Recently stayed at the Kauai Palms. What a cool, retro hotel. A great value, a good location for exploring Lihue and, clean and quiet. What made it especially special was the talk it's General Manager Ronald gave about the history and culture of Kauai. He does this for free, just to share Hawaiian culture with guests. Very interesting and worthwhile.

Great place to stay.

As local residents who visit Kauai often, the Kauai Palms is the perfect place! Situated in Lihue, it gives us great access to the things we need to do. One of the real nice touches is the exhibit that Ron has put together on Hawaiian history and culture! His knowledgable presentation of the artifacts approaches museum quality status! The cottages are for us like being back in old Kauai!! Whenever we visit, its always Kauai Palms for our family and friends!

Like being back in old Kauai!!

I stayed at Kauai Palms for 4 days as a part on my 2024 trip around the world. It is an upgraded old motel in the center of Lihue. The rooms are small and the bathrooms are smaller, but is is comfortable and clean. Check in and check out were seamless, there is a tiny museum in the lobby, and the location is central to a lot of Kauai destinations.

A Pleasant Stay in the Center of Town

Pulling up to this hotel, I already loved it.  It's not very big, but it's got this gorgeous garden in the front with Hawaiian plants and lots of places to sit outdoors.  If our trip had been a little longer, I would have spent some time in a comfy chair outside, reading.  The hotel, itself, is full of retro charm.  It is an older property, with some of the quirks of an older hotel, but I prefer family-owned places that have some history and sit in the community.  The rooms are comfortable, if not completely modernized, and the location is super convenient.  The staff is super attentive and the owner has created a sort of museum of Kauai in the lobby.  The hotel is also very budget-friendly, so we will definitely be back.

Cutest little retro hotel close to everything

This was one of the more affordable accommodations on Kauai at $200/night. Room was clean, beds comfortable, hot shower and central to locations we wanted to visit. Downside: it is older and small. The window air conditioner sounds like a plane taking off, but glad we had ac. I wore earplugs and ac noise was tolerable.

Acceptable Kauai accommodation for price

Ok, I booked this hotel and then noticed all of the negative reviews. I was a little nervous as I showed up and realized it's in a residential area. (Its not the Hilton or some fancy resort of that is what you are looking for) However, I have no idea why there are so many negative reviews! This place was great! I got a single room (rm 17) it had a gigantic king size bed, plenty of room, it was super clean, with a refrigerator and microwave. The staff was very friendly and provided great service. I had a flight issue and ended up needing to check in early. They did everything they could to accommodate and get me in as early as possible. I enjoyed my stay and will definitely be staying again in the future. And I highly recommend ignoring all the mediocre/negative reviews, and giving them a stay. Very easy access to the airport, food, coffee, gas and groceries. So, definitely check them out! Thanks a bunch, Kauai palms!

Ignore all the mediocre/negative reviews!

Small place in the downtown care of Lihue. Homeless around the corner of hotel. Rooms very small for the $200USD+ for the night. Free coffee in the morning. No rooms have a/c so in the evening and at night ,very hot

If you're looking for a resort, look elsewhere. My wife and I stayed here on a whim one night and it easily turned into a highlight of our week+ anniversary trip. Ron is a fantastic resource into the history and culture of the island! And Mango the cat is an incredibly friendly companion to all.

Exactly what we expected, and more

It's an extremely charming little hotel. Felt like a true escape from the bustle of city life, and didn't have the industrial feel you often get from big Sheratons/Hiltons/etc. Very helpful staff, excellent location (to the airport, beach, restaurants). Clean, decent-sized room, A/C worked like a charm. Will 100% stay here again if/when we come back to Kauai. 

Charming hotel, 100% would stay here again

Kauai Palms is a mom & pop hotel in Lihue.  We stayed for two nights at the end of our week long visit to Kauai.  Our room was clean and well maintained. The ac worked well and there was a small refrigerator.  We did not have much space but had no need to spread out as we basically just slept at the hotel.  The shower did have good water pressure and the towels were nice and soft. Check out and check in were easy and communication was very good. There’s a nice coffee truck around the corner and we heard good things about the Saimin restaurant and Kauai Brewing Company, both close by.
