It was very relaxing staying at Aaron's Cottages. The bed was comfortable for a good sleep. While the room hadbits own coffe maker there was a community kitchen that you could use to make youf own meals. Overall a good experience.

I love having access to a kitchen and laundry, plus proximity to the sweet little features on this side of Hilo. It would be nice to have a comfortable sitting chair in the room, and a better place to hang clothing.

I enjoyed my stay at Aaron’s Cottage. I especially loved having access to a kitchen so I didn’t need to eat out for every meal! It was clean, comfortable, simple, and cute. I would stay here again.

Excellent stay. I did have trouble with the code to the door that was left for me. But the Owner/Mgr. took care of that within minutes. If anything was negative was that dang rooster!!! Woke me up every day between 430-630Am. (but I did notice that the whole state has wild roosters, and chickens running around, so not the fault of Aarons Cottage's). Room was great, very quiet (only 5 of 10 rooms), clean, room looked just like the photos minus the floor fan. It had everything, I had everything I needed, and it was as advertised! Great location close to everything, yet far enough from the Hussle and Bussle. Price was great, and I would stay here again.

I love the ease of checking in to our unit. This is our third time here and we have always been pleasantly impressed with our accommodations. Simple and comfortable.

Price was lower, but you get what you pay for. Bathroom faucet barely gave water & there were bugs in the room, but otherwise clean. Manager was responsive & apologetic & promised to fix things when we left. However, nice location with Secret Beach walkable at the end of the street! Rowdy rooster comes free of charge, so bring your background noise app.

We booked a 2-bed but arrived to a 1 bed so we had to pay the extra (with a bit of a discount for the mixup--Hotel still probably would have been a more affordable option if i had known but it was non refundable). Toilet didn’t work unless we manually pushed the valve to refill the tank each time. But we did have access to a washer and dryer, which was nice. Loved that the beach was in walking distance and the deck at the end of the night was lovely.

For budget friendly trip it worked. Location in Hilo good for beach goers. Shared kitchen worked, room could be updated but worked for three people

Inside the college was a small cable that’s OK but gave me too hard chairs that are folding up chairs very uncomfortable. Do you have Roku TV so I had to use my cell phone to watch movies?

Love Aaron’s! Perfect stay for a solo traveling.

Not new but maintain well, easy to parking and free without disturbing

Check in was seamless. There's a door lock and a key code. Nevertheless, the backdoor is a sliding glassdoor and remains unlocked. Owner, Robert is responsive and a property manager, Jumo lives on the property, who's is also friendly. Guests can use laundry. Property has orange and lemon trees and the owner is generous for you to taste some fresh fruits. There's a community kitchen wherein travelers leave stuff that you can use, if not expired. You get some coffee bags, no creamers and no sugar even after requests. Towels aren't replaced and room isn't cleaned everyday but it wasn't an issue for me. There's no cabinet in the bathroom. Plenty of parking. Quiet and safe location close to the Hilo beaches. You'll see lizards and roaches but it's part of the nature, especially in older buildings. Room itself is spacious and comfortable although you may feel a bit cold since the windows don't fully close. Volcano National Park is only 45 minutes drive away. You may probably find Airbnb entire apartments in this price range though, if you plan ahead. This cottage though has a nice rustic feel and is only 10 minutes drive away from the Hilo airport. I initially booked for two nights and extended by another two nights since I could drive around most of the big island from here.

Easy check in

Sadly, best of the three hotels I stayed at. Avoid Wild Ginger at all costs! This was just a a room. Biggest issue was the common kitchen area attached to the room. Noisy early. Less airport noise here. Cool cove down the street. No real issues.

Very sweet cottage. The bed was so comfortable with pretty quilts and a ceiling fan. I got in late, but it was so easy to use the electronic lock on the door. Fruit tree in the front. I didn't use the communal kitchen but I was glad it was there. Extra towels in a basket, coffee and coffee maker. Love the two bottles of water in the fridge.

Great cottage as a home base for Big Island touring. Close to airport and services like gas and grocery (walmart) and Kens Pancake House. Did not have a washrag so had to buy one but no big deal. Comfy bed mattresses in queen double #8. Good pillows. Has provided coffee maker and soap provided in shower with pumps. Communal Kitchenette in separate structure with all amenities. Could use some fresh paint from bumps and nicks on corners and trim but not bad; just regular use. AC blows could to dehumidify if needed. Tree peepers/frogs are quite present but I enjoyed their sound from dusk until dawn. Ample parking and easy to get in and out. Walls are a little thin so please be conscious of neighbours during quiet hours. No problems with our stay. If you want a Hilo stay without big crowds, Aarons Cottage fits the bill. Its all you without the hassle of people and crowds at a hotel.

It was nice to use for 4 people

There were 2 walkable beaches and it is located close to the airport. The community kitchen was convenient. The walls are a bit thin so you can hear neighbors. The staff was helpful.

The manager was very helpful. He had fresh fruit for us very day. Oranges, limes and tangerines. The room and kitchen was very clean. We had to use the washer and dryer at a different unit but it was just across the driveways

Nice and accommodating!

Clean room with community kitchen and washer and dryer. Great location near airport and Hilo.

Love the greens and natures. Did not like that too many roaches in the kitchen.

We stayed in cottage number 4 and it was just what we needed. There were 3 of us, and there was plenty of room, a nice large bathroom, and air conditioning which we really appreciated on some days. The kitchen is small but we didn’t cook, only made coffee. The grounds are pretty, and the walk to the beach is short and the beach and offshore rocks are very pretty. Covered parking was available, and it was a nice quiet place.

Very nice

Cute and comfortable in a place close to so many fantastic beach parks! And Hilo Farmer's Market, restaurants and shops a short drive away. Jomo, the property manager, is very helpful and accommodating, he is doing a great job there. I enjoyed my stay in this beautiful place.

It was great but couldn’t figure out the tv situation

It was very nice to be in a Cottage. I barely used the ac because there was a nice cross draft. It is very close to a nice beach.

We often stay at Aarons when in Hilo. The grounds around the property could use some up keep. It seems to have gone down hill in the last year. But the space is perfect, location is great. Rob and Jomo are fabulous!

A very cute cottage. Easy to go to downtown and vocational park.

Property was perfect for our needs. Bed, AC, amd shower. Easy cooking area for reheating our takeout. But facility was good amd owner easy to communicate with

Very comfortable and beautiful location, common kitchen was very convenient. Secluded beach with beautiful views was a plus. Great alternative to staying at big, more expensive hotels. Would definitely consider staying again.

I love how unique it is and how quiet yet easy to find. It’s near a beach that you can walk to, very home like atmosphere. I will definitely be planning another stay.
