I have been coming in and out of the Lamana for several years and just long for a Menu Change. I have never had the Indian food which may be very good but I actually tried the cheapest item on the Menu this time "Mousaka" and surprise 'surprise ...It was quite good. The buffet Breakfast is good with a wide... More

What a terrific hotel. Just don't stay in room 19, always check the aircon is working well before you commit to the room. Room 19's aircon just makes a lot of noise and blows hot air. Don't stay there on a weekend unless you want to party as the night club booms out till 0400. The restaurant is great but... More

For a start, Port Moresby is a pretty weird place. Nowhere much to go and not much to see ... and personal security is an issue outside of the hotel compound. But I guess it is where a lot of people may start off when they go to see other parts of Papua New Guinea and may be looking for... More

I stay at Lamana whenever I'm in Port Moresby. It is a little gem of a hotel when compared to some other properties. The rooms are clean and comfortable and reasonably priced by PNG standards. The food is generally very good. Curry nights every Thursday are particularly good. The staff are friendly and attentive. On the weekends you can go... More

The food is quite well priced, the indian buffett nights are especially good with high quality deserts. The staff are very friendly and the place has a overall nice atmosphere. Concierge are very helpful and friendly which is great to have. Sleep quality is pretty good. The place keeps a high degree of cleanliness. Defintely worth staying at Lamana.

I stayed at Lamana Hotel for this last week in February and found the place fantastic. Staff were extremely friendly and most helpful - service surprisingly great compared to what I would have expected and have received in Australia - always a friendly hello and staff quickly know you on a name basis. Gives an added homely atmosphere. Prices not... More

Unfortunately my Company choose to use Lamana Hotel for all our stays. Having been in and out of PNG for the last year and probably having stayed at Lamana for half of that time, the initial novelty and quirkiness of the Hotel has worn extremely thin. The prices are normal by PNG standards but way over priced for the quality... More

The Lamana hotel is very well appointed for this part of the world. The staff are well organised and cleaning staff are always willing to assist where possible. The location is within walking distance to amenities and shops. Best of all the hotel provides secure transport from and to the airport, which if this is your first visit to PNG... More

Stayed here for a week in early December for work, so glad someone else was paying as it is expensive - but there are few options in Port Moresby; I was picked up at the airport in a clean minivan with very professional driver and friendly, helpful staff. Concierge and reception staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. An average... More
