We felt so welcome during our stay at Seaview Lodge - stayed for four nights and just didn't want to go home. We had breakfast each day and ate dinner there two of the 4 nights - the food was superb. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and even went the extra mile when I misplaced my phone and they arranged for it to be delivered to me at the airport prior to departure - wow! We would highly recommend Seaview Lodge to anyone visiting Nuku'alofa.

Walking distance from town. Nice hotel. Nice people. The Ancient Tonga tour & the Oholei were the best activities.

Comfortable and close to town

Pros: The staff a really friendly. Our room was well presented, clean and reasonably comfortable. Great shared deck for watching the sun set.
Cons: The shower in the room looked nice but wasn't well designed and splashed water everywhere. A very minor problem.
Location: An easy 10 minute walk from town. 25 minutes to the dock. There's not much to do nearby - Nuku'olofa isn't a tourist town.
Great 3-star hotel. We enjoyed our stay there and it was close to town for when we wanted to join a tour or buy souvenirs. Tongatapu doesn't have a lot to offer tourists - you can see it all in one or two days, so don't plan a lot of time to see the place unless you're using it as a base for our day-trips, such as swimming with the whales. You are better to spend some time on the other islands nearby or even further afield if you don't mind flying back and forth. Food in Tonga is OK, but generally nothing special. The restaurant at this hotel is nothing special but serves OK food 7 days a week. There is a fantastic restaurant just behind the palace, nearby.

Location: It would be nice to have some vegetarian/vegan options on the menu in the restaurant.
Lovely place to stay, close to walk to town. Lovely décor and clean and comfortable. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The security guard was so helpful when we had to get up at 4.30am for an early flight. He gave us an early morning call and carried our bags out to the taxi. We would highly recommend this place to stay and would stay here again.

Relaxing and Quaint Hotel

Pros: Staff, views, restaurant, transport from Airport
Cons: Nothing that I could think of
Location: Stayed in the hotel for the two days we were there relaxing on the balcony facing the sea.
Nice little hotel facing the sea and cool breezes. Great views and ideal for a few days relaxation. All you need on site with a very good restaurant. Staff very friendly and engaging with particular thanks to "Mr T" for making us very welcome.

Friendly, comfortable and the food is great

Cons: The one thing that could be improved would be the consistency of the hot water especially in the shower. Both the Temperature and Pressure wildly vary
Location: 5- 10 mins walk to town, 5 mins from the Palace
It's hard to find accommodation with friendly helpful staff, good free wifi and Top Class dining all in the one place and at a very reasonable rate, but here it is. All of the staff were a pleasure to deal with. Internet access was plenty fast enough and reliable. And the Dining, Superb!! The beach --- Don't expect to be able to go for a long stroll on the sand or even perhaps sunbathe, Its just coral rock, but pleasant enough.

Quiet and comfortable

Pros: Quiet, comfortable, close to town and the sea.
Cons: Perhaps a wider choice of menu items.
Location: Close to town (easy walking distance), right on the sea - reef not a swimming beach.
Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the accommodation, not being sure what to expect as this was our first trip to Tonga. The restaurant was a bonus with a fairly limited selection of very good meals and open on Sunday too. The courtesy and attentiveness of the staff could not be faulted.
