The entire property was run down. The room was lacking and cleanliness. The floors were so dirty they were sticky. There were holes in my sheets. I was staying in the Baldwin room and it smelled horribly and gave me a headache. I had to open the windows which meant that I had to sleep in a hot room. I will never stay at that place again and I would never recommend it to anybody.

2. Keys left under a couch cushion on the porch for late check-in
3. Put in the wrong room, and no response from host about this issue
4. Rooms aren't labeled in the hallway
5. Host said she left a \"green thing\" to indicate the room but it was obscure and unlabeled
6. Host hung up on me before I found the room
7. Cockroach in bathroom sink upon arrival
8. Mold on bathroom ceiling (host said \"it's just mold\"—I showered at the beach instead)
9. Seemed like there were full-time residents, like a boarding house
10. The first day, there was a loud ruckus that sounded like screaming, thumping, running up the stairs, and a dog barking loudly
11. \"Beware of dog\" sign but no notice to guests of dog onsite
12. No other guests at breakfast
13. Coffee cups had dust in them
14. Self-serve juice was in a broken glass pitcher, and it looked like shards may have fallen in—no one around to notify
15. Used socks left on top of breakfast table

18. No check out instructions
19. Someone repairing car in driveway
20. After presenting all this information, host was unwilling to discuss refund options because she thought I should have told her sooner (total time between check in and check out was only 34 hours)

This property has so much potential. I believe a plaque outside said it was a historic home built in the early 1900's, and it has many unique architectural features inside and out. It also has many numerous native plants in the backyard that would make a beautiful secluded retreat in the middle of the city, along with a pool with several custom features, including a stone waterfall.
Unfortunately, the property has been neglected and is just waiting to be brought back to it's former glory. Hopefully the owners will be able to find the funds and vision for a full renovation. If it was renovated I would consider visiting again.

This a charming and beautiful old building. The individual rooms and common spaces are inviting, and sitting on the lanai with a view of Honolulu is wonderful! The owners provide a simple but filling breakfast and a coffee station and fridge near the sleeping quarters. All staff were welcoming and receptive to questions. If you’re looking for accommodation away from the Waikiki area, or near UH, this is a great choice. We would definitely stay here again!

The staff was super friendly, and I love that they're trying to renovate and restore this beautiful old home. My room was huge, and they had good wifi with TV access to all streaming services. However, it seemed like the room and bathroom hadn't been cleaned, and I didn't have control over the air conditioning in my room. Otherwise, beautiful spot, and I suspect will only get better!

The \"cook\" only knew how to cook \"scrambled\" eggs (which were actually chopped up fried eggs); rarely had anything but semi-dried bread to make toast for ourselves. Certainly not a breakfast you would expect at a B&B. Many seemingly permanent relatives(?) boarders(?) always hanging around. The feeling was that we were intruding on a family home. Had to ask for bottled water; when a new supply arrived it was quickly taken by the \"permanent\" group who lived there and we were just told that there wasn't any. Everything, inside and out, looked like it was on its last legs and that the inn was just hanging on by a thread. Really, this should NOT be listed on Expedia. A great disappointment to say the least.

Upon arrival I was suspicious of the conditions of the Inn. The outside could use some decluttering. The inside was old and dim inside. The person who checked me in walked me up 2 flights of stairs (something that should be in the notes of the hotel) showed me to a room that wouldn’t lock. They had to change the door handle. The rooms air conditioning didn’t work. It was in the low 90’s that afternoon. I felt bad for the woman as it seems to be a family run operation by herself her children. So I decided to stay and support local business. The next morning no coffee and the “included” breakfast was late and disastrous. I had a family emergency and had to check out early and spoke to the lady who checked me in. She assured me that I would be refunded since my stay was awful and should’ve been refunded in full at the start of my stay, and its days later. Still waiting. I have text exchanges proving the experience and will be taking it up with my credit card company.

House is a historical site that is in the process of being restored. A mother owns it and her kids help her. The property was in disarray when they purchased it a year ago, and you can see step by step how they are bringing it back to its original state. They have come a long way. It still needs work, but you would stay at this location because you appreciate different things as opposed to a resort. You stay here because you support a local family, and have an appreciation for history, architecture, etc. Of course it doesn’t have the most modern amenities, but that isn’t the point, or the reason you would stay here. The family is accommodating, the property is beautiful, it’s quiet, it’s simple.

Its a very unique stay, had no issues checking into my room. I arrived in the afternoon and just called the number on the door and someone showed me to my room. I was staying in the Dillingham and at first was a little worried about the door that leads to my what was supposed to be a private bathroom. The door was just locked from the inside, but not completely closed off you could open it ever so slightly which was worrying, but you can only do so much I guess. The room was warm, but after asking for the ac remote was comfortable. The view of the mountains from the bathroom is nice. I stayed for 10 days and was given new towels midway through the stay. The location was very convenient as I was visiting someone from the University there. I didn’t go to the breakfast while I was there the one time I attempted to go I went to the “kitchen” area and was told to leave and wait. It is an old building but my room was well kept other than some dust on the windows. There was also a hatch that led to the attic in the bathroom which I had to close and a budda? Statue behind a curtain next the the bathroom which I thought was weird, but I didn’t care. The backyard was very green and luscious it was very pretty. The pool, however, was not clean sadly, but I didn’t go to Hawaii to swim in a swimming pool, would have been nice though. There was also a cockroach that I had to kill in our trashcan. They have washers and dryers there so that was nice.

The property is in quite a state of disrepair and does not look like the photos. The breakfast was very limited and most mornings they were out of everything.

I booked a room that was not available when I arrived to check in. Then I was given a room that was not comfortable. The Expedia page of the room only has 2 photos of the bathroom. As a result, I talked to a staff shortly after and was told the booking will be cancelled. I found another hotel instead. After 5 days, I saw no refund. Then I called. A staff said I was not charged but to contact Expedia. Now, Expedia mentions they contacted staff and not able to issue refund. I am still waiting for issue to be resolved.

This place was not at all like the photos or descriptions on expedia. On the plus side it was conveniently located for a visit to relatives nearby, and the room was large with a strong (and welcome) air conditioner; in all other respects it was disappointing or worse. Although we were there for 10 days, there was no room cleaning, trash removal, etc. When we asked for fresh linens and towels halfway through, this was left by our door 2 days later. In both cases, the bed linens were ancient and threadbare. There was no mirror in the bathroom. No shelf for soap, etc in the shower. The \"breakfast\" was abysmal: white bread (toast it yourself), with butter but no jam, a made to order scrambled egg (singular) or out of a mix pancake (singular) and/or a strip of paperthin bacon. Limited parking for up to four cars, at inadequate spaces that carried a constant risk of scrapes. A once lovely, now unkempt garden, and a leaf-strewn swimming pool. Most of the time no staff was visible. A once gorgeous property mostly gone to seed.

The Manoa Inn is unique and homey. The historic property is used as a bed and breakfast. It is very quiet and the room we were given had a wonderful big screened window that was lovely. Internet worked well; television was limited to a short list of channels; upkeep of the room and its bath were spotty. The property could be exquisite but needs much more investment of time and money. The breakfast was at best okay with mostly what seemed to be heated up preprepared entrees.

A bygone era

Put the romanticism of staying at a 100 year old property aside this property needs to be better maintained. Its old. If you are going to sell a stay at a Victorian mansion the only way to pull it off is by ensuring that it is meticulously maintained. This property is not, flaking and old wallpaper, old chipped paint in the room, and a bathroom that needs renovating. Even the bed failed at comfort, it must've been a hundred years old. The exterior plants and trees need to be trimmed so you don't get the appearance that you are staying with the Munsters. Lots of potential, just be meticulous with an older property. We like the area but will be returning to crowded Waikiki.

The convenient location is what I was looking for and that is all we got. We arrived after a 14 hour plane ride and the parking was only a few tight spots. We were led to our room up several flights of stairs with multiple bags so please be aware if you have any accessiblity issues. Then we enter a hot room, so we turn on the AC and head to pick up a few essentials and return to the AC that doesn’t work at 9:30pm. Tried to call the number that was provided with no answer. Opened the windows to dust covered all on the top of the windows. We were going to try to stick it out till we pulled back the bedsheets and the mattress was exposed. We immediately left and tried to call again with no answer and booked another hotel for the next couple nights. I am not one to leave a bad review because I feel like there are things that occur, but after 2 unreturned phone calls and an email that was never answered informing we would not be staying I didn’t know what to do. But trust me, they charged my credit card the final day. Also the pool looks nothing like the pictures, not sure you can swim in it at this time.

Bottom line up front: Stay away from this place at all cost!!!!!!!

The room has a strong smell, and so is the bed. Can’t comment on the purported made to order breakfast because I didn’t see any provided. Was told one of the staff on my first night that the building is under renovation so the kitchen doesn’t work, so they couldn’t even provide drinking water. I had to fill my water bottle from water fountain on UH campus before returning to this place. So I put up with this place for only because I needed to be near UH for work purposes. Orbitz should take down the three stars, this place doesn’t deserve even one star given what it currently is like. And the pictures are deceptive and do not accurately reflect its current conditions. This business should cease operation before it can provides what it advertises.

This property was very cute but the pictures were a little out dated as our room had less furniture than what was pictured and the pool area could use some tidying up. We arrived and had no hot water and weren't told until the next day that there was a leak to the hot water heater. I understand that leaks happen but I wish we were told upon check in that there was a problem because we had to scramble the next day to find a new hotel at the last minute. Breakfast was very good though and the garden in the back yard was very cute. The parking space on property is also very small and luckily there was only 1 other car already parked, because there is really only enough space for 2, maybe 3 small cars.

Okay, the people are quite nice and mean well. The garden was gorgeous. They said that they just took over the property a couple months ago, so could be forgiven for some hiccups.
But let's start with the biggest issue: the property was not in the condition that was represented in the ad and photographs. We paid for and expected a top-of-the-line B&B and got what felt like a backpackers. Most of the furniture and almost all of the decorations in the photos were gone. The safe didn't work and didn't get properly fixed. The bed was way past its replacement date. We had a day without hot water. The custom breakfast was a set menu. The pool showed no signs of having been cleaned anytime recently. But most disturbing was that the kids who were running the place appeared to base their style of service on a backpackers...no training in hospitality or property maintenance was evident. Also, this place has apparently all of their guest rooms at the top of a steep staircase - no access for mobility impaired.
I wish these folks well and hope things improve as they get into what they've undertaken. In the meantime, buyer beware - we did not get the experience we thought we were getting based upon the advertisement.

I expected quirky/unique - it’s a historical B&B after all, but overall disappointed with the overall upkeep/cleanliness.

The facility is much more like renting a room rather than a hotel stay. The entire place smells like a litterbox. They have 10 cats! Since I am allergic to cats, I had to turn around and leave immediately. They are very strict with their no refunds policy, clearly because this happens often. The \"hotel\" is quaint and quirky, if you do not mind cats or the smell, you may have a nice time.

This is a beautiful historic B&B run by a sweet family. There is a lovely Japanese garden in back. The rooms are very nice and breakfast was wonderful!

It is beautiful and peaceful. The mattress in the Dole room with the high bed desperately needs to be replaced. Every thing else was wonderful!

Lovely Inn & Great Service!

Tomomi greeted us with a smile when we arrived late Friday night and cooked us a lovely breakfast each morning. The grounds are lovely and the area is accessible to everything! I highly recommend it!

Uncomfortable stay

Pros:
- nice view from our room
- included breakfast
- environmentally friendly body wash dispenser (not one-time use)

Cons:
- the house is a shared space and like others suggested felt a little cult-like
- we were asked to have our photo taken to be shared with the household which we were not comfortable with. They were a little pushy. If we had known in advance that a large family lives there and would strongly ask for a photo, we would have stayed elsewhere. We have gotten to know bed and breakfast hosts at other b&bs, whether they are the owners or inn keepers, but this is another model with a large family as the inn-keeper. Being asked for the photo persistently and sharing space with a non-typical-business made us rather uncomfortable
- furniture was not in good condition. The couch was scuffed up as shown in the picture and the lamps were broken
- sheets were dirty and smelled like they had not been washed in a while. They smelled musty, like they were stored wet

Don’t stay in the Dole Room

I don’t usually leave reviews and I hate to knock a small business but I feel like we were put into a room that was unethical and just rude to place anyone into. We actually were fortunate enough to get accommodations somewhere else and didn’t stay here, but since there are no refunds I lost $500. The room itself is OK, albiet up three flights of stairs. The bathroom I had a major issue with though. The owner of the establishment called the “shower” “tricky” and then just high tailed it out of the room after she showed us the room. It wasn’t even a shower because you can not stand up. You either have to just bathe everyday or get on your knees to shower, which hurts like hell! If you are really looking forward to a shower after a long day this is not the place. They should not have this as a room option or just let people know before they decide to book. Totally messed up.

Beautiful Kitsch

I absolutely loved this quirky boutique hotel! It is so kitschy and fun. The garden is lovely and the pool is like its own private hideaway. The complimentary breakfast is homemade and way more personal than anything you'd find at a big hotel. This place is family run and has cute pets hanging around, so if you like animals that's a bonus!

Manoa Valley Inn offers an alternative to the large and chain hotels in Oahu. They are located near the university and one has a great view of the city (if one has a room facing that way). The garden is very soothing and the atmosphere is quite eclectic. If the Inn is full, parking may have to be on the streets nearby. The pool was not available at this time, probably due to COVID. Great breakfast.

Tour of University and a great hone to stay in.

I traveled with my daughter to have a look at the University of Hawaii. The University is 1 block away so the location was perfect.
And our stay was like staying at your favorite Auntie’s house and having the best breakfast ever each morning.

Not what it seems, call first.

Be prepared to be very patient when checking in. It took me over an hour. I did not feel very comfortable here as a guest. Its not a typical B&B. This old house is a clinic for sick people to get treatment at, but they also have a room for rent. It is a nice and comfortable room, but its NOT for travelers on business or families. The free parking is only available if you have a compact vehicle or wait till after the clinic is closed. It would help if you can speak Japanese also.

Not well kept - full of dogs everywhere

The location isn't far from Waikiki and the price was right incl. free parking and breakfast. Being in a very old building you are waving goodbye to any modern amenity possible. We had the smallest room so I don’t know what the other rooms are like; but there were hardly any plugs to charge devices, no place to put shampoo in the shower – actually there were no shampoo in the shower and the liquid soap was very diluted. The building and the room was in disrepair – there place needs a complete overhaul and cleaning. The pictures shows are from a distant time it doesn’t look like that now at all. The room was funky, pillows stinky, the door hardly would close. The lovely garden is completely overgrown and not maintained, and the pool was full of leaves and dirty with bunch of stuff on the bottom. Upon entering we were greeted by up to 3 dogs and so the air was full of pet flavor – the dogs will even sleep on the chairs in the breakfast area which is an absolutely no no. The place could be a real treasure but sorry we are not gonna stay there again.
