Airways Hotel

Airways Hotel is nestled into the mountainside in its own botanical gardens with stunning views from crystal clear waters of Bootless Bay to the majestic mountains of the Owen Stanley Ranges. While its surroundings are remarkable, the hotel's international reputation has been built on equally unique interiors, not to mention first-class service and a passionate attention to detail. The hotel offers finely appointed rooms, exquisite decor and world-class facilities in an environment that is calm, secure and spacious. You will also find one of Port Moresby's most popular social hubs, a place for business meetings and networking, and weekend family relaxation. While princes are always welcome, you don't have to be a prince to stay at Airways. From the moment you enter its gates, you'll know you have arrived at a place apart: a unique and unrivalled hotel where your convenience and comfort is our priority. Airways. Always a pleasure ...

A weekend away from the house for the family should be fun and exciting to a point where you actually miss the hotel you stayed in even if only after one night. Last Saturday 9 April, my family and I stayed at the Hilton Port Moresby and we just had a great time. Fancy food, excellent rooms, warm friendly staff. By check out on Sunday, I was wondering how I could extend my stay for my family for just a few more hours! It was such a good day out for my family. Welcome relief for a tough week. Memorable in the sense of escape it gave us. Note: if you get a room on the eastern end of the hotel, be sure to wake up early to see the Sun rise, pouring Gold into the day, spilling it over the Owen Stanley Ranges in the distance ... It is a magnificent sight to behold with a hot cup of coffee in hand!

After months away because of the pandemic it was great to return to PNG and experience the warmth of welcome at the Grand Papua from the reservation, front desk and restaurant staff. Particular thanks to Koni, the Concierge, who cheerfully stepped in to get my lifeless vehicle back on the road. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for the staff team.

Work Visit

Reviewed By NomadicMike499670

Have stayed at The Gateway Hotel a couple of times this year. Property is aging but reasonably well maintained. Proximity to airport is its major plus. Airport shuttle is a little bit confusing. I arrived at the Domestic Terminal, rang the hotel, was told shuttle services were handled by an external company, she told me the name, couldnt quite make it out, think was Blackcat. After a lot of asking, was pointed in the direction of some ladies about halfway to the International Terminal. Once there and spoken to , a shuttle was quickly ordered and i was transported to the hotel. A 2 minute ride. A bit of a wait at Reception. I was too early for check-in ( arrived at 10.30 am ) , told hotel was full and no rooms were ready. Okay. Told to go wait by the pool, and a waiter would take my order . Sat down by the pool, waited an hour, and no sign of any wait staff at all. went back into Reception, which was air conditioned, waited another half hour and finally my room was ready. My room was nice, new A/C, clean, comfortable. No complaints. Next came food. Went into the hotel Sizzlers for lunch. quite satisfactory meal ( I had the barramundi). But - punters note- the menu shown on the Hotel website is out of date, and all prices on it have increased substantially. Hotel should update its website !!! For Dinner , went to another Hotel restaurant, the Wild Orchid restaurant. The Hotel website advertises a different style buffet there every night. Great, like the look of that. On arrival, advertised that for the last year ( because of Covid- that wonderful, universal excuse ) we dont do buffets except for Sundays. But you can have something off our room service menu. Okay- except it wasnt what I wanted, ( I wanted the buffet) and i could have stayed in my room to have it. Gateway Hotel- update your website to reflect your restaurants real menu PLEASE! Overall, an okay, not great, stay. My company is a major buyer of rooms at the Gateway also. My long wait for a room was not reflected by this. Does it take your cleaning staff 1.5 hrs to clean one room ? Neither is the Gateway particularly cheap, so value for money is average at best. Hotel really needs to lift its game, recommend only for its location.

The food is great but the only thing that needs improvement is the entrance from the poolside, when it rains water floods its way into the restaurant area. Thanks and i hope you guys make some improvements.
