    Clean, close to restaurants & a good location.

    A bit dated, steep stairs, noisy fan.

    Jessica the lady at reception was so lovely and super helpful. The location is also great.

    Didn’t feel clean, windows don’t close so it’s very loud at night people were outside my room smoking and playing music late at night and I was unable to shut the window.

    Maya and Mr Wu (her husband) and the local staff were very helpful throughout the stay including helping me arrange a taxi to the airport. The room I had was very nice with a comfortable double bed, Wardrobe, desk/table, fridge, cooking strove and my own bathroom with powerful shower. The room and motel was very quiet with a security guard employed at night to add to what already felt a very safe place to stay. The only reason why I did not give the property full marks is the common room area outside of my room has seats, book swap and a piano and so some more entertainment might be an option? The location is also very convenient to the marina and shopping areas and therefore the whole experience represents very good value for money in my opinion. If I come back to Vanuatu, then I will certainly consider staying here again.

    There was nothing I didn't like, the amount of entertainment such as board games etc might be something other peoplem value in accommodation.

    having a lpg bottle in the room and a non vented instant hot water unit with no vent , the room with a view was of a tree and if you turned your head to the right angle you could see a bit of the ocean the ocean views from the front of the building were wonderful but we did not get one of them

    The room was spacious, the double bed was good, the kitchenette and the fridge were convenient, it was a quiet place, not far from supermarket 'Au Bon Marché Downtown' and near a Thaï restaurant...

    I found a bed bug creeping on my sheet on day one. When I crushed it, it was full of my blood!... in the morning of day two, I found another one. I also found cockroach egg in my bed and on the floor. That wasn't very inviting. The bathroom was too small and poorly maintained. I mentioned the above to the Chinese receptionist who seemed very surprised. Whether they will do what it takes, to fumigate the mattress, remains to be seen. Bed bugs are a serious problem andf can be exported elsewhere in your own bag...

    Property response:

    Dear customer, we have dealt with it after you checked out and even suspected the sale of this room.we are sorry for bringing you a bad experience. we are still improving. Thanks for your support.

    The staff were all very nice and helpful. When we asked to have our room changed they very quickly obliged and arranged for a new room in 5 min.

    It was pretty grim besides the staff being pleasant. When we arrived in our room there were about 15 huge cockroaches all around the room and flying in from outside to the point that we changed rooms. Our new room did not have a bathroom (had to use very rudimentary shared bathroom) but at least had no cockroaches. This room was fine but it was incredibly tiny (could not open a suitcase). Also the hotel is quite loud and the curtain didn’t block light at all so woke up super early. We paid about $55 AUD for one night while we were waiting for our main accommodation so we were not expecting much but honestly with what we experienced I couldn’t even say it’s value for money. You can get so much better in Port Vila for a fraction more.

    Location only. I wish I had something nice to say about this place other than location but I don’t. The place needs a lot of work to even be habitable.

    It was very very dirty, there were bugs, no hot water, had a bad smell, sheet had what appeared to be a dark blood stain on it, there was constant noise throughout the accommodation, people were coming and going 24 hours a day. I would never recommend this place to anybody. We left early. This stay really dampened our visit to Vanuatu, we will review places better because of this experience. Avoid this place at all costs.

    Property response:

    I'm sorry to bring you a bad experience. we have hot water for bathing in the room.After your reminder in terms of hygiene, we will improve the deficiencies. Thank you for your comment .

    Accommodation located in a great spot with a seaview just on the edge of the main town, Port Vila. Handy for vars, restaurants, access to the water and shops and not far from the airport. It's just up a hill so helps with the views. Staff members were friendly. Room felt secure.

    ON a comparable price level it was poor. It's how it was advertised versus what I got in reality that really annoyed me. I have stayed in much better hostels. The rooms had wafer thin walls and only a central light so either bright or nothing. I felt I was sleeping with the snoring man in my neighbouring room. The main external sign illuminated outside my room window (though part of it wasn't working) and the noise from traffic, music from the waterfront venues and what seemed like a taxi/bus stop outside the hotel was very loud an if I'd shut my windows I'd have had no air as the room was very stuffy which meant not smelling great. There was a plug in fan but the room was hotter than anywhere else. The kitchen wasn't an option for use given the lack of facilities and the pots were not clean to cook. The shower was OK but also a bit of a smell due to the open bin for non flushable waste. It is a shame as the venue has potential to be good with some simple honest information and a bit of basic work

    Wi-fi worked, hot water worked, walking distance to the centre of Vila.

    Very dirty, found a few bed bugs, there was mould in the bathroom. All the shared areas shown in photos with ‘views’ have been filled in with rooms. Not a lot of privacy with windows onto the walkway, noisy at night.

    Property response:

    I am so sorry for the unhappiness that happened to you here,we have replaced the new mattress, and we will gradually improve our deficiencies, looking forward to seeing you next time.
