Old Hawaiian B and B

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Hawaiian B&B. The rooms are well appointed, comfy and clean. The property is beautiful and grounds are nice to explore. The breakfast on the lanai is the highlight of staying here. We enjoyed meeting our fellow guests and sharing ideas for what to do in the Hilo area. The breakfast was delicious and filling: fresh fruit from the property, homemade scones and banana bread, fresh squeezed orange juice, hard boiled egg and yogurt. The host was friendly and welcoming. We will stay here again if we are back on the Big Island.

The accommodations were lovely, comfortable and clean but the best selling point about Old Hawaiian are the breakfasts!! Served communally (but a small group--there are only 3 rooms at this B&B), the hostess/owner prepares simple but uber-healthy and beautifully presented foods. Every day there is a choice of two breads (monkey bread for the win!) served alongside a hard-boiled egg, yogurt and THE MOST AMAZING fruits you have ever eaten (most from her own backyard trees). She explains how to eat the more mysterious ones (suck off the cotton-candy like fibers of one, eat the rind of another). Lovely backyard that drops off to a cliff overlooking a river. Great location with ease of access to all things on the Eastern side of the Big Island. The room was spacious with both a bed and a bed-settee as well as comfortable chairs. Updated bathroom with a great shower.

We completely enjoyed our stay at the Old Hawaiian B and B! The hosts were wonderful, the rooms were cozy, the grounds were amazing and the breakfast for delicious! We were so pleased with everything. If we return to Hilo, we will hope this is available! So happy that the hosts opened their lovely place up to visitors…it allowed us to experience another incredible aspect of the island! Thank you!

The hosts are very friendly. The breakfast is great with local fruits and homemade breads. The grounds around the house are beautiful making breakfast on the porch very enjoyable.

Very nice B&B in a good neighborhood. Hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Room was spacious, well-appoined. We loved being able to have the windows open to hear the birds at night. Slept wonderfully. Breakfast was excellent. The entire experience left us with a good feeling for Hilo, without the big-hotel, touristy gitz.

Always a favorite place for us. Lovely room with well thought out amenities in place. Very delicious breakfast on the porch looking over the spacious beauty of the generous back garden that leads to the river. A good place to stay and relax.

Whatever you do, don't miss the breakfast. It was fabulous! Gorgeous surroundings and very peaceful setting. Everything was clean and well kept. The host was friendly and helpful. There are three rooms that share a lanai where breakfast is served. It was a great place to stay. We will stay there again when we go back.

In a quiet, pretty residential neighborhood but not far from places to see and eat in town. It was such a nice sanctuary after driving in town traffic and loved falling asleep to the sound of frogs. Relaxing room and nice bathroom; no television, but was able to stream on our laptop with the wifi. Breakfasts on the lanai were lovely. Was introduced to some new tropical fruit, and Lory made two kinds of delicious baked goods each morning and sweetly offered to pack leftovers for us to take on our outings. Would absolutely stay here if in Hilo again!

Our first experience with a B&B and it was great. Lory was a wonderful host, and breakfast each morning was refreshing and plentiful. We had the Bamboo room and there was plenty of space for the two of us. All 3 rooms were booked while we were there, but the breakfast area, parking, etc. didn't feel overcrowded.
