The very kind staff members and the complimentary breakfast of bread, fruits, and coffee made for a very comfortable stay. Renting a car and such led to a wonderful trip to Samoa. Highly recommended.

Basic, clean accomodation in Apia.
We stayed in their room with two twins. It is basic, clean, a good shower, and an air con that cools the room if you need it. The room is without character but the location makes up for it. The included complimentary breakfast of cereal, toast, and fruits is sufficient.

This is an island style inn with only 6 rooms on the 2nd floor (at least this is what I saw) which are nice and clean. All the ladies who work in the hotel are the sweetest people you will ever meet. Try the pancakes with their signature coconut syrup/jam. Keep up the great work ladies and keep smiling:)

Talofa Inn is an interesting place. It has zero curb appeal. Zero. It is accessed through a small crowded lot on the side of a building in a commercial area. But it's clean and pleasant once you climb the front stairs, and friendly. I had a small room. AC and fan worked great. I was comfortable enough. I appreciated how efficient the staff was in arranging my ride to the airport. So it was very good value and a solid place to stay if (a) you want to be in Apia; and (b) the larger hotels are full (as they often are) or (c) you want to save a little money. Maybe my only complaint is that they gave me two Wifi codes -- one of which never worked and the other which was maxxed out very quickly. But it was okay, I was only there two nights. At night, the immediate area is a little desolate, but not far from livelier areas. There is a great spot for breakfast and lunch, Cafe Cornwall, nearby. (And in a pinch the McDonald's is very close). In sum, Talofa Inn is kind of nice and definitely ok!

This is the second time I’ve stayed at the talofa inn. The ladies are great to talk too, I highly recommend if your needing to go shopping before going back home. This is the place to go cause all the shops and markets are in walking distance.
