Full of charm!
The Kauai Inn is full of charm. It's an older hotel (oldest in Kauai they told us) but the owner has made some key upgrades and the staff couldn't be an nicer.
The sheets, towels, and bed were soft. The AC was cold and while the shower/bathroom was outdated, there was lots of hot water and nice water pressure.
Honestly an updated bathroom wouldn't fit the vibe and charm of this place anyway. They had soft music playing and nice lights to light up the pool area at night. They have live music on certain nights (an excellent surprise!) and they had a nice fireworks display on NYE (also a nice surprise). As other reviewers have said-- there are cats and chicken and roosters. Not the hotels cats but strays and neighbor cats that like to come by to visit. There are peacocks and we even saw a wild pig nearby one evening. The view is absolutely amazing of the mountains. What put this hotel over the top was the staff. They made sure we are breakfast before checking out and we're genuine and kind.
We loved the Kauai Inn and will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Kauai.

Beautiful property & staff are all lovely and kind. Very attentive. Morning breakfast included with an array of local fruits. Loved our stay immensely. Buildings/rooms are a bit older, but well kept. Beautiful animals roam freely. ‘’Miss my home - Kaua’i’’

Room needs maintanence - cabinets peeling, light shining into room from doorway direct to bed but, we enjoyed our one night's stay & really appreciated finding a room for five. Parking was limited. Service was good & nice continental breakfast & seating by the pool.

Quiet and a bit off the beaten path. Lots of animals (cats, chicken, and roosters) wandering the property for those that would enjoy it.

This is an old school place. Small, quiet and private. Staff are very kind. Close to town, but you would never know.

Great find and beautiful area.
Beautiful area away from the hustle and bustle of Lihue. Very friendly and accommodating. This is not a 5 star hotel that you are going to pay 400-500 a night but instead it is a beautiful area, clean and comfortable. Upon our arrival we were given beads which was a nice surprise. Continental breakfast was very nice and coffee was great. The hospitality was wonderful.
