Arawa is a tired hotel in much need of updating. Dont pay attention to the photos they must be very old/borderline fraudulent. It was cheap, functional and clean but will be trying somewhere else next time
Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025

The staff were nice and helpful. The room was spacious. However, the bed wasn’t properly made, there were a lot of dead bugs on the blind in the bathroom area, not all of the lights worked, and the tv kept dropping its network connection making watching anything impossible.

This hotel in its hey day would have been amazing. The years have been a little unkind and the hotel rooms are tired. The bathroom fittings are old or spoiled by the sulphure in the air, our toilet kept over flowing when the cistern was full randomly, and toilet door had obviously seen a leak in the past with swelling, and kitchenette tap had a slow leak. However, the beds were clean, as was the rest of the room and facilities. The heating was great throughout keeping the hotel warm mid winter, and to be honest, I would happily stay there again.

This hotel needs a complete overhaul. The beds were squishy, the fittings in the room ancient. The breakfast buffet was overpriced, not much selection and inedible. The carpets were gross. It was a very negative experience
