If you can’t decide between a B&B or a hotel in Hilo, then try D&S B&B. Amenities, Location, and Hospitality are all excellent, while being less costly. Great for singles, couples, or a family on a budget (we are the later – older parents with an 8 year old son). We felt we got real value, plus the most warm... More

Aloha, It was a real joy to host this family in our home. They are outstanding parents plus their son is intelligent and very well behaved. It was heartwarming to see them eating popcorn and playing a boardgame with their child. It brought back good memories of our own childhood. Many people could take a leason from this lovely family.... More

D&S is a small oasis of hospitality and comfort right in Downtown Hilo. When my bride Linda and I arrived at this small B&B, to spent last night of our 15th Anniversary week, we were met at the locking entry gate by our host, Doug. He was most gracious as he lead us into the central breakfast and gathering area... More

Aloha, This couple was so much fun to have here. They both have a great sense of humor and talking to them at breakfast was the highlight of their visit. We are just sad that they didn't have longer to stay but hope that they will come back to visit again. Thanks for all your help with our printer. This... More

My husband and I just returned from Hilo, Hawaii, where we spent 7 nights at D&S Bed & Breakfast. Doug and Sue are very friendly and gracious people and really go out of their way to be the best innkeepers possible. The room we stayed in was the extended stay suite and it had everything we needed to make our... More

Aloha, This couple is doing wonderful work in an area that is too often overlooked. We are proud to have hosted them in our home for their stay here. Their sister (who lives here on The Big Island) told them about us after her grandparents-in-law stayed with us for three weeks a few months earlier. Many mahalos to this whole... More

My wife and I were in Hilo to attend the annual Merry Monarch hula competition and enjoy as much of the week-long festivities as possible. (Yes, we stayed a week and very happy we did!) D&S (Doug and Sue) Bed and Breakfast made it easy to relax and soak it all in. Like many others commented in their reviews, Doug... More

I arrived in Hilo, Hawaii in April with my Fiance from Seoul. We headed straight from the airport to our room after hunting for the place. It is in a great location in the heart of Hilo. A few restaurants in walking distance and Doug (the owner) has his own gate. The rooms were spotless! The only negative thing I... More

Aloha, This was a very nice young couple that stayed with us for four days earlier this month. They were traveling on a budget so we agreed to let them use our economy unit which is generally used by single travelers. As he said, it has one twin sized bed but it also has a futon that folds out to... More

Clean functional rooms in a very convenient location in downtown Hilo, a block from the outdoor market. Character renovated secured building , and friendly helpful hosts. Great communal rain- sheltered lanai for breakfast. Buffet style breakfast with lots of choice ( no hot dishes when we were there but not an issue in that climate). Bring earplugs for Hilo's nightly... More

Our trip was primarily for business so unfortunately we only had one night at this very quaint B&B. Enjoyed eatting breakfast (very nice complimentary spread) out on the beautiful open air lanai (tropical retreat) chatting with Doug, the very friendly and interesting innkeeper. Very accommodating, clean & comfortable. Excellent value and we highly recommend it!

Doug and Sue run an excellent B&B. Doug greeted us at the door, after hours, and gave us a quick tour. The room was excellent overall - $100 plus taxes for one night for us (they do discounted weekly/monthly as well) Wayyyyyy better than any other hotel in Hilo (especially Uncle Billy's). The room had a double bed with another... More
