Honiara Hotel

If you really want to experience Solomon Islands, look no further. This is the place to go. Kind staff. Relax atmosphere. Rooms clean and good prices.

Love this hotel - friendly staff, great 30m pool, lovely gardens, great food. Try the banana bread at breakfast - the best I’ve ever had. Also book a massage - again best ever.

Don’t stay in the hotel if you want peace and quiet. Loud music blasting out from the pool area all day and at night through til late. Bathroom very dirty on arrival. No milk for hot drinks. Very patchy wifi. Pool is actually open to the public so don’t expect a quiet swim as it’s full of teenagers all weekend. Restaurant expensive. Had to ask for bug spray as room was full of mosquitoes ants and a few spiders when I arrived because big screen on door ripped. Lovely friendly staff but rooms very very shabby

Recently I stayed at the Honiara hotel whilst attending a business conference and it was a comfortable & enjoyable experience. The staff are very friendly and helpful, arranging transport from the airport and to & from the conference daily. The hotel sits on the side of a hill with the rooms arranged on 4 levels, so depending on your room location, there can be lots of stairs. The staff also helped here with bag portage. The hotel is an older, island-style property and some aspects of it are tired and need refurbishment (such as the gym). The rooms are clean and air-conditioned and the beds are comfortable with new linen. The wi-fi worked once I figured out which side of the room was covered, but I had no problems connecting to Zoom meetings via my laptop on the desk. The TV reception was great and offered multiple English language channels. I also dined at the Honiara hotel with 4 colleagues. Again the staff were helpful as a number of us ordered fish and the waitress recommended against it as she said it wasn’t fresh, but they would have fresh fish in the morning. We opted for steaks which were well-cooked & delicious. The service was a little slow due to the hotel hosting multiple football teams for a regional championship, but they made a mends with some complementary garlic bread. The hotel has a large pool with adjoining deck and a games-room & bar. These all appear to be in good order and were very popular, creating a relaxed island vibe.

I loved my stay at the Honiara hotel. I stay here every time I visit Honiara and this time I had the pleasure of enjoying their newly renovated rooms. Luxurious sheets, modern aircon unit, wonderful views. The stairs are always a part of staying at the Honiara hotel and I just see it as my daily exercise. The staff treat me like family and everyone is so friendly. For me it’s the perfect balance of comfort whilst also feeling like I am in the Solomon Islands. Highly recommend staying here.

This place definitely has a lot of potential. The design is unique and the woodwork in the rooms is quite nice. The beds (mattresses really) and bathroom are quite dated. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. The WiFi and air conditioning worked nicely. The pool was beautiful! The food was ok!

If you're planning to stay at this hotel, I would recommend being mindful of the additional transportation charges. The airport shuttle service has a separate fee, and when you arrive, the taxi driver will charge you separately in cash for the ride to the hotel. Unfortunately, this lack of clarity around the shuttle and taxi arrangements was the biggest disappointment of my stay. The miscommunication regarding these charges left me feeling frustrated, as I wasn't expecting to pay extra on top of what was already arranged. Make sure to clarify these details in advance to avoid any surprises during your trip.

for the positive .. clean, AC worked. shower had hot water after 5 minutes of running ... wifi does NOT work. supposedly it has been down for months. they have a back up Welkom Telecom, something like that. this does NOT work. then they gave me a portable hotspot. that did NOT work im sorry dont charge me $140 a night, if you cant deliver what you state. i told them not to clean my room. of course they did. and then on top of that, they threw out my melatonin gummies in the fridge for some reason. hotel of course does not have Do Not Disturb signs. so many other little things. in general the hotel is very dilapidated. in another ten years, this will be a coll dark tourism site.

This place is definitely not worth the money. The wifi is not easily accessible, some rooms are in the range of the hotspots, but others are not. The reception does not tell you the amount of internet is limited per guest, so if you do manage to get on the wifi, you might use up your quota and then have no internet (not pleasant when you arrive from a long trip somewhere where you don't know anyone). The safe in the room didn't work, the shower head was falling apart and it was difficult taking a shower. There was hot water only once (it's the tropics, how can the water not be warm?) otherwise cold showers, and then there were the cockroaches. If you don't kill them, they will come back, the same one! There is complimentary coffee in the room, tea and sugar, however the little box it is in is full of tiny ants, so you don't really want to use any of it. The pool is nice, maybe not clean enough, but decent. The hotel is located on a hillside, so there is a lot of going up and down, not convenient for luggage. I would not recommend this place at all
