If you are looking for a basic and comfortable location to explore Kauai from then this hotel is ideal. It is about 5 minutes drive from the airport and beside the beach. There are several restaurants you can walk to including Duke's. There is also an ABC store across the road. The room doors open to the outside like a... More

Garden Island Inn is a great place to stay in Kauai! Right in the heart of Lihue, it is across the street from Kalapaki Beach, and a mile from a great shopping mall (Kukui Grove) as well as stores within walking distance. The staff is wonderful, the units are beautifully decorated with artwork by Camille Fontaine. There are a lot... More

Kauai can be an expensive place in terms of accomodation if you haven't booked anything in advance (mainly "vacational rental" as they call it). So this is a small hotel, well located in Lihue, at a walking distance from a beach that will suit kids. Staff is great, very helpfull and attentive, free use of small boogie boards or other... More

Wouldn't stay anywhere else. In the two weeks I have been here I feel like part of the family. Complementary beach towels & chairs, snorkel equip, books, movies, nutrition bars, cookies and coffee provided in the office. Cosy, quaint, charming. Super friendly staff. A true taste of the ALOHA spirit.

This is a well loved, beautiful property that reminds you of the way things used to be. Local calls are free, vending machine cokes are $0.75, and beach equipment is available to check out. The staff treats their guests just the way they would want to be treated and are wonderful people. Although the rooms are small, they are clean... More

I have been intending to write about our fabulous 11 night stay at the Garden Island Inn two months ago in February. We found this gem right here on Trip Advisor last fall. It looked just like the warm and friendly place we would love, and it truly is! I was just looking at our pictures of Kauai and recalling... More

I just love this little place! Please do not make a reservation expecting all the bells and whistles of a Hyatt or the St. Regis - this is a locally owned, budget minded family hotel. But those who staff the Inn are some of the friendliest and warmest people that I've met on the island. At the end of my... More

Since Kauai coast resort was fully booked, we had to stay at Garden Inn for one night in early April. The location really turns me off as it is so closed to the major road, where the noise from the traffic could be heard all night long. If you do not mind noise, this place is perfect for low budget... More

We chose this inn based on many positive reviews, and we were not disappointed. The building itself is nothing special, but the rooms are large and very nicely done up. Lots of paintings and flower motifs make this a very friendly place, and the people at the front desk are very friendly and helpful as well. And lots of flowers... More
