The staff at Simon’s are amazing, very hospitable, friendly and helpful. They are the best source for finding local treasures (shopping, restaurants, activities) and will go out of their way so you enjoy Tonga. Don’t forget to read the floors The restaurant is amazing, you cannot leave without trying the banana split

I love my stay at Simon's Place just that cannot rest properly with dogs fighting . Breakfast was excellent . Just a suggestion maybe put bath mats in the shower area as I was scared that I will slip and fall . But overall my stay was good .

The staff at Simon's Place are absolutely fantastic and would go above and beyond whenever you ask for help. Tip for tourists: if you need to contact the hotel before your arrival, the easiest way is to send them a message on Facebook.

SImon's Place is two blocks away from the coast, within easy walk of the heart of the shopping area. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. A small hotel rather than a towering complex and rooms have a courtyard complete with clothesline

Nice large rooms, all functional. A low-key and general pleasant family-style atmosphere. Great kitchen. Feeling at home

nice staff

Friendly and helpful staff, value for money, close to town and waterfront, walking distance, great location.

I booked this place partly based on the pictures, it seemed that there was a nice tropical garden out the back of the rooms, this is not the case, that tropical outlook is actually the neighbouring property and has been scraped clean of every last piece of vegetation and has had dozens of tiny homes put there which were used for the recent Pacific leaders forum. also didnt help that during the day every day there was a job seekers convention going on in the main part of the building, im sure that doesnt happen every week so other people will be luckier. Breakfast was pretty good and the staff were friendly.

Perfectly comfortable place to base ourselves while we explored Tongatapu. Staff were absolutely wonderful, a pleasure to deal with. There is however no BBQ Area as stated on expedia, and we'd bought some meat & vegetables to cook for dinner 1 night & found this out teh hard way. The kitchen did cook our chicken for us however & it was beautiful, however due to a busy night they weren't able to do this until about 9.30pm at night. Not a major in the larger scheme of things. :)

The location is awesome ONLY the hot water wasn’t working after my first day of arrival

Accomodation is affordable and great service overall!

A part from being friendly and kind, my room was a disaster. On the wall were falling apart wires of a TV that was taken away; in the bathroom the WC had water only after 8 hours of filling its sink drop by drop (I told the person on duty: oh, thank you for telling me… ok, but I meant to have it repaired!) Only occasionally there was hot water and not all the glasses of the windows would close: the neighbours were speaking a bit loud and smoking in the courtyard and I had noise and smoke smell in the room. On the back there is a small table and a chair, that I guess were taken directly from a rubbish depot. All this could even pass in a hostel in India, but not if you pay 100 US$ per night. The motel is in a dark area were you get constantly aggressed by the dogs one block after the excellent restaurant Mum’s. Don’t go here, and if this is the normal value for money that you get in Tonga, leave the nice tongans to their prayers and go somewhere else

The staff was very helpful. The hotel was clean and comfortable. I would stay there again.

Lovely staff, great location,

Enjoying my stay here at Simons Place. The workers are so friendly and quick to assist when in need. I recommend this place 👍

Nice and quite, stuff are very helpful...

A great welcoming staff. Car hire just down the road too. Good aircon and large rooms. Security during the night - very safe. Would definitely stay here again.

It was nice stay. Convenient location

Easy check in after reception desk hours. Great spacious place to stay. Very clean and staff very understanding when we requested to cut short our stay due to personal reasons. Definitely recommend.

Pros The best thing was the comfortable bed and pillows. Very clean sheets and pillow slips. The breakfast was adequate and appreciated for a small facility. Very nice and helpful staff- thanks! Cons Somewhat noisy in area from early roosters and the odd barking dog. On one morning the kitchen had the radio blaring at 6.30am. The room and building in need of a serious makeover to reflect the high price. Some areas of room could be cleaned better, for example, the tops of some light switches and power outlets (which had an accumulation of dust). The bathroom tap handle was shiny only where hands touch it, indicating it is not regularly cleaned/polished. A broken chair had a taped up leg (should be better repaired or replaced). Shower was only warm on the sunny days I was there. Am happy to stay here again if the price matches the poor quality of the tired facilities. Otherwise, would try elsewhere for that money.

Great place to stay !!!

The staff of this property are beautiful and with lovely smiles always. Venue is also pretty nice

For the price I paid I would not stay here again. It was convinient for last minute booking. Aircon and hot shower

Cold showers and barking dogs The staff are lovely

The staff was very good.

The staff were amazing and friendly and it served a purpose but there are definitely some things that could be renovated.

Good food, convenience, friendly, clean

Nice and spacious rooms, good hot water, great price, and good internet that worked most of the time, which many places do not have. The staff were kind and made a late check in (and check out) simple and easy. The one downside is going to town for dinner is a bit of a walk and sometimes have dogs on the street that get territorial, so recommend having a car even though it's not far.

The staff are very nice and friendly. The place is clean. Free breakfast, which i love the la'i keke vai (island panckae), fresh organic pawpaw and watermelon.

Thanks to the kind staff for their help.

Loved the place mosquito was not very friendly

Had a really nice stay at Simon's Place in Nuku'alofa. It's a short stoll to the town centre. Beds are comfortable and the neighbourhood is quite quiet. Great to have a fridge and kettle in the room. Towels were good quality. As well as the usual self serve continental breakfast items there was also delicious fresh fruit plus tasty homemade pancakes and donut type things. It was nice to be able to have breakfast out on the verandah. The staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful at all times. Carpets in some of the bedrooms could do with replacement and refreshing the paint on some of the bedroom walls would take the guest experience up a notch, but overall I enjoyed my stay and it was a positive experience.

It's all you need for a stay in Nuku'alofa. You're going to Tongatapu so you need to manage your expectations. But Simon's place was clean and everyone was very nice. We arrived at 230am and the person in charge took me to get water to a nearby shop.

Excellent facilities staff were excellent will be back in February will definitely book again

It is located in the walking distance to the city and shops

No Hot water or internet

Good value hotel

We had a fantastic 8 day stay here and thoroughly enjoyed it. We were collected from the airport late at night without any problems. Our room was large and clean, with good ac, a kettle and a comfortable bed. Although there was no TV, there are plans to install new ones soon. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. They made our stay relaxing. The hotel provides a generous free breakfast and serves food during the day at good prices. It is in a good location, just a short walk from the centre, royal palace and museum. I would definitely stay here again.

The staff were really nice! But sorry will not do it for no hot water for showers. Stayed from Thursday till checkout on Tuesday morning. No television as well.Next door occupant have 5 children. The country has so many stray dogs , you cannot walk around. Unsafe to walk ! No invoice received for paying cash’ does not accept credit card

The owner went out of his way to make sure I was looked after. Thankyou!

It was a convenient 1 night stay. Thankyou.

Even though they were doing some fixing up, while i stayed there, they still had the time to help and provide a very nice service. The imployees were very polite, helpfull and friendly. I felt so very welcome during my stay there. I can strongly recommend this little family driven hotel, which only lies a few blocks from the center.

The stay was great

Awesome.

According to my husband everything is fine Thank-you for having them in your place..

Pleasant and friendly experience

The owners were very accomodating and flexible, addressed my needs promptly and provided advice. The G/H is centrally located and walking distance to all major restaurants, offices and embassies.

Very clean and quite was just what we need. Staff were very friendly. Very nice parking. Overall really enjoyed our stay and will be coming back there in future.

Big screen TV! Shower was top notch. Grab and go was well stocked. Overall a great experience.

We arrived midnight but the office closed and didn’t connect …

Nice hotel with wonderful staff! Very clean and accomodating.

Conveniently located accommodation

5 minutes from waterfront, 8 minutes from town center this is a well placed hotel with friendly knowledgeable staff.
