Manoa Valley Inn

Our stay at the Manoa Valley in was very nice. The manager was extremely helpful the entire time we were there. The breakfast was very tasty, served out on the back decks, surrounded by the garden. The wind knocked out the power one evening, and we were offered a different room that might have been cooler, but we decided to stay in ours, and sleep on the massive window seat. It was convenient to have parking right in front of the building. We would love to stay at this location when we visit again!

This property was very cute but the pictures were a little out dated as our room had less furniture than what was pictured and the pool area could use some tidying up. We arrived and had no hot water and weren't told until the next day that there was a leak to the hot water heater. I understand that leaks happen but I wish we were told upon check in that there was a problem because we had to scramble the next day to find a new hotel at the last minute. Breakfast was very good though and the garden in the back yard was very cute. The parking space on property is also very small and luckily there was only 1 other car already parked, because there is really only enough space for 2, maybe 3 small cars.

Parking is cramped. New young couple just bought the place. Needs to be refreshed, but was pleasant enough. Limited breakfast choices. There is a pool, but it isn't useable. The grounds are getting over grown and the driveway/parking needs to be redone.

This property has so much potential. I believe a plaque outside said it was a historic home built in the early 1900's, and it has many unique architectural features inside and out. It also has many numerous native plants in the backyard that would make a beautiful secluded retreat in the middle of the city, along with a pool with several custom features, including a stone waterfall. Unfortunately, the property has been neglected and is just waiting to be brought back to it's former glory. Hopefully the owners will be able to find the funds and vision for a full renovation. If it was renovated I would consider visiting again.

It is under small renovation but awesome stay

AC was fabulous. Our room was really comfortable. loved the old house. Just needs a little love especially the outside grounds. Breakfast staff could be a bit more friendly but we made it work.

This is an old and historic property. It is still being renovated , but was comfortable and gave an experience of an old, historic plantation home. Manoa Valley is a good location. It was nice to sit out in the morning and look at the garden and listen to the birds.

So sad! This beauty needs serious maintenance. The rooms and amenities were nothing like advertised. I was looking forward to a swim, but the pool is not fit to enter.

Its a very unique stay, had no issues checking into my room. I arrived in the afternoon and just called the number on the door and someone showed me to my room. I was staying in the Dillingham and at first was a little worried about the door that leads to my what was supposed to be a private bathroom. The door was just locked from the inside, but not completely closed off you could open it ever so slightly which was worrying, but you can only do so much I guess. The room was warm, but after asking for the ac remote was comfortable. The view of the mountains from the bathroom is nice. I stayed for 10 days and was given new towels midway through the stay. The location was very convenient as I was visiting someone from the University there. I didn’t go to the breakfast while I was there the one time I attempted to go I went to the “kitchen” area and was told to leave and wait. It is an old building but my room was well kept other than some dust on the windows. There was also a hatch that led to the attic in the bathroom which I had to close and a budda? Statue behind a curtain next the the bathroom which I thought was weird, but I didn’t care. The backyard was very green and luscious it was very pretty. The pool, however, was not clean sadly, but I didn’t go to Hawaii to swim in a swimming pool, would have been nice though. There was also a cockroach that I had to kill in our trashcan. They have washers and dryers there so that was nice.

The 1919 historical home is a work in progress. Renovations are not totally complete, but the current condition is beautiful, quiet and quaint. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I'd stay there again. When the place is filled, more organized parking would be a bonus.

I’m sure this place was nice at some point but the conditions I walked onto were unacceptable. I felt like I was in a distant relative’s single wide bedroom

The convenient location is what I was looking for and that is all we got. We arrived after a 14 hour plane ride and the parking was only a few tight spots. We were led to our room up several flights of stairs with multiple bags so please be aware if you have any accessiblity issues. Then we enter a hot room, so we turn on the AC and head to pick up a few essentials and return to the AC that doesn’t work at 9:30pm. Tried to call the number that was provided with no answer. Opened the windows to dust covered all on the top of the windows. We were going to try to stick it out till we pulled back the bedsheets and the mattress was exposed. We immediately left and tried to call again with no answer and booked another hotel for the next couple nights. I am not one to leave a bad review because I feel like there are things that occur, but after 2 unreturned phone calls and an email that was never answered informing we would not be staying I didn’t know what to do. But trust me, they charged my credit card the final day. Also the pool looks nothing like the pictures, not sure you can swim in it at this time.

Lisa and the staff were very helpful and made every effort to make sure I had a great and enjoyable stay. Morning breakfast was nice, room clean and location was convenient. Would stay again.

Horrible experience. When we got there, no one was around. Called on the walkie-talkie. 5 minutes later a girl came running through one room to the next. Called for a young male to show us up to our room. Walked in the room absolutely dirty. Food on the floor. Used soap in the bathroom. Under one table food and dust so thick. Just so dirty and dusty. Our room smelled like urine also. Somebody's leftover hair product was left in bathroom on tub ledge. This was a horrible experience. We left immediately. Called Expedia for a full refund.

The facility is much more like renting a room rather than a hotel stay. The entire place smells like a litterbox. They have 10 cats! Since I am allergic to cats, I had to turn around and leave immediately. They are very strict with their no refunds policy, clearly because this happens often. The "hotel" is quaint and quirky, if you do not mind cats or the smell, you may have a nice time.

The Manoa Inn is unique and homey. The historic property is used as a bed and breakfast. It is very quiet and the room we were given had a wonderful big screened window that was lovely. Internet worked well; television was limited to a short list of channels; upkeep of the room and its bath were spotty. The property could be exquisite but needs much more investment of time and money. The breakfast was at best okay with mostly what seemed to be heated up preprepared entrees. Staff members were cordial and tried to be helpful. The grounds need work.

This place was incredible. Owner is incredibly nice, rooms are well cleaned and put together, plenty of windows so lots of airflow, fans in the rooms, ac, everything. Building is historic and old and it adds to the atmosphere. Made me feel instantly at home.

It is a rundown place. The breakfast is lousy, not enough mugs, coffee, bread. They skimp on the food. No soap in the washroom/shower.

This place was not at all like the photos or descriptions on expedia. On the plus side it was conveniently located for a visit to relatives nearby, and the room was large with a strong (and welcome) air conditioner; in all other respects it was disappointing or worse. Although we were there for 10 days, there was no room cleaning, trash removal, etc. When we asked for fresh linens and towels halfway through, this was left by our door 2 days later. In both cases, the bed linens were ancient and threadbare. There was no mirror in the bathroom. No shelf for soap, etc in the shower. The "breakfast" was abysmal: white bread (toast it yourself), with butter but no jam, a made to order scrambled egg (singular) or out of a mix pancake (singular) and/or a strip of paperthin bacon. Limited parking for up to four cars, at inadequate spaces that carried a constant risk of scrapes. A once lovely, now unkempt garden, and a leaf-strewn swimming pool. Most of the time no staff was visible. A once gorgeous property mostly gone to seed.

This a charming and beautiful old building. The individual rooms and common spaces are inviting, and sitting on the lanai with a view of Honolulu is wonderful! The owners provide a simple but filling breakfast and a coffee station and fridge near the sleeping quarters. All staff were welcoming and receptive to questions. If you’re looking for accommodation away from the Waikiki area, or near UH, this is a great choice. We would definitely stay here again!

Room was very spacious and comfortable. Loved the decor and breakfast. Need to complete the renovations for the whole house to make it a excellent experience.

Rooms are very small and basic. Everything was very clean. TV was small and service wasn't great. Close to airport. Was not a great value for price.

The inn is a historic home. It needs lots of work. The bed was comfortable, and the breakfast was good. There was lots of noise during the night that sounded like furniture being moved around over our heads. The staff is a trio of young adults who are working on the property and hosting…hopefully they will grow into the hosting role and manage to make the repairs needed to return the property to it’s former glory.

When we arrived it didn’t look like anything you would want to stay the night. Then it had a number to call for check in. Once we did that the lady Lisa stated there were no rooms available. She did pay for Uber to go to another property for our inconvenience

I booked a room that was not available when I arrived to check in. Then I was given a room that was not comfortable. The Expedia page of the room only has 2 photos of the bathroom. As a result, I talked to a staff shortly after and was told the booking will be cancelled. I found another hotel instead. After 5 days, I saw no refund. Then I called. A staff said I was not charged but to contact Expedia. Now, Expedia mentions they contacted staff and not able to issue refund. I am still waiting for issue to be resolved. The only alternative room was Dillingham. It seems there is 1 other review about the room. It has a 1/5 review.

We like this historical charming property with a nice garden and indoor/ outdoor sitting areas. The property is in Manoa residential area near the university. It feels like visiting relatives in Hawaii. It is not resort hotel type of experience. Lisa works so hard to get us ice water and figure out the AC for us. She is such a nice host. We will like to come back and suggest this place to others.

Lisa and the staff were very helpful and made every effort to make sure I had a great and enjoyable stay. Morning breakfast was nice, room clean and location was convenient. Would stay again.

This was a perfect place to land near campus with lovely grounds and interior to enjoy day and night. Yummy breakfast and friendly staff to boot! Can't wait to return :)

Simple check in, beautiful room, and walking distance to University of Hawaii.

Unique, and has its quirks. Really harkens back to what we used to think of as a B&B. Still, if you are okay not being right on the beach, or you have business with the Univ of Hawaii this is an option well worth consideration.

We loved staying in this historic BnB in Honolulu. The family that owns it are so kind and helpful but respectful of your privacy. It is a little oasis so different from touristy Waikiki, but yet close to all of the restaurants and beaches. The breakfast was delicious! and healthy! The area is very safe to walk around in to view the newer and other historic homes in the neighborhood. We would definitely stay there again when we need a little mini staycation!

A beautiful Victorian home, no modern amenities. Breakfast is limited. Location is breathtaking, with its nature sound effects of birds chirping, leaves rustling in the breeze.

Bottom line up front: Stay away from this place at all cost!!!!!!! The room has a strong smell, and so is the bed. Can’t comment on the purported made to order breakfast because I didn’t see any provided. Was told one of the staff on my first night that the building is under renovation so the kitchen doesn’t work, so they couldn’t even provide drinking water. I had to fill my water bottle from water fountain on UH campus before returning to this place. So I put up with this place for only because I needed to be near UH for work purposes. Orbitz should take down the three stars, this place doesn’t deserve even one star given what it currently is like. And the pictures are deceptive and do not accurately reflect its current conditions. This business should cease operation before it can provides what it advertises.

The whole hotel needs some maintenance and upgrades. There was too much junky stuff everywhere, including tacky Christmas decor and lights. Breakfast was lacking. Out of syrup for pancakes, no orange juice. Seen better days.

We absolutely loved staying here. This house is over 100 years old so go in expecting that. The rooms were clean and the staff was very friendly. My partner is 6’4 and had to duck a little going up the stairs but this was not an issue for him at all. Breakfast every day was fantastic (and it’s included!). Parking is a little tight but we found a spot every night no matter how late we got back. Plus it’s FREE which was hard to find when we were looking for places to stay. Plus there’s extra parking on the street if needed. Overall, our stay here was fantastic. We enjoyed the personal feel of staying at the place. We will definitely stay here when we visit Oahu again!
