“Great place to stay”

Reviewed 1 May 2013

Stayed at Arnotts for 4 days in April '13 Great spot to stay, good for downtown Hilo and all the attractions around there. From waterfalls to lavatubes and farmers market. You feel as though you are miles from town and the beach is a 5 min walk - great way to wake up on the morning :-)

Aloha to our friends from the U.K.! Mahalo for your great review! Arnott’s Lodge is very well-situated in Hilo: close enough to downtown to make for easy travels to the farmer’s market and surrounding shops, but far enough away to feel peaceful and secluded while you rest. We are fortunate to be so close to some amazing beaches and beach... More

This place rocks! During our camping trip in Hawaii this place was a god send! Warm showers, laundry, and clean facilities. We did not rent a room, only a camping spot. We stopped here twice in 7 days. Walk down to the end of the road and you will find a hidden little gym of a beach. Hospitality is great... More

“Restful and tidy”

Reviewed 23 March 2013

We stayed here for a few nights in March, and while the season may have been responsible for the slight lack of atmosphere, our stay was perfectly nice. We got a good deal in the end because no other guests stayed in our apartment, which had two double rooms, so we had the kitchen and living area to ourselves. The... More

“perfect break from busy Honolulu”

after spending 3 days in hectic Honolulu, this was such an amazing break, relax, beach 1 block away, a few beers in a nice place. Very nice. The bathroom was far better than usual hostels. And the reception girls were really kind and most helpful

Aloha Oliver!! Thanks for an awesome review. I'm glad you were able to relax and chill at Arnott's Lodge. Big Island pace is a lot slower then Oahu and that's why we love it!! We can't complain with our location and the numerous outlets to different beaches. You can't find a place like Hilo elsewhere nor can you find a... More
