Detailed Reviews
Meals in dinner and breakfast covered in the bookings backed up with complimentary laundry is unbeatable value for a premier hotel in the heart of kokopo town, ENB Province. The conference package that came with its own personal attendant Mr Dicky Poutia was a great experience in hospitality to the highest order. Well done GI you're setting the trend for service and value in the hospitality and hoteliers industry for PNG.

Found the Gazelle to be a pleasant tropical clean & well maintained property. Spacious rooms & public areas. Bed was comfortable, wifi good & reliable.
Due to my work commitments, I wasn't able to enjoy a meal here (except an omelette), but other guests at the time spoke very well of the restauarnt meals.
I found the coffee and service was very very good.
Look forward to my next visit to Rabaul - I'll stay here for sure!

We were attended to by Dicky Poutia for the duration of our 2 day workshop and he was presentable, approachable and very professional. He introduced himself on the first day and made sure the rooms were ready and all meals served on time. We commend him for the excellent customer service and overall friendliness.

A terrific venue for meetings and conferences. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food is also great - both local and western dishes (generous portions too). The welcome dinner held during our stay was very well coordinated thanks to Dicky and his team.

We recently stayed at the Gazelle International Hotel for business and had the pleasure of being taken care of by the beautiful staff.
Louis the General Manager of the Hotel is extremely accommodating and will ensure that your stay at the hotel is comfortable and memorable. He walks the floor at anytime of the day ensuring the comfort of his guests.
Another outstanding feature of the hotel is the vivacious Dicky Poutia. Dicky is an ALL-STAR staff who is OUTSTANDING! Please ask for Dicky if you need help with anything and you will be in good hands.
Food is delicious, the surrounds are immaculate, and the views of the waters and nearly Ralum golf course is breathtaking.

The Hotel displayed excellent customer services through its wonderful employees. I rate that the smiles and hospitality of the staff towards the customers are beyond the level of service I'd ever got from other hotels in PNG. The hotel has all the amenities for clients - we were able to host a monetary policy conference without any technical issue. In particular, the customer service displayed by Mr. Dicky Pouta was superb - he was able our conference flowed smoothly with all the services. If you are one looking to host business conference in Kokopo, I highly recommend GIH.

The service offered for our 2 days zoom conference which was hosted by the Asia Events Group in Indonesia was on point. The fact that there was a 3 hours time difference between PNG and Indonesia did not stop the fantastic service provided by the Hotel attendees from the technical staff in charge of the IT, sound system, projectors, the kitchen guys. They were sharp and delivered well and made our long hours comfortable and we enjoyed our meeting. Special thank you to Mr. Dicky Poutia who was very hospitable and welcoming who stayed with us until we finished at 8:30 pm PNG time 5:30 pm .
