This isn't a fancy hotel, but it's very comfortable and charming. Phillip, the owner, and all of the staff, were very welcoming and helpful. Our room and bed were very comfortable. The Continental breakfast was great. We enjoyed the live music by the pool in the evenings, and the resident peacocks and cats that wander around the property. We'd go back!

Unbelievable family stay! We had a group of 11 and honestly can only say how sad we were to leave. There is not a better staff at a hotel anywhere! We were lucky enough to stay on a Friday night when there was live music and they were fabulous.

I loved the movie night. I loved the nostalgic feel, the cats, the peacocks. At first I was unsure because the drive was very remote and the homeless on side street. But everything was like old times Hawaii feel.

This is where we stay when we go to Kauai. The property is gorgeous and the hotel rooms are simple and harken back to the old days before the giant resorts. The area is very quiet but still fairly close to restaurants and the rest of Lihue. Very relaxing which is what you want when you go to Kauai.

I had the best time in Hawai’i and staying at Kauai Inn is part of what made it great. It’s a quiet hotel away from the hustle and bustle. The staff and owner were so helpful and laid back. They went out of their way for us multiple times and Im grateful to them. The breakfast they serve is delicious, my favorite is the fruit and croissants. The musicians they bring in are wonderful singers and create such a relaxing atmosphere. The animals running outside the hotel are entertaining. Surprise peacocks were my favorite. Honestly 10/10 for the vibe and the customer service. If I come back to Kauai hands down there is no other place I would stay.
