Shaka Shak Guest House, hotel in Hilo

I stayed here a total of 10 nights. The hostess was a lovely lady and very helpful. Off road parking available. Situated in a quiet neighbourhood. Fresh coffee brewed every morning. I stayed in the family suite with ensuite. Separate walk in shower and separate toilet with hand wash sink. Lovely comfortable large double bed and a single bed in the room. Great value for money if travelling on a budget and don't want to pay expensive hotel rates. Would definitely stay again when I return the Big island Hawaii.

    We were pleasantly surprised how comfortable and cozy the house was. Dianna was a great host and surprised us and made a delicious banana oatmeal breakfast for 2 of our 4 night stay. We enjoyed very much the conversations with Dianna and many of the other houseguests in our shared space. It was a great experience!

    Great hostel in Hilo. Location is perfect, within walking distance from supermarket, restaurants and the beach. There is parking space available at the back of the hostel for the rental car. Only a 10 minute drive from the airport. Friendly staff. Nice common room. Clean bathroom. There is free coffee available in the hostel, but I strongly recommend to also have a coffee from the place across the street! Hilo is a great place to travel from to explore the rest of the island.

    Jean made sure there is everything you need available in the kitchen and the bathroom and there was a welcome basket waiting for us containing a great starter package which was of great use! Loved all the details in the decoration of both the cottage and the garden, it is obvious that everything is very well tought trough. Great base to explore the surroundings, in general - a lovely place with a lovely host and we very much enjoyed our stay!

    Lovely hostel. Very secure, rooms got separate door codes, lockboxes to store stuff much appreciated. Communual kitchen & area got all kinds of small utensils you might need, from cooking utensils to shared food (spices, noodles, shares from other guests) and useful things like sunscreen. Plenty of informative brochures about the area laid out, located right in the city, with only short walks to grocery store, park, beach or bustling inner city. AC kept all areas nice cool.
