I read all the bad reports about this HOTEL and heard from people who have stayed in this hotel,so of course when it was picked for me shopping on hotwire I wasn't looking forward to it. The Minute My husband and I arrived and checked in, It was nothing as what I read or what people told me. It was... more

I've stayed in a lot of budget hotels in Hawaii. This one has the best rooms, best bed, best landscaping of all of them. It's very conveniently located, has free parking and a hot tub. Will stay here any time I am in Kona. Goodbye Kona Seaside, hello Kona Islander. more

You get a good value what you pay for: rooms which are clean but have left their best times behind them. The rooms were clean (we stayed there twice), staff was friendly and helpful and you can explore Kona by foot from there. However, for the next good beach and a decent grocery store, you need a car. more

We stayed in room 101 and loved every minute of it. The room was clean and furnished with a FULL sized fridge, microwave, toaster, and lots of dishes. (Even a wine opener!) It over looked the pool and while the front door was right at the parking lot it was still a very quiet room. The courtyard is lush, tropical,... more

This is our second year in a row at the Kona Islander Inn and we love it here. This time, we were in Room 329 overlooking the pool . We rent directly from the owner, Rita Roberts. Rita does a wonderful job keeping all of her condos clean and neat. Parking was tight again this year, but we were able... more

My husband and I stayed at the Kona islander in March 2009. We only expected to stay for 2 nights but we enjoyed the hotel and the location so much that we ended up spending 7 nights over the course of a 15 day vacation on the Big Island. The room was very comfortable and clean, with a microwave, toaster,... more

This place was disgusting, filthy, had broken furniture, and an added bonus!! A family of cockroaches everywhere. Was not a good experience at all. The shower was so dirty and disgusting I had to wear shower shoes!! All of the dishes had caked on food! So, not only was I responsible for doing my OWN towels in the laundry...but I... more

Good hotel, had an ocean front room, but paid a lot for a room that housed ants and roaches as well as us. Seemed the "hotel" was a condo rented out to travellers. Came with lots of ammenities including mini-fridge, micro, plates and cutlery, salt and pepper, and even beach mats. We stayed for 6 nights, loved the balcony, tv... more

We stayed in room 212 which had a queen and twin bed--perfect for two adults and one child. The room was clean but keep in mind that there is no daily room service, so keeping the room tidy is your own responsibility. There is a laundry room available if you want to rewash the towels and bed linens during your... more
