We are budget minded travelers and can easily accept minimal lodging standards but this "Hotel" is abysmal. This complex is not a hotel, just a collection of dirty, neglected. sparsely furnished and poorly stocked condos. There is no ice anywhere nor hair dryers or toiletries or drinking glasses etc. The Zombie attitude of the staff will not get you another... More

Don't bother staying there.  The room floor was filthy, the shower stall dirty, they don't give soap in the room, one roll of toilet paper for a week and that's it, the pillows were stained, the AC was an old window unit that sounds like a truck running, the kitchenette is pathetic, you get knives, forks, spoons and that's it,...

We were recommended to the Kona Islander by a family friend who stays for a month at a time. Unfortunately, we did not get to experience the nice unit they stay in. Upon arrival our unit wasn't ready - so we went out for early happy hour. When we returned a couple hours later and handed the keys and entered... More

I was afraid to go in there with so many bad reviews here, but when we get there, it was nice. First, you must understand that it's not an hotel, it's a place where people rent their condo. That said, each room is different, but with minimal thing in common : a kitchenet, air conditionner, tv, ... all in different... More

I love this tiny place on Alii Drive...The Islander is well managed, not fancy, but very attractive to people wanting to have a nice place to stay, close to restaurants, yet feels quite secluded due to its lush gardens. More

My full review will be in the vacation rental section since that's where we found this studio apt - we are renting directly from an individual owner. But I felt moved to comment sooner (we are still here) because of the reports of bed bugs last month! I don't doubt that it was truly a problem then, but I have... More

The only good things I can say about this place is the view from our room(256 )was good, looked out on the ocean and the grounds were immaculate and the location is great. We walked up and down Ali'i street for pretty much everything..... Noisy. Noisy. Noisy. The carpet was filthy. Air conditioner was way to loud. Two rolls of... More

I booked a vacation trip through travelocity to Hawaii. I stayed at the kona islander inn on ali'i drive. Upon arriving at the hotel i saw a mattress leaning up against the wall next to my room (exterior doors). I did not put two and two together that the bed was prob outside cus of bed bugs. I stayed in... More

Every time we entered the room it took a while to get over the musky smell. Our bed was so uncomfortable. Hard and sank in the middle. The floor was so dirty. After we took a bath and walking around the room - under our feet was totally black with dirt!!!! my husband was going to mop but no pads... More
