We stayed at Garden Island Inn after our flight arrived around 8:30pm. That was too late to drive out to our B&B, so they recommended this place and we were really happy with it. It wasn't until we had explored the entire island that we realized just how good the location is if you're driving a lot. Clean rooms, friendly... More

Trip Advisor: Garden Island Inn - Kauai: Stayed May 2nd and May 10th, 2013 We were very pleased with our two one-night stays at the Garden Island Inn [hotel] It is a budget hotel and as such I would give it five stars for the amenities it offers. The staff was very friendly and helpful providing us with a cooler,... More

If you are looking for a basic and comfortable location to explore Kauai from then this hotel is ideal. It is about 5 minutes drive from the airport and beside the beach. There are several restaurants you can walk to including Duke's. There is also an ABC store across the road. The room doors open to the outside like a... More

Garden Island Inn is a great place to stay in Kauai! Right in the heart of Lihue, it is across the street from Kalapaki Beach, and a mile from a great shopping mall (Kukui Grove) as well as stores within walking distance. The staff is wonderful, the units are beautifully decorated with artwork by Camille Fontaine. There are a lot... More

Kauai can be an expensive place in terms of accomodation if you haven't booked anything in advance (mainly "vacational rental" as they call it). So this is a small hotel, well located in Lihue, at a walking distance from a beach that will suit kids. Staff is great, very helpfull and attentive, free use of small boogie boards or other... More

Wouldn't stay anywhere else. In the two weeks I have been here I feel like part of the family. Complementary beach towels & chairs, snorkel equip, books, movies, nutrition bars, cookies and coffee provided in the office. Cosy, quaint, charming. Super friendly staff. A true taste of the ALOHA spirit.

This is a well loved, beautiful property that reminds you of the way things used to be. Local calls are free, vending machine cokes are $0.75, and beach equipment is available to check out. The staff treats their guests just the way they would want to be treated and are wonderful people. Although the rooms are small, they are clean... More

I have been intending to write about our fabulous 11 night stay at the Garden Island Inn two months ago in February. We found this gem right here on Trip Advisor last fall. It looked just like the warm and friendly place we would love, and it truly is! I was just looking at our pictures of Kauai and recalling... More

I just love this little place! Please do not make a reservation expecting all the bells and whistles of a Hyatt or the St. Regis - this is a locally owned, budget minded family hotel. But those who staff the Inn are some of the friendliest and warmest people that I've met on the island. At the end of my... More
