Honiara Gastfamilien

Beim Einchecken bezahlten wir Bargeld in SBD (lokale Währung) für unser Zimmer, obwohl unsere Booking.com Rechnung zitiert USD und AUD. Es war nur, wenn ich ins Zimmer kam, dass sie mich überladen. Ich hatte vorher auf Booking.com reserviert, hatte gelöscht und später zu einem niedrigeren Preis wieder reserviert. Sie hatten mir den vorherigen Buchungsbetrag gezahlt und es gab einen Unterschied von etwa $490 SBD. Ich ging zum Vordertafel, um es zu sortieren und es dauerte fast eine Stunde, um es zu lösen, dann, wenn wir es ausgearbeitet hatten, sagten sie, sie hätten keinen Zugang zum Bargeldschirm mehr, dass ich am nächsten Tag zurückkommen müsste. Ich hatte sie mir einen Eingang für den zu zahlenden Erstattungsbetrag zu geben. Am nächsten Morgen musste ich dreimal auf den Vorderbüro kommen und alles wieder herauszufinden, obwohl die Höhe der Überzahlung bereits vor der Nacht gelöst worden war. Ein Verschwendung von fast zwei Stunden meines Urlaubs aufgrund ihres Fehlers. Das Zimmer selbst war sauber, obwohl das Bett ziemlich klein war, schien sogar kleiner als eine Standard-Vollgröße-Matrix. Das Restaurant war überraschend teuer, nahe dem, was wir in Seattle für ähnliche Lebensmittel zahlen würden. Sie befinden sich auf der westlichen Seite der Stadt, so dass Sie zu gehen, um zu etwas mehr im Zentrum von Honiara (Restaurants, Museum, Einkaufen, etc.).

Beautiful hotel, friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were clean and well kept. Good location, ocean facing. Pool looked welcoming but being near the Splash bar meant you were sometimes swimming with people around. Beautiful green gardens all around. Food at the restaurant was okay, preferred to go to other places to eat, and the gym felt quite ”enclosed”. But all in all I would recommend for their cleanliness, hospitality and being well-maintained.

Stayed for two weeks in May-June 2023. Positive: -- extremely central location, walking distance to almost everything (Honiara is not very big) -- super friendly and helpful staff -- the bento box in the Japanese restaurant is surprisingly good -- powerful air conditioning, which you will appreciate after a day in Honiara -- has a generator for when the power goes off (which happens) Neutral: -- has all the basics: refrigerator, aircon, TV all worked fine -- no issues with cleanliness, maid service every day -- no issues with water pressure or heat -- swimming pool is small but clean, I did laps there most nights with no problems -- laundry service is pricey but otoh is lightning fast: my laundry came back ironed in well under 24 hours -- make sure your door is firmly closed or you'll get mosquitos Negative: -- wi-fi is bad: slow, sometimes drops, and charges you extra for use beyond 100 MB /day. If you can, get a local SIM card and hotspot off that. It's cheaper and faster. -- breakfast is not free and is pretty miserable. It's 100 SBD (about US $13) for corn flakes, stale bread, coffee, and fruit. The fruit is fresh and local but that's about all I can say for it. After a few days I just started going next door to the Breakwater Cafe, which gives a much nicer array of breakfast offerings for about the same price. -- there's a club next door, which can be loud on weekends. It didn't bother me but if you're sensitive to that sort of thing, be aware. -- there's a small beach right behind the hotel... which is covered with trash. You probably wouldn't want to swim there anyway (the Mendana is in the middle of town and very near the port) but it's nasty to look out your window at a garbage-strewn beach. Surely this could be fixed? -- no exercise room Basically this is the medium-price hotel in Honiara. The Heritage and Coral Sea are nicer but more expensive (usually -- prices in Honiara can fluctuate a lot). I found the Mendana perfectly okay. The only major negative was the wifi. Fix that and I'd give back half a star.

Dieser Ort ist wirklich wirklich gut. Ich buchte es, weil eins super günstig, vielleicht billigste in Honiara und zweites es in einer zentralen Lage. Ein Supermarkt, Telekom und Restaurants sind alle in Fußgängerabstand. Das Personal war super hilfreich, vor allem die Damen, die mich eincheckten, Turkena und ihre Kollegin. Sie halfen mir mit meiner Sim-Karte. Ich hatte meine Schlüssel falsch gestellt und meine Aufenthaltsdaten waren verändert und sie waren super empathisch darüber und halfen mir raus. Ich würde einfach hier bleiben, ich meine, 90 Dollar pro Nacht in einer zentralen Lage ist ein Verkauf!
