Friendly and helpful staff

The staff is outstanding! Henia, Mikeala, Jimmy and Jackson did their best to help us with all our organisational matters. They kept part of our luggage on storage when when came back after a week at the Sepik so we could repack and meet the low baggage allowance (16kg) of Air Nuigini for domestic travel. They alos organized trips to the nearby plateau and to the Ela Beach craft market and made sure we always got there and back safely. Also when flights are cancelled (we always managed to go the next day though, things have somewhat improved again) they took good care of us and the short shuttle time to the airport is a big plus. Whenever we needed anything extra they spared no effort to provide us with what we needed. Also a big thank you to the restaurant team - great breakfast and your service is really enjoyable!
Once we have saved enough money again we will be back to Papua -and guess where we will stay in Port Morseby?! Hope you guys all are still there then.

Membership and discounts, its almost 10yrs now they have operated
The mosquitos, the main reason why we couldn't use the balcony

Staff are fantastic - friendly, courteous, helpful - nothing is too much trouble. The staff are a real asset and set the Sanctuary apart from other hotels.
Rooms are comfortable.
These are not major gripes - would be easy to attend to. The room had a continuously running toilet (had to remove the cistern top to stop it) and bathroom door was difficult to close - not ideal for a twin room. Housekeeping supplies inconsistent (bathmats, face towels available one day and not the next) or not topped up (tea/ coffee).
5.0
These are the things I liked at Sanctuary Hotel Resort and Spa. The room is wonderful with maximum space. The shuttle bus service is perfect. They offer shop runs for those who doesnt have car. And the breakfast is free and superb with local taste mix. Finally, it's quiet with friendly staff. They even packed breakfast for the early 4am Airport transfer. Impressive!
Wonderful hotel. Highly recommend to anyone who visits Port Moresby.
Thank you

Staff were polite. Got the impression it's set up for those in groups doing the Kokoda track. As a solo traveler not a good place to be.
It was out of town and not much to do at the hotel.Had a pool.Thats about it.

I liked the complimentary breakfast and the Tuna Stake as main menu. Everything else is better.
The vegies on food could have been better if it was fresh.

breakfast was basic and ok
a bottle of water in the empty fridge in a hot Pom climate. I had to drink from the tap
a face wash cloth for shower
few more bags of tea or coffee than just one
I stayed in many hotels and guest houses and these are basic items which you had none

Lovely friendly staff. Close to airport. Free shuttle to airport and mall. Really tasty food, reasonably priced. Spacious room but odd layout of the suite with bathroom in middle.
Pillows hard and uncomfortable. Outside areas need some improvement.
4.0
Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Free shuttle to the mall and nature park were great.
3.5
AC not working led to an uncomfortable night. Supposedly no other rooms were available, and it was a bit surprising that a hotel of this size does not have 24/7 maintenance staff.
Unfortunately the restaurant was also out of several items on the menu, though what was available was well prepared
5.0
The rooms were larger than expected and clean. The atmosphere was a little oasis in PM, with trees and lush growth. It was pretty awesome to see tree Kangaroos, native deer and other local birds at the hotel. Fish in banana leaf in the restaurant was Yum! The sanctuary hotel staff were the real stars of this location. Super friendly and really wanting to help at every turn. Shuttle service was on time and made the transit easy and smooth. It's really well located close to the nature park (must see), the museum and parliament house. The Australian consulate is nearby also. This place is set up for repeat visits as those who go there will be sure to make it their 'go to' in Port Moresby.It will be our 'go to' when we return.
At times the wifi could have been there, but this was probably the case all over PM.
4.5
We really enjoyed the room as it was overlooking the pool giving a beautiful view and it was spacious and comfortable.
I didn't quite like the bathroom set up as the space is quite small. It would be lovely to expend the space abit and add a bath tub.

I'm overwhelmed by the hospitality, looking forward towards next stay

I very much liked the room, it is very spacious and
Staff need to smile more when dealing with guests. Your gesture is very important as it will show what service level of service you provide.

Breakfast was great--excellent coffee, fruit, and I could swop PNG veg for a sausage, which I did everyday. My room was comfortable, and it was nice to have a fridge, kettle, and microwave. The staff were helpful and friendly, and I loved how many plants filled the property, making it an urban garden and adding privacy and noise blocking.
The pool was too dirty to swim in while I was there. Other guests were noisy in the night and woke me up--thin walls plus tiled hallways means very echoey sounds when others are behaving badly. When music was played in the dining room, it was too loud for me to feel comfortable, so I ate in the garden (but the garden is lovely).

5.0
The vegetation was pleasant and serene. You wouldn't think that your still in the city. It was quiet and good to get away from the noise pollution.
Rooms were hot when we first arrives and had to leave the AC running for awhile until the room got cooler. Otherwise it was still comfortable.
3.5
The hotel actually lives up to the name Sanctuary, a quiet and neat setting with birds and fish, even a turtle was a nice sight. The setup itself was great!
We booked the rooms because of their balconies however we could not use them because they were locked. A real let down for us. Probably due to Covid-19? However, it would have been nice if this was stated clearly on their booking.com page for us to consider.

Breakfast was good and location was go too.
