Facilities are run down but pricey

The Stagg were super helpful with finding options in town

I did not like the lack of soap in the restaurant bathroom (chef didn't wash hands). I didn't like the very outdated and poor quality rooms. Food was absolute rubbish, and no chance I would ever recommend.

I liked the idea of the King Solomon hotel. Reasonable price, reasonable location. Air conditioning effective in the rooms.

Last minute booking Room organised before you get there. Very efficient. Poolside is gorgeous for a swim.

The very loud, live music from midnight to 2.00am on the Thursday before the long weekend - (apparently it is normally Friday nights )

Breakfast is excellent. The rooms are basic but clean, with good air-conditioning and fans. The staff are friendly and very helpful.

THE WORST hotel experience we’ve ever had! (And we are seasoned budget travellers who have put up with some dodgy rooms in the past) First day we arrive, no toilet paper in the room and only 1 towel for a room that has a queen and a single bed. Second day, housekeeping knocks and before we can answer the door, they’re gone. They don’t come back that day so no towels or toilet paper again. Third day, housekeeping comes, we get toilet paper (yay) they take the single towel and then don’t replace it so now we have no towels at all. I generally have a “you get what you pay for” attitude but call me crazy, I expect even the cheapest hotels to provide toilet paper at least! I suppose we could have walked back down then up the 4 flights of stairs to ask reception for towels at 10pm at night when we got back. On the last night I actually did otherwise no shower for us! Staff were completely unapologetic. The cable car was slow, unreliable, at times under maintenance, and other times had a piercing alarm going off. Also, we paid for 3days of internet which we expected to be for access for our room. NOPE, 1 device only! Then on day 2 when we showed them that my phone had broken that day (the 1 device that was connected to the internet we paid for) they refused to allow us to connect another device or give us a new code so we weren’t even able to use the service we paid them for. On top of all this, the hotel asked us to drop keys at the counter before going out (weird but fine by us). We dropped our keys in the morning, reception had a shift change, then that evening we asked for the key to our room from someone behind the desk we’d never seen before. They just handed them over without double checking who we were or anything! Needless to say, we stored anything of value in our friend’s hotel room at the Heritage. The aircon was also lacking a remote (I had to stand on a chair to reach the button to turn it on), it made weird noises, and was duct-taped together.

People walking in from the streets to hotel rooms. Improve fencing or security checks to prevent unwanted guests.

Clean and value for money. Nice location close to city centre.

I always stay at the King Sol when I go to Honiara. I keep my expectations realistic, especially after the pandemic, however it’s clear from my last few trips that the owners are not keeping up with maintenance. The lift has been broken for 12 months, our room had a rat problem, they really need to pick up their game.

Room could be renovated a bit, place of the hotel in not on the beach/seaside, but that is not the problem since it is 5 min walk... Beaches can be reached by taxi or by local crowded buses. Wifi is available only at the hotel lobby.

Hotel is one of very few hotels at Honiara. So, it is not luxury hotel, but considering that there is no many options to stay in Honiara, that hotel is very good. It is maybe a bit more expensive concerning the room shape, but as said - not many places to choose... It is safe, cable car ride from reception to the hotel levels is very unique, and hotel have options for meals... Again, Honiara is not developed in touristic terms, so not many restaurants around to choose, better to eat in the hotel... Hotel to stay for few nights.

Not much. The King Sol met my needs. We were allocated rooms over the pool on day two by request which were great. Also much better for our group of three to be together.

Breakfasts excellent (Thanks Lorna) Dinners also excellent in hotel's restaurant Room serviced daily. Very clean (Thanks Beauty) Wifi in foyer. Fridge, a/c, and fan all worked. I like the friendly staff and the character of King Sols. The cable car is a classic.

The pool looked stagnant and unswimmable. The lift to the rooms didn't work which made dragging bags up and down the hill hard.

No WiFi in rooms. Very worn rooms. Towels had holes and were worn. WiFi was only available in reception area, was weak, and rarely had connection (but reception at other local hotels was fine).

Good AC and cold refrigerator. Room was large.

The pool was out of order for ‘maintenance’ Aircon doesn’t work and leaks Bathroom door doesn’t close or move Cupboards were falling apart Tv didn’t work and we were told there are no remotes left Wifi was only available in lobby and was poor strength Funicular doesn’t work properly leaving us trapped inside Shower dripping and full of dead and alive mosquitoes 2am disco on Friday that can be heard throughout the hotel very clearly Mould all over the ceiling

This hotel was terrible, we’re supposed to stay for 8 days but left first thing the morning after we checked in.
