Hotel rooms are dated but kept very clean. Cleaning staff is great, restaurant and bar staff are great. In a good area of town, only downsides are there is only wifi in the bar / lobby.

The rooms are clean and enjoyed hot water for a shower. Walking distance from the wharf and cafes. The hotel needs maintenance- our toilet seat was broken. The cable car also needs the control buttons inside the car serviced.

King Sol makes you feel at home while in Honiara. Conveniently located in town centre, allows you to explore all that Honiara has to offer. The housekeeping and restaurant staff in particular are friendly and do an amazing job. Also...the BEST pizza in the Solomon Islands!

Cheap and cheerful with good food

We stayed for 4 nights. The place is more cheap and cheerful than luxurious, but the bed was comfy and the room was adequate for our needs. A few things needed fixing, but they gixed them quickly. And the food was really good, especially the wood-fired pizza.

Room was very basic and needed a proper scrubbing. Hotel needs a lot of refurbishing - when it rains water is leaking in hallways and you can hear it in the room. Cable car had faults as well. No free internet in the room, only in lobby. Food nothing special in the restaurant. Staff is very friendly though.

Conveniently located with a nice pool. Room was massive. The lift was working, thank goodness, because our room was in the final building up the hill. The water went off sometimes in the evenings, but we just had to delay our showers. Will stay here again

The 2 stars are primarily for the amazing live polynesian dancing performance at the restaurant on the Friday night we stayed. The dancers were so energetic and fun! The hotel location is also very good. I had a poor experience otherwise. In particular, the gym was truly abominable and the pool (much needed in the Honiara heat) was out of order during the first of 2 bookings I had made with no prior notice. When I requested to cancel my 2nd booking with a refund due to the facilities advertised not being available, the management refused. Really disappointing. The rooms are basic and ok for the price, but the bathroom could be cleaner.

The property is dusty in the front areas, and no Airconditioning in the lobby and dining areas. A lot of time was waisted waiting on the lift. The conference room was below average and meals were the same every day even though we requested changes. The staff was hospitable and helpful as possible. The property was something special in its hay day for sure. Carvings, engravings and decor are impressive.

Good value in low competition place

Friendly front desk, comfortable large room on the "top" floor reachable by funky funicular or 150 or so steps. Some dripping water issues in bathroom, and TV largely decorative, but a/c worked well and room even had a fridge and microwave. Could have provided bottle of water. By Solomon standards, fairly good value for money. Restaurant also good, if service a bit fumbling.

Although the staff were very nice and helpful, the hotel looks nothing like many of the photos posted online and the rooms, infrastructure, and furnishings are all old and worn out when they're available. A bunch of friends and I stayed at King Solomon, so we were able to compare rooms. Most of the rooms at King Solomon have very limited furnishings that included only a bed and a night stand. All of the rooms had some combination of missing furniture and typical room amenities and/or things that were not working. I switched rooms because the air conditioner didn't work and one of my friends changed rooms because none of the lights would turn on in her room. The TVs and cable in most of the rooms didn't work. The bathrooms that were not recently updated which is most, were dirty and worn. Dripping showers were an issue for many that kept them up. Things missing in rooms included toilet paper holders. soap dishes in the showers, mirrors of any kind, closets or drawers to put clothes, towels, and some times room keys (which we had to pick up after they had cut some new ones at the hardware store). The website also doesn't tell you that most of the hotel and rooms are built on a hillside which are only accessible by confusing stairs and a funicular when it was working. To add to it all, a good portion of the hotel was being renovated during our stay including around the pool area which prevented us from using the pool. For $110/night before taxes, not worth it.

We have lived and worked in the Pacific Islands for 34 years, so we’ve had many opportunities for stays in the various countries of the Pacific. While the people of Honiara are very kind, the city is not as enjoyable, due to the incredible traffic, dusty streets, and unimaginable construction of large buildings from foreign investments. Even so, the King Solomon Hotel was a very pleasant respite from all the negatives of the city. The staff (front desk, housekeeping, restaurant, and maintenance) were all very helpful and kind, with each doing their work very well. Next, the price per night offered value for the large bedrooms and housekeeping did an outstanding job of cleaning the room daily during our 9 day stay. The resturant’s food was delicious. (breakfast & lunch) and those working in the restaurant were very enjoyable and willing to help in any way needed. Prices at the restaurant are moderate. The front desk employees would never miss greeting guests as they would come & go. Our room was spacious and included a balcony. The AC worked very well with the daily hot temperatures outside. Again, we are regular visitors to the Solomon Islands…..and we look forward to again staying at King Solomon Hotel!

How to really rate this hotel because it is in a surprisingly disappointingly dirty country period the Solomon people are great, but the roads suck, infrastructure run down, the entire island wherever the population lives isn't trashed dump. Not much tourism in the island, is no one does anything to promote it. They do not have shuttle service free or otherwise to the airport comma so you might want to hire a taxi. The property needs renovation, and when asked about electric convertors since they have no US receptacles. So until I could get to a hardware store to buy some, I used the base of the coffee pot to put my phone charger into. The prongs out of my male plug fit into the coffee maker base just ducky. It worked. But wifi is only free in the lobby. And there is no elevator. Instead since it is built up a hillside, they have an old Australian cable car. How cool is that * Convenient location and a lot of things and places period

I have very mixed feelings but all things considered, I would stay there again. First the good: iumitoursolomons@gmail.com is great. Keren, the tour operator, picks you up and drops you back there. I used her to go snorkeling on the sunken wrecks, all around the WW II sites, and for my return to the airport. She provided a small lunch, water, but most of all, trustworthiness. I could not recommend her any higher. Back to other hotel positives: bed, micro, fridge, teapot, and A/C all excellent. Pizza and fish and chips in restaurant great. Now negatives: as unique as the tram to your floor is, it's slow. It's a very old hotel, hanging on as best as it can. The price is much cheaper than most other hotels in Honiara. First room had terrible A/C and when I asked to move, no problem. The only internet is down in the lobby with no A/C. Same as restaurant. You can pay extra to have internet in your room, but I find that petty and annoying. There was no hot water in the room, and the shower had a constant drip. No breakfast included, nor do they have airport pick up, but the airport is well organized and you know the fare before getting in the taxi. No bottled water was in the room, and the reading lamp above the bed was missing the bulb. Like I said, for all things considered, I would stay there again, knowing it's an old hotel with quirks, is safe, has good food, restful sleep, and an excellent tour guide, Keren. Be tolerant and save money here.

Setting the Record Straight

Overall pleasantly surprised with my stay. Yes, there are bugs. But it's the tropics. Hardly the hotel's fault. But I wanted to directly address two of the most common negative complaints I read in several online reviews. Wi-fi. Good wi-fi is available everywhere on the property. The confusion comes from what's free and what isn't. Free wi-fi is only accessible from the reception area. It's slow and often drops. But saying the hotel's wi-fi sucks or isn't available in the rooms is flat out wrong. There is a very fast paid wi-fi option that is accessible everywhere, including the most remote rooms. Connection was stable for my entire 3-day stay. Paid wi-fi rates are quite reasonable, and you pay less per day the longer you stay. A one day wi-fi pass is 6.50 USD. A three day pass is 5 USD a day. Cablecar. The hotel is built into a steep hillside with the lobby at street level and the rooms above the lobby in several tiers along the cliff. There is a quaint cablecar that goes up and down the hill on a metal track so you don't have to climb the steep steps if you don't want to. Lots of people complain that the cable car doesn't work. It does, but it takes some effort and attention to figure out how to get it to go. Several times I saw other hotel guests walk away in annoyance, complaining how it doesn't work as they begin the hike up the hill to their rooms. I step up and try it and it works just fine. Ask the hotel staff instead of trying to figure it out on your own.
