Staff could not manage my room booking... and looked really lost... competency pretty low... Room itself is holding together... but only just.. Nearly died as i slipped on the... More

At over AUD$300 per night you would expect much more. Filthy rooms where lights don't work and power sockets hanging out of the wall. A death trap. Service is ok but everything about this hotel is overpriced. Don't stay here.

as for me I can say-no experience with broken A/C in apartment unit. Staff are friendly, but everybody has to bear in mind that this is 3rd world country and therefore you can expect some misunderstandings even though staff here are trained (second problem is fluctuation of employees in PNG itself-one day they will work just fine and then they...
