    Breakfast is good. The location is just so perfect for our stay's purpose. Few minutes walk to grocery stores, market, restaurants and most especially, the U.S.A. Embassy. The place is well maintained and you can even cook your food if you want to.

    A small, safe, friendly guest house with only few rooms, very central but apart from some security guards you're the only one on the street after 6pm if not driving. The AC room was big and clean. They offer a small complimentary breakfast in self service with sometimes fresh fruit. The rooms seem not to get serviced during the stay but I only stayed 3 nights.

    Because the location was downtown, it was noisy at night.

    Location was convenient to a lot of places - grocery, western union, cafe, McDonalds. It was easy to walk around downtown. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

    I was happy with my stay at the Talofa Inn - I arrived late due to a mix-up with the public airport shuttle (autobots) because the driver thought there were 2 people coming when it was just me - so therefore we waited at the airport for about an hour for a non-existent second person to arrive.

    I found the Talofa Inn to be a very good option in Apia; it's close to amenities and to most of the tourist sites in the town. There are restaurants and supermarkets nearby which is very handy. The room was quite good and - most importantly - the air conditioning worked well!! The proprietor very kindly prepared breakfast for me even though I had to leave early the morning I checked out (i.e. before the standard breakfast time period). It also has a nice common area which was a welcoming area to relax in and also to escape the heat of Apia!

    Being located on a busy road, the traffic can get a bit loud, especially when the local lads want to show off their subwoofers and Samoan stylings. But that settles down very quickly at night, and there's a general sense of law and order with a couple of the businesses employing friendly night watchmen to help keep things quiet. It was a hot time of year too, and it's possible to feel a bit trapped in the air-conditioned room - but that's true of all of Apia in March. This is not a luxury hotel, but it's very good value and the small size and good attitude made it much more personal than some other experiences I've had in Samoa.

    It's a small guesthouse located immediately above a clothes shop, and run as part of a mixed business model. Although the facilities are modest, I thought the staff were very welcoming with a strong personal touch. They served a home cooked breakfast every day, with little variations (banana cakes one day, eggs the next), and always fresh fruit. With only six rooms, they quickly learned the names and food/coffee preferences of guests and looked after us. When I asked for help with replacing a shirt button, they fixed it for me at no charge. When I pointed out a maintenance issue, it was addressed straight away. When I asked for a desk to do my work on, they brought it into the room instantly. The value for money was also exceptional. Talofa Inn is in a very central location, near shops and major roads, and directly over the road is a supermarket that makes good coffee and great smoothies in their bakery section.

    I had a private shower, but it was not in the room. I had to exit the room to get there. It's a minor annoyance.

    Free and reliable wifi, a rarity in the Pacific islands. Excellent location near the market in the city centre. Clean, comfortable rooms. Staff were friendly in offering breakfast.
