Hotel Independent di Hakalau

"We walked in the room and were astounded by the beautiful water views. Lovely balcony. We had a fridge and microwave. Perfect for us. The location was very quiet. Bed was very comfortable. A lovely stay."

"If you like Sailor Jerry, Donovan's Reef, and vintage tiki aesthetic, you'll enjoy Wild Ginger. Yes it really takes 20 minutes for hot water and there's no a/c, but the rates are reasonable, rooms are clean and breezy, staff are nice, and parking and continental breakfast free. The hotel was built in 1911 (16 years before the Royal Hawaiian) and the new owners are working hard to keep it nice. Enjoy the ceiling fans, coqui frogs, and 5 minute walk to downtown because you won't find another place...

"Thank you! "

"Our family of three stayed in one of the private rooms. We felt comfortable and relaxed there. There were plenty of bathrooms to choose from. Very nice hostel. "

"Helpful and responsive staff, easy to follow check in instructions, absolutely recomend if wanting to be close to the downtown events very convenient and walkable to everything. "

"This is a well-maintained and well-managed small hotel"

"Absolutely superb. Randy thought of everything to make this a quiet, friendly, comfortable place to stay. A quiet retreat. It put a dent in our tourist activities, though, because we didn’t want to leave! It’s good to do some grocery shopping before you get there, as there are minimal food options in the immediate area."

"The building looks old but the room itself is so nice and clean. "
