Rooms are old and a bit tired, food was excellent. Look forward to when the hotel is fully renovated.
Hotel rooms are dated but kept very clean. Cleaning staff is great, restaurant and bar staff are great. In a good area of town, only downsides are there is only wifi in the bar / lobby.
Room didn’t have running hot water.
No in-room wifi
Wild dog and cats lingering in and around the premises including outside rooms.
Hotel foyer and general outlook of hotel is in a state of disrepair and upkeep.
Not enough lighting in the rooms.
Towels and bedsheet had stains.
No in-room phone to call reception or outside line
Hotel staff were courteous.

The restaurant had great and good valuable breakfast but dinner sadly is a big rip off
The rooms are clean and enjoyed hot water for a shower. Walking distance from the wharf and cafes. The hotel needs maintenance- our toilet seat was broken. The cable car also needs the control buttons inside the car serviced.

Cheap and cheerful
Stayed for a few days. It's cheap and cheerful but the restaurant is good and the staff are helpful.
We liked the Friday night pizza special and also the Solomon Island dancers on the Friday night as well. They were very good. Staff were very friendly.
King Sol makes you feel at home while in Honiara. Conveniently located in town centre, allows you to explore all that Honiara has to offer. The housekeeping and restaurant staff in particular are friendly and do an amazing job. Also...the BEST pizza in the Solomon Islands!
I enjoyed staying at the Solomon King for one week. The staff was kind. I worried that the monorail was old and would stop moving at some point.

Compared to other accommodation this was affordable, comfortable and safe. Close to town. Nothing fancy but did the job and felt like a genuine Honiara experience

Cheap and cheerful with good food
We stayed for 4 nights. The place is more cheap and cheerful than luxurious, but the bed was comfy and the room was adequate for our needs. A few things needed fixing, but they gixed them quickly. And the food was really good, especially the wood-fired pizza.
Room was very basic and needed a proper scrubbing. Hotel needs a lot of refurbishing - when it rains water is leaking in hallways and you can hear it in the room. Cable car had faults as well. No free internet in the room, only in lobby. Food nothing special in the restaurant. Staff is very friendly though.
Conveniently located with a nice pool. Room was massive. The lift was working, thank goodness, because our room was in the final building up the hill. The water went off sometimes in the evenings, but we just had to delay our showers. Will stay here again

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The property is dusty in the front areas, and no Airconditioning in the lobby and dining areas. A lot of time was waisted waiting on the lift.
The conference room was below average and meals were the same every day even though we requested changes. The staff was hospitable and helpful as possible.
The property was something special in its hay day for sure. Carvings, engravings and decor are impressive.
The 2 stars are primarily for the amazing live polynesian dancing performance at the restaurant on the Friday night we stayed. The dancers were so energetic and fun! The hotel location is also very good.
I had a poor experience otherwise. In particular, the gym was truly abominable and the pool (much needed in the Honiara heat) was out of order during the first of 2 bookings I had made with no prior notice. When I requested to cancel my 2nd booking with a refund due to the facilities advertised not being available, the management refused. Really disappointing.
The rooms are basic and ok for the price, but the bathroom could be cleaner.

Good value in low competition place
Friendly front desk, comfortable large room on the "top" floor reachable by funky funicular or 150 or so steps. Some dripping water issues in bathroom, and TV largely decorative, but a/c worked well and room even had a fridge and microwave. Could have provided bottle of water. By Solomon standards, fairly good value for money. Restaurant also good, if service a bit fumbling.
Although the staff were very nice and helpful, the hotel looks nothing like many of the photos posted online and the rooms, infrastructure, and furnishings are all old and worn out when they're available. A bunch of friends and I stayed at King Solomon, so we were able to compare rooms. Most of the rooms at King Solomon have very limited furnishings that included only a bed and a night stand. All of the rooms had some combination of missing furniture and typical room amenities and/or things that were not working. I switched rooms because the air conditioner didn't work and one of my friends changed rooms because none of the lights would turn on in her room. The TVs and cable in most of the rooms didn't work. The bathrooms that were not recently updated which is most, were dirty and worn. Dripping showers were an issue for many that kept them up. Things missing in rooms included toilet paper holders. soap dishes in the showers, mirrors of any kind, closets or drawers to put clothes, towels, and some times room keys (which we had to pick up after they had cut some new ones at the hardware store). The website also doesn't tell you that most of the hotel and rooms are built on a hillside which are only accessible by confusing stairs and a funicular when it was working. To add to it all, a good portion of the hotel was being renovated during our stay including around the pool area which prevented us from using the pool. For $110/night before taxes, not worth it.
