The Big Island Hostel, hotel in Hilo

Located in Hilo and with Coconut Island Beach reachable within 1.8 miles, The Big Island Hostel has a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge.

The location is really close to most attractions in downtown Hilo, so even if you aren't driving, you can still easily Uber to most places from the hostel. It's also only 10 minutes away from the Hilo airport by car. The bus terminal is within walkable distance (about 15-20m) if you are planning to take the bus to the volcanoes national park. The owner and staff are friendly and super helpful. The beds are comfy too. Definitely recommend it if you're travelling on a budget! There are also lockers in the common area - just have to bring your own pad lock.

    Enjoyed Liliuokalani Park and Japanese Gardens, holiday lights festival in Japanese Gardens, live Hawaiian music at Grand Naniloa lobby bar, beautiful free zoo with great animals (donations welcome), waterfalls, proximity to Volcanoes NP. We stayed on the sunny side of the island for beach time for five days, then drove over the mountains and along the beautiful Hamakua coast (which has gorgeous botanical gardens) to Hilo, spent a day in Hilo - walked to Liliuokalani Park and around the Japanese gardens and the little island; drove to the zoo and waterfalls - and after two nights in Hilo checked out and drove to Volcanoes NP and spent the afternoon there, very crowded on Christmas Day; drove around towards Kona, had drinks and food at the King Kamehameha hotel in Kona and looked at the amazing huge collection of historical Hawaiian paintings and accompanying signs there, like a museum of old Hawaii; and drove to the airport and flew home.

    Downtown is pretty tired looking.

    Downtown is pretty tired looking. It really needs some upgrades and fresh look. However, the park is Fantastic!! Beautiful trees and walkways, really relaxing. Needs some coffee shops in the area. We had dinner at Ponds, great food but waiter was rude to the people at the next table.

    Friendly people in spite of inflation and still some great values. Beautiful geography and a wide variety of climates can be experienced on a single island. Downtown has been revitalized and there is even more nostalgia for the old Hawaiian buildings there since the Lahaina devastation on Maui.

    The beds are amazing - we slept really well despite being in a double bed. I love that there’s a fan and AC option. Location is perfect but you still need a car to get around. It suited us perfectly for 2 adults and 2 kids and was easy to go on tours from this location.

    Not a busy centre but certainly had enough features and options for us. Wonderful natural environment - as well as being within close proximity to sensational nature features. Preferred Hilo to Waikiki.

    Hilo is so different than other parts of Hawaii.

    Hilo is so different than other parts of Hawaii. It had an old-fashion-y feel to it. Older buildings in downtown and beautiful moss covered bridges. Gorgeous giant, old banyan trees and other beautiful trees and plants you dont get to see in other more popular locations. Has amazing waterfalls a short drive away and lots of farms that give the area a quaint feel.

    SCP is a wonderful hotel with a natural and sustainable vibe as soon as you walk in. The rooms are comfortable, the staff are incredibly kind, friendly and accommodating, and it’s close to the water, coffee roasters, diners and restaurants! The pool is pristine, with toys for the kids to use and fresh pool towels that are changed over often. The gardens are gorgeous and really set the island tone. We are travelling with our 18 month old and this place is just perfect for young families! Highly recommend staying here if you’re in Hilo.

    All my needs are met by SCP Staff. The amenities are there for you to enjoy like the comfortable 24Hr. Lounge room. laundry facilities, coffee, tea, water ( hot and cold). We also used the complimentary bike and paddle board and enjoyed it tremendously. Location is near everything. The best is the sea across SCP Hotel where you see turtles, crabs , shrimps and fish. Local people jumping off from the edge of the street and having a picnic on the grass. Wonderful sight to see. Just across the hotel. Go book it in Hilo.

    One can jaunt down hill into the Hilo waterfront, a little over a half hour. Maybe grab some coffee at the 7-11 at the half way point, or get some stronger stuff downtown. A quick Uber/Lyft ride to anywhere in town. Clean and well maintained. Quiet suburban setting. None of the rampant homeless shenanigans of downtown and bayfront hotel and home-stay locations... which I personally find fascinating but could use an occasional break from, as this location provides. It's got familiar "normie" appeal.

    The location was exceptional in terms of it's proximity to downtown Hilo and some of the areas major attractions. It was walkable or you had the option for bikes which was equally convenient. Dining options for breakfast, lunch and dinner were also easily accessible, when using the hotel restaraunt wasn't what we wanted. Nightly happy hours were a great opportunity to wind down and meet new people.

    It is an old hawaiian style acco which worked out well for us being on a budget and in need of a hotel after airport arrival in de evening. Breakfast was great with coffee, fresh muffins, croissant, bagels and fresh fruit. Lady at check in wa very friendly and advised us a local restaurant nearby for good food.

    The hotel and the room was very nice. The room was very large and comfortable, much more so than the average hotel in Hawaii. The view to the trees (facing away from the ocean) was awesome. The pool was nice and some of the staff was very friendly. There was plenty of parking and the location was great.

    A very charming inn in a truly Hawaiian environment. I would choose this authentic, beautiful, natural setting over a Hilo beach resort anytime! The sound of the Falls and the walk down the garden path was enchanting. A wonderful find and a yummy breakfast!

    I liked the connivence of how close it was to hilo it was only a 3 min drive to downtown and i loved the fact it was an affordable hotel considering other hotels on Hawaii were much too expensive. The Staff were very sweet and were on top of everything.
