A peaceful property at the very top of the hill, room 3 overlooked Hilo and the ocean to the east. So waking up and seeing it was perfect. Loved it all.

Accommodation was fantastic for the view. the view outside the room was just majestic. The room we got was on the smaller side and did not have any kitchen. We got two bottled waters. But since there was no kitchen we did not have a place to refill our bottles. There is parking for every guest. Choose this stayif you like view outside the room.

The king suite is an end unit with a wonderful balcony. The studio apartment has a large area with the king bed, sitting area and large picture window with a beautiful view. Bathroom is spacious and includes a separate area with a lit vanity with a bench. At check-in, the room was clean and very well prepared. Parking is tight, but there is a system in place that makes it work. The only issues we had were that housekeeping didn’t replenish the coffee and tea supplies (even after 3 requests were made). Also, we received a morning message that the room was ready, but it was not. Not sure what happened there in terms of the communications on those two issues. Minor issues, but they knocked my overall rating from a 5 star to a 4 star. Overall, I highly recommend the king suite (other rooms may not be as spacious and do not appear to include a balcony, which is important to us). Very cool converted “old” house with a nice common area that includes comfortable seating, TV and pool table. This area would provide a nice meeting place if you are booking with multiple people/multiple rooms. Great job!!

Kitchen had no kettle or cooktop or toaster. The microwave was dirty. There was mouse poo in the shower when we arrived. The bed was very hard. There was a tiny table and wooden chairs to sit on, no cushions and the place was tiny.

the property was loud, fake birds chirping loudly all night, dog would bark a lot, can hear people in adjoining rooms. Ear pods but can't sleep with anything in my ear. only received housekeeping 2x with 6 night stay. Towels smelled. AC was not well equipped for sleeping area. One last night there someone tried to get into room at 11pm by using pin code on door. Didn't feel safe there. Big gap under all rooms.

The property and the view were extraordinary. The room is tiny, but not really designed for guests too relaxing because there is a large community living room downstairs. I did ask some questions through email, but did not get a response from the owners know that we ever see them. I take that as a negative.

Comfortable, clean and convenient. It was a nice hilltop location with a great view. The economy room was cute and cozy. The living areas were enjoyable places to spend time. The walls were thin, but guests were respectful of the quiet hours.

Hilltop Vacation Rental was great for our needs which was a place to stay for 1 night in Hilo. The property sits on a hill which was lovely for being in a quiet area and for privacy. The house, room, and bathroom was clean and we felt safe. The house is older, so just keep this in mind when

Love this little gem of a place. Have stayed here twice over the past year in two different rooms. The bed could use an upgrade, it was a little too soft and the pillows small. Besides that, it is thoughtfully stocked and wonderful grounds. The views are amazing!

We absolutely loved the location and the beautiful common areas at Hilltop Legacy — peaceful surroundings and stunning views! The host was very friendly and even took time to chat with us and share some great local recommendations. The bathroom didn’t have a vent, so it could get a bit musty after use, and we missed having a microwave and an iron. Also, if you’re a light sleeper, the hens cooing through the night might be a bit disruptive. Overall, a charming place with a lot of character and hospitality!

A very sweet, well-kept stately old property that exudes then charm of old Hilo. Check in was easy- note there are some fairly steep stairs leading up to the front door, as well as stairs within the house. I was very comfortable in my efficiency room, and especially appreciated the water, condensation, and diamond bakery cream crackers which were a much needed snack during my Merrie Monarch adventures! A great location and a comfortable place to stay for any Hilo vacation.
