  DON'T BE SURPRISED!

  25 Sept 2024

  This Inn has wonderful potential . . . great location - quiet neighborhood near the University, close to freeway. The managers of the inn are doing their best and are sincere about their job and caring for each guest. However, the pictures are very deceiving . . . the inn is very old as it should be as it is an historical property. But, it needs quite a few updates to be anywhere near the photos presented! There is even a letter stating that when you arrive in your room. I will admit, the beds are comfortable and TV works fine. Breakfast was just adequate as they could do a lot more with selection, presentation and preparation. Some fresh Hawaiian fruit should be offered at the very least.

  A beautiful historic building with all the quirkiness that old buildings bring!

  11 Sept 2024

  If you need everything to be pristine & new do t go here …BUT… if you love historic architecture with all the quirky charm and character that old buildings bring, you may well fall in love with Manoa Valley Inn. It is being restored and the room pictures and names don’t necessarily match up but it is a work in progress! The staff were so kind and helpful and we cannot wait to go back. Next time I want to stay longer!I absolutely LOVED my time here!

  Home away from home

  31 Aug 2024

  I enjoyed this hidden gem located just two miles away from busy tourist packed Waikiki. The house is a real Victorian mansion and my room was very cute. Lisa, the owner, is very friendly, welcoming and caring. Highly recommend for those seeking an authentic experience, quietness and romantic.

  Once lovely place gone to seed.

  02 Oct 2023

  This place was not at all like the photos or descriptions on Trip Advisor. 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. Wallpaper was torn in several places, so we could see through the plaster to the old wood slats. TV was tiny (maybe 14" or 15" diagonal) and too far from the bed (or any chair) to watch. Furniture was mismatched and useless. No bedside table or reading lights. 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. The replacement topsheet (as threadbare as the first, was the wrong size. 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) was lousy (how hard is it to scramble an egg?) and a strip of paperthin, cheap 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. Sadly, this is a once gorgeous property mostly gone to seed.

  Feels Like Home.

  17 Sept 2023

  Was a little disappointed when we arrived, place didn't have the same look as before. The Inn has had a rough year but now has new owners and Lisa and her boys are working hard to get the old girl back in style. We highly recommend Manoa Valley Inn if you are looking for a quiet place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Honolulu and Waikiki. Just remember this is not a "Resort" its a Bed and Breakfast. Hope to stay again soon.
