Located in Nuku'alofa, Little Italy Hotel is in the suburbs and on the waterfront. Talamahu Market and Flea Market are worth checking out if shopping is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore Halafuoleva Beach and Mapu'a 'a Vaca Blowholes.
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.
