Paddy's Hotel

Port Moresby


Secure, and right in the middle of Boroko's action, Paddy's is a motel-style setup spread across three floors. Rooms probably won't make your social media posts, but are spacious and modern, and a lively expat crowd invades the large bar with pool tables after work (particularly on Fridays). There's also a restaurant onsite. Wi-fi costs extra.
