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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Place needs a real makeover. Just walking to my room up the stairs was unsafe as the timber steps looked and felted like they were going to break under my 90kg weight. Room smelled of mildew and was moist. Shower was filthy with black mold on tiled walls and the vanity needed replacing. TV reception was poor.

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.

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.
