a short stay in paradise

10.0

when we arrived at kauai inn it felt as if we had landed in paradise. the grounds are set in the backdrop of hills and everything has a feeling of calm (the aloha feeling). our room was functional with large beds (king size ) and basically had all you need including a microwave and a fridge to heat prepare and store food. after experiencing lots of places where you had to pay for everything extra it was a pleasure to stay somewhere where the additional bits and pieces (24 hour coffee and water, beach bits and pieces, chairs , umberellas, snorkelling stuff, parking and a continental breakfast) were all included. chris and phillip were great hosts and added to the familiar aloha feeling. we really enjoyed our stay and have no reservations recommending the inn to others looking for an unpretentious aloha feeling. mahola

Amazing stay at Kauai Inn

10.0

We loved our stay at Kauai Inn, absolutely recommend it to all! Elton and all the other staff were so friendly, kind and welcoming, they took such good care of our needs especially our toddler. They lend us all beach supplies including pool toys so we didn’t have to carry everything while we were traveling for our vacation here….less luggage to pack. We enjoyed our stay here and would love to revisit. Thank you Kauai Inn for such a great experience.

Wonderful Hotel!!!

10.0

The staff and atmosphere were unbelievably pleasant. I was so pleased with the unique and authentic Hawaiian experience. This was a very special trip for my girlfriend and I. I proposed in our room at the Kauai Inn with the help of Elton who works the front desk. I couldn't have made it as romantic and special without his help. I gave him decorations for the the room and by the time we got back from dinner there were candles and rose petals all over our room and bed with complimentary champagne. He helped me make my girlfriend feel so special. I will forever be grateful to the staff for their care . She said yes!! We will be spending our anniversary every year at the Kauai Inn. The room has a beautiful view and big bathtub. The peacocks and chickens entertained me the entire time. I would recommend this hotel to any visiting the island 🏝 😀

No peaceful nights, a meager breakfast, no place to store your belongings, loud roosters — choose a different hotel

2.0

The air conditioners are so loud that even if yours is turned off at night, the units in the neighboring rooms create an eerily loud background noise. And if that doesn’t bother you, then perhaps the countless free-roaming roosters on Kauai will. They’re a real nuisance and crow nonstop from 3 a.m. until 9 p.m. This has nothing to do with the rustic charm one might expect. Breakfast is served outdoors (rain or shine). The staff is constantly scrambling to keep up with the guests. Something is always running out, and due to the limited space, there’s a constant line. Plus, you can’t leave your food unattended because the chickens immediately jump all over the tables. The hotel has so much potential (location, pool, evening program, free beach towels and chairs available for rent), but they’re not making the most of it. What a shame! Cleanliness was only average, and there were absolutely no hooks on the wall to hang anything, no storage options, and no armchair or chair. The front desk had no idea what a separate luggage rack was and couldn’t provide one even when asked. So one suitcase ended up on the cabinet in front of the TV, and we put the second one on the ironing board. You don’t want to put your stuff on the floor. Especially since cockroaches have already been spotted in other reviews. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this hotel at all. Anyone who wants to sleep and eat in peace needs to find another place to stay immediately.
