Best in Honiara, but not great
Pretty much a monopoly property if you need more than two stars in Honiara. Like a rather pared down Holiday Inn in the USA, but with prices about three times higher. Staff is friendly, but sometimes Solomons shy. Rooms are small but generally functional, although hot water scarce on my final stay.

This hotel was recommended by Austrade. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Internet and electricity are reliable here. We can do currency exchange at reception or through the ANZ ATM. I will stay again if I come here for another time.

Very nice property. Excellent security on the grounds. Good restaurant with varied menu. Loved the pool and harbor side views. Honiara accommodations can be challenging but this property is up toUSA standards. I had a group of 3 rooms and everyone was pleased. We stayed for 4 days before leaving on the Bilikki for a ten day live aboard dive trip and it was a great way to recover from jet lag, do some shopping and see the war memorials around town. We would book here again.

Awful
I attempted to stay here but the airlines cancelled my flight due to weight of fuel and cargo so a few of us could not board. I contacted the hotel since this is an issue that I now know happens a lot and no assistance they charged not only for one night but my whole stay!!!! I would not recommend since you never can control what the airline does if they won’t make an exception!!!!

Decent hotel. Friendly staff, clean comfortable.
Hotel was clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Service was slow and inefficient in the restaurant- the wait staff was pleasant and well intentioned, just did not seem to have a good grasp of customer service. The room was clean and comfortable. The grounds were well kept up. The pool was nice. The local area was sketchy, I didn't feel much like venturing out on foot to explore. Overall a decent hotel, and better than the alternatives that I saw.

Reasonable location for short stay. More suited for business purposes than leisure. Staff very helpful but like most western style places in Honiara food and beverages are expensive. Pool is lovely but hard to relax during lunch or happy hour with people ds dining and drinking around it while you swim. Dining on waterfront is quite relaxing and staff attentive.

Very nice hotel
We spent 6 days at this hotel in December and we had a very pleasant stay. Friendly and helpful staff, lovely and well kept gardens, a clean and comfortable room, a relaxing pool area with bar and seating right next to the sea (no real beach, but swimming is not advisable in any case). Wi-fi worked well. The food offering was a bit limited perhaps, but it was good and we enjoyed every meal. The hotel is in walking distance of the museum and the town centre. Overall we would recomend this hotel: an oasis in Honiara.

Great views over Ironbottom Sound to Savo Island and Florida (aka Nggela) Island - if you are interested in the naval and land battles of Guadalcanal in WW2. The hotel runs tours to some of the important sites, but they are too superficial and way over-priced if you have a real interest in the battles . Better to arrange a program with a local specialist.

End of cruise
The Heritage is the best hotel in Honiara, Soloman Islands. It is conveniently located near the downtown and seaport. The ocean front pool picks up a nice breeze in this very hot climate. We stayed in building number 3 with an ocean view balcony, very pleasant. The hotel is about a half an hour from the airport with a taxi fare of only about $15. There is no elevator to the third floor but they do have porters to carry your luggage up and down.

This is probably one of the very few world class hotels in Honiara. Nice room, with a nice view on the ocean. Only downside is the lack of diversity in breakfast and food menu.

Serenely calm hotel mid Honiara chaos
Heritage Park is a modern hotel consisting of a number of independent buildings on the harbour edge in Honiara. My room was functional, plain and very comfortable, air conditioned and with a balcony overlooking "Iron-bottom Sound" (the harbour full of the wrecks of the naval Battle of Guadalcanal.) The "beach" is not very usable but the swimming pool (with attached bar) is. There is an excellent (if expensive) dining-room -- you can either sit in air-conditioned comfort or 'al fresco'. Staff are very anxious to please in the Solomon Islander way. The grounds are manicured and the hotel offers many more services (e.g. conferencing) than the ordinary tourist needs.
