Place was good, but desperately needs work on. Not all rooms look like the pictures and they need a deep and thorough clean. Staff were great and very friendly.

Very friendly owner and staff. Very personal. The hotel has a lot of charm even though it is older. It also has newly renovated rooms. You feel like you are right in the jungle, even though it is only a 5-minute walk to the city center. If you like history, this hotel is perfect.

Very old hotel, basic rooms, ours had some good fans, a fridge, and was clean, could have used a couple more pillows, and there was no hot water. Walking distance from old Hilo.

I love the old Hawaiian look that the Wild Ginger Hotel provides. There were no fancy pictures or decorations but what they did have, gave me a sense of old Hawaii. I enjoyed every bit of staying there and I plan on staying there again.

It is very cute and old fashioned, with alot of Hawaiiana flavor but missing some important upgrades. Hot water is a problem, there's no tv and no air conditioning, although the fans were adequate. Staff is lovely and personable.

The worst Hotel I’ve ever been to. The sheets where dirty, dirty socks laying on the floor, no a/c, the door seem like with one push it will open up, no hot water in the room and no toilet paper. If you are use to living out side this is the economical hotel for you. I literally checked in and checked back out after 10 minutes.

We left immediately after check in to the room. the room was not nearly as shown from the picture. The lock does not really work, broken windows, no AC, the room looks terrible. My wife does not feel safe, we quickly booked another hotel and left. The money was totally wasted. We took some pictures of the room as painful reminders

The hotel is older and a little run down, but that was no surprise as they were very clear on the condition. Given that, it’s very clean and I had no concerns about the bed linens or towels. It all added to the character! It’s located just a few blocks from downtown which was fantastic, but I didn’t feel totally comfortable with the area to walk there by myself at night so I just drove.

Front desk staff were polite and helpful. Asked for extra blankets and the staff member was cordial and accommodating. The Wild Ginger Inn is a gem and is a pleasant stay. We have stayed here many times. We really like it.

I seriously love the atmosphere of the place! It’s like a comfortable pair of worn out shoes. The place is not polished but it’s charming.
