Hale Leilani - Hilo 3BR cold AC, hotel in Hilo

Hale Leilani - Hilo 3BR cold AC is located in Hilo, within 0.7 mi of University of Hawaii, Hilo and 1.6 mi of The Pacific Tsunami Museum.

We were pleasantly surprised upon walking inside. Everything is clean! The kitchen provided everything needed to cook our meals: sharp knives, wine screws, coffee maker with filters and raw sugar that we like and a Keurig, VITAMIX but we didn’t use. Bedding very clean and comfy. Lots of windows for great airflow. Separate AC in each bedroom. Kind of noisy but turn on early to cool the room, turn off when desired temp then use the ceiling fan overnight…perfect. Washer/dryer…perfect. Outdoor propane grill used for steaks…perfect. Large front and back yards. A tree in front yard with beautifully scented flowers. Location is great with just 5 minutes from airport. Close to Target, Safeway, Walmart. Recommend a visit to Pineapple restaurant and 2 Ladies Kitchen for awesome mochi.

Paradise Cottage at Anthurium Hale, hotel in Hilo

The Paradise Cottage at Anthurium Hale located in Hilo Town is an upscale, very private, free standing cottage {Tiny House} with mountain and city views, accessed through your exclusive gated garden.

This is a great little house with everything so nicely put together. It offers so much what a long term vacation housing should be. What's most impressive part of this house is its beautiful garden! We enjoyed so much of having breakfast in the porch; one morning having sun light coming through the tropical garden plants, while another morning being shielded from light rain.

    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!

    I enjoyed my stay very much. The room was perfect for a solo traveler. Everything (room and shared bathroom) was clean. Diana is a great host, very kind and friendly. The location was good, I had a car to drive around the island.

    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.
