Banyan View FAQs
What does the Banyan View room actually look out on?
True to its name, this room’s windows take in the leafy, historic scenery of Banyan Drive, the tree-lined loop road the hotel sits on, rather than a direct ocean view. It’s a green, garden-style outlook over the grounds and namesake banyan trees near Hilo Hawaiian Hotel.
How are the beds configured and how many guests can the room sleep?
The Banyan View room can be booked with one king bed, or two double beds, or two queen beds, and comfortably sleeps up to five guests. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge if needed.
Is this room a good fit for working or spending time indoors?
Yes — it’s set up with a desk and laptop-friendly workspace, an in-room phone with free local calls, and free WiFi at 25+ Mbps, making it easy to get work done or stay connected between excursions.
How does the Banyan View room compare with other categories at the hotel?
It offers the hotel’s core comforts — air conditioning, a 32-inch flat-panel TV, coffee/tea maker, and a shower/tub bathroom — at a garden-facing outlook. Guests wanting a direct ocean or bay view would look toward a higher, view-oriented category, while the Banyan View keeps things simple and comfortable.
What's included for guests staying in this room category?
On top of the room’s own amenities, a mandatory daily resort fee adds a complimentary welcome cocktail, a $10 food and beverage credit at check-in, use of the fitness center, pool towels, a filtered water refill station, an in-room coffee/tea packet, and WiFi and local calls.
How far is the room from the pool and the beach?
The hotel’s oceanfront freshwater pool and sundeck are open daily from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm and are a short walk from guest rooms. The beach directly in front of the hotel isn’t recommended for swimming due to lava rocks, but Reed’s Bay, a swimmable beach, is only about 0.15 miles away.
Is the Banyan View room suitable for families or longer stays?
Yes — sleeping up to five guests across flexible bed configurations, plus the option of a rollaway bed, makes it workable for families. Children 17 and under stay free using existing bedding, and the room’s fridge and coffee/tea maker add convenience for longer visits.
What dining options are close to this room?
Guests can head down to the lobby-level Bull Shed Restaurant for steak, seafood, and prime rib, or the Wai’oli Lounge for shared plates, cocktails, and live music in the afternoons and evenings — both on-site at the hotel.
Is the hotel's location good for exploring Hilo?
Very much so — the hotel sits on Banyan Drive next to Liliʻuokalani Gardens and within walking distance of Coconut Island, with Hilo’s Rainbow Falls just a short drive away, making it an easy base for sightseeing.
What should guests know about check-in and the overall atmosphere?
Standard check-in is after 3:00 pm and check-out before noon. The hotel is entirely non-smoking outside of designated balcony areas, and while the lobby lounge can be lively with live music in the late afternoon, guest floors are generally quiet and relaxed.
