The Queen’s Loft was a quaint little place that offered way more than we expected. Conveniently located in downtown Hilo close proximity to shops, restaurants, laundromat and grocery store. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a convenient place to crash while visiting the island hotspots.

Host was very helpful and quick to respond anytime we messaged her. The property location is indeed very central to Hilo. The air conditioning cooled the unit off too. The beds were comfortable too.Kitchen and 3 total sinks were convenient. Surprisingly quiet for being central.

What a cute spot. Old Hawaii style with lots of happy colors. Nice and clean. Well equipped kitchen area for such a tiny place. Great value. And the Hidden Nene speakeasy across the street was a great surprise hangout.

It's a little old apartment that's been cleverly well-appointed for guests, with several huge mirrors adding to a sense of spaciousness. The kitchen is small but has everything you need to cook a simple meal: a one-burner hotplate, a microwave, some kind of big toaster oven, a blender, utensils, big fridge and freezer.... With the Hilo farmer's market, the KTA supermarket and a natural food store all a one-minute walk away, we were inspired to do some cooking even though there are so many good restaurants within easy walking distance too. Everything worked. The host was very responsive. This was our second stay here and we hope to return to this, our Hilo home!

We had an enjoyable stay with all amenities available that we needed. We don’t end up using the kitchen because those so many places within a short walking distance to find want you wanted to eat. It’s right around the corner from the market too. We loved the speakeasy across the street. Our host was very responsive and made it easy for us in every way.

Colorful! Colorful! Colorful!This is a FANTASTIC little hidden gem right in the heart of Hilo-town. It has perfect vibe for people like us who cringe at the standard resort hotel experience. The owner is also the designer of the gorgeous Rainbow Jo clothing line, and brings her sense of creativity and fun into the rental. The brightly painted walls made it feel like I was in someone’s art project.It’s quirky with an unusual layout, but everything needed for comfort and safety. It’s simple but with little surprises here and there. The kitchen was surprisingly well appointed with all the appliances you might need. Not fancy, but functional and clean!

Short but good stay

Hilo is a small town, but staying here puts you right in the heart of their walkable downtown. It’s very basic accommodations, but I found the apartment to be clean and suitable for my needs.

A unique property in a great location

We only needed beds for one night and this worked out well for us. Communication with the owner was excellent. The location was perfect. We arrived after most business on the street were closed, so parking was easy to find. We left before sunrise to get an early start on our sightseeing and drive back to Kona.
