My husband and I stayed here for five days while we learned to scuba and explored the island. We thought the hotel was a great budget option. We used the free nearby parking and never had any problems. We really liked being able to walk to shops and restaurants nearby. While the hotel staff was not overly friendly, they were... more

This wasn't the best hotel we stayed in in Hawaii but for the price it was fine. It's very rough round the edges but it's also very well located and Kailua itself is a really nice place. We were only there for a night - I wouldn't have liked to have stayed there much longer than that but it was... more

This is a mediocre hotel with facilities that close very early. There is one way in and out after 9 pm. the pool closes at 6 pm. The good part is the rooms are clean. You are not made to feel welcome and the customer service at the desk is terrible. If you don't care about any of that,consider this:... more

Excellent location-withing easy walking distance to Alli Drive. We had a beautiful ocean view from our balcony. The rooms were clean and well kept. The staff was incredibly friendly. We stayed for 9 days on our honeymoon and loved it. A terrific value. The only drawback was the parking, which was tight spaces and sometimes too many cars. However, on... more

We were quite pleased with our stay at the Kona Seaside. We had a room on the ground floor in the Garden Wing. The room was clean and large and it had a small fridge, no coffee machine. We also had air-conditioning. The hotel has two pools, 1 next to the main building (Tower Wing) and one in the Pool... more

We stayed for 10 days in a Tower room with a gorgeous view of the mountain and ocean front. Watched the beautiful sunrises. Very comfortable room, very friendly and helpful staff. Within walking distance of snorkeling beaches, great restaurants, Alii Drive, Starbucks. We didn't rent a car this time and loved getting to know the local people. Can't beat the... more

We needed a place to stay in Kona after our late flight arrived and before our check-in the next day at another hotel. Kona Seaside hotel was perfect for our needs. We had a garden view room at a great price. It was clean, large, quiet (though there was occasional distant traffic noise). The bed was comfortable (firm, no springs... more

We needed one night at the end of a vacation and wanted something close to the airport and cheap. After searching through all the websites and looking at reviews we picked the Kona Seaside. It is an older hotel and shows it. It was more than acceptable, but if you've been staying at resorts or high end B&B's all trip... more

We stayed only one night after a 22 hours intercontinental flight before boarding the Kona Aggressor. We had asked for a quiet room and we got one upstairs at the tower which was really quiet and clean, too. Nothing fancy but very much o.k .for the price. Not a place I would spend 3 weeks vacation, but close to the... more
