Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The place was clean and had reasonable breakfast. The bed was too soft for us. Didn't sleep well. We were given a room right opposite the restaurant which was annoying. It was very noisy there. Always in the evening sometime sat tight outside the restaurant (which was right outside of our room) and watching some videos online. As there are no windows you can close, we could hear it all right into our room. The same in the morning - they started to playing jazz at the reception area from before 7am really loud which woke us up. This music would not stop for hours. For the price you pay, we can't really complain about the lack of facilities. But location of our room was unlucky. Perhaps we would have better stay in one of the rooms at the back.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
There appeared to be a restaurant, with a menu, but it was never open. Rooms super basic. Charmless noisy location. No way to contact staff, they didn't respond to my request for an airport transfer. Breakfast was instant coffee and some fruit and chewy pancakes with no syrup, or cereal. I needed three nights between flights across a Sunday (Tonga is *closed* on Sundays) so I was trapped, but next time I'll spring for an actual hotel with actual amenities and a staff who engages.

They miss emails throughout Expedia to book transfers. I stayed four nights and the bedroom was not cleaned, so not sure how often they do it. Otherwise good for the average price in the area. Huge bedroom. Amazing people working there.

I like the location of the property and the staff are very friendly and kind. I would strongly recommend to short stay travellers as well as longer stay travellers. If is also convenient and safe. There is a security guard work overnight for the safety of their customers, very important. I would use again. Thank you Simon’s Place. Mālō ‘aupito!

Local Tonga experience

Everyone that works there is amazing! It is very clean and i never saw a bug, which is big for me. There is no separation from the shower and toilet but it works. The shower water wasn’t hot but warm felt good. It’s not fancy but we didn’t come for that. We came to explore the island and fell in love with the people. If you are expecting a Hilton, this isn’t for you. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

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
