I was charged the full amount for two days after I cancelled my reservation with this hotel. Rather then a one night cancellation fee I paid for the entire two days.

Place was good, but desperately needs work on. Not all rooms look like the pictures and they need a deep and thorough clean. Staff were great and very friendly.

Very friendly owner and staff. Very personal. The hotel has a lot of charm even though it is older. It also has newly renovated rooms. You feel like you are right in the jungle, even though it is only a 5-minute walk to the city center. If you like history, this hotel is perfect.

Very old hotel, basic rooms, ours had some good fans, a fridge, and was clean, could have used a couple more pillows, and there was no hot water. Walking distance from old Hilo.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I got the superior suite because I wanted a balcony, king bed and my own bathroom. I can say it was not disappointing. The time I was in the room, it was peaceful and quiet. It may not be a fancy hotel but for me I do like small, quiet, peaceful, unbothered vibes. Also, I had a late check in...on a tsunami threat day, so office was closed but I didn't check my messages till later because of all the chaos, Makana, the manager, assured me that they left my key for me in the lock box. Yay! I sure did love my stay.

The property should be condemned. Lots of dry rot wood & broken structures with holes inthe walls.. The roof is rotten, the wooden floors planks feel like you could go through the floor any minute. It was advertised as a $300 room with “a great discount.” All lies! It’s not worth $25.00 a night. The pics weren’t accurate. We didn’t stay there and had to find another hotel last minute. Trying to get a refund. Buyer be aware!

I love the old Hawaiian look that the Wild Ginger Hotel provides. There were no fancy pictures or decorations but what they did have, gave me a sense of old Hawaii. I enjoyed every bit of staying there and I plan on staying there again.
