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.

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.

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.

Wonderful place! The room was lovely, spacious, and comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and filling and included homemade baked goods and fresh local fruits. Breakfasts were served on the lanai, where we met other guests and discussed our day's plans. Owner Lory was happy to share sightseeing tips and restaurant recommendations as well as answer any and all questions.
