Offering a garden and sea view, Orchid Tree B&B is situated in Hilo, 100 metres from Honoli'i Beach Park and 3.3 km from The Pacific Tsunami Museum. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking. Guests can make use of the sun terrace or the year-round outdoor pool, or enjoy views of the pool and garden.

One of the most beautiful B&Bs I've had the pleasure of staying at. I will remember forever. We were in for a quick, one evening stay after getting engaged in Kona and my boyfriend (fiancé now!) and I could not have asked for a better place to celebrate 1 on 1. As PNW-ers, we love Hilo for its tropical rain. At Orchid Tree, you can look forward to: the most comfy bed (I gasped when I felt the pillows), tall ceilings with beautiful woodwork and a delightful breeze from the screen doors, and so many thoughtful, small touches. Every inch of the room was clean but it still felt homey, not sterile. Coffee, fresh fruit, and carbs in the morning, coupled with a sweet chat with Steve and fellow travelers. This B&B strikes the perfect balance of private and communal. At the end of our stay, my partner ran back in and Steve gave us a list of recs. We then proceeded in heading over to Steve's son's shaved ice shop (Aloha General Co - located at 28-1692 Old Mamalahoa Hwy, Honomu) to get one of the best desserts of our life and more caffeine. Highly recommend 'The Local' shaved ice. Could not have asked for a better stay. We hope to be back someday! For my foodies: For those who are celebrating (life or otherwise), Moon and Turtle was one of the best meals of my life and a trip to Hilo isn't complete without the fries and fry sauce at Hilo Tavern. ENJOY!

It was so private and comfy. The front was a beautiful lush garden. Jean was very friendly and helpful. The cottage was very well stocked. The birds were amazing and the frogs were a good laugh.

Plenty of informative brochures about the area laid out, located right in the city, with only short walks to grocery store, park, beach or bustling inner city. AC kept all areas nice cool.

    This rental was incredible! It exceeded every expectation we had! The pineapple decorations were so cute. The bedrooms were so well set up, one had a full desk and workstation which was perfect for us. The shower was one of the best I used during my time on the island - amazing water pressure! The hosts really thought of everything you could possibly need. There was even aloe lotion in the bathroom! Location was perfectly walkable to shops, the farmers market, and restaurants

    - Good breakfast and on-site restaurant - Quiet (I read that birds could be noisy but it was OK for us, maybe we were lucky?) - Although the hotel starts to be old (or look old), it is in a good state - Big onsite parking - Nice view if you have a room with sea view (not our case) - Relatively spacious room + terrace and comfy beds - Not too far from main tourist attractions (waterfalls and tropical gardens, surfer's beach, Mauna Kea and Volcano park, and others)

    Nice and quiet hotel, close to the airport. Excellent staff, we got a lot of helpful and interesting information plus a free upgrade of our room. As Hawaii is very expensive, this place was great but nothing fancy. Extra plus free coffee and bikes. No breakfast included. The pool looked nice, but we guessed if you have a room next to it, it wouldn't be that great! Free parking.
