Convenient for what we needed

The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. One thing to be aware of is that there’s a public park behind the property where some people seem to be living, using the bathroom as wash house. It didn’t directly affect my stay, but it might be something to consider depending on your comfort

Stayed here for 7 nights for business and pleasure. We really enjoyed the atmosphere at the hotel and setting. Got a really great Kauai experience. The staff was really nice and helpful and we loved all the animals on the property. Cats, chickens, and peacocks made it fun. We are animal lovers and got attached to a few of the cats and hard to leave them behind. We hope other people will ebjoy them and feed them too.

The property is in a beautiful location. It is the oldest inn in Kauai and the rooms are a little dated but we did not go to Hawaii to stay in our room. Staff was great. The chickens and cats are friendly and interesting to watch. Home grown bananas are good

The property was very peaceful. I happened to stay during 'movie night', meaning that they showed an outdoor movie on the lawn (50 First Dates). Easy continental breakfast with coffee and tea options. Very comfortable room. Amazing and genuine staff. I'll go here again on my next visit for sure.
The kitties here are friendly and sociable.
Views were gorgeous.
Room was spacious and cozy.

My wife and I honeymooned at the Kauai Inn and loved our stay. The landscaping and views of the mountain (and stars at night) were amazing, and it was so nice to wake up in paradise. The cats and peacocks wandering the grounds were fun, but the roosters can be annoying for light sleepers so remember to pack earplugs. The staff were super nice and made sure our honeymoon was magical, even giving us a complimentary bottle of champagne to celebrate! The buildings do show some age, but that is to be expected for a 130 year old inn. Overall the rustic setting and wonderful landscape really helped us get into the island vibe though, and we look forward to coming back for an anniversary celebration.
a rainbow on our first morning!
lots of furry feline friends
lots of wildlife on our first morning, very different than the mainland!
great view from our room's patio

Great Stay!

The Kauai Inn was such a pleasant surprise! The accommodations are nice but the greatest experience was the staff. Upon checking in, we were offered pizza that was ordered for the staff. The receptionist then offered us a bottle of wine to be delivered to our room! I cannot exaggerate the hospitality that was shown by the entire staff at the hotel. They provided live music on Friday night and a movie on Saturday. They also provide music on the grounds, so when you're having continental breakfast (provided) or lounging at the pool, you can hear soothing Hawaiian music. This is a hotel we will go back to because of the staff. Such a nice and friendly team!

This was a last minute reservation due to a flight cancellation. We were so happy they had a room for us.The bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The bathroom was spotless and the shower was nice and hot with great water pressure. We enjoyed the complimentary breakfast. It's a very quaint place. I enjoyed the historical scrapbook in the office.
