Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The bed was comfortable and the air conditioning kept everything cool. It is only a 10minute walk to the centre where there are bars and restaurants. There was a fridge in the room but no tv. Shower room was fine. Breakfast is limited with a small amount of fruit cereal and toast. Staff are friendly and helpful and can arrange island tours. Hotel prices are high in Tonga compared to nearby Fiji and Samoa and of a lower standard. It is a decent enough hotel but like other accommodation in Tonga not very good value for money

It's what you expect for the price. Nothing wrong with it if you just need a bed between full day activities. Easy enough walk to water, restaurants, and main Street. Nothing special, but nothing outstandingly wrong. You need to request fresh towels etc. The rooms don't get serviced unless you ask. Has ceiling fan and air con though.

The place was clean and had reasonable breakfast. The bed was too soft for us. Didn't sleep well. We were given a room right opposite the restaurant which was annoying. It was very noisy there. Always in the evening sometime sat tight outside the restaurant (which was right outside of our room) and watching some videos online. As there are no windows you can close, we could hear it all right into our room. The same in the morning - they started to playing jazz at the reception area from before 7am really loud which woke us up. This music would not stop for hours. For the price you pay, we can't really complain about the lack of facilities. But location of our room was unlucky. Perhaps we would have better stay in one of the rooms at the back.

There appeared to be a restaurant, with a menu, but it was never open. Rooms super basic. Charmless noisy location. No way to contact staff, they didn't respond to my request for an airport transfer. Breakfast was instant coffee and some fruit and chewy pancakes with no syrup, or cereal. I needed three nights between flights across a Sunday (Tonga is *closed* on Sundays) so I was trapped, but next time I'll spring for an actual hotel with actual amenities and a staff who engages.

They miss emails throughout Expedia to book transfers. I stayed four nights and the bedroom was not cleaned, so not sure how often they do it. Otherwise good for the average price in the area. Huge bedroom. Amazing people working there.

I like the location of the property and the staff are very friendly and kind. I would strongly recommend to short stay travellers as well as longer stay travellers. If is also convenient and safe. There is a security guard work overnight for the safety of their customers, very important. I would use again. Thank you Simon’s Place. Mālō ‘aupito!
