Guest Reviews
- James (10/5): - Great and efficient!
- Paul D (6/5): - I have no problem with the management of this hotel, but I want people to understand what the property is so they’re not taken by surprise as I was. It’s a wood structure built in the 1960’s, according to a sign on the property. It’s two stories with no elevator. I’m in my 70’s and I had to carry a 50 pound suitcase up and down the stairs since I was assigned a second floor room and could not change it (receptionist said they were fully booked). The furnishings and decor in the room looked like a match to the quoted 1960’s age of the building. Everything was clean and neat, no problem there. But coming from a Hilton stay in Honolulu, I wasn’t prepared for what I got. My fault for not doing better research. I booked it as part of a package with the airfare. I only stayed one night, didn’t want to pay resort prices. Not sure Lihue has any middle ground between the resorts and this. If you don’t mind basic accommodation, you may be happy here. I’m just used to a step or two up from it.
- Sue (6/5): - Didn’t use kitchen facilities
- Danielle (10/5): - This place is so cute! The staff were very friendly. AC runs cold and the bed was comfortable. No issues with water pressure or hot water. There are several food options within walking distance. It is an older building and has its quirks but I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
- Larry (8/5): - Staff was helpful when asking questions.
- Cavin (10/5): - The staff was very helpful in making sure I got the key to my room because I arrived after 8pm. The room was very comfortable.
- Yvonne (10/5): - Close to the airport, which was great. Plenty of room for the 4 of us. We really enjoyed our first night in Kauai here.
- Shelly (10/5): - This was our second stay. We were able to gwt connecting rooms, and it was fabtastic. The excursions we booked were fantastic. The lazy river is tops with my family. There is something for everyone!
- Rian (10/5): - Super cute property, very warm and welcoming staff, convenient location, clean and comfortable room and I loved the room layout options available for families.
- Klaudia (10/5): - Very nice, clean, quiet hotel with free coffee and lemon 🍋 water - we appreciate it a lot! Friendly stuff, highly recommended 👌
- gracemarie (8/5): - Property is clean, but the bed is saggy on both sides the middle is higher feels like you gonna fall while sleeping.
- charles (6/5): - Clean, very limited parking.
- Nickie (6/5): - This was booked for a single night close to the airport as arrived later. Picked a basic room and it was very dated as was the property. Plus sides - clean and comfortable bed. Walked to the car rental the next morning.
- John (10/5): - Nice and clean place
- DWayne (10/5): - Clean room and nice not to have to pay for parking
- Ann (4/5): - No elevator. Stairs narrow and steep. Room is single occupancy only. Hotel advertised as resort quality but is actuality in the center of the capitol city in Kauai. As a visitor I will never return to this hotel.
- WEI (8/5): - Room so older,and AC sounds too aloud!
- Richard (2/5): - I didn't like anything. I think they put their own reviews in. Room was ok but it is noisy, people wandering around outside for no apparent reason and the AC unit (tiny window unit) wouldn't cool down the 500 sq ft room. We asked for early check in and they refused because room wasn't ready AC. $200+ wasted. Do not rent here.
- Alexandra (10/5): - It was a cute
- William (10/5): Nice stay! - Older facility, and that is very evident. But kept up well, best and clean. Very friendly and helpful staff. We would stay there again.
- Elizabeth (6/5): - It was a pl
- Leonard Alexander Canders (4/5): - When we first walked in, I noticed a stain on the toilet seat. We were exhausted and thought it was just a discoloration or something, didn't think much of it, but to make myself feel better, I took a disinfectant wipe to wipe the seat down AND THE STAIN CAME OFF. I think it may have been blood. We didn't mention it to staff because we clearly took care of it ourselves, but still gross. There was also no soap or shampoo of any kind, so be prepared to get your own or bring your own. The shower was way too strong, and there was no way to make the water come out without blasting you, any attempts to adjust the shower head made it worse. The room we had was small, but we expected that, but the air conditioner unit was so loud it sounded like a helicopter in our room making it hard to sleep. It's also in a noisy area, this probably doesn't happen all the time, but right outside our room they were doing utility work on a Saturday morning. Then there were loud garbage trucks. The walls are extremely thin and our neighbors were loud and stayed up late; there are no phones in the room to call the front desk, and the front desk didn't have hours during that time to call on our cell, and we didn't want to potentially get in an altercation with other guests so we just tried our best to ignore their noise. Not a relaxing place to stay.
- John (10/5): - Good place if you’re traveling for work for a night. If your on a budget or don’t want to spend a lot this is for t
- Taysha (8/5): - Love it rooms are nice ..
- Eric (8/5): - This hotel was booked as we were a day early to our resort that wasn’t available. It’s a great last minute place to stay. I would use them again.
- Jim (10/5): - Right on the water. Nicely appointed. Great location with many things in walking distance
- Kathleen (10/5): - Wonderful!!
- Robert (8/5): - Older property but well kept. Quiet area and very comfortable place to rest after a 10 hour flight from Arizona.
- Jennifer (10/5): - Quaint vintage vibe. Clean and comfortable room with AC.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Overpriced and underwhelming - For the money that I pay, this was not worth it. The bed was hard and extremely uncomfortable. The Air conditioner smelled like mold. The shower curtain would not stay in place and water got all over the floor. Also, the towels were flimsy and thin. Also, there’s a rooster that goes off at the crack of dawn that needs to be dealt with. I don’t like to get poor reviews, but overall, it was not a good experience.
- Leen (10/5): - Amazing staff very kind
- Evie (10/5): - Quiet, quaint, vintage stay! We loved it here! Great home base as we were out and about all day.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Book somewhere else. - This hotel does NOT match the booking pictures like at all. You pull up to the hotel and immediately think "am I safely going to be able to leave my belongings and car here?". The parking is okay at best. The hotel is SIGNIFICANTLY outdated. The power will pop if you run the AC unit and hair dryer at the same time. The walls are paper thin so we could hear other couples spicy nights, the TV was bad quality, Now let me tell you about the shower. It was absolutely atrocious! You can barely fit a single person in there, there was a faucet at the bottom of a shower (without a tub!) for some reason. Because the shower is so small, you cant effectively wash certain areas, especially when the shower head wouldnt point down more than a few inches. My boyfriend is 6'2 and it wouldnt go lower than hitting his chest; Im 5'2, imagine how that is. The toilet paper was so thin that if a fly landed on it, the fly would fall through it causing it to rip. When it comes to eco friendly, yeah it is cause if you're there for 2 days youll use an entire roll of see through TP, and you'll get charged if you ask for more, their towels are old and not replaced save recycling. You can tell because the towels leave this nice annoying fuzz that sticks to everywhere on your body, and I mean everywhere. Hotel just isn't worth staying at again. Look for something a little nicer. I promise you; its worth the few extra bucks.
- Gonzalo (8/5): - Very well situated. Many good food options close to the hotel. Friendly staff.
- Paul (10/5): - Was close to airport and great little family restaurant
- Henry (10/5): - This is a very old hotel built in the 1950's. It has been significantly remodeled but still retains its old Hawaiian charm. It is located near some very interesting local restaurants, museums, and central to most locations on Kauai. The manager of the hotel, Ronald Kikumoto, has a passion for Hawaiian history, events, and geography. He enjoys giving visitors a comprehensive look at this mystical historic island chain.
- Mathieu (10/5): - The room was very comfortable and clean!
- Surendra (4/5): - Poor internet connection and unprofessional receptionist.
- Russ (8/5): - Had to ask for bath towels. There was none in the room.
- Jeff (6/5): Basic lodging - This place is pretty basic. I would say that it is closer to a motel than a hotel as there is very limited amenities or common areas. For the amount that it cost, I would like to get more value, but I also understand that Kauai is extremely expensive to stay on. Nothing wrong with the place, just nothing special.
- Surendra (4/5): - Almost no WiFi signal and staff ignored the issue when I asked about it. Bathroom and shower tiny. AC does not cool off the room because it is next to the bathroom away from the bed.
- Grace (8/5): - Easy to get to from the airport, quiet and pleasant.
- Javier (6/5): - This location was very convenient and quiet, and the staff was very friendly. However the bed sheets weren’t completely clean, floors weren’t vacuumed, and the A/C didn’t cool the room very well.
- Kerri (10/5): - A very pleasant old style building. Very quiet. Staff was wonderful, easily assessable by car or with Uber or other transportation to close by locations. Close to the airport and other attractions. Room was very cozy and comfortable, which included out mini fridge and microwave and coffee tea pot sink .
- SHANNON (10/5): True Old-Hawaii - We had a lovely stay. This spot is true old-Hawaii. The rooms are simple and small but the character is EXACTLY what I expect from MY kind of Kauai! Staff was super friendly and the location very convenient to downtown.
- Jennifer (10/5): Great local hotel near the airport - The Kauai Palms is a great, clean hotel near the airport with friendly staff. We stayed two nights there in August before heading to our vacation rental on the Northshore. Would highly recommend for travelers seeking convenience and affordability near the airport.
- David (10/5): - Just one more thing air conditioning not bigger for big room feel not too cold because wheater hot outside
- Jason (10/5): Excellent charming motel! - Stayed three nights for a business trip, so I didn't need much in the way of amenities. Room (14) was clean and quiet, AC was cold, had a small kitchenette in my room, so everything was just about perfect. Was visited several times by an orange tabby named Mochi, who assured me that he was the Director of Guest Services. He barged right in my room several times over the course of my stay to check the bed for comfortability, which seemed excessive, but he assured me he is the professional. Had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back
- Gabriel (8/5): - This is a budget hotel. The area is quiet & peaceful, clean , cold AC , no bugs. I would stay again
- Angelina (10/5): - The staff is very friendly!
- Sue (10/5): - Friendly, clean, very nice place to stay!
- Sandra Claire (10/5): - Go into this stay knowing it’s going to be down to earth, not a fancy resort and you’ll be very happy. It’s clean, cozy, safe accommodations that I enjoyed staying at as a solo traveler. The tv and ac were nice to have, but most of all I’d go back just to Mango the hotel cat. Nini at the front desk was so lovely and welcoming. Definitely recommend, especially if you’re a woman solo traveler like me looking for somewhere safe!
- Billy (4/5): - Roaches. Noisy aircon.
- Rosa (8/5): - Big room. Clean. Convenient location.
- Estevan (10/5): - The staff was grade A
- Rosann (10/5): - It was great
- Robin Shayna (10/5): - Very easy check in. Great Staff!! Renee who is the front office representative is Awesome!!
- Kelsey (10/5): - We needed a 1 night accommodation and this fit the bill. Staff was super friendly, the room was cute and clean. I would highly recommend if you need somewhere to lay your head without all the extra amenities!
- timothy (8/5): - It was clean and convenient to the airport, but not a place I would stay again.
- Jodi (2/5): - Misleading the room shown on Expedia to what you got. The room was dark and isolated with two tiny windows on each side of the bed. It is as like a dark dungeon away from all the other rooms. We saw it and never stayed there we booked at another hotel. I have booked with Expedia numerous times but after this I will be looking at other companies. Going to a tropical island I don’t expect to stay in a dark back room with no natural light. Very disappointed with Expedia
- Devika (6/5): Average quality rooms and below average bathroom - The place is clean but the room rates are very expensive for the outdated bathroom and amenities and cramped room. There is no hand held shower except for head shower so not easy to clean yourself after a beach day. Their customer service was good and the location is central being only 5 minutes from Lihui airport but the pillows mattress and bathrooms and towels were not comfortable and very low quality.
- DeAnn (8/5): Quaint Hotel, close to our activities - My only complaint is that some rooms don't have air conditioning, only a fan. The rooms with airconditioning were more money, not much, but it would have been nice to know before booking the less expensive room
- David (10/5): - If the ocean is the pool you want, this is the hotel for you. As long as you are willing to drive there of course. Here is bare bones.
- Annica (8/5): Family friendly - Clean and nice to have an outdoor seating area. The tubs didn’t hold water which was a bit hard with kids. Definitely dated but clean I only started 2 nights it would not be comfortable for a week
- Surendra (6/5): - It is a nice, comfortable place.
- Tashara (10/5): - Staff was amazing!
- Matthew J (8/5): - Nice, adequate place to stay close to the airport and downtown Lihue.
- William (10/5): Good stay - Older hotel, but very clean room … bathroom a bit small for today’s standards, but again very clean and usable. Quiet setting. We were able to park about 20 feet from our door, which made getting luggage in and out easy. The hotel worked very well for our purposes. Would stay again and definitely recommend.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect stay - Better than expected, the staff was welcoming and the rooms were spacious
- Alka (10/5): - Needed accommodations for a short stay and this was reasonably priced. Booked studio for family of 4 ( with 2 teenagers) and it was spacious, clean and comfortable. Would stay here again in the future.
- Alfred (10/5): - Front desk is friendly, except that I wish they would have the coffee earlier, I would stay there again!
- Yuzhu (4/5): - Everything feels out dated. There’s no plug for phone or CPAP in bedroom
- Michael (10/5): - The cottage was small but cozy and convenient. Good price on short notice. The area is not the most beautiful on the island but that’s what cars are for.
- GINA (10/5): A delightful surprise. - We needed a hotel for 1 night near the airport with 2 beds to sleep 3 people. We had a room with 1 King and a twin. Perfect! I read a ton of reviews and took a a chance on Kauai Palms and we are soooooo to glad we did! Here's why. It is a super cute property. The tropical theme in the room was so cute. Old school setup like Melrose Place. It was a step beyond clean. The property was older but the property and rooms were sparkling clean. There is a wonderful display of Hawaiian history and items on display. It was fascinating to read the history and look at artifacts. A hidden gem. The hotel is close to beaches and shopping but not in the resort areas. It is more downtown in local areas. The staff was super nice, welcoming and helpful. This hotel is crazy close to the airport.
- Creighton (10/5): - This place is CULTURAL ICON🌺🙏🙏🙏🌺
- Al and Carol (4/5): - Room was a lot smaller than the pictures. No microwave and hot water pot as shown in the pictures. There's no phone, no up to date charging station. Very old property.
- Nicole (8/5): - It’s an older property, so be wary of electricity usage and sink water temperature. Otherwise, we had a lovely stay. The staff was so nice.
- Nicole (8/5): - We stayed one night. Needed a place close to the airport before traveling to Princeville to stay for the week. Very small but clean. Parking is a challenge if arriving late. Staff was quick to respond via text message. Fresh coffee in the morning. Could hear through the walls. For a quick one night stay, not bad, But would not stay longer than that.
- chris (8/5): - First time here from SD. Cottage was very nice. Checked in late but access was easy.
- Paul (6/5): Nice motel - Good motel to stay for late flights or a night to wait out flight next day. Not the best for longer stay as location is in center of town off main road.
- Paul (10/5): Nice hotel but location a challenge - Really nice hotel/resort. Management on site and very responsive to all requests. Only draw back is location which is off the main area by cruise ships. Tough time getting to beach.
- Grant (10/5): Aloha from a small corner of Kauai - Nice quaint, small place. The price was right. Don't expect the big rooms of those large hotels/resorts. Yes the room was small, the bathroom was even tinier. But it was cozy, the bed was comfy and most important everything was clean. And the people were welcoming. Definitely felt the Aloha!
- Noah (10/5): An exceptional stay! - We had a truly wonderful stay at Kauai Palms Hotel 🌺✨ We booked the garden studio, and our room was absolutely perfect – clean, cozy, and in a super convenient location for exploring Kauai 🚗🌴. But what made our stay so memorable was the incredible staff 🙏💚. A special mention to Lisa, who was always a joy to correspond with, Talia, who was always super friendly and kind, and an extra heartfelt shoutout to Rini, who was beyond kind and warm when we arrived. Her genuine kindness and heartfelt welcome truly set the tone for our entire stay, and we felt her Aloha in every moment 🌞🌈. Thank you, Rini, for making our Kauai time extra special 💛. Highly recommend staying here if you want a caring, convenient, and comfortable base on Kauai. May all beings be well, be happy, be peaceful 🌿 With Mettā for your wonderful people today, tomorrow, and every single day of your lives, Noah
- Bella (10/5): - The property was cozy and comfortable.
- Joel (10/5): - Very convenient and clean little motel. Not fancy but has everything you need - great free coffee in the morning
- Angelina (10/5): - Renee is amazingly personable!
- Sandy Diane (8/5): - No elevator, small bathroom, individual noisy air conditioner, no table.
- Clodualdo Jimenez (4/5): - Did not change bed sheet and towels during our stay.
- Carmen (8/5): VERY clean - Small but VERY clean room in a quaint Hawaiian style older hotel. We were arriving after hours and were given instructions via text on where and how to get in the lock box. Close to the airport and worked very well for our one night stay.
- Maryann (8/5): - It’s pretty decent and quiet.
- Daniel (6/5): Decent but small. - Very average accommodations. Clean enough but dated. The WiFi was extremely slow. Friendly staff. Coffee served in the mornings. Ice machine is behind closed doors. The room was very small but clean. Wish there were more outlets. Small refrigerator and air conditioning were pleasant surprises. Street noise is pretty loud.
- Jerome (10/5): - It was 4th of July weekend and we’re in town for softball at the Koloa softball fields . It was cheaper than most for that weekend and the convenience of being close to town was a plus! It was a short drive to Koloa and back which was a breeze! We will be back next time without and kuleana so we can enjoy!!
- David (8/5): - Clean property great staff, funky old motel but comfortable enough
- Karl (8/5): - Great location, clean and great staff. The room was small but we managed just fine.
- Joel (10/5): - Excellent stay.
- Swastika (2/5): - The room had no windows and felt completely closed in—almost like being in a cell. The bed and pillows were quite uncomfortable. I had booked for six nights but ended up staying just one. Thankfully, my friends had an extra bed and let me crash with them after seeing my room.
- Lyle (6/5): - The fridge makes a good awful sound when the compressor runs. It took a while to figure out what the noise was. Almost sounds like fingernails on a chalkboard in the middle of the night
- Oscar (10/5): - Amazing value and a great stay. Would definitely stay here again.
- Dale (10/5): - Very convenient when arriving to the island on a late flight... didn't want to waste a day nor pay a fortune for a night's sleep. Not the Taj Mahal but clean and perfect for the night. Mahalo!
- DWayne (10/5): - When I go to Kauai for business this where I stay. Near our facility and fairly quiet area.
