The Hilo Seaside Hotel is fabulous! Don't expect a fancy resort, do expect a local atmosphere, friendly service, reasonable prices, and a lovely view facing the Ice Pond/ocean. It is clean and it is a bit dated, but I think this is part of it's charm. The gardens are very pretty, too. Although close to the airport, it is quiet... more

We stayed one night on our trip over from Kona to see the volcano. Our guidebook recommended it as a clean decent hotel and we agree. It is outdated, but will work for a day or two. It was very humid in Hilo with the tropical storm going thru, but the hotel AC kicked in and we slept in the... more

we live in kona, and we're not fans of the ironman triathlon, so every ironman weekend we go to hilo. we have stayed at every major hotel and hilo, and really the seaside is perfect for what we need. you must know, the rooms are small, the hotel is very old and dated and the pool is small. however, the... more

My whole family of 15 spent the Labor Day weekend at Hilo Seaside and LOVED it. It's not one of those 4 star luxury hotels BUT the hotel is well kept and clean and the rooms were accommodating for my daughters and their family. The hotel staff at the front desk and at the restaurant are very friendly-such a family-like... more

This hotel is for people who are on a tight budget and are okay with just the very basic ammenities. The hotel shows its age and is in serious need of a renovation! I travelled to Big Island with my parents and younger sister We stayed in 2 standard rooms with 2 full size beds - very tacky 1970s decoations!... more

We chose the Hilo Seaside Hotel based on reviews and our desire to stay in a place with a personality and the Aloha spirit. The place looked a little worn and tired. However, upon entering, we felt the warmth and charm that is so often offered by a smaller family owned operation. We were warmly greeted by everyone from the... more

Good for one night but not for a long time. Staff was very helpful in finding a room with internet access (B). Fast enough...I guess many people who come here do not bring laptops. Bandwidth is good. Rooms are ok. At least there is AC. and a good fan. Clean rooms carpet was a little sticky. nice oasis in the... more

It's cute, basic, a little outdated, but clean. Staff is friendly, and Ken's Pancake House is close by. I love that it's a family-run hotel and the location is great for its proximity to downtown HIlo and/or Volcanoes Park. However, if you are a light sleeper, beware: it's very close to the airport and you might be woken by the... more

I was expecting the worst possible accommodations after the reviews I read about this hotel but it honestly wasn't bad. It is old, like every other hotel in Hilo, and very small but it was extremely clean and quiet. There was some weird looking empty lot at the rear of the hotel but as this was not near our room,... more
