Patricia

Liked: Cleanliness
The fixtures and fittings were in very poor shape especially in the living area and the bathroom. We had to be very careful using old electrical appliances and avoiding falls. On the positive side, the room was large, the beds were comfortable and the bed linen was fresh and clean. Fresh bath towels were provided every day. Breakfast and occasional meals were satisfactory.

Friendly staff, building needs work.
This place needs work. The staff are friendly and the restaurant downstairs is good for vegetarian options. The building itself feels like a place someone has either inherited or overpaid and they're not quite sure which market they are going for. If I were them, I would concentrate on a few rooms, replace the appliances, fix the towel racks etc and progressively renovate.

I would say this is an ok place to spend a night. Unlike a lot of places in Tonga, I wouldn’t drink the water there. We had to ask for things like water, shampoo, etc. that were complimentary at other hotels. Pretty run down. My room had a broken sink bowl and the facet was so loose I had to hold it with one hand and turn it on/off with the other. The morning ride was ordered in time but there was no way to order an early breakfast. Friendly but we had to wake the night watchman up to help us with our bags. Won’t stay again but as I said, in a pinch it is ok for 1 night.

To say this place is "dilapidated" is an understatement. I was ready to check out the moment I walked in to my room. HOWEVER, if a beachfront (balcony) room with a GREAT bed, HOT shower and super lovely staff are important to you, then give this place a go. There's so much to do in Nuku'alofa, that the rest doesn't matter.

Was quite dusty when we first arrived and noisy by the main road. Door to balcony didnt open easily but we got it moving. Extra bed was quite hard and frame was rusty. Staff were nice, we had lots of queries which they handled for us. Good location for town and was a good place to just chill in the evenings
