    A great spot and central location as base to explore Moloka'i.

    There were too many wild chickens roaming about and cockadoodledooing early in the morning, but it's Hawai'i!

    This location provided a lovely view of the sea and the island across the way. The pool is small. but nice. There is a decent restaurant on the premises with dinner available but no breakfast. The restaurant provided a delightful female singer with a guitar accompanist. The room and linens were clean, the pillows and mattress were comfortable, and there was a working ceiling fan, microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. The television and wifi were functional and the water was hot.

    The Best Place to Stay on Molokai
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Deluxe Ocean View King
    • Stayed 1 night

    My room, while very clean, did have a strange smell. I couldn't place it but it was mothball-like. And the walls are a bit thin which wouldn't have been a big deal except for the noisy kids in the room next door. My room was also by the pool and there was a lot of activity at the pool until late (mostly from the kids in the room next door). None of that is the hotel's fault but it would be nice if the pool closed at say, 9pm, so the property is quieter at night. You don't go to Molokai for screaming kids at the pool (you go to Maui for that), you go to Molokai for peace and quiet. All in all, if you're spending a night or longer on Molokai, this is the best hotel to book and I would definitely stay here again.

    The staff was terrific, very helpful and friendly. The room was comfortable and well-equipped and the water view was great. The grounds of this hotel are lovely, it's a little tropical paradise on Molokai. The sunset views were amazing and the restaurant was convenient and very good. When it comes to hotels on Molokai, the options are very limited so the Hotel Molokai is definitely the best choice.

    The original design of the room has natural ventilation---BUT when the wind is down--it is not enough to keep room cool--the air conditioner unit in our room was pretty loud--but it needed to be on. The bed was pretty high off the ground--it was comfortable but it if you fell out of it it was pretty far.

    The staff --all were good problem solvers--and any question/any issue--they worked with me to resolve. And they never presented "it is not their job" attitude. The hotel is located right on the water with a magnificent view. The facility is dated BUT is pretty well maintained.

    If you don't go for a condo, this is certainly the best place to stay on Moloka'i.

    The pool is quite small, but then there are excellent beaches all over Moloka'i.

    We had an ocean front room and we can recommend this very much. It gives you an ocean feel day and night. It has a terrace facing the ocean, great to have breakfast or an evening drink. The restaurant too has plenty of seating close to the waves. It has nice fresh food and drinks.

    Its about the stay on this beautiful Island, for that I would come back.

    • Stayed 5 nights

    I booked a better room with kitchen and ocean view. The ocean view was just a side view from the balcony. I was told at reception that I would have to pay an extra fee $45 per night for a direct view of the ocean and that I didn't have a kitchenette. There were no basic ingredients such as salt and pepper in the kitchenette. I was graciously lent a salt shaker and told to bring it back to reception at the end. There was a coffee machine and coffee for the first day, but there were no tea bags for the tea drinkers. There is no opportunity to get a breakfast at the hotel.

    The room is equipped with air conditioning. WiFi is free. The entire complex is very well maintained and clean. There are many palm trees and flowers in the garden. There are hammocks available. The hotel is only 5 minutes from the nearest town and 5 minutes in the other direction to a beautiful sandy beach. The Restaurant for Dinner is an excellent one.

    It would have been convenient to have a simple breakfast option on property (eg coffee selection and options like bagels, some fruit and granola), but there is a nice bakery and a coffee shop just five minutes out.

    Beautiful ocean front location with a view. Grounds well kept and nicely set. Staff was super friendly and helpful. We had an ocean view room and it was great to fall asleep to the sound of the waves.

    Our room was the closest one to the road and the that with the thin walls made it really noisy and hard to sleep - especially in the early morning hours.

    No - zero food available on Monday’s and before 11:30am. it is 2mi to town which has limited options, especially Sunday and Monday. we came off of a boat and had no idea there would be no food available. there is a microwave and refrigerator and dishes etc. but if you don’t know that you need supplies or that the grocery closes at 2 on Sunday and most places are closed on Monday, it can be a problem. it should be made very clear that food options are restricted.

    the only hotel on Molokai, it was clean, beautiful grounds and well run.

    The property, like much of all of the Hawaiian Islands, is full of roosters, who feels an intense need to start crowing at around 3:30 each morning. Outside of that, we all absolutely loved everything about our stay! The hotel and restaurant staff are extremely friendly, helpful, professional, accommodating, and efficient. A+ for them all!

    I wish they offered breakfast every day!! Breakfast is only available on Sundays, but it is outstanding!
