We were only here for a night, so probably can’t give the most well-rounded review. In summary, it was fine. The staff were really friendly and super helpful. The room and general building was fine, clean, but generally looking a bit tired. This could be partly due to nearby construction and a significant earthquake last year. The AC worked really well, however the water supply cut out for a period early in the morning.

Staff lovely, room comfortable and clean, check in / check out great, location great. WIFI slow and unreliable (restricted to 5 mbps / drops out), bar and dining close very early, free breakfast awful, with additional charge for what would be considered standard included breakfast elsewhere. Mid range property, slightly overpriced and in need of renovation. Street noise can get bad. No lifts.

Nice and cozy room. Spacious Bathroom. Lighting should be better. The lack of an elevator could be a problem for travelers with heavy luggage. Breakfast was included in the rate, but their offer is minimal. If you want ham or bacon for your egg, you need to pay extra...

Staff were super lovely: friendly and helpful. Attached tour desk was limited to expensive experiences, so would recommend reaching further afield to book tours, but the hotel did loan us some snorkelling gear for the days we wanted to self explore. Would recommend.

Great place to stay!

Everything worked like clockwork. We left some of our luggage 1 week ahead of our stay as we were flying to other islands and there were restrictions on the amount of luggage. The Melanesian hotel allowed us to store our luggage until our arrival! That’s great customer service. The room was clean, large, and comfortable!
