Manoa Valley Inn

Authentique et agréable. Bien situé

May 05, 2013

Nice and peaceful place to stay just near the center of Honolulu and the main H1 Hwy. You need to know that this is an old Victorian house so if you are looking for modern and new bathroom then choose a hotel in Waikiki, but if you prefer something more authentic far from the discos and the noise of the town by night this is the place to go. The people of this B&B are very nice and helpful. Breakfast is very good with natural fresh fruits. We liked it very much and if we go back to Honolulu we will certainly choose it again.

A Great Find!

We stayed 4 nights at the Manoa Valley Inn in the Baldwin Room on the second floor (Cooke & Moore have views of the Waikiki skyline) in late April and absolutely loved it. It is a quaint, quiet and secluded inn that is a great escape from the Honolulu/Waikiki crowds. For the price and location, you cannot find a better deal on Oahu. My husband was concerned that there was no a/c but even though we had a window unit, we did not need it. We slept with the windows open and had a great night's sleep each night. The breakfast included hot and cold breakfast foods and drinks. The owners/staff are all friendly and totally respected our privacy but yet made us feel so welcome. We moved to a hotel on Waikiki Beach our last 2 nights and immediately longed for the peace and serenity of Manoa Valley Inn.

Excellent B&B, with beautiful gardens and fabulous caretakers!

We really enjoyed our stay at Manoa Valley Inn. The house is a great old colonial style building, with many period details. The garden in the back is beautiful - with a nice view of Honolulu. The caretakers are very friendly and attentive. The breakfast spread is varied, healthy, and delicious! A great place to stay if you want to get away from the Waikiki madness. Thank you!

A Gem of a place!

Manoa Valley Inn is a great place to stay! My husband and I enjoyed our first visit to Hawaii at the B&B and will definitely return in the future. Close to Waikiki without all the hustle and bustle. Love the salt water pool as well. The yard is beautiful might I add. It was really a great first time experience!

Lovely place

My wife and I as well as children (sometimes) have vacationed in Honolulu about thirty times over twenty years. We have sampled many hotels and another B&B. For a long time, we wanted to stay in Manoa Valley for its lush growth and lay back lifestyle as compared to Waikiki and other places. We were very happy to find MVI. We stayed in the Master suit. The historical mansion was well kept with excellent attention to detail. Within its confines it was easy to travel back in time and reminisce about the old Hawaii, its people, its joys and hardships. Especially, when reading a book by Jack London or Mark Twain. The grounds are beautifully landscaped. The plants and flowers are so lush and expressive they almost talk to you. We didn't get to use all the place had to offer- like the swimming pool or the outdoor bed by the pool draped from mosquitos by a net canopy. I took about thirty pictures of the place, its flowers and trees, the artwork inside and outside, the view toward the Honolulu skyscrapers. The breakfasts were superb. Lots of fruit, breads and brakfast fries. We frequently skipped lunch after having a good helping of brakfast. The staff was always curteous and helpful. A very nice neighborhood. An easy drive to major or minor shopping centers as well as Waikiki, Kuhio, San Souci and a la moana beaches. Paradise Park is near, up the moutain. Next time, we hope to stay for a couple of weeks. Honolulu has so much and MVI is a great place to unwind.!

Innkeeper Response
Aloha, Thank you all for staying with us! Spring is busting out with an amazing growth of new plants, vegetables and flowers, adorning our home and yours away from home. Our garden is producing vegetables and organic eggs come in from our youngest son’s farm in Waimanalo on the other side of the island. Fifteen months as an innkeeper and we thank all our guests for staying with us, smiling at the occasional quirk but sharing the aloha spirit. We are blessed to have guests from around the world who blend together over breakfast on the patio or allow honeymooners their privacy! We look forward to a beautiful spring and summer. Wherever I turn, even after 35 years here, I still find joy, surprises and happiness in the beauty of Hawaii, its oceans, greenery and people. Mahalo and Thanks. Mark Glen Ps Turning 60 in a few weeks and maybe seeing life a little different for the beginning of the next 40 years or so....expecting to live fully and enjoy Hawaii.

This 1919 victorian mansion is comfortable and beautifully decorated. The floral gardens surround the house. The breakfast is plentiful with hawaiian foods. T he staff

Lovely location

Though the dogs were a bit quirky, the host was welcoming and made great restaurant recommendations. The views of Honolulu and Diamond Head from the back lanai were lovely. The breakfast food was plentiful and well prepared. We enjoyed being in the University area and within walking distance of excellent restaurants. The bedroom was large and the bed comfortable. We would certainly return.

Beautiful Manoa experience

February 28, 2013

Manoa Valley Inn is a wonderful historic home. From the inviting front porch to the back lanai where a delicious hot breakfast is served, (complete with fresh island fruits) to the quaint rooms which catch the soft Manoa breezes, everything about this inn is warm and welcoming. The bed was very comfy and the towels big, soft, and fluffy. Everything was clean and tidy. Would definitely stay here again.
