I stayed here for a week in November as I was attending a conference being held there. The room was modern and well equiped and the A/C worked fine and apart from some noise outside coming from the staff areas overall quiet. Accommodation in PNG is expensive however i think the Gateway offers good value for the rates charged and... More

It's true - what you pay for this hotel, is not worth it. It is crazy expensive - looking at $400USD for normal rooms... not even breakfast included! However I think Port Moresby is just nuts in general. However, Gateway Hotel - please include breakfast buffet in the price - that would be a decent, appreciated step.. The service is... More

Recently I had to attend a meeting at Jacksons International Airport in Port Moresby. I elected to stay at the Gateway Hotel due to its proximity to the airport. The airside collection and delivery by shuttle bus is excellent. The hotel is reasonably clean but expensive being a captive market. The restaurant food is a bit monotonous and the menu... More

Close to their airport - thats a plus. But the place has past its prime/sell by date. An odd mixture of new-ish looking parts, shabby attention to detail, odd decor, and a tired feeling about parts of it. Check in was a tad officious but worked, the room (I was told I was in 'the old section') was big but... More

Prior to this trip, my most recent stay at Gateway had been in Aug 2010. At that time, I was entirely satisfied with it, given the limited options in POM. Although it was not my first choice this time, based on my prior experience, I was comfortable with the prospect of staying there even though the location meant a drive... More

All the staff are nice, smiling and pleasant. However, it seems there is only one person on duty at reception at any one time, and they are of course always busy. The wait staff in the restaurant are pleasant and TOTALLY INATTENTIVE.! The housekeeping staff is also pleasant, but report problems are not resolved. Towels are not available at the... More

Upon check in the staff at reception did not check their records properly to see that I had been booked in by a third party and this delayed the check in by around 40 minutes I was not impressed that 3 days in a row I had to call and ask for towels to be provided. I was also not... More

Again have stayed here & at other first, second & third tier hotels & lodges several times since my last revue. My previous comments still apply, checkin/out can be a problem. All except one were smooth as silk, once everything that could be wrong was wrong. Appeared to be lack of staff or maybe systems down - PNG does not... More

Stayed at the gateway twice in a couple of weeks, one night on each occassion with my son prior to and after trekking the Kokoda Track. Check in was slow both times, check out the second stay very slow as we worked though wrong charges, I said I owed 30 kina, they said 300 plus, but it got sorted in... More
