History

Established in 1997.

Where Central Maui’s celebrated Na Wai ‘Eha (The Four Waters) converge, you will find a charming, comfortable, one-of-a-kind destination. Known when it was built in 1924 as the «Queen of Wailuku homes,» the building has been meticulously and lovingly restored to its original glory, with the addition of every modern amenity and convenience required by today’s traveler. The home and its lush grounds are imbued with a deep sense of history and, even more important here in Hawai’i, a sense of place.

Old Wailuku Inn at Ulupono is listed on the Hawai’i Registry of Historic Places. The Hawai’i Visitors and Convention Bureau honored it for two consecutive years as the most Hawaiian accommodation in the State, «In 2000, the Inn was ranked 5 on Travel + Leisure magazine’s Top Ten U.S. Bed & Breakfasts list and in 2004, it received the Historic Preservation Honor Award. 2005, the Inn was the only property in Hawai’i on Fodor’s Choice Hotels, the 2^nd annual list of 20 hotels worldwide.

This was the most amazing place to stay. We arrived not knowing what to expect and felt at home right away. The rooms were amazing. Very warm and cozy. Every morning there is a breakfast for all the guest. This was an amazing experience for 2 reasons. First reason being that the food was amazing. Home cooked meals while on vacation was a very pleasant suprise. Second being the information and conversation you got with the fellow guests. This is a must stay while in maui. You won’t find a better place

This is a a terrific B and B that my wife and I stayed at on our first trip to Maui. Great central location with good access to all points of the island, yet still quiet, welcoming and friendly. A great alternative to noisy resorts.

I can’t get enough of this place. Come here for work several times a year and Janice and her team are simply the best. Every room has its own charm. I’m staying in Miulana today and am loving the shower! Wall jets and an overhead! Plus a private lanai for me to have my coffee. Mahalo Ulupono!

Just booked a second stay at this charming B&B. My hubby prefers the amenities of a hotel, but since we are going for my BD I get to choose Whoo Hoo! Last time we stayed in the Plumeria room it was quaint and quiet — we actually walked all the way down to the mall and back — had to work off that milkshake from Ruby’s Diner! The breakfast was good-coffee is always welcome in my book — the snacks provided were a nice touch. My favorite memory was buying champagne and cheese/crackers from Guava Gouda and Caviar and having our own private picnic on the lanai — I really can’t wait to go back — Happy Birthday to me!

I stayed here with my wife recently because we wanted to try something different from the Ka’anapali resorts where we have stayed in the past. This was our first time staying at a B&B anywhere and we loved it.
The house is very nice inside. The two breakfasts we had were excellent and it was quite fun chatting with the other guests and the owner (Tom). We stayed in the Ulu Room, which is big and has a whirlpool in the bathroom.
Granted it is not on the beach, but it is a nice central location for driving to Hana, Haleakala, and Wailea.
They were running a special when we stayed, so we paid about $ 160 per night (two night minimum stay), and overall I thought this was a good value.

A very comfortable place, beautiful room and garden, handy location for touring the island. We would love to return!

This is very nice bed and breakfast tucked away in Wailuku. Fantastic breakfasts, super clean rooms. The owner is very helpful suggesting various things to do. It’s only 15 minutes to the best surfing beach in Hawaii. They provide beach towels, chairs and umbrellas. There is a refrigerator for guest use. So we stashed a couple bottles of wine there and would have nightcap on the veranda after our travels were done for the day. You can walk 5 minutes to Ichiban for some of the best chicken katsu you can get on this island.

It’s very very cute, and very very old, just like Grandma’s house. The lacey curtains and the colorful quilt inside the room further emphasize the age. The bathrooms are new and remodeled and super clean. Rooms are spacious and come with shelves of books for your entertainment, ranging from travel, to cooking, to soft porn, to sewing.
In the morning they serve a mean breakfast with fresh fruits. I really felt well taken care of here. Just remember this is not your standard Hawaii resorty place.

They answer the phone and seem really sweet.
$ 165 to $ 195 a night is pricey and a little smug for Wailuku.
Great spot to put your parents up when they come to Maui to bail you out of Jail and pay your court fees for getting too free.
Lawyers will love the hot tub after a long day wheeling and dealing with the Maui’s Kangaroo Court system.

Last weekend we stayed at the Old Wailuku Inn. We absolutely love staying at this historical little bed and breakfast. We are repeat visitors and have probably stayed in every room there. The best are the ones with the multi-head showers. The top one is like standing under a waterfall. Absolutely refreshing and relazing! You will not want to leave your room!
The owners Janice and Tom always recognize us and are always so sweet and personable. We enjoy our daily morning chats with them as they serve all of their guests breakfast.
They are centrally located in Wailuku in a convenient yet secluded area off of the main highway. I highly recommend you to stay here on your next trip to Maui. You will not regret it!

I would not hesitate to recommend the Old Wailuku Inn to anyone who is open to a «non-beach» accommodation in Maui. I, for one, am glad that G and I found this little bed and breakfast in Central Maui (about 15 minutes from the Kahului airport) as opposed to staying at one of the big, expensive beach resorts in Kaanapali or Wailea.
We stayed in the master suite — the Ulu Room — which was comfortable and very well-kept. We were there just days before Christmas and found the holiday décor to be delightful to the point that it was a bit much (we had Christmas pillows on our bed and Santas on our shelves!) The Ulu Room’s bathroom, with a shower, whirlpool, vanity, and sink/toilet, is enormous — almost half of the size of the bedroom itself.
Over breakfast, we met both fellow travelers and locals alike: Big Island residents taking a vacation, young couples on their honeymoons, and a Maui gal who was getting her wedding photos taken on the property (that’s testimony to how gorgeous and well-restored the inn is.) Breakfasts featured local foods like passion fruit butter, starfruit, Portugese sausage, sweet potatoes, and papaya. I ate everything with relish.
The personalized attention to detail here is what I liked most: up-to-date guidebooks in our room, snacks/water for the road, giant beach towels, and calls/emails from the innkeepers to check on us before our stay. I look forward to returning to this inn on future trips to Maui.

Great place to stay at. We were here April 2007 and we stayed in the Mokihana room. This room was huge and it had a whirlpool hot tub, great to soak in during the evenings. Everyone there is really sweet and helpful.
