    Very slow restaurant service. After waiting 30 min for a coffee without success, I went up into our room and brought my own hot water. Also dinner was very slow (although good quality)

    Huge room with private kitchen. Very central location.

    Needs some refurbishment - looking a little run down at the edges. Built on a hillside and the many wooden steps are slippery when wet. Hard to see the funicular controls in low light had to use my torch. There are still additional steps - slippery for me aged 72 and using a stick

    Good location - a quirky Solomon Island feel to the place -not a bland international hotel

    It was ok for pleasure, not so much for business.

    • Standard Twin or Double Room with Sea View

    Room was not the one I initially booked. There was no water from a certain time at night until a certain time in the morning. Also very low pressure which made showering difficult. No hairdryer and also no iron - this is a problem when travelling for business. Took forever to check-in and check-out.

    Great place for holiday. Absolutely beautiful with very friendly staff and nice evening vibes with music. Beautiful pool!

    It was a sunny day when we checked in to the hotel. The roof leaked in two places which was later repaired successfully. Pool is not well maintained and the water was very cloudy. Shower cubicle wasn’t clean and the general state of repair of the rooms and countless wooden stairs and decks/ verandahs was poor. Only paid internet available in room and wifi available in the foyer restaurant area was poor. This property would benefit from significant repair/ renovation and investment.

    It was well located and upper rooms have a sea view. Air conditioning was effective and the staff were keen to assist wherever possible. The cable car, used to get to rooms spread up a steep hill, was fun.

    Lighting in my room was a bit dim. Everyones different, i prefer more light some prefers dim like my colleague i came with. Also the gym, ive done a few clean up and tidying when i use the gym, but msybe just clear our the broken equipment and loose parts lying around every corner of the gym. And possibly add or put some seating on the bikes.

    Room service and gym and the stairs to heaven hehe good for exercise. Also the cable cart when theres just no energy to walk. Also the fresh air that comes with the elevation of rooms in level 2 and above. First time seeing s frog.

    I’d say it was fine with no frills. Clean, comfortable, ac in the rooms, everything you need for a couple of days in Honiara & you don’t really want to stay longer than that. Oh, you have to pay for internet in your room & I overheard someone saying it wasn’t good at all. There is free WiFi in the lobby, but only fans (no ac) & bitey insects.

    It’s a nice place to stay 1 block back from the main drag. Restaurant & bar onsite are fine & you’re a short walking distance to Breakwater & palm sugar eateries. The little ‘lift’ car to get you up to the higher levels is pretty cute. I like the way it’s built up the hillside & the gardens between the levels are nice too. Didn’t use the pool. Can exchange money at reception but you get a better rate at home/the airport…

    A hotel of this price should have wifi in the room and also included tea/coffee facilities

    Good historic site with attractions and neat funicular, mostly helpful staff and good meals on location, fairly large and comfortable room with balcony, fridge etc and very close to Breakwater cafe and CBD 5-10 minutes walk

    A good cheaper option for a solo traveller with low expectations

    The staff didn't seem to want to engage. I couldn't figure out what it was, they tended to only engage if engaged upon. Not great customer service and lacking enthusiasm and a smile. Was able to get done what I needed to though, but again, just didn't really sell themselves. I used the gym twice and the pool 3 times. The gym is possibly the world's worst, but, it was enough for me to throw around a few dumbbells and get a good workout in before jumping in the pool. The pool was murky but cooled me off.

    As a solo traveller who doesn't need much, it did everything it needed to without setting the world on fire. Breakfast was pretty good, I had the big breakfast twice, pancakes once and omelette once. Breakfast was served with fruit, which was nice. Dinner was solid, their pizzas from the pizza oven are decent. Room was basic, bed not that comfy, could feel the springs, sheets okay, pillows not great. Free wifi was available in the lobby and it was okay at best. It was occasionally quite temperamental and dropped out.

    The Friday night disco scene is far too loud. Even with my windows shut, and the curtains pulled, the thump-thump-thump kept me awake until 0200. Not cool.

    It's a quaint hotel, well-managed, and a staff that's both friendly and professional. And 5G! A nice menu, lots of curries, which I enjoy. More fresh fish dishes, please, you're on an island! The tram is a unique feature, but slow; I too the stairs daily. But overall, very enjoyable, and yes, I'd return.

    It’s a motel type of place, quite old, no basic luxury but pretty clean and decent. For Honiara is ok. The food at the restaurant is pretty good, fresh fish and own pizza oven. They also have some cultural dance shows
