Very convenient spot to swim the turtles by driving for a few minutes towards the airport, a great breakfast with fruits and homemade cakes, overall a very good deal if you enjoy staying in a vintage building with a bit reduced comfort

What a special place... It's a lovely, local place and so convenient to downtown.

6/10 Good

The building is clean but old, the roof can use a good cleaning and fresh paint. No issue with hot water for shower. Breakfast is ok, fresh fruit, bagel, muffins.

This is a wonderful local treasure of a place that captures the spirit of Hilo and Hawaii It was a calm oasis, cconvenient and best of all, great staff!

This is an old property that is a great retreat in spite of it's foibles. Three years ago when I stayed he my concern was the safety of the neighborhood. There has been a remarkable change for the better. For the price you can't beat it. The staff is wonderful.

4/10 Fair

Not great.
In the first room there were major structural problems. Beams were rotting and being held up by paint. The floor bent and creaked. The plumbing couldn’t even do a full flush. I was glad no bed bugs but there were broken windows and a heavy mildew smell.

It’s an old hotel no hot shower i woke up with some bug in my room but bed was comfortable restaurant nearby they provide basic breakfast only stayed for a night
Cathrine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!

2/10 Poor

Horrible Experience
This place was horrible. Poor lighting. No AC. Dirty Rooms. told it takes 10-15 minutes to heat up water so if we needed hot water sooner, they offered a public shower on the main floor. I did not stay here! Checked out right after I checked in.

This place was difficult to find and seedy, no hot water the very sweet front desk girl was told to tell anyone who complained to use the lobby shower
Sheryll, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

You can't beat this price!
Let's face it, you can't beat the price... and, you get what you pay for. We chose this place because we stayed here 3 years ago, and just loved the couple who owned it. So friendly. The motel was in need of attention 3 years ago, but the owners had big dreams. It was clean, eventually, you got hot water in the shower, and the breakfast was to die for. Fresh fruit, pastries, huge pot of coffee each morning, juice. That was three years ago. This year, apparently, new owners. First glance, we noticed that the interior had been painted, nice. But that was basically it. Reception was very nice, very patient with me, who had screwed up our reservations, thank you! Young people working there were nice, but aren't terribly clear with regards to their responsibilities. Hot water was sporadic. Breakfast this year about the same generic breakfast as at every other cheap hotel. No fruit (except one morning when a few bananas were sliced up). Bagels were frozen store bought ones. Banana bread was so dry. Keurig coffee, which is expensive, so goodness, get that 40 cup pot and brew; you'll save some money.

The accommodation was comfortable with a nice little breakfast offered also. Unfortunately the wifi didn't work in the downstairs room I was in but worked fine up in the lobby area.

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!

The old historical plants and bamboo surrounding the property brings out all the jungle sounds like a symphony. Amazing!

For being over 100 years old, it's exactly what you'd expect. She's old but has so much charm. The room and bathroom was clean, and met our expectations. The fans and no AC was okay with us. The breakfast was nice too!

It was dirty, old, no bathroom door, bugs, i can go on and on. Gross. But staff was really nice
