Loved our stay at Kauai Inn, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the property is nice and tucked away from any business or noise but very conveniently located to airport, restaurants and stores. The pool was nice and they offer beach towels available 24/7 at the front desk. The rooms were beautiful and clean. Perfect size for a couple wanting privacy and to to unwind. The grounds are Lucious and green. We definitely will be staying here again in the future. We also did see kids so it looks very kid friendly. Ps light breakfast served which was really tasty and had a good variety for everyone!

The online photos were a definite oversell, though the view of the mountains were very beautiful. Its not a resort but it is centrally located to many things. The surrounding neighborhood is more industrial in nature. It is next to NCL parking spot for their cruise ships and the small boat harbor. The Royal Sonesta Resort is close by and the beach there is wonderful. Also Dukes restaurant and Hula pie is a must. The beds were firm and cushy just the way I like. Breakfast consisted of bagels, muffins, brie, cream cheese, and fresh fruit. Yogurt, cereal, milk juice and coffee or tea. (And of course chickens) They like to steal your food if you let them. The property could use someone with an eye for detail. Simple things that could be done or fixed are left unattended. Could be beautiful. The staff were all friendly and helpful and they will loan you beach items etc. If needed. I would return if price was right and a better value not found elsewhere.

Our room was clean and quiet, well minus the roosters, but they are everywhere on the island. The Inn was comfortable. They have live music 3 nights a week. They have a really nice pool area. You really can't beat it. No resort fees. Breakfast every morning. Friendly staff. If you have a rental car you're close to everything. They also don't have a parking fee. You can walk to restaurants and bars about 15 minutes or so away. I would definitely recommend this place.

This Inn will take you back to the old days and it literally starts with the room key given to you vs. a card key or passcode. Back to basics property with no frills. But, if you look well, you'll appreciate a view of the mountains surrounding you and I enjoyed the view of the harbor and fish pond as you enter the base and entrance of the valley where the inn resides at the beginning with some neighboring homes. I felt like I was at home :).

Room was clean, bathroom had no drain issues or weird smells as this is off the harbor. A LOT of space even with a King Bed. Charging station and alarm clock was a nice addition. AC worked well...and a ceiling fan is also provided. Microwave, hair dryer, Iron and Ironing board with large closet space. TV provided a lot of live TV options.

I needed a place to stay convenient for work and this was easy to get there (less than 10 min drive). Bright lights in the parking lot made me feel safe (I was traveling alone). Swimming pool is in the center of the property and although noise carried at night it shut down and you will be taken back to the true meaning of peace and quiet.

Convenient retailers nearby: Costco Wholesale, Target, Ross in the Kuhio Mall.
Saves your $ shopping here vs. the Harbor Mall where the ABC store albeit convenient is pricey. My sandwich, bottled water, small bowl of cut pineapple was $25.

The Inn Staff was friendly and inviting and it was nice to know that the Check in desk was open 24 hours.

We were looking for vintage Kauai, not cookie cutter resort (been there, done that) and Kauai Inn delivered. They had me at \"oldest Inn in Hawaii\" and sold me at free parking and no resort fees. Bonuses, excellent breakfast with estate grown apple bananas, 24 hour coffee and tea, peacocks, laundry and..... free use of beach towels and brand new Tommy Bahama beach chairs for the whole stay. We LOVED this stay. Chris and Phillip Phlop 😆 were the best hosts and the entire staff was lovely. Be sure to look through their historical pictures and ask which room John Wayne stayed in! Location was perfect, we did everything to do easily in 5 days.

If you are looking for a relaxing, authentic, and peaceful place to stay, this is it! The Kaua‘i Inn is incredibly quiet and tucked away, making it the perfect escape from the busier, crowded resorts. It truly feels like a hidden tropical oasis.

The grounds are beautiful, the atmosphere is so serene, and we slept incredibly well thanks to how peaceful it is at night.

To top it all off, the breakfast was fantastic—fresh, delicious, and the perfect start to our days of exploring.

The staff was wonderfully welcoming and made us feel right at home. We cannot recommend this place enough and will absolutely be back!

Room was kept clean and towels well provided. We requested a change in room upgrade because the Superior King was too small and time worn. The aircon unit was really loud but we managed to sleep through it because we were always exhausted at the end of the day.
But the positive things about this place made up for the downside of this property. The staff were all nice/friendly and quickly responded to our requests. They offer a good continental free breakfast and let you borrow beach towels. They also offer live music in the evening which sets the mood for relaxation in their lawn garden.
If you like simple reasonable accommodations with a homey ambience, this is a good place to stay.

I absolutely loved my experience in Kauai, and staying at The Kauai Inn was a big part of it. The property is in a great location, making it easy to access many of the island’s most iconic attractions. It is very quiet and peaceful, with beautiful mountain views that make it even more relaxing.
One of my favorite things about the hotel was seeing the peacocks and roosters wandering around the pool and breakfast area—it really added to the unique charm of the place. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the housekeeping staff changed the towels every day. While the overall cleanliness was acceptable, I think the hotel could improve the appearance of the rooms with a little more maintenance, and the bathrooms could benefit from more thorough cleaning.
Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend The Kauai Inn to anyone visiting “The Garden Island.”

Our room was perfect for our family, 2queens and a twin. The staff was all very friendly and super helpful. The property is in a pretty quiet area.

Loved that the hotel was in an old Hawaiian neighborhood/area with chickens, cats, roosters and a peacock comfortably enjoying the property, as well. The staff was welcoming and friendly and helpful, when needed. Although we did not hang out, outside to listen to the live music, we enjoyed it from the comfort of our room.
My one complaint, and it did bother me about the property, is that it only had one washer available for the entire property, along with only one working dryer. If you book here, do your laundry before arriving or don’t expect to get it done on the property. If you are able to pull it off, consider yourself lucky. There is room inside the laundry room for two, stacked washer/dryer units and they should install these to be more accommodating to guests. As it stands, there is only one washer available and two dryers, but only one works. The other has an “ out of order” sign on it that looks like it has been there for awhile. Not good.

We enjoyed our stay, but you should know what this is and is NOT. This is NOT a resort or a boutique hotel. This is an old, conveniently located, modestly priced hotel where you will be well taken care of while you explore Kauai. The staff are friendly, there is gear you can borrow, and you can supplement the continental breakfast by shopping and using the fridge/microwave. There is even enough hot water to fill the LARGE bathtub. We wished the air conditioner was quieter, and it's not the hotel's fault that the people in the park across the street were fighting one morning. Just get in your car, get out of Lihue to see this amazing island, and rest up in a nice room in between adventures.

This is a unique offering in the Lihue area. As you drive there by oil storage and harbor facilities you wonder what you have signed up for. Then you get to the property and it is a wonderful oasis. It's not fancy but extremely friendly and comfortable. The mattress and pillows were some of the best I have experienced anywhere. Air conditioning was very effective. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The environment is peaceful with a central lawn and pool and hills visible on all sides. Chickens (of course) and a few peacocks. We had apple bananas hanging on their stalk for snacking. Coffee tea all day. No hot breakfast but the continental offerings are nice. The road going up the hill offers a way to reach destinations like Poipu, Wimea and Princeville without traversing the harbor area. Close to restaurants near the beach. On the whole, if you are staying in Lihue, this is a great option!

The Kauai Inn is quirky, eclectic, and all the other adjectives that describe a historic inn nestled next to the Lihue harbor. Drive past the warehouses, docks, storage tanks, and assorted industrial activity to a secluded garden spot housing rooms that look like they're relics from the 50s. Will you be impressed with the luxurious surroundings and comfort? No. But everything works, the place is clean, quiet, and well organized. The Wifi is nice, strong, and steady, and the view out the back sliding door is phenomenal. Enjoy (or not) the chickens and peacocks waking you up each morning, and know you're right where you need to be to quickly get to wherever and whatever Kauai has in store for you that day.

Check in staff were helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. Quick check in with a normal key, not key card. One clean beach/pool towel available per day. Phone charger, cords, small snacks and drinks available for charge to your room. Free Keurig coffee and a wide variety of teas available all day and night right outside the front desk. Continental breakfast included bagels, pastries, fresh fruit, cereal, milk, juice, yogurt, and applesauce. They have so many plumeria trees and hibiscus bushes on site, as well as peacock/peafowl, chickens, and a loving kitty. The room was relatively clean. Some of the window sills were dusty but not a problem for me! It’s an older looking property and the bathroom sort of reflected that in that the cabinets were a little beat up, but the mirror was modern and had different lighting settings- I loved it. The shower water pressure was perfect, and the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were silky coconut scented. Great! The AC was loud at first but I quickly adjusted and it actually helped me to fall asleep. The mattress and pillows were mega comfy! Refrigerator and microwave in the room were convenient. If you’re looking for a fancy, resort-style stay for vacation, go elsewhere because this place is better for a laidback, comfortable home-feeling stay. My partner and I loved it and will be going back anytime we visit Kauai. This truly was a great place to wake up at and come back to after a day of driving and adventures.

Overall we had a good experience. the breakfast was nice, and the staff were very helpful. They had towels, boogie boards and snorkeling equipment for free use. housekeeping was hit or miss.

I would like to preface this by saying this was a last minute booking as our flight was cancelled twice and we were stranded at the airport with a toddler. The staff was AMAZING. Checked us in was super helpful and nice. We had an issue getting back to the airport and the manager personally woke to at 4 AM and drove us to the airport our literal like savor. Can’t recommend them more. Al so they had an excellent assortment of teas and coffee, even some coffee we paid good money to bring home!! We didn’t stay for breakfast but imagine it to be of the same quality - excellent!

Quiet, so peaceful. The staff is helpful and nice. The room is a little bit old but serves the purpose. Beds are surprisingly comfy , water pressure is good. Kauai Inn serves continental breakfast, but I wish they have boiled eggs. Overall our stay was pretty nice.

Everything is okay except the breakfast varieties. There's no egg pudding or smashed potatoes or chicken patties or pork sausages. You've to fight with hundreds of flies sitting over your food.

Our stay was amazing from beginning to end! This is a truly family-oriented hotel with very kind and friendly staff who make you feel welcome right away. The organic breakfast every morning was delicious, and they provide everything you may need during your stay, including coolers, towels, and beach chairs, so you don’t have to bring extra items with you. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need; although the property is older, it is very well maintained and full of charm. Parking was easy, and as an Expedia VIP guest, we were pleasantly surprised with a wonderful bottle of wine and even got to choose the type we preferred, which made us feel very spoiled. In the evenings, the live music creates such a relaxing and beautiful island atmosphere. The birds and roosters around the property add to the authentic island vibe that you experience all over the island. Everything was extremely clean, and whenever we needed towels or anything else, the staff brought it immediately. The shower water pressure was excellent, and the shampoo, shower gel, and hair conditioner provided were a great bonus. Thank you for everything and for making our stay so special!

This was my first time on the island. I’m so happy that I stayed at Kauai Inn! I enjoyed the live music in the evening, and Beautiful Hawaiian music played all day. The grounds were well kept, the room was clean (albeit the bathroom could use some updating) but the furniture was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The continental breakfast was nice coffee was good. I didn’t mind the chickens and roosters honestly I don’t think you can get away from them on this island. the peacocks were so beautiful to look at. Staff was kind and gave me good advice on restaurants and things to see. they also loan out snorkeling equipment, beach chairs, and towels. If I come back to Kauai, which I hope to I will be staying at the Kawai Inn!!
