When originally booking my Hilo vacation, I decided on Old Hawaiian because I found Lory professional yet friendly on the phone. A lot of other B&Bs I called were a little too informal for my taste (and giving a credit card number to). Lory responded to all me pre-vacation emails promptly, including my request for an additional night. The B&B... More

A great place to stay. We were in the Bamboo the smallest room which was a great value. Yes the room was smaller but it was all we needed. The bed was comfortable the only thing was the walls were a little thinner for noise. Our breakfast on the verandah over looking the tropical forest was wonderful and a great... More

Stewart and Lori have a lot of experience running a B&B, and it shows. There is a big common lanai for all guests to use, with a nice table and chairs, a tea kettle and cups, and a small refrigerator. In each room is a bin with plates, utensils, wine glasses, mugs. These are washed and replaced daily, so it's... More

We stayed for 2 nights, had breakfast at the table with other guests for one morning and had a packed b'fast to go the next morning. Both were great and you do not go hungry! We stayed in the Bamboo room and by far it is the smallest but we were not there much so it worked out ok. The... More

Stewart and Lori's relaxing B&B is located in a fabulous historic house built in the 1930's (I think), in a peaceful area of dignified houses and lush mature landscaping. The yards on their side of the street back up to a river gorge! The neighborhood will make you say, " This is exactly where I would want to live, if... More

OLD HAWAIIAN b&b is the place to be in HILO!!! You really get the sense of isolation without being isolated :) You are really in the middle of nature and you just have to drive 2 mins to reach the center :) Do you want a nice and healthy breakfast? Stay here!! Do you want a cleanliness? Stay here!! Do... More

This was overall a great bed and breakfast and great value. The backyard is amazing, very lush and full of delicious fruits; make sure you get Lori to give you "the tour". The breakfasts were amazing, fresh fruits (mostly) from the backyard, fresh smoothies and freshly baked pastries (the coconut scones and the monkey bread were my favorites!). Lori was... More

the food was excellent..the rooms were immaculate..Lory and Stewart are great hosts..I will stay there again when we visit the Island. The grounds have soo much to see, they are just far enough away from downtown that you feel safe, but close enough to get to the stores in 10min. Perfect spot to visit!

We're happy to have stayed at The Old Hawaiian where our room was comfortable, the lanai inviting, the breakfasts delicious and the innkeeper was gracious, considerate, knowledgeable and professional. She gave us some excellent tips that we may incorporate in our own inn - thanks, Lory!
