We stayed at the Orchid Tree B&B because of the many positive reviews-- and we loved it! In fact, if we hadn't already reserved the rest of the week, and paid for, a Kohala hotel, we would have tried to stay longer. Our suite had pretty and comfy furniture, great bedding and pillows, an upright piano, and windows all around... more

We spent three nights at the Orchid Tree, and I can't imagine a better place to stay on the Big Island. Beautiful, roomy, relaxed and tropical, it feels very private (and yes, it does have air conditioning, but you don't really need it with the ocean breeze). The hosts, Steve and Su are super people, gracious, accomodating and attentive. The... more

Tucked out of the way on a quiet street just a short distance from downtown Hilo, Orchid Tree B&B is a very pleasant retreat. We stayed in a very comfortable and large room with a terrific view of the sunrise. Breakfast was served on our semi-private deck and consisted of a beautiful fruit plate prepared by Steve the owner. Accompanying... more

Overview: Nice place, no air conditioning, little privacy from owner and other guests, good location Cleanliness: While the room itself was clean when we arrived (no dirt on the floor, fresh linens, clean fridge, etc), there were termites and other ant-like creatures running around near the sink. Because there's no air conditioning you have to sleep with the windows open,... more

Steve and Su are the most gracious of Innkeepers. I stayed in the new suite and from the moment I walked in the door I knew I had made the right choice. You have everything you need and nothing was missed by the Welsh's when they added the Suite. Breakfast was absolutely incredible. A truly delicious,fresh, and powerful fruit plate... more

We stayed in both the Hula Room and the Koi and loved both--for different reasons: The Hula Room is perfect for family-bonding...board games, DVDs, even a piano with sheet music--are all there for your family's enjoyment! I was particularly amused by the bathroom's Hula Doll collection, but then, I'm a secret-admirer of kitsch. The Koi Suite, to the contrary, is... more

We stayed at Orchid B & B, Hilo, HI for 2 nights in February. This B & B was the highlight of our entire 2 week vacation. Our room was large, beautifully decorated, comfortable, and immaculate. The hosts, Steve & Su, are most gracious and knowledgeable. Their yard is a beautiful lush garden with a small pond and swimming pool.... more

The Orchid Tree B&B was everything we could have hoped for. It was just outside downtown Hilo and very easy to find. The Koi Suite is gorgeously done, the hot tub is great, and the breakfasts is gigantic (tea, coffee, enough fruit for twice as many people, oatmeal, french toast, etc.). You are given a lot of freedom and are... more

We were extremely impressed with the quality of the Orchid Tree B&B. The Koi Suite was gorgeous and extremely comfortable. The fruit plates at breakfast were delicious and breathtakingly beautiful. It's located the perfect distance from downtown Hilo, which made it perfectly peaceful but close enough to get great noodles at Nori's whenever we felt like it. I look forward... more
