The ISO by Castle

Please remember the following description of our hotel experience: We had an oceanfront view from the second floor, facing the pool, and enjoyed some privacy thanks to the nearby trees. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel's location was convenient for heading north, south, and to the west shore, and we had many activities scheduled. The hotel offers a fantastic sunrise view but could use nicer and more comfortable beach chairs. Although the beach in front of the hotel may not be the most beautiful, it was good enough for a morning or evening walk. There was plenty of parking available, and the pool was nice, clean, and had enough chairs. There was also a small fireplace where we could hang out after dinner. The breakfast was grab-and-go style, which was fine for us. Bonus is the yo Ga class at 7 AM, the instructor she is super sweet and great!

This hotel is great value (taking into account how expensive Hawaii is generally). It has a lovely relaxed feel and beautiful view from the room with sea breezes. I enjoyed this hotel very much. It also has a Starbucks and supermarket 5 minutes walk away which is very convenient. There’s a morning yoga class which was great too.

Very nice hotel in a comfortable location, easily accessible with the car and with some options within a walking distance or by bike (available in the hotel to rent). The room was fully equipped, including a fridge & coffee machine. The hotel provides refillable bottle & a purified water fountain in the hall. Amenities and enough clean towels were provided for our 3 nights stays, if more needed you can ask the reception. However worth noticing they don’t have daily cleaning service, but rely on DIY services providing you with the resources to ensure a clean room & nice stay. It was surprising but we actually appreciated it as a way to reduce waste & understandable with the min staff they have. The Grab & Go breakfast is a nice concept that allowed us to enjoy beautiful sunrises from the room or the beach.

The location is absolutely great for exploring the entire island, being situated right in the middle. The staff were wonderful, particularly the very friendly front desk team. Parking was ample and convenient, located right in front. The garden and pool area were well-kept and featured a cozy fireplace. The pool itself was very clean. The provided breakfast was decent, though coffee was missing from the main area (fortunately, there was a coffee machine in the room). We also enjoyed great views from the rooms. Plus, they offer free bike rental, which is a fantastic bonus!

This was a wonderful property that felt like part of the community, surrounded by local businesses and using a responsible amount of land. We are so glad we stayed here instead of at a resort. Some favorites: 1. Free bike rental with helmets available! The hotel is in such a bikeable area with easy access to the coastal trail. 2. Breakfast was great--a nice variety for a free grab&go-- especially the fresh pineapple. 3. We loved the pool. We didn't do the sunrise yoga, but it was neat to see it every morning. 4. The ocean views and access were excellent, and the outdoor lighting was bright enough to feel safe but dim enough that you could see stars and the ocean at night-- unlike the resorts just south of us. We loved our private balcony. 5. While there aren't laundry facilities on the premises, there's a great new laundromat just across the street. This was easy and convenient. 6. The free water bottles and water were very helpful for staying hydrated on active Kauai days of hiking, biking, and kayaking. 7. Customer Service was consistently great.
