Manoa Inn

Manoa Valley Inn. a rustic gem in the heart of Manoa, the staff was excellent. To be haunted, but I did not see any ghost during my stay.. however I did keep The Catholic TV on to keep any evil spirits at Bay

Stayed during renovations, was worth the stay even if pool was out of service. Was a convenient walk to UH and few stores. Would recommend if looking for something simple and vintage.

I stayed here for two nights in March of 2022, and wish I could have stayed longer! The first day, I thought I was guaranteed to see an apparition, given the house was built in 1914, the history of Mānoa Valley, and the turreted Victorian architecture. But the more time I spent here, this house grew on me.I was lucky to have the Davies room on the third floor (note that there are no elevators, and there are no plans to add ADA access because the house is on the National Registry of Historic Places). Awesome view of Waikīkī at sunrise and golden hour. Being 6'1" the bathroom can be awkward with its placement under a steep-sloped gable, requiring me to stand a little closer to the shower head and sink. The house has that smell like grandma's house, but it's expected with any wooden building this old.Top-notch antiques decorate every corner in a tasteful way. The saltwater pool is an added comfort, and the breakfasts made to order by Tomomi and her daughter is plain ol' good homecooking. Owner Scott Glen put a lot of money, time, and sweat into making this place wonderful. The five ducks, cat, and miniature pinscher are fun housemates!

Took a time out from life and escaped to the historic Manoa Valley Inn ( also known as the John Guild House) . I immediately jumped in the outdoor saltwater pool. It was private and cooling. I was lucky to have the inn pretty much to myself. I was afraid that it would be haunted but I felt a welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. I took the John Guild Suite. I felt sad to learn John Guild had embezzled money from the Dillingham company to build this house. He was caught and had to turn the home over to the Dillinghams-- had a quiet evening after having an Italian dinner at a nearby restaurant. Was very quiet and I slept very well.The family that took over the inn was very pleasant and created a terrific breakfast in the morning. I will be returning when I can. You would need to climb stairs if u want the John Guild or Dillingham suites.I did see a clown loach in the aquarium. Haven't seen one in ages and remembered that in the wild they can grow very large. Checking out was done smoothly and felt refreshed to begin the work week again

Manoa Valley Inn USED TO be really customer friendly.Apparently the owners has moved back to Japan and new owners are running the placeI didn't know this and I booked for two nights The service is horrible, and the girl that runs the place is rude and confrontational and talked with no respect to the customer when I asked for plain black tea in the morning.They don't have regular black tea that is caffeinated and since I don't drink coffee , I need tea to wake up in the morning. And when I asked, the person started speaking very aggressively towards me. And try to make me feel bad for asking for regular tea.And then she loudly saying I am too early for breakfast because they are not ready and it's 7:30 am My room was not clean, the bathroom had toothpaste marks on the counter and no hand soap at all and the where the soap used to sit is cake on dried soap on the counter. I cleaned it myself before I went to bed last night There is no manager that runs the place The over all experience there is so horrible, I would never want anyone to experience something like I did.I have never run into a bed and breakfast with such rude attitude and no respect for their customer. Please don't come to this bed and breakfast! It's horrible! And I am a very tolerant person most of the time unless someone disrespects me and acts aggressive towards me.

Had a wonderful stay here. Great hospitality and love the dogs as well. We will be back.

My wife and I had a very pleasant stay at Manoa Valley Inn. Tomomi and the rest of the family were extremely hospitable, including their dogs Peace, Duncan, and Yoda! The room was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was perfect! And, its location was nicely nestled in the Manoa Valley and we felt very safe throughout our stay. I would highly recommend staying there, whether you're a tourist or a Local.

My boyfriend and I were in a pinch and needed a room last minute. I was a little bit nervous because I read the reviews about there not being a shower, breakfast being lousy and it smelling like wet dog and whatever else people had said. My experience was completely different. We were welcomed by a beautiful Japanese woman who explained to us the house has been around since 1912 and was family-owned-and-operated. Due to the house being of age they kept an old fashioned style throughout the home. I found it very endearing. We stayed in the Baldwin room and my boyfriend whom is 6ft 2in did have a hard time fitting into the bed I on the other hand had no problem at my 5 foot stature. The shower is very roomy the bathroom is super cute and the bed was comfortable. The only issue I had was in the morning I was woken up by the rooster with the window open so that night I close the window and I had no issue the following morning. When we went downstairs we felt like we were in our families home a young man made us pancakes which were great with homemade strawberry jam and there was plenty of other selection of food items for breakfast including coffee, milk, fresh fruit, potatoes, bacon and more. I would prefer staying at a home like this over a hotel any day. They did have some dogs running around that you only saw in the morning but I didn't care. The dogs are well-behaved and didn't bother me whatsoever.

I was not sure what I was going to get when I booked this place. I am so happy that I did! Located in Manoa it still gave me the comfort of semi country life no hustle or bustle of city life. The whole trip was planned to visit our newly born grandson and this location was within minutes of their home. The place is on the National Historic list and I loved the whole atmosphere of the area. It is run by a family that resides on the premises and is available should you need them.

My wife and I reserved a room for 4 nights at Manoa Valley Inn. On the morning we were due to arrive they sent us an email saying they had overbooked the inn, and even though we'd reserved a room, they couldn't accommodate us. They promised to help us find other lodging but never answered the many phone calls we made to them for help. I've never had a hotel or an inn behave this irresponsibly.
