed By hollysD8643RR

Most amazing room ever Our room had a corner of windows right above the ocean. The endless sounds of the waves was amazing. I don’t think I will ever sleep right above waves like this again. Easy location in Hilo. I would pick that room again. Nice breakfast. Nice hosts. I We used their snorkeling equipment.

This place is ancient. It’s noisy and small and needs updating. That being said, the people are nice, security guard was fun and vigilant (we never felt unsafe) and it was clean. Won’t be staying again.

Alan met us outside after we got in late to let us know the best place to park. He was very friendly and attentive. The cottage we stayed in was very clean and comfortable. We only stayed overnight but it was very quiet for being so close to the airport. It is also very close to the beach access path.

Great Price

We booked our room and were able to get a great price. The staff is accommodating. It is important to make sure if you have more than two people to get an extra room. The staff does their best to make sure that you are comfortable. Lastly the staff is very friendly. Thanks

Mixed Bag

Reviewed By WH799

Cynthia offered us two rooms on short notice after our booked accommodation let us down. We staid in two small rooms next to the car port - dark and very small for four people with only a shared outdoor bathroom that was not clean (we mostly used the 1st floor shared bathroom in the house instead). We appreciate her helpfulness, but she massively overcharged us taking advantage of our situation. Parking in the driveway is very tight - but there are more spaces nearby (about 100m away).
