We had a last minute flight change and were able to stay in this, the first ever hotel in all of Hawaii. The owner gave us a personal walk through its rich history after a good night’s rest. It’s not the nicest of hotels, but what it lacks, it more than makes up for it in their service and hospitality. Would definitely stay again ◡̈

Great place to stay for just my wife and I. I don’t think I would bring my family back to this place for the slight lack of accommodations compared to other places on the island. That being said, it was a great place to stay. Very dated, but centrally located and the staff were very helpful and kind.

The Kauai Inn is both charming and elegant. I have now stayed here twice and I love it. The people are kind and gracious; the included breakfast is wonderful; and the atmosphere and location of the inn is stunning. I could sit all day just watching the amazing mountains behind the inn or watching the massive clouds move across the sky. So much beauty here and no hustle/bustle. This is a simple, clean, and special place where one can relax and take in the beauty of the location.

The staff is very nice! Taryn checked us in and we chatted with Leonard doing the garden work. Super nice folks work here but I didn’t get names.. love the cats & chickens too. Wish there were shades on the door windows because it was too bright for us. The A/C worked well but was kind of loud..our only suggestions - shades for the door windows & not so noisy A/C if possible.

The staff were helpful and friendly. It is possible to use their umbrella, beach chairs, towels and flip flops. The breakfast was ordinary. Wish they had some eggs or protein options. The bed was comfortable but the the room had a loud air conditioner. It is an old hotel that was not upgraded . Housekeeping was not consistent they skipped some days. The place has potential but needs upgrading

Loved this hotel! If we ever come back to this island, we will stay at this hotel no doubt! Very clean, cool temp rooms, and friendly staff and can't forget about the sweet cats that chauffeured us around every time we left our room. Loved the atmosphere, the island music, live performers, movie under the stars, and access to borrow everything you need for a beach day. Towels, umbrella, snorkel gear, chairs, coolers, beach toys, boogie boards. Breakfast is more of a grab and go menu (bagels, muffins, cereal, fresh fruits) but still nice to have. Loved the location and enjoyed the more private drive through a jungle to get to the hotel.

The Best Surprise Stay!

I booked the Kauai Inn based on past very positive reviews. Our stay was at the end of a trip that included both staying with local friends and a week at a posh resort. Our expectations were not high...we just thought it would be a good, clean place to stay our last few days in Kauai...and that we would just sleep there and then have our adventures. Little did we know how incredibly DELIGHTED we would be! The staff was amazing - like sweet family! Over and above anything we could have imagined. Our stay included a live music night and an outdoor movie night. We loved every minute of our stay and will rebook next time we come to Kauai!
