10/10 Exceptional

cute, eco-friendly, family owned, walkable to shop

We loved the place!
Amy, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terible

I have never stayed in worse place.
Arni, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Charming but noisy

Charming old building, but it needs some love. The bathroom door got stuck shut twice b/c the door catches on the frame. The bed was comfy and the shower pressure was good. Main reason for less than 5 stars is crappy neighbors with lots of yelling. The windows are single pane so we got "serenaded" by coqui frogs and could hear the planes coming into Hilo airport.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Front desk staff were polite and helpful. Asked for extra blankets and the staff member was cordial and accommodating. The Wild Ginger Inn is a gem and is a pleasant stay. We have stayed here many times. We really like it.
Debra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here 20 years ago after Leon Russell concert at Palace Theatre. Still Charming, old style Hawaii. Took awhile for hot water to heat, cool water was invigorating. Grateful for fan in room. It’d been better if ceiling fan’s bright light was on different switch.
Donna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I seriously love the atmosphere of the place! It’s like a comfortable pair of worn out shoes. The place is not polished but it’s charming.

The nice people on the property.
Tom, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very convenient spot to swim the turtles by driving for a few minutes towards the airport, a great breakfast with fruits and homemade cakes, overall a very good deal if you enjoy staying in a vintage building with a bit reduced comfort

10/10 Exceptional

What a special place... It's a lovely, local place and so convenient to downtown.

Benshun, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Good location in Hilo and included breakfast. But the property is shabby, hot water is almost nonexistent, there is no soundproofing between rooms. Would not recommend
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a wonderful local treasure of a place that captures the spirit of Hilo and Hawaii It was a calm oasis, cconvenient and best of all, great staff!
nava, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

The sanitation is very poor, the environment is too bad, if it is not booked online, no one will find it. I looked at it, but did not stay, the environment is too bad.
Wenyi, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Difficult after-hour check-in. Open door was hiding the key lock box, no instructions on how to use the room door security plus it hadn’t been set up properly according to a staff member who was staying late for another project and happily helped me out.
karen, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Location good. Good Price. Room is ok. Nice friendly staff. Cons: Only 2 towels in bathroom. Stairs too steep for seniors-should have been given room on street level. ( Was on lower level.) Ran out of food at breakfast. Was advised in advance that hot water was slow to arrive at shower but not available after running tap 5 minutes.

Destiny, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Property was old and termite ridden. Nothing "charming" about it. Traffic noise was bad and music from a few blocks away was loud.
Ted, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The building is clean but old, the roof can use a good cleaning and fresh paint. No issue with hot water for shower. Breakfast is ok, fresh fruit, bagel, muffins.

nava, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Did not have expectations. Needed a place to stay on short notice. Would give one more star had the price been more reasonable. The place is old and run down. Flooring peeling up, paint peeling, rooms its self is unlevel. That being said bedding, towels clean, comfortable enough beds. Would stay at hostel in town next time.
Jessica, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The pictures online are misleading. The place is in poor condition. I suspect the photos are very old. They do not represent the current condition.
