WEI, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We had a late check in, the room was ok, the beds clean and comfortable. The shower had no hot water so freezing shower, and there was no breakfast. We left after 8 am and never saw anyone, not one employee, only one other guest also complained about the cold shower and was waiting for breakfast when we left.

The person at the front desk she is very nice overall a great experience it is an old school Hawaiian hotel so I was not expecting a lot.
Wendy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I love the Wild Ginger Inn, I grew up here on the Big Island so the plantation style rooms feel just like home for me. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but if your looking for a room, place to shower, and clean comfortable bed for an affordable price it does the job.

6/10 Good

Place was good, but desperately needs work on. Not all rooms look like the pictures and they need a deep and thorough clean. Staff were great and very friendly.
Giacomo, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly owner and staff. Very personal. The hotel has a lot of charm even though it is older. It also has newly renovated rooms. You feel like you are right in the jungle, even though it is only a 5-minute walk to the city center. If you like history, this hotel is perfect.

The frogs at night is music
Rito, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very old hotel, basic rooms, ours had some good fans, a fridge, and was clean, could have used a couple more pillows, and there was no hot water. Walking distance from old Hilo.
Frank, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Different but nice
CHIDA, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Not the right one

No AC and one window had no glass. You could hear the bug sounds all night long. If you sound sensitive you will not be able to sleep. Shower takes about 1/2 hr hot water and yes all that water wasting for 1/2 hr. Pay a little more and stay somewhere else.
Bachir, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love the old Hawaiian look that the Wild Ginger Hotel provides. There were no fancy pictures or decorations but what they did have, gave me a sense of old Hawaii. I enjoyed every bit of staying there and I plan on staying there again.
Donna A., 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A bit old and outdated, but quaint and great location!
