I think this is the best kept secret of Hilo. We loved sitting on the porch looking at the gorgeous view of the large green yard with many fruit trees and huge palm trees in the distance. We walked through the backyard to a river with waterfalls. The hosts are available and helpful. The breakfasts full of exotic fruit were amazing. This stay alone was one of the highlights of our trip to HI. Guest books were full of grateful entries that went back for decades.

We had a wonderful stay at the Old Hawaiian B&B and highly recommend this place. Breakfast each morning was a real highlight, with fresh fruits and delicious homemade pastries.
The property is set in a quiet, pleasant neighborhood and surrounded by a lush tropical garden, with an impressive cliffside view that makes the setting feel truly special. It is also very conveniently located, just a short drive from downtown Hilo, as well as swimming and snorkeling beaches and the beautiful bayfront gardens.
Our host, Stewart, was very friendly and attentive to all our needs. He generously shared great tips on places to visit, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
We would definitely consider coming back.

We got to spend some time with Stewart and loved chatting and he had some incredible recommendations for the area that made our stay all the better.
Given the opportunity we will absolutely be staying here again. It's the perfect comfortable and quiet getaway spot.

The owner personally prepares breakfast every morning and serves it at 8:00 a.m. The meal includes coffee, tea, juice, a fruit plate with eight varieties of freshly picked tropical fruits from the backyard, boiled eggs, yogurt, bread, and muffins. The room is very clean.
The location is very convenient. It's close to the Akaka Falls State Park, Rainbow Falls, Liliʻuokalani Gardens, the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden, and the farmers market in downtown Hilo
I give it a 4 out of 5 for the following reasons:
1. No air conditioning unit
2. No bathroom ventilation fan
3. The bed is a queen rather than a king

First time at a bed and breakfast

This was our first time ever at a bed snd breakfast. I wasn't sure what to expect. I'd say Intimate would be a good word, and friendly. Laurie the owner welcomed us personally, and there were two other couples there. The morning communal breakfast gave us a taste of the local fruits and breads, all hand preparec. The room was comfortable and while there's no A/C, there was no need due to the local nighttime climate. It wasn't near the downtown district, but turned out to be a plus. If you visit Hilo, I highly recommend Old Hawaiian Bed and Breakfast! Thanks for great 2-day stay.

In a quiet, pretty residential neighborhood but not far from places to see and eat in town. It was such a nice sanctuary after driving in town traffic and loved falling asleep to the sound of frogs. Relaxing room and nice bathroom; no television, but was able to stream on our laptop with the wifi. Breakfasts on the lanai were lovely. Was introduced to some new tropical fruit, and Lory made two kinds of delicious baked goods each morning and sweetly offered to pack leftovers for us to take on our outings.

Two kinds of homemade breads, a fresh smoothie, tropical fruit cup, yogurt and eggs. Welcoming and accommodating hosts.

We stayed in the smallest room, which was the only one available for our dates. Bathroom was tiny, but bedroom was fine, with a king bed. Absolutely everything you would need is there, or on the common porch, from guide book to umbrellas to insect repellent to beach towels…you get the idea. Common fridge on the porch, along with microwave, dishes, kettle for tea or hot cocoa.beautiful backyard stretching to the river, very peaceful. Breakfast consists of a fruit smoothie or fresh squeezed juice, a lot of fresh fruit, boiled egg, 2 types of delicious homemade bread and/or muffins, yougurt, coffee or tea. Our hostess- you only see her at breakfast unless you call her, is very pleasant and informative. Walking distance to Boiling Pots, and 2 minute drive to rainbow falls. Maybe 5 minutes to downtown Hilo.very enjoyable, relaxing stay. Would definitely stay again.

Lori, the owner and our host, was wonderful. A before breakfast walk to the Boiling Pots usually meant a lot of, \"friendly good mornings\" to and from the neighbors out with their dogs. Breakfasts on the lanai were not only delicious but included freshly baked banana bread and fruit from trees growing on the property. As a side note, the water is exceptional coming from a municipal source. Lori also spent whatever time we needed to answer questions and relay pertinent information about the area. A bit of a drive to downtown Hilo but quick and easy. Regarding the rooms, and we didn't consider this a downside, as it is easy to see in the photos on their website, but it should be noted the Bamboo Room was a bit compact for those used to the expansive nature of modern upscale accommodations. So if that is a problem, one of the other rooms may be a better choice. No hesitation, we would stay there again, in the Bamboo Room, and recommend it to anyone going to Hilo. Steve and Linda

The Old Hawaiian B&B has a gorgeous backdrop. You’re close to Rainbow falls, and the backyard is a tropical oasis. Downtown Hilo is a close drive. Breakfast consisted of fresh fruits, smoothie, yogurt, boiled egg, and baked goods. Hospitality was great.

Only thing to note is that there’s no AC, so the rooms got quite humid, warm with a musty odor (even with the windows open and fans).

The covered patio where breakfast was served each morning was great to hangout for a bit after the day's excursions and also had a refrigerator and microwave for folks to use. The breakfast served each morning was absolutely delicious and the seating arrangement made social distancing effortless.

We met some kind fellow travelers who shared useful tips that made our trip great - something we always look forward to in B&B stays. And Spike (kitty) and Daisy (doggo) were always awesome to have around. We love dogs but it was great to see that Lory ensured that everyone was comfortable with dogs before letting Daisy out.

We'd happily stay at this B&B again if travels bring us back to Hilo some day.

Wonderful, adorable B&B in Hilo

This adorable property is in a great location to explore the area. There are waterfalls both up the street and down the street. Their very large property has lots of interesting trees and shrubs to explore. They source much of the breakfast food from their garden. Great fruit and bread breakfast with hard-boiled egg, yogurt, and yummy smoothie. The room is very comfortable and well-appointed for our family of 4. I only wish we were able to stay longer than the 2 days we were there. Lory is very nice and helpful, and their pets are very loving.

The owners are fantastic, and their bed and breakfast shows it. They are friendly and informative. The property is immaculate with a beautiful river in the back. They serve a excellent breakfast that allows you to try some of the tropical fruits grown in their own orchard. 5 out 5 will stay again the next time we are on the big island.

Nice property. People staying there should be aware that there is no television in your room nor is there any air condition. It’s not noted in the amenities.

The staff will also ask that you’re very quiet so that you do not disrupt the neighbors. It’s a nice place to stay if you’re looking to do a day in Hilo.

LOVED THE LOCAL FEEL...THE BEAUTIFUL NEW SHADES OF GREEN ONLY FOUND IN A RAINFOREST... THE QUITE WALK TO BOILING POTS. THE SEASONAL FRUIT FROM THE BACKYARD TREES...THE SHARING OF ISLAND TREASURES. CLOSE TO BUT FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE TOWN.

Everything about this B&B was quite enjoyable. The 1930's home was impeccably and tastefully renovated.
The spacious property was well maintained and adjacent to the Wailuka River.

The host, Lory, was very friendly and welcoming.

The neighborhood had similar homes and was quite nice. The Boil Pots State Park was an easy walk.

Lastly, the breakfast was excellent. Lory provided homemade breads and an array of fruits from the garden. We had to leave quite early on our second morning and Lory was gracious enough to prepare a breakfast to go.

Five stars...easily.

This place very clean and wonderfully quiet. It is a beautiful property and we enjoyed walking around exploring the neighborhood and the nearby Boiling Pots falls. And the owner shared her wonderful, welcoming aloha, making us feel right at home. I would definitely stay there again!

We enjoyed our three nights in this peaceful and quiet B and B in a lovely neighborhood. Rooms are homey and clean with personal touches to make your stay even more relaxing. It feels very private. Delicious and ample breakfast of local fruits and homemade breads and scones are artistically arranged to delight the eye as well as the palate. Lori is a wonderful host with lots of tips on local sights. Less than a mile from Rainbow Falls, it was also a great launching place for exploring Hilo itself, or driving up the coast for waterfalls and scenic views, or down to view lava fields and the spectacular southern shoreline and beaches. Forgot your flashlights for going into lava tubes or your guidebook or umbrella? No problem- she has them available for you during your stay. An all- around great stay.

Great place to stay with exceptional host

I had a great stay. The house is situated in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and the host is amazing, friendly, and makes you feel at home and provides an amazing breakfast that comes with the best and freshest of fruit (with some great variety). One of my family members said it was the best breakfast they've ever had.

I highly recommend this place!

Friendly, welcoming, helpful, comfortable.

Look for the blue bot on the road. Our room, the smallest, was cozy (ie, tiny) but quite adequate. Bed comfortable. Shower very good, toilet area cramped for big people, fine for us. Breakfast was great!! Fresh homemade pastries, fresh juices, wonderful variety of fruits, and flowers (to eat). Only complaint was the yogurt was full fat and full sugar in individual containers. I didn't ask for plain yogurt until late in our visit. Ask, and you shall receive, a scoop. Grounds are beautiful. Be sure to walk to the cliff at the back of the property. Room also is supplied with latest guidebook: Big Island Revealed. Great guidebook, at least to my sensibility.

Charming and neatly appointed B&B, conveniently located in a residential neighborhood in Hilo. Lory is an amazing host and whips up a delicious, healthy breakfast spread of fruits, smoothies, and pastries. Rooms are well-furnished, comfortable, and a good value. We stayed in the Bamboo Room which was the smallest, but would recommend the larger Hawaiian or Sunrise Rooms to others

The breakfast on the lanai was lovely . The room however was somewhat disappointing, the shower curtain was old and has seen better days, the “dishes” provided in your room were very lacking. There was 2 plates which weren’t microwave safe ,2 spoons and 2 butterknives and a corckscrew that looks like it would give you tetanus (we drank our wine from paper cups). There is no air conditioning which I understood but the middle bamboo room has ZERO airflow as it is sandwiched between the two other end rooms which have nice windows and much better airflow. It was next to impossible to sleep as it was SO HOT AND HUMID in the room. I would avoid this room if I had known the airflow situation better in advance. Quiet hour is 9pm as it is located in a residential area ...I felt like I had to whisper and tiptoe around and not use our vehicle in the evening (as being quiet was emphasized In many places ). Lory was lovely and the place is conveniently located . Also enjoyed spike and daisy.
