Chalet Kilauea

Such a great find! Volcano is a beautiful area, and Chalet Kilauea made our stay a memorable pleasure. The bathroom is large and attractive, like showering in a cave. The kitchen was equipped with a mini fridge, utensils, plates/cups/glasses - everything we needed. The deco was unique. I would recommend.

HEADS UP as there is no alert with check in or posting anywhere about not drinking the tap water. It never occurred to me this was an issue so I used the water to brush my teeth. Later by happenstance I learned about catchment water in Hawaii and private systems not being tested. This is particularly important after heavy rain when contamination is higher and we arrived after record breaking rainfall. It seems an easy and essential piece of information to provide. Only when I inquired was I informed the tap water was filtered but not treated and “could make you sick.” Needless to say that was not what I expected to hear. That being said this unique funky place is charming and very close to Volcanoes National Park and the staff is very responsive

EZ to check into with a charming Asian garden. A bit quirky in design. Very quiet, even with other guests. We had the room on the far end of the building, next to the large wooden elephant, which felt very private. The room had a wall-mounted fireplace that took the chill off. Great unit for the price. Our room had some steps going from the large dining area into the very large bathroom with a double shower. I think every room is different. We brought our own water to drink, which I think is advisable in general in the Volcano area, as there is no county water system that I know of!

The King room is beautiful. Amazing windows overlooking the garden. We stayed two nights due to the proximity to the national park. It worked out great being a 5 minute drive. It was timed just right as the volcano was erupting and there was ash fall landing at the hotel. Such an unbelievable experience and a great hotel with close proximity to the park. Highly recommend if planning to stay in the Volcano/Hilo area.

Perfect for our stay at Volcano, thank you for upgrading us to a king room, it was comfortable, spacious and quiet. The contactless check in was easy, just pick up and envelope from the lobby with your room key and instructions. The help yourself towels, coffees and toiletries was a very nice touch. Overall we were delighted with our stay in Volcano and wouldnt hesitate to recommend.

Funky, quirky and cute -- we would definitely stay here again! Not a cookie cutter stay! But we couldn't find the hot tub we read about.
