Tonga-Wonderful People

The Tongan people are very gracious and kind. This is the best hotel in the area. They have wi-fi available in the rooms. Cell phones from the US do not work on the island, unless connected to wi-fi. The food in the restaurant was great. The breakfast choices varied. There are very limited food options close, so having good food attached to the hotel is a huge bonus. Pizza was very good, so were the cream sauce pastas. The receptionist called for a tour guide on short notice to drive us to all the attractions around the island. A balcony room is worth the extra cost. It was a lovely way to just sit and watch the ocean. The hotel also has car rentals available. Taxis are not available on Sundays unless prearranged.

Lovely place. Beautiful view of seaside. 10 minute walk to downtown. Rooms are immaculate and comfortable. Staff are very friendly. Found an excellent tour guide listed by the establishment. You can conveniently rent a car on site if you want. Nice Italian restaurant on site which also serves fresh fish of the day. I give this place my highest recommendation.

I wanted to share how wonderful my stay at Little Italy was. The location is excellent—conveniently situated near Nuku’alofa—and made it very easy to get around. The property itself is an amazing place to stay. Having a restaurant downstairs was incredibly convenient, and the availability of rental cars for guests was a great added benefit. Breakfast was served daily and was a perfect start to each day. I especially enjoyed the delicious desserts and the local Maka beer, which was fantastic. Most importantly, the hospitality was outstanding throughout my 14-day stay. Everything about Little Italy made the experience truly memorable in 47 years. Thank you for such a great experience.

Excellent place to stay in Tonga. The rooms were spotless. The attached restaurant was very good and their free breakfast was the best I have had at a restaurant in a long time. I recommend to my friends as the place to stay in Nufalofa

Great hotel in Tonga - get a room with a water view if you plan to stay for a period of time, as the rooms opposite (not facing the water) are a bit oppressive. They also have a patio to help enjoy the view. Only downside is you get more road & restaurant noise, but that's part of the charm. Restaurant downstairs is wonderful. And the hotel is 15 minutes walk into town. Definately recommend the hotel when staying in Tonga.

It was nice and clean, had lovely staff and we enjoyed a great sea view from our room. We were allowed to keep our room to 11.30am on the day we left. We did so appreciate that. The breakfast food was plentyful and nice variety. The pizzas are good for evening meal.

Staff are freindly, quick to fix anything that not working. All rooms require some stairs to climb so not very wheelchair freindly. Beds are real comfortable, shower has good water pressure, shampoo conditioner and bar of soap supplied. Restraunt down stairs is very popular for their pizza 🍕. I definitely recommend staying here.
