Talofa Inn

The place is very clean, girls who work there are very helpful and nice. Breakfast was made for everyone when you seat on the table, loved it.

Very convenient location.  Everything is within walking dustance.  Staff were very welcoming and assisted whenever we need anything.  Place us very clean.  Highly recommend.

Great property for price, very clean rooms, staff were lovely and helpful.

Located in central Apia, walking distance from everything in the capital. Hotel is quiet and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. A great place to stay for the budget minded traveler.

easy safe and convenient and accomodating to our needs

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.

This is a great little budget hotel. It’s above a clothing shop which they also run. It’s in the center of town and the ladies running the place are available from 7 AM to 7 PM. 

If there is a late or early check in they sleep over.  It’s important to communicate your arrival time if you intend to check in  outside of those times. Note that if you book via Booking.com they don’t respond to messages you leave there. They do promptly respond to emails however.

The rooms are very small and the traffic noise is bad as the hotel is above a main road. You’ll want to pack a good pair of ear plugs (preferably the wax ones you can burrow over your ear drums). You’ll need them for the rest of your Pacific trip anyway( cars; roosters; dogs; loud music).

While you’re at it, also bring eye shades as the curtains let in light.

Also, I didn’t know what “private bathroom” means. It’s not en-suite. You get a private toilet and bathroom down the hall that is locked and only you have the keys for. Not the greatest set up but doable. 

Everything is spotlessly clean. There is a washer and dryer and staff will do your laundry for an extra charge.  The room comes with a generous 2 GB a night of WIFI. If you need more it costs 10 Tala for another 2 GB.

The room also has a TV and fridge.

Breakfast is included: cereal; oatmeal and coffee or tea. They kindly also made me a scrambled egg for free. So kind. You can use their kitchen and cook for yourself if you want to.

The best thing is the staff. The ladies are very kind and truly want you to have a good stay.

You’ll also get your meet other guests there as the dining area is communal. Nice and interesting people: overseas Samoans visiting family or attending church conferences; foreign NGO workers and the  odd tourist.

I’d stay here again.

Comfy, Clean, Central Stay but bring ear plugs!

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!

If you’re expecting luxury this isn’t the place for you. The hotel is basic but brilliant. You have everything you need. It’s right in the centre of Apia and walking distance pretty much, from everything. There’s a supermarket directly across the road and a super clean shared kitchen you can use any time. The breakfast is great. There was pancakes with coconut jam yesterday. Always cereal and fruit. What made my stay was the lovely women who worked there. So friendly and helpful and full of suggestions. They genuinely wanted me to enjoy my time. There’s a washer and dryer too. A whole load for a fee. Highly recommended.

My arrival at Samoa scheduled for 5.30am and the official check-in at the planned hotel at 3pm, I decided to book a reasonably priced accomodation already for the night that had passed. My choice fell on the 'Talofa Inn', mainly due to various positive comments. 

There had been quite a correspondance regarding the transfer from the airport by shuttle service, but that didn't work, so I took a taxi for WST 60, which was not too bad. After a nice breakfast with plenty of fruit, served at the table, I was shown room No 4, which was quite big, but facing the main road, with quite a lot of traffic during the day, but not too bad during the night.

The accomodation in a quite central location consists of only 6 rooms, all quite different. There was a bathroom with shower attached, but the washbasin was in the bedroom. There was enough storage space everywhere. It had a bar of soap and in the shower a liquid soap dispenser. Shampoo has to be taken along.

When I arrived the lady (Tsafea) told me that checkout is at 10am, but when I had a look at the contract and at the hotels information leaflet, it definitely said 11am. The next day another lady (Leausa) was in charge and I was able to leave my luggage by the reception until a taxi took me to my next accomodation.

For the start of my stay

Clean, friendly, EXTREMELY convenient to downtown Apia. Staff were very welcoming to our late arrival and our request to keep luggage until we could pick it up later. Smiling, polite, reliable and informative. The room was very clean, somewhat compact but perfect for our one night stay. Perfect base for looking around Apia, nothing was too much trouble. Perfect 'first night' accommodation.

I chose Talofa Inn for its central location and good reviews here and I wasn't disappointed.  It is located about 10 minutes walk to the flea market/bus terminal and about 5 minutes walk to the fresh produce market.  There's a small supermarket just opposite Talofa Inn and a Chinese fastfood restaurant (which is also open on Sundays) just 2 blocks away.  

The room was clean with a fan, air conditioning and a sink.  The single room I stayed in didn't have an en-suite bathroom but a bathroom allocated for my exclusive use was just down the hallway.  

There's free wifi of 300MB daily but there was no TV in the room although there was a TV with bad reception in the common area.  There's a communal kitchen and they serve a slightly varied breakfast everyday - one morning I was served a fried egg with fruits while another morning I was served pancakes and fruits.  

The best thing about Talofa Inn is its staff, they were very helpful in offering information/directions and arranging transportation.  They were also extremely polite and friendly.

central location and very helpful staff

This out of sight property is a real gem in Apia.  The staff are THE BEST - friendly and working tirelessly on tidying up - it’s no doubt the cleanest hotel we’ve stayed in.The location is central, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the quality of the accommodations were good.Guests were very respectful of each other - which was a must given the close, relatively thin-walled nature of the rooms.

Talofa Inn is a  good value guesthouse  in downtown Apia but has great service, nothing is too much trouble.My host, Lea, made me a lovely breakfast each morning consisting of cereals, coffee, toast, and best of all, Banana bread accompanied by pineapple, mango, orange and finger banana.The hospitality here was the same as throughout the island, warm and generous.

Great Service so, I Highly Recommended this Proper

I really enjoyed my 6 night stay at Talofa Inn.  Unquestionably the best thing is the EXCELLENT friendliness and helpfulness of the staff.  A tasty filling (not small) continental breakfast is served each morning, and it varies a bit from day to day, so it doesn't get boring.  The rooms are nicely air conditioned.  There's also a pleasant outdoor area in which to relax.  It's a short walk to the waterfront where there are some good places to eat and to have a drink.  The hotel's Apia location is a good one for being the base for day trips around the island.
