We had a good stay our room was huge comfy bed very clean. Some things could do with a little TLC, and a couple extra utilities etc in the kitchen would be handy. Breakfst was pretty good a very handy option without having to go out in the morning everything was kept full which was awesome. A bit of customer training on the front desk could be a thort just intitial greeting guests etc. But overall our stay was enjoyable.

Over all a good place to stay. Staff gave us the wrong room that was already occupied. The occupant freaked out when she saw us. Front counter staff didn't even apologize for their mistake which i thought was unprofessional. Our room had a kitchenette but no cutlery or plates, no microwave, would have been better if these utensils and appliances were available. A clean, well kept facility, room serviced to a really good standard. Regards.

Arawa has the potential to be a great hotel, compared to most in the area. It is dated, but has the large corridoors, large and grand dinning area, bar, and lobby areas, but lack decor, more art work on display like major large size d hotles have. Its bare basic, bordering on bland, not even music playing low in the back ground as you enter and walk around the halls.
