A nice place along Banyan Drive, right next to Liliokulani Park and Coconut Island. Nice place to stroll at sunrise or sunset. Also across the street from the golf course. I didn't go to the restaurant or pool, but did go to the bar to have drinks. They had nice live entertainment. Front desk workers were polite snd helpful! Room was clean and was as expected. I would stay again when visiting Hilo!

Secluded hotel.
Great hotel in a rather secluded part of Hilo Bay. Great ocean views. Nice bar and restaurant. The location of the outdoor pool is nice. Plenty of parking.

I recently stayed at the Castle Hilo Hawaiian Hotel and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the hotel is in a fantastic location with beautiful surroundings, and the cleanliness of the rooms was impressive. However, my stay was marred by significant noise from nearby construction works, which made it difficult to relax. Additionally, the free breakfast was a big disappointment, consisting of just cake and coffee, which fell far short of my expectations. Overall, while the hotel has its merits, the noise and breakfast issues need to be addressed to improve the guest experience.

You have to stay in a room with a ocean view. The room I stayed had a beautiful view and a short walking distance to the beach. However, their breakfast was very stingy. One small container per room, not per a person.

For the Upper Management
1). Even though we stayed one night, the room we had was noisy. We were in #725 and heard banging sounds from the elevator. The cable/pulley noise above our room sounded like someone was hammering the floors and it continued until 2a.m. 2). The remote control for the television was not cooperating. We couldn’t get the remote to respond. It was very hard trying to find something to watch. 3). One of the amenities offered is complimentary coffee served in the room. I had the supplies to-make myself a cup of coffee but I couldn’t find a coffee pot to make the coffee in. 4). We had a handicapped room but it was not to the expectations that was needed for a handicapped person. In the bedroom section the bed could have used a bed rail to help the handicapped person get in & out of bed without struggling. The bathroom needed more hand rails. It was hard to stand and balance especially when you need to brush teeth. Handrails are best especially for those who need to use them when to stabilize youself so that you don’t fall. Finally number 5). I was told that 3 p.m. was check in. We were told that they were busy today and our room #725 was not ready and when ready they would call and inform us about it. Here we are waiting in he lobby for an hour and a half and no word. After about a half hour longer we got the call, our room was finally ready. Hope the upper management will address these concerns as other hotel guests may be experiencing these same situations.

The room smelled like mold hand had mold behind the curling wallpaper all up the corner by one of the beds. The view was fantastic and so after much debating, we decided not to complain or change rooms. This should not possibly be something that the hotel is not already aware of. Not sure what they are planning to do about it, if anything. It does not look recent. The staff was great. The hotel location is beautiful. The room was spacious. If not for the mold, this would have been an amazing stay.

Good base for day trips. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is getting old, carpet, light fixtures, air-conditioning have seen better days. Air-conditioning in room only just works to bring temp down a few degrees from outside temperature. Pillows needed replacing 2 years ago. Do not however eat in the restaurant. Had dinner there on two occasions and it was not great. Fries cold, chicken precooked and dry. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but it is a 2.5 maybe 3 star accommodation.

My wife and I stayed at the Castle Hilo for 2 nights in a room facing Coconut Island and Hilo Bay. Our room wasn't ready at check-in time, so we went to their bar for about a half hour until it was ready. The room and view were amazing. We spent time time at the restaurant and bar, both were great with really good food and drink, and excellent service. Their continental breakfast was more than enough food and we got to take it up to our room and sit on the balcony. Parking is free, which is hard to come by at most hotels in Hawai'i. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend it.
