Our room was a King size Tower and was excellent - large, clean, hot water etc. Staff were excellent, friendly professional and so on. Location was good for visiting Parliament House, the museum etc. Excellent breakfast - average evening meal. However, hotel was very expensive for what you get. But what spoiled it was the building site next to the... More

After reading other reviews I wasn't sure what to expect of this hotel. I was pleasantly surprised by the professionalism of the staff and the cleanliness of the room. Some areas of the hotel look a bit tired but you get that just about anywhere. One small concern I had (given the security issues in PNG) was the fact that... More

I have resided at the HI since August 2012 with a few breaks so I have a very good understanding of how things work, or more to the point how they don't work. This is a 2, maybe 2 and a half star hotel that charges 5 star tariffs. At around AUD $450 per night there is a whole bunch... More

The Holiday Inn, hit and miss....sometimes you get a good stay, sometimes not. The Not stays: The room that smelt like someone had jammed a bag of long dead prawns (that's shrimps to our US cousins) into the air conditioner. Phew, had to bail from that room. The room on the floor in between two floors of renovations. For that... More

Honestly, there are days when I wonder why I'm paying $350 a night at this hotel. But then I put it into perspective - horrible value by international standards but excellent by PNG standards. I've spent in excess of 6 months in the HI over the past year and it is still my preferred address in POM. The rooms are... More

I stayed at the Holiday Inn for 15 nights in February and early March 2013. First, the good things: i) the staff are very pleasant and helpful especially in the restaurant; ii) Tim, the manager, responded very promptly to my complaints when they were finally brought to his attention and they were dealt with. Now, the bad things: i) the... More

I travel to PNG on business about twice a year and normally stay at Airways but opted for Holiday Inn this trip as it was very close to the office I was visiting. I heeded advice in TripAdvisor reviews and requested a tower room. Reception staff were friendly and very professional, check in was painless. Porter was on the ball... More

The staff were very obliging and helpful but the hotel is showing its age. There is a new tower under construction so that will help. The security ( important in PNG) is quite good. The restaurant is average but good quality. Make sure you get a room where the aircon works which was not the case in the garden rooms.

Yes, it is overpriced but all hotels in Port Moresby are. At least rooms are clean and there are plenty of good quality towels and sheets. Bottled water supplied every day (something hotels like New Papua do not provide). Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I agree tower is preferable to older part of hotel (provided you are not facing... More
