Never disappoints

Good value for money, friendly staff and clean room. Only complaint was that guests from a function downstairs that finished at around 10.30pm were still making alot of noise at 12.30am.

Would Recommend

It was great. I had a layover in the Solomon Islands that required a night stay and throughly enjoyed my time at the hotel and airport shuttle. I would recommend to anyone. Good food/restaurant, spent the morning before my flight at the pool and water lounge chairs and found the staff accommodating and helpful.

Stops looking, this is where you want to book. We had the unexpected pleasure to spend an extra week in the Solomon Islands. There's limited lodging in the city, this is by far your best value. Four-star is pretty accurate, there is some minor room maintenance that could help. The five-star hotel nearby is unaffordable and the three-star looks it. And where this hotel shines, is the very attentive, friendly staff. Plus two good restaurants on site, a pool, an amazing activities concierge (Francis!) For the somewhat rough city you are in one of the safer areas, we felt safe walking nearby. I highly recommend if you're in town that this is one of the best places to go.

Good location

First the positive, the staff are very nice and friendly. The room was clean but the bathroom could have been cleaner. The shower head was so clogged there was only a trickle of water coming down, but to their credit when I complained the hotel fixed it right away. There is no complimentary water in the room, one must buy it at the restaurant for US$2 equivalent for 1.5l. Wi-Fi is weak, and it is only included in the room for 3 days. After the 3 days you must buy additional GB at high price (or buy from the telecom company and use your cellphone as hotspot). The beach and the waterfront is generally dirty and the water is not very attractive, probably due to the activity on the wharf next door. The pool was not open to the public during my stay, no explanation given, just a sign. The ‘’buffet’’ breakfast (not included in the room) is quite expensive and frankly not very good.
