Such a beautiful property very convenient and close to town ocean view lovely staffs and sweet. Good food at the restaurant below as well serves such a good breakfast meal fresh organic tropical fruits can’t wait to go back again! Rooms are great for families and little ones big and spacious!
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.
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
The staff was very friendly, helpful as well as the owner of Little Italy. The place was clean and has a nice view of the ocean even though i didn't get a front view room.

I came for my fathers funeral. We live right behind the hotel but it was too crowded at the house so I booked a room here. The owners offered free rooms for those who came for the funeral but I booked via Expedia so that I could feel as if Im supporting our local businesses. The service was top notch and friendly. Anytime I locked myself out or had questions or concerns, the employees were always there to help with a smile. The amenities worked well for my needs. The free breakfast came in handy and was surprisingly refreshing, delicious, and offered quite a selection. I was highly satisfied with my stay and highly recommend Little Italy for your stay in Tongatapu. Thank you owners and staff of Little Italy!
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.
A bit of an oasis, great staff and food, everything I needed while working in Tonga. Will definitely return next time I am working there.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Good place if here for work.
Stayed in standard room - those with a balcony are probably worth it if you are here during the day, but I was out for work. The rooms are on the smallish side but have everything you need. The reception/housekeeping staff are great. Food in the restaurant also good (basic breakfast) but it does get very very busy at night so either go early or be prepared to enjoy sitting around the table chatting while waiting. Very comfortable bed, other parts of the room a bit tired but there were signs of rennovations happening. If you are here for work it has everything you need.
The hotel wasn't actually open to the public when we checked in (miscommunication with Expedia), but they honoured our booking anyway. This meant we didn't have breakfast, room service or reception for most of our stay but they did try to make up for it later in our stay. Otherwise, the property is a great boutique hotel (particularly for Tonga standards) with an excellent Italian restaurant. The staff were very warm. I would stay here again in Nukualofa.
Great place to stay and location is right by the sea
Really close to town so able to walk
Staff were friendly and helpful
Hotel is also a restaurant with some awesome food
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.
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.
Nice and handy to the CBD, there was some external upgrades happening which did not make it to good during the day with noise, staff were great very friendly and happy.
Staff is friendly. Location is great with ocean view.
AC is making frustrated noise and there is no other room to swap.
Bed sheet and towel have many dirty spots.
Kettle has many residual and not drinkable.
Owners and staff were very helpful and friendly.
They accommodated us when our flights were cancelled and willing to help with anything that we needed. I highly recommend this property
