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.
