Great staff. It is a rustic hotel (no AC, TV, sloped floors, etc) But it was comfortable with a very nice staff. Don’t let first impressions scare you off. I loved falling asleep to the frogs and other night life.

Do not believe any above 2 star review. The worst ever and I have been around the world. I continue to report fake reviews. I suspect the pictures over a decade old. Dirty, moldy, buggy, should be condemned.

I enjoyed my first night, so i extended my stay by two days. Don't listen to the folks who prefer a sterile "downtown" hotel experience - The Wild Ginger IS Hawai'i. Historic building, amazing staff, and the convenience of being right on the edge of downtown Hilo. Minutes from lava tubes, waterfalls, and beaches. Will definitely stay here again next time I'm on the Big Island!

It's an older building, one of the oldest operating hotels on the island. Don't pass this one up: just outside of downtown Hilo, affodrable, and the kind of character your want in a room in paradise. Hot water takes a bit to get going, so be patient, but that's the only drawback. The staff are amazing, the courtyard is a beautiful micro slice of the island, and the rooms are more than sufficient! Biggest fridge in a hotel anywhere yet for me! A five minute drive or 10 minute walk from downtown: either way, it's a great lodging experience. If I'm ever here again, i know where I'll be staying. Mahalo, Wild Ginger!

This was not worth what we paid per night. The smell of the room was awful. The fan and light did not work. Had to get two fans from the front and they were also dirty. Would not recommend.

One star because at least I didn’t see a cockroach
The bathroom floor and shower curtain were covered in green and black mildew. When we alerted the front desk the sink was completely clogged, their “repair” was to remove the clog at least enough so it could slowly drain over a matter of hours. Spider visitors gave us great company along the ceilings, probably being fed by the bugs coming in the rusty, old window screen inserts. Patio lounge chairs were strewn around unclean. The children’s “play house” had a danger sign to “keep out” - it looked like it may fall over at any moment. And it was close to a busy street with the sound of heavy traffic. Overall, the accommodations didn’t evoke romantic or rustic, old-times Hilo. They were decrepit and in disrepair. DO NOT believe the pictures they post online.

空港すぐ近くで、安かったので予約しました。かなり古く、ホテルというよりモーテル、民宿寄りです。エアコン、部屋着はありません。シャンプー、固形石鹸、ローション、天井ファン、冷凍冷蔵庫、各種タオルはあります。ドライヤーは備え付けはありませんが、言えば貸してくれます。水、お湯が出るウォーターサーバー、電子レンジがロビーにあり24時間使えます。Wi-Fiは部屋ではつながりにくいです。色々不便はありますが、今まで泊まったホテルのどこよりも、予約後の注意事項のメールやりとり等がスムーズで密でした。
