Frommer's "This historic two-story wooden inn is rather modest for its price, especially compared with Yosemite’s Ahwahnee and the grand lodges of other national parks." Full review
Gayot "Located about a 45-minute drive from the Hilo airport, this unique hotel (dating back to 1846) sits on the very edge of Kilauea Crater in the heart of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park."
Fodor's "First built in 1846, Volcano House overlooks the Halema'uma'u Crater at the summit of active volcano Kilauea, boasting what's considered Hawaii's most unique hotel location." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"Offers the once-in-a-lifetime chance to dine and sleep within view of the electric orange glow of Kilauea Volcano’s bubbling crater lake." Full review
Lonely Planet "With an unforgettable location perched on the rim of Kilauea Caldera, the reborn Volcano House has long enjoyed its unique status as the park's only hotel." Full review

Concierge "Halekulani's little-sister property, this 297-room tower isn't beachfront... and has no grounds to speak of. What it does have is terrific bang for your buck."
Fodor's "The guest rooms in this high-rise complex have modern minimalist furnishings but give a nod to the tropics by keeping plantation-style shutters that open out to the lanai." Full review

"This well-priced boutique hotel appeals to foodies and families." Full review
Lonely Planet "From the moment you enter the elegant lobby, the Parc exudes an urban (and urbane) vibe." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Although it’s not on the beach, it is the sister of the luxurious Halekulani across the street. The level of service is the same at a much lower price."
Star Service "Located across the street from its stellar sibling Halekulani and a two-minute walk from the beach, this is a trendier pocket-size version of its neighbor." Full review
Gayot "Tucked in back of the gigantic Sheraton Waikiki hotel, this property was recently gutted and redone with new elegant trimmings with a chic and modern theme."
Frommer's "This hotel is a great Waikiki secret, designed for the 20s-to-30s crowds." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Halekulani’s sister hotel lies just across the street from its (much more) expensive sibling." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Offers stunning guestrooms and suites, as well as amenities that include guaranteed early check-in and late check-out, complimentary breakfast at Halekulani Bakery and Restaurant"
