How can I get cheap hotels in Hilo?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Hilo

  1. If you're looking to travel to Hilo on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $118. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $249. Staying a short amount of time in Hilo is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Hilo, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Hilo, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Hilo, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Top Hilo Hotel Reviews

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

Hilo Reeds Bay Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Genuinely had a perfect experience with my week staying here! I'm from an area where AC is all but ubiquitous and I run warm, so I was a bit worried about the room being too hot. It wasn't an issue in the slightest! My room was laid out perfectly with a small balcony and multiple windows to capture the winds blowing through. I was perfectly comfortable and my room was equipped with a ceiling and floor fans for the rare times I wanted them. If anyone reading this is like me and reading reviews and worrying about the rooms being too warm, I can genuinely promise my room was never anything other than comfortable. Aside from the pleasant temperature, everything else was so smooth. I didn't stay at a peak tourist time, but there was always plenty of parking available. Staff were always pleasant and helpful, and housekeeping always made sure my room's trash was taken out daily. My room was very clean and cozy. Location is fantastic, quiet but a short drive from everything in the Hilo area. My balcony view of Reed's Bay was wonderful; I saw sea turtles almost every day right from my room! I also really appreciated the on-site laundromat. Check-in and check-out were smooth and simple. The hotel is older (and there is no elevator), but it's clean and has a lot of positives too. I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat, zero complaints and a super pleasant experience from start to finish! Thank you for such a nice stay!"

"As soon as you pulled up the valet was very friendly and helpful with directions. The view to the ocean took my breath away as soon as you walked in to the main entrance. I enjoyed my stay and it was very pleasant having staff text me about current events and things going on around the area. For example the volcano being active so that we didn’t get to miss anything special about Hawaii. I didn’t even have to go anywhere and got to see sea turtles right outside the restaurant after breakfast the day before we were going to leave."
