Very well kept room, clean, and good basic amenities... the location can't be beat! If you are a light sleeper be sure to bring earplugs; the walls are thin and the locals like make a ruckus at all hours of the night. Be sure to eat at Paul's Place on the bottom floor.

Overall good location with good amenities. However, all of the pillows (2 for sleeping) provided are too soft and not firm enough. Bed sheets’ thread count is very low which in combination leads to uncomfortable sleeping conditions. Otherwise, solid.

Cute place in great location

We had a little hiccup with the email providing the check-in info, but once we called it was quickly resolved. The room has been redecorated nicely, with a super comfy bed and cold A/C. Right next to the farmers market, and a short walk to downtown Hilo. Would definitely stay again.

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Hilo **Hilo Town Inn** is the perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. While the exterior is unassuming, the rooms are squeaky clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything you need to feel right at home. It is clear that a lot of care goes into maintaining the space. The location is unbeatable for exploring the east side of the Big Island. Being right in the center of town, we were within walking distance of local restaurants and stores. It also served as an ideal home base for our trips to Volcanoes National Park and Akaka Falls. Plus, the proximity to Hilo Airport made our travel logistics incredibly easy. If you're looking for a comfortable, spotless, and central spot to stay, this is it!

Room was spacious and thoughtfully appointed. Central location was convenient to bus station and farmers market. It did get a bit noisy at times with the close proximity to downtown, but the mynas were the loudest things around. Contactless checkin was smooth and easy. Unfortunately we did not get to eat at Paul's, but it looked delicious. Maybe next time.
