Find Hotels in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea

On arrival at Jackson airport the hotel bus had already left without me,.. when I eventually arrived at hotel I found out that there was NO reservation for me although I had booked thru AGODA a few weeks prior,.. eventually after about 30 minutes they found me a room,.. hotel rooms are shabby and need of a refurb,.. breakfast selection is overcooked and pitiful,.. lunch buffet is very disappointing as is evening dinner food,.. very overpriced for what it is,.. this used to be the Premier Hotel in Port Moresby,.. sadly not anymore, there are many other new hotels now and so I will not even consider Grand Papua again nor even think of recommending it..

Over the past two years, I have been a regular guest at the Holiday Inn Express in Port Moresby, and often eat at the Holiday Inn Kopi Haus restaurant. I have always found the food quality to be poor, but on my most recent stay, I was particularly disappointed. I was served a piece of fish that was so rubbery that I could not cut through it with a knife. This fish appeared to be old and defrosted, not the fresh Barramundi that I had ordered from the menu. Concerned about food poisoning, I asked for a replacement meal. The wait staff, who were very kind and helpful, suggested that I might order the Catch of the Day instead. You would assume that the "catch of the day" comes fresh, however, when it arrived at my table, it was the same, rubbery old fish, coated in batter. The price of the meals at Kopi Haus is exorbitant, equivalent to what you would pay for meal in a decent restaurant in Brisbane, so I would expect much higher food standards. In my travels to the provinces in Papua New Guinea, I have always found it easy to find delicious, fresh and cheap local seafood at markets and local food stalls, so I simply don't understand why the quality of the meals at the Holiday Inn is so poor. It is clear that the restaurant is cutting costs, while guests continue to pay premium price. The customer service at the hotel itself is wonderful, and the staff are lovely, so I will happily stay there again on my next visit to Port Moresby, however, I will not risk food poisoning or wasting my money at the Kopi Haus restaurant again, and I suggest that others avoid it also until standards are dramatically improved.

I booked online and gave every detail possible to ensure smooth travel. Disappointingly, I was stranded at 7 pm. Contacts provided where unreliable so as the toll free number at the information booth. I ended up taking a cab even though i knew the risk. Got to the hotel only to find out their contacts were useless and I wasn't reserved a room. Credit to the Front office lady who secured a room. however, no hot water. It was a very frustrating experience. Food was average considering the price. Apart from it, i like the spacious rooms, surroundings and the gym was amazing. As for recommendation, i really don't know.

It didn't feel like hotel but more like tranquil oasis. Placed strategically, so you can easily walk to local market and interact with locals on the way. I was impressed with their food options and the quality was amazing. Perfect spot for peace and quiet, reading and unwinding. Internet was super slow but I guess you don't need it anyway. Very warm and welcoming staff too!

Been to many hotels, resorts and spas be it in Europe, Korea or SEA countries, I would say this is definitely among the best. During this period, I had stayed for 3 nights in another hotel in Ports Moresby and thus, I am able to compare both of them. They gave the five star welcome and airport pick ups (complimentary airport drops and pick ups). Delicious breakfast (make to order). They do have a mini bird park for guests and visitors to check out some of the birds in PNG. Due to my busy business schedule, it does help me to have a little bits of information about birds of paradise in PNG. I even had the chance to feed the birds ! 5 thumbs up and definitely will come again !

This was a very pleasant, quiet, comfortable and safe stay for us. The apartments are a bit old fashioned but they are very spacious and comfortable. The staff are terrific. Winnie is the onsite manager and makes herself available anytime if there's a problem. The other staff are also friendly and available. The location is very good being in town. This is not a holiday resort, but for somewhere to stay with a family or two people for an extended period when you have something to do during your stay it is very suitable.
