Location is great but customer service is not met … we tried to call in advance and want find out some detail or whether we could come in a bit early and no response.
Hubby complained about the strong odor when we walk in and air conditioner is noisy so we can hardly sleep
Good price and clean. Disappointed that there was no place to sit and work on my computer. No desk or table to sit at and work. Note that this cottage is right under the flight path of and right next to the Hilo airport. So if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs.
My wife and I wanted to take a break from Oahu and booked Aaron’s Cottage for 2 nights. It was perfect being only a few miles from the airport, near Hilo town, nice beaches a short walk up the road. We booked cottage #5 and it was the best. Everything was clean and fresh!
Definitely staying there the next time we come back.
What a cute cottage in the heart of hilo bay. Super clean, well taken care of and private. I never heard my neighbors talking or tv on. Only draw back was the check in process. I booked this stay last min coming from kona and it took me about 30 min to figure out that there was no front desk. You get a text or email with instructions on how to enter the unit. Housekeeping never came to my room to replace my towels even when i texted them that i needed towels. So i just grabbed towels myself from the laundry facility behind my cottage. If u need to do laundry you can but it cost $5 a load. Other than that the shower toilet and sink was all in one room with no separation. If you gotta do #2 the whole room will smell like it. I recommend getting those Downey small room air freshners if u plan on staying more than 1 night cause it gets rid of all smells.
Aaron's Cottage was a great place to stay. It's near the Hilo Bay shore and practically next door to a beautiful public beach park. The owner worked with me on a self check-in so that I could arrive at 11:30 pm. The in-room fridge was nice to have and was supplemented by a nearby communal kitchen with a larger fridge, cooktop, microwave, and toaster. The on-site trees coupled with the ocean breeze kept the room comfortable, but there was a small air conditioner for warmer times of the day. Aaron's Cottage is on a quiet dead end street but still within minutes of downtown amenities. The wifi is very good. My room had a nice Roku television, but why go to Hawaii to watch TV? Skip the glitz and choose simpler amenities with a relaxing atmosphere.
Aaron’s cottage was a great place to stay. Granted we only stayed one night, but it was clean, quiet, convenient and comfy (however the pillows were extremely thin). For someone like me that has neck issues it could’ve been a problem (manager: May want to check the pillows and replace them). However I travel with my own pillow bc I expect these types of things so it was no biggie for me. Otherwise…GREAT stay!
I stayed at Aaron's cottage for two nights and it was a great experience. The cottage was cozy, equipped with all the amenities you could need. It had AC, fans, hot water, a comfortable bed, a kitchenette and full bathroom. The place is easy to find and there is a nice beach within walking distance. The place is ideal for staying in the Hilo area or for day trips to Volcanoes National Park, or drive to the top of Mauna Kea (4WD required). Several great local restaurants as well as supermarkets around the area.
The place is old and needs some attention. Walls are thin you hear everything from the sneeze of your neighbours and relentless barage of birds and airplanes. If you have auditory sensitivity this definitely is not a place to sleep.
Otherwise central to some great snorkelling spots close to the waterfalls and downtown Hilo.
