The room was clean when we arrived. The grounds are very pretty and manicured. Upon arrival we were told about a community festival with good local food, arts & crafts and wonderful Hawaiian music with traditional hula dancers. We were disappointed about the restaurant being closed but found lots of local options and took advantage of the well stocked kitchenette in our room for breakfasts.

Slim pickens on Molokai, but this hotel had air conditioning in the rooms, easy parking, a nice staff, and easy check-in. Unfortunately the pool was closed all morning, and the hotel bar wasn't opened day or night. The room itself was decent with a comfy bed. It's Hawaii so you're gonna see an insect or two as well so just a heads up.

The biggest issue is no beach access even though you're on the beach. That being said, I would probably stay here again.

This hotel is very charming and old-fashioned in the best way. The rooms are spacious and modern, but the outside look and feel of the hotel is very quaint. The extremely helpful young woman at the front desk seemed to know everything about the island and was able to answer every question we asked. We were busy while we were there, so we didn't have a chance to use the pool, but it looked clean and inviting. We did use the laundry facilities (laundry detergent is available in the vending machine). Our room had a large bathroom (sink outside of the toilet/showr room but still separated from the bedroom), refrigerator, microwave, coffee set up, and very comfortable mattresses and pillows. The property is well maintained and quiet (well, except for the chickens, but they didn't really bother us and can be heard anywhere, any time in HI). We didn't have great cell service, but I realized too late that the hotel offers free calls to anywhere in the US, which is cool. The restaurant is closed, which is a shame, because it looks like it would be fun, and we would have liked an additional dining option. We would definitely stay here again if we have the good fortune to return to Molokai!

The rooms need an update!
When I booked the room, nothing was said about the bar and restaurant not being open. Staying four days and trying to find a place to eat was a challenge. Had the bar and restaurant been open, It would’ve been a different situation and I could have overlooked the much-needed update of the entire property.
Was charged another night since our flight did not leave intil seven at night and we needed to occupy the room until 5 PM. However, upon more investigation, we could’ve paid 25 hourly, 175 vs 300.
Would have been nice to have that option mentioned by the staff.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The king bedroom we stayed in was spacious and had full kitchen utensils, pots, pans, microwave, fridge for making simple meals. Our room was # 215, an upstairs room which has a nice view of a garden area from the outside lanai area; and a bit of the ocean view. Across the ocean we could see Lanai island in the distance. The staff was also very friendly. Close to the small town area (5mins by car); 20 minutes from the airport. We would stay here again when coming to Moloka’i in the future.

Get away to Moloka'i

We have lived on Oahu and wated to see parts of the islands we have not seen. Moloka'i is beautiful! More importantly, we felt like a welcomed part of the community from the moment we met our driver who transported us to the hotel ( shoutout to Moloka'i Outdoors) to check in through our stay. The nightly local musicians at the restaurant were all wonderful and the view of the sunset is awe inspiring!

Hotel Moloka’i is a nice place to spend some time at. Location is incredible and also close to the major town that offers breakfast, lunch and a couple of grocery stores.
The staff is amazing. Always polite and helpful.
Rooms are however run down and the fact that the hotel doesn’t serve breakfast is definitely a minus.
Restaurant options are also very limited.
It would be nice if the beach in front of the hotel was cleaned up and sorted as it is amazing but the smell and the rotten seaweed kills the atmosphere.

Across the street you will find home made gifts made by local hawaiian artist atMolokai Art from the heart. We used the Hotel Molakai shuttle service and the driver was friendly and kind he also had good insight on local happenings!!

I am a Native Hawaiian born and raised on the island of Kauai. I was in Molokai for a family funeral. My stay here was horrible. This hotel isn’t worth $250/night and up. The grounds are run down, with wood rot. Our balcony door couldn’t even slide open. The property is situated next to privately owned land and the first night there, they had a 5-band concert going until 1:45am. When I asked the front desk about a partial refund for that one night, they gave me the run around, said I should have cracked open a bee and
