Great location and well stocked quirky and old-school funky apartment! Loved it, and was a perfect base for the three of us for a week in Hilo! Not a fancy place, but had everything we needed and was well stocked and had nice touches like a lot of plugs around! Nice and helpful host, too! Would stay again on a return trip!

The Queen’s Loft was a quaint little place that offered way more than we expected. Conveniently located in downtown Hilo close proximity to shops, restaurants, laundromat and grocery store. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a convenient place to crash while visiting the island hotspots.

This quirky little apartment was perfect for us. Parking is on the street but we did not have a problem finding a spot. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything. We enjoyed our stay. The host was very responsive too. We would definitely stay here again.

What a cute spot. Old Hawaii style with lots of happy colors. Nice and clean. Well equipped kitchen area for such a tiny place. Great value. And the Hidden Nene speakeasy across the street was a great surprise hangout.

We had an enjoyable stay with all amenities available that we needed. We don’t end up using the kitchen because those so many places within a short walking distance to find want you wanted to eat. It’s right around the corner from the market too. We loved the speakeasy across the street. Our host was very responsive and made it easy for us in every way.

It's a little old apartment that's been cleverly well-appointed for guests, with several huge mirrors adding to a sense of spaciousness. The kitchen is small but has everything you need to cook a simple meal: a one-burner hotplate, a microwave, some kind of big toaster oven, a blender, utensils, big fridge and freezer.... With the Hilo farmer's market, the KTA supermarket and a natural food store all a one-minute walk away, we were inspired to do some cooking even though there are so many good restaurants within easy walking distance too. Everything worked. The host was very responsive. This was our second stay here and we hope to return to this, our Hilo home!

Hilo is a small town, but staying here puts you right in the heart of their walkable downtown. It’s very basic accommodations, but I found the apartment to be clean and suitable for my needs.
