The atmosphere of the place, a old Victorian house, is amazing - nothing like anything I have ever been to. The new owners are still settling and there might forget something here and there —however they compensate that by being extremely kind and flexible. For instance, we could have our breakfast 45 min earlier than the schedulled time throughout the week, and I could check out at 6PM the last day, since the new guests would only arrive the day after! The breakfast included pancakes, scrambled eggs, fruit, toasts and yogurt.

Sometimes they forgot to replace the towels or put new toilet paper in the room —however they showed me where they kept those things, so I just engaged in a bit of self-service, which was really handy when I needed two towels a day if I planned to go swimming!

Hidden gem in Manoa Valley with an incredible view across the skyline of Waikiki Beach. Very charming flair. The rooms are mostly clean and the beds are comfortable. Here and there some dust but it somehow fits to the property.

It feels like the staff is not so much experienced in the hospitality business. They were all very nice but there is some room for improvement. For example, they make really delicious pancakes (fresh every day!) and then forget to put the syrup on the bar. You'll get it if you ask, of course.

The people managing the inn are really friendly and the chef prepares a great breakfast. The building is an old house with lots of charm and our room had a lot of character while also being very clean and having all the comforts. The backyard is gorgeous as well as the patio where you can have breakfat. Only the last day, we found out that there were beach chairs and towels available forthe guests for free. Great to visit Oahu by car: free parking, quiet neighborhood but still close to the highway.

Minor dislikes: The breakfast was really tasty but not well organized (e.g., there were no plates for the buffet, the coffee machine ran out of water, I could not find napkins). Since we enjoyed leaving early in the morning (around 7:00), we would have appreciated an earlier breakfast or something to go. But I understand that this would be an extra in almost every hotel.

Beautiful old wooden-built hotel, still being restored to former glory, with lovely olde worlde rooms, more a bed & breakfast, set in the University neighborhood away from city hustle. It was perfect for a quiet overnight stay, especially for older couples. Nice setting, gardens.

Maybe a little fridge in the room would help , and cleaner verandah furniture. You should be aware it's not a modern place, but that's the charm. It's taxi or bus to Waikiki ., a good 15-20 mins due to traffic and routing. The pool is being renovated

The house is classic, so staying in that type of place is a sharp contrast to the high-rises in Waikiki. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We spent two nights and enjoyed the stay.

The breakfast was basic. Eggs, bacon/sausage/ham and/or pancakes, some fruit and yogurt. For those of us that have done many B&Bs over the years, the breakfast is the benchmark for a rating, and this one should be considered a work in progress.

Lisa and her sons took over ownership recently and are still working to bring it up to their standards. Lisa is determined and hardworking so we're convinced she will reach that goal. Anything we needed, Lisa or her sons provided. They were accessible whenever we needed them. The house has an interesting history as does the decor.

Initially, we had a few issues with the room assigned to us but then Lisa found an excellent solution for us that we were happy with.

Wonderful birding on the grounds. The home-cooked pancake breakfast with bacon were excellent! All contacts with staff were great! We loved the history of the place. It is a wonderful property! Location could not have been better! Note that previous reviews about too many cats were from previous management. We hope the renovation and restoration efforts will be successful!

I had a very good stay. Good location. Easy to take the bus to Waikiki. Very spacious room!

I had no problem with the pool not being operational and there may be locations where the photos are no longer current but I found it unacceptable that this being sent after booking when you can no longer cancel free of charge. So if you do book for the pool, don't do it.

Adorable!! I loved this place. It was like staying at a friend’s house. My son and I spent hours in the back yard bird watching and reptile watching. Beautiful view of downtown Honolulu. Great old house. I loved our four poster bed, just like at Grandma’s house.

Nothing. There was no towels in my room, but they were sweet about that and brought me some as soon as I brought it to their attention.

The workers were amazing. They were really nice and helpful. It was definitely such a great vibe. The food was great and the place itself was beautiful if you like an antique look. We enjoyed our stay. It was our first time ever booking a room like this and it was honestly great. I would definitely book with them again.
