Conviently located, spacious rooms and worth the price, the only downside was that hotel guests and party goers use the same entrance especially when a party or entertainment is on - fridays and saturdays.

It is a charming facility with nice rooms that are maintained as well as the staff can manage without updates. If you are on a higher level and the cable car isn’t working it can be very difficult to get to the top levels.

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.

Decent choice in Honiara

Centrally located. Rooms are pleasant, with funicular to get up and down. Service indifferent at times and no entertainment (in contrast with publicity materials in the rooms). No free wifi in the rooms. Pool attractive. If small. Price better than other quality options.

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.

The hotel consists of many cottages built on a steep hill. You can go to your room using stairs but you can also use a cable car. I believe it is the only "railway" in the country. The A/C in the room was not strong enough to cool down the terrible heat. If you require a nice and cool place to have a rest and sleep, you should stay in a better and pricier hotels located nearby.

We booked the hotel on the rate with breakfast included but the staff said it is not included. A lot of ants in the room. No hot water. When we checked out, the rate on the invoice is different from the rate we got from expedia. Terrible experience.

Very interesting funicular that’s used an elevator because of the steep elevation on which the hotel sits— it’s quite cool! But it’s not easy to use. It’s slow and creeky, not as efficient as walking, especially when you have to wait for it. Got bed bugs from the incredibly bland and uncomfortable, budget room. Had no taste, less frills than a fourth grade substitute teacher. Staff were wonderful and made up for the bed bugs and the other room stuff. Was hideously expensive considering the guest experience, but local, cute, and has potential. Clean the sheets and I’ll return.

Spacious but spartan and dated

There's no internet access in the rooms - only in the lobby, where there's no AC - and it's so slow as to be unusable anyway. Many web pages won't load properly due to timeouts. Downloading anything non-trivial - even just some ebooks - is impossible. The Seaview room was… sufficient. The hotel is back from the water, up on a hill - and the water isn't much to look at anyway. No sandy beaches or palm trees, but rather industrial and polluted. The room had AC but also crappy shutter-style windows that didn't close properly, so there was a bit of leakage of the cool air. There were a lot of sugar ants around the room, and they got into all my luggage. They're largely harmless, provided they don't nest in any of your belongings. The cable car that serves as the elevator, essentially, is slow and unreliable. There are stairs as an alternative but in the high humidity you really don't want to use those, especially while carrying luggage. There's essentially nothing of interest around the hotel. A few local markets and precious few restaurants. Overall it was tolerable for one night but I was pretty much bored stupid.

Love the simple quirkiness of the hotel. I hope it stays the way it is and maintains its character. Small suggestions to bring it up to aexpectations: employ a plumber to fix drips; change batteries in all appliances regularly

Although the staff were very nice and tried their best, the hotel is much older than the photos show and the rooms all have issues from appliances that don't work, power issues in the rooms, dripping shower faucets, old furniture and appliances, air conditioners that don't work, and just a lack of basic furniture and other amenities in the rooms. A bunch of friends and I all stayed at this hotel, so we were able to compare rooms. Many did not having working tvs or cable, some rooms had no furniture other than a bed and night table, and several rooms lacked basic things in the bathroom like a toilet paper holder, a soap dish in the shower, and a mirror in the room anywhere. Also, the rooms are on a hillside any many are only accessible by either a long climb on a confusing stairway or a funicular that malfunctioned often.

Avoid!

The build is not too bad, the lift is very interesting and the pool was nice. Would I ever be back here? No! If you want to be robbed this is the place, money and clothes disappear from my room. I am soo angry with myself for trust this place!
