I wanted to share how wonderful my stay at Little Italy was. The location is excellent—conveniently situated near Nuku’alofa—and made it very easy to get around.

The property itself is an amazing place to stay. Having a restaurant downstairs was incredibly convenient, and the availability of rental cars for guests was a great added benefit.

Breakfast was served daily and was a perfect start to each day. I especially enjoyed the delicious desserts and the local Maka beer, which was fantastic.

Most importantly, the hospitality was outstanding throughout my 14-day stay. Everything about Little Italy made the experience truly memorable in 47 years.

Thank you for such a great experience.

Lovely place. Beautiful view of seaside. 10 minute walk to downtown. Rooms are immaculate and comfortable. Staff are very friendly. Found an excellent tour guide listed by the establishment. You can conveniently rent a car on site if you want. Nice Italian restaurant on site which also serves fresh fish of the day. I give this place my highest recommendation.

Great hotel in Tonga - get a room with a water view if you plan to stay for a period of time, as the rooms opposite (not facing the water) are a bit oppressive. They also have a patio to help enjoy the view. Only downside is you get more road & restaurant noise, but that's part of the charm.

Restaurant downstairs is wonderful. And the hotel is 15 minutes walk into town.

Definately recommend the hotel when staying in Tonga.

Excellent place to stay in Tonga. The rooms were spotless. The attached restaurant was very good and their free breakfast was the best I have had at a restaurant in a long time. I recommend to my friends as the place to stay in Nufalofa

I came for my fathers funeral. We live right behind the hotel but it was too crowded at the house so I booked a room here. The owners offered free rooms for those who came for the funeral but I booked via Expedia so that I could feel as if Im supporting our local businesses. The service was top notch and friendly. Anytime I locked myself out or had questions or concerns, the employees were always there to help with a smile. The amenities worked well for my needs. The free breakfast came in handy and was surprisingly refreshing, delicious, and offered quite a selection. I was highly satisfied with my stay and highly recommend Little Italy for your stay in Tongatapu. Thank you owners and staff of Little Italy!

Tonga-Wonderful People

The Tongan people are very gracious and kind. This is the best hotel in the area. They have wi-fi available in the rooms. Cell phones from the US do not work on the island, unless connected to wi-fi. The food in the restaurant was great. The breakfast choices varied. There are very limited food options close, so having good food attached to the hotel is a huge bonus. Pizza was very good, so were the cream sauce pastas. The receptionist called for a tour guide on short notice to drive us to all the attractions around the island. A balcony room is worth the extra cost. It was a lovely way to just sit and watch the ocean. The hotel also has car rentals available. Taxis are not available on Sundays unless prearranged.

Good place if here for work.

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.

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.

Room lay out was strange and made it feel smaller. Shower head needs to be changed so water doesn’t go on floor. no hair dryer in rooms. Was impressed the owner went above and beyond to prepare food for me, and the food was awesome with cheap prices. Stayed in wet cyclone weather and felt safe

I stayed for a week for work and I think Little Italy was a great place to stay. My room was a little dated, which may worry some, but for me it was comfortable and had everything I needed. They also have other newer rooms available for those that this may worry. The restaurant there is great and serves some excellent food and there are also a couple of other options within waking distance if you want a change. The staff were very good and allowed me to check out in the well in to the afternoon, as I had an evening flight when I departed, which is a level of service not many places around would offer. I would happily stay here again.

I had a delightful stay. The staff was very kind and let me check in early. The location is a little out of town, but it's a nice ten minute walk along the seafront to get into town. The normal trade breezes bring nice clean air to the rooms, and it's a quiet neighborhood. The food is excellent! Only downsides are no lunch service, and no elevator or ramp. But staff was very helpful with carrying luggage up & down. No complaints, and highly recommended!

Our stay was really good. Enjoyed our 3days staying here, worth the price we payed for. The view of the sunrise and sunset from the balcony was just breathtaking! Pizzas from the restaurant were as every one says, amaze balls!! And then we tried the lobster on our last night, scrumptious!!! The reception lady was just the greatest, helpful til the moment you leave. Everybody’s stay is different but glad to say me and my partners stay was a pleasant one, thanks Little Italy!

This is the fourth time that my wife and/or I have stayed at Little Italy and I’ve always contented.

The staff are super! The lady at reception is super friendly, and each time always bends over backwards to make our stay that little bit better.

I gave an average rating on the amenities, but that is only because the place would be that much better if it had a pool. Nevertheless the view is worth $1 million from the front balcony room.

What I do find key is the fact that the staff keep the rooms clean!

The internet can be a little “how’s it going” at times, but that is more related to Tonga than the hotel.

Suffice to say, I will be staying there again.
