Book a hotel near Royal Palace of Tonga, Nuku'alofa

"Friendly staff, clean room and excellent air conditioning. "

"We enjoyed our stay at Simon's Place, however there are a few areas that we feel the owners may want to address: 1. Carpets in the rooms – The carpets in the rooms appear quite worn and would benefit from either replacement or a thorough dry clean. We stayed in two rooms and also saw another room booked by friends, and the condition was similar across them. 2. Televisions in the rooms – Adding TVs in the rooms would improve the guest experience. 3. Breakfast options – It would be great to see more substantial breakfast options available, such as eggs or bacon, rather than the current limited selection. 4. Airport transfer communication – It would be helpful to clearly inform guests in advance if there are transfer charges for airport pick-ups. After several unanswered emails, this came as a surprise. Front desk customer service – Unfortunately, we experienced an interaction with desk staff that felt lacking in empathy, faka'apa'apa (respect), and tauhi vā (maintaining respectful relationships). When we were asked to pay $50 for a late check-out for my father on the final day—while we were attending family funeral arrangements—the situation was handled in a way that felt dismissive and was followed by laughter with other staff, which was disappointing. We share this feedback in the spirit of helping improve the experience for future guests. Sometimes playing the long game with customer relationships can lead to returning visitors to both your hotel and Cheers Hafekasi "

"We booked for 3 people Kingsize bed and single so they giving us Queen size bed only and so poor service "

"3-star at best and that's being generous. The walls are not insulated from noise. Old outdated furnishing, pillow cases seemed clean, but stained, sheets torn in places, ceiling, walls and wood trim peeling in places, bathroom fan didn't work, towels felt like sandpaper, strong smell of disinfectant, TV was broken, they couldn't fix it and wouldn't replace it, just said "oh well," sketchy wifi, but nice staff-Nai is awesome, good AC and close to the ocean. You could do better with a different hotel, one that actually provides the services that it advertises."

"We had a wonderful week in Tonga. Felt very safe here. Appreciated the air conditioning!Very comfortable with everything we needed and a fresh food market and grocer at the end of the street. We were very lucky to have the owner’s Dad staying in the downstairs flat. He looked out for us and was very helpful."

"The room was a great size, the location could not be faulted & even tho it was right in town we never had any issues with parking. This was my 3rd visit to Tonga in 8 months, but my first time staying at HN & I think this will be our preferred place to stay in the Kingdom moving forward. The entry/bar area was used for karaoke in the evenings & this was a convenient spot to unwind before bed. The girls at the front desk were always helpful, wifi connection was great & overall I believe it was great value for money. "
