Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers recently updated rooms with new furniture but encountered issues like a broken key card jammed in the lock and a shower that left much to be desired. The moldy ceiling was a downside. However, the location is great in the center of Honiara with close proximity to the town center and local amenities.
