Cosmopolitan Condo - Lagoon Centre 701 In the Heart of Hilo

The place was very clean and nicely decorated. The location was also very convenient.

This was my third time in this building with this management company. Checking in and out is easy. While the building is in need of some love the units are updated, clean, and have everything you could need. The location is great! It's a short walk to the ocean, the outdoor market, and historic downtown Hilo.

We were in town visiting a friend of my daughter’s. The condo was very well taken care of and clean. The kitchen area although nice was quite small for two people to be in there at the same time. The area surrounding the condo is more of a business setting but it allowed us the convenience of being close to her friend. We never did get to the pool area but it looked like black top surrounding the actual pool. Not sure how that would feel on one’s feet in the summer time. Overall we had a very nice stay!

The unit was very clean, comfortable and the views were beautiful! The kitchen is small but had all essential items. The restaurant downstairs was awesome! The park behind the unit is beautiful! Love the pond. It’s very close to downtown but not really a comfortable walking distance. Directions for check in were great.

Clean and everything we needed. Great views. Host accommodating to our immediate needs. Thanks.

Great location and awesome views! Nice and clean and very convenient.

Saltwater vacations were great to deal with. Organised and deluvered an electric kettle immediately. Unit was great location if you have a car. Beds very comfortable

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our stay. We wished there were more kitchen tools. We are fans of the local Fresh Market and availability of fresh fish. Mixing bowls would be a good addition to the unit. There is a small piece of floor molding in the master bedroom (corner of bedroom and closet wall) that looks like it has been knocked about over the years. It fell off several times while we were there exposing a sharp nail. Just needs some minor attention before someone gets cut. Other than that, we wish there were local TV (island) channel(s)....we'd like to feel apart of the local scene. I'm sure we will be back to Hilo Lagoons Centre.

Poorly maintained. We should get paid for doing maintenance didn't expect that on vacation. 1 dryer doesn't dry clothes still wet after 60min. Need a change machine nobody does coin operated laundry anymore 2 light switches didn't work. 3 shower rod falls down 4 defrost the freezer, ice trays more damage than ice maker 5 replace AC unit filters or provide fans put UV window film on windows 6 master bedroom reeked of toxic gas/burnt rubber smell 7 replace shelf in twin bathroom 8 K. sink drain plug doesn't plug. 8 You say family friendly but no TVs in bedrooms the master bedroom doesn't need 5 large unnecessary mirrors on half the wall or ugly paintings. 9 wifi kept shutting down. Only reason i didn't report this is because the list kept growing and I was trying to be nice and knew nothing would be done about it. Decor was nice building has a 70s vibe but no maintenance since the 70s. Also if you insist that guests empty trash change the drop off hours to earlier than 8am, people have flights to catch, otherwise do it yourself it's not like housekeeping has that much to. Anyway the vrbo description was misleading and I feel cheated by not getting what I paid for. Salt water does poor management of their properties. Will not choose this again.

Spacious with a lovely view from the master bedroom.

The condo was very spacious. So lovely to have 2 bathrooms. We only used the primary shower. The bathtub shower could use a little updating. The kitchen had what we needed, we only made breakfast. The pan was in good condition. There was only salt, pepper and a couple of condiments in the frig. No oils or other spices or coffee. There is a 12 cup coffee maker with reusable filter. The parking spot is in the rear of the building, there are stairs from the lot to enter to the back door, you need the key after hours, and there will be stairs to the elevator after hours. Not a problem if you are ok with stairs. We would have done laundry in the building had we known that there is a change machine somewhere downstairs. The machines are coin operated,2 washers. We ended up going to the laundromat. With that, the communication with the hosts is most likely work hours, so be aware of that. There was a happening coffee spot about 5 minute walk away. We didn’t have a chance to make it there. We had a nice walk in the park in the back of the condo.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros...right in the heart of Hilo Town! Very clean and spacious.Cons...parking space located in back of condo next to an open park. Walk is a bit far and if you get back too late you have to walk up many stairs to the first floor to get to elevators. Carrying a lot of bags, etc. very heavy and inconvenient. Also, a lot of poop from ducks on the walkway. Bathrooms are not equipped for handicap, elderly or people with knee, back problems. Shower door in master bedroom opens less than halfway. Entering sideways without anything to hold onto can be dangerous. Toilet is also extremely low to the floor. Luckily those who stayed here didn’t have any physical limitations. Might be a good thing to mention this in description. I will not be staying here again for the reasons I mentioned but if they aren’t of any concern for you, this might be a good place to stay!

Great location, clean, perfect

The condo was perfect for our family of 4. Very clean and the location was very good but a car is still needed. The pool was clean and easy to use. I recommand without hesitation. Thank you!

There are pro's and cons to the condo. First the pros;The view is amazing from the livingroom and the master bedroom overlooking the park and the bay. The condo is good size and quite comfortable.Location is centrally located and close to everything.Easy parking.Cons:Very loud coqui frogs keeping you awake every night. from dusk to dawn...and a wild pig greeted my brother in 5am in the parking lot.when he went down to the car to go get his morning coffee and newspaper. Security did nothing to get that pig out of the parking lot. They could see it on their cameras, because they sit right next to the elevators.Needs 2 TV's. .There is only one. Refrigerator appeared to look like it had an icemaker in the door. It was not working. Owner brought me a bag of ice instead. .I was given a refund for the inconvenience of other problems we experienced with the outside building being painted.during our stay without being told. Next time, I will go to a local realty company,VRBO has too many fees!

Owners of this 50 year old high rise have done a good job of maintenance and upkeep; always a challenge in a tropical location. Fellow residents/travelers were polite and friendly and we always felt safe. Coqui frogs were quite noisy as is the case in much of this area, but we kept the windows closed and slept well. Would recommend this place. One note to owners: knives need sharpening; very hard to cut much of anything.

We came to visit family and wanted an air conditioned space in the downtown area. This location was perfect, close to everything and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again the next time we come to visit. Property management was very responsive to any questions I had.

The location was great and I enjoyed the grounds with having the park in the back and seeing the ducks and koi pond. Overall the unit was clean and very well equipped and you have just about everything you could need. We used the small cooler a lot. I would recommend they provide more washcloths or for people to bring their own (we always do so it wasn't an issue). The were only 2 washcloths and 2 makeup cloths which can be used as wash cloths I guess, but we were there for 10 days. Laundry up the hall ($2 wash, $1.50 dry) was convenient and worked great but wouldn't want to do it every couple days. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location - definitely felt safe in this area. Extremely quiet. Beds were very comfortable and a/c worked well.Appreciated the chairs, cooler, and beach towels in the unit for use. We used the chairs a ton!Well appointed kitchen with nice, new pots and pans. It was a bit hard to locate the assigned parking spot in the dark (numbers need to be repainted) but this isn't something the owner or property manager can control.Overall, everything was really great!

This is a nicely updated condo in an older high-rise building. Views of the mountains to the north/west and the bay in the distance from one bedroom. Located near "old" downtown and restaurants. Adjacent to a very large park. Kitchen is reasonably equipped and supplied. Beds are comfortable. Nice TV, but with no cable, be sure you come with streaming passwords. Overall, a nice stay.

Beautiful view from the master bedroom! Lovely location; easy to get around Hilo; great coffee shop and burger restaurant within walking distance!

Nice condo unit on 7th floor with great access to the Bay for our event.

Great location, convenient and quick check in.

The building was dirty, and looked unkept. The pool was closed with caution tape around it. Not at all what we wanted for a vacation

Clean, modern condo. Great location!

This was a nice place for our family of 4. The online listing was accurate. One downside was the pool was closed during our stay which was disappointing. Also, there were quite limited toiletries available for the duration of our stay and we ended up needing to buy additional shampoo, soap, etc.

We love to come back there again.

Could not find the garbage shoot to dispose of the kitchen bag. TV hung and remote would not work. Location was fine for what we needed. Master bed was comfortable, Soap and shampoo were low quality.

Disappointed, unable to watch Merrie Monarch competition on TV. That’s one reason for the trip

Clean, comfortable, and has pretty much all you’d need. We spent 3 nights checking out Hilo and this worked well. It felt safe and clean, and a good location.

Property was very comfortable with everything we needed. Great location for walking around the city.

Room was very clean and quiet. Good location and great areas close by for walking (beach, park). Lots of good dining close by.

Nicely updated condo with a small kitchen. We stayed on the 7th floor of the building and had no problems with getting an elevator. The building's hallways are dated but clean and quiet. It is close to downtown Hilo, and we used it as a base to visit some waterfalls, Mauna Kea and Volcano National Park. We enjoyed our stay here.

Condo was lovely! Nice, quiet and great location. Kitchen is stocked for cooking meals which was great. I would recommend they stock a pasta strainer and also recommend they supply several beach towels. A couple of fans would also be nice to move the air around. All minor items and even without these things, the condo was great. Property Manager answered any questions we had right away. You won't be disappointed with this rental! Love it. We had a great time. Thank you!

My husband is a huge tv fan, and this was disappointing for him.
