Stayed a few months ago and enjoyed it, so I stayed again and the staff remembered me and were lovely. Room was clean. They have laundry which is handy. No gym or pool. But JP’s Fitness gym is behind the hotel with a small supermarket, and Pinati’s is a short walk behind the hotel, with McDonald’s not too far. There’s a taxi stand a short walk behind the hotel as well which is handy.

Wifi was unusable! Nice rooms. Next to a church that began singing every day at 5am. Breakfast was more Western than Cantonese. No dim sum. 7 tv stations. Shuttle was 20 cheaper than a taxi. And nicer. Good water pressure and heat. AC was a bit strange. Room windows are not oriented towards the water. Perfect central location.

My experience was great. Every time I visit Samoa, I go to Tauese’s restaurant and it’s my favourite Chinese feed, so first time staying in the hotel.

Right in the centre of the main road of town, across from the Seawall, so can walk anywhere & everywhere.

Staff were lovely and helpful, great 24hr desk service. They clean the room every day.

I stayed in the room next to the side door, it’s very noisy in the lobby so be aware. Room was clean, fridge did not work, shower is great (hot water).
Only awkward thing is the rooms view is the side where the workers have their smoke break and hang the washing, so kept the curtains closed the whole stay.

The gym and a small convenience store is behind Tauese, so it’s really convenient. Taxi stand and Pinati’s (cheap feed) a minute walk behind Tauese too.

I’d stay here again!

We stayed there for 12 nights, great area as it’s close to everything and easy access. Great customer service and the staff are very helpful and supportive. Overall our stay was good apart from having a mouse running around in our room. It must’ve been there since our first day but only manage to capture a small video of it to prove there’s one in our room. Staff were quick to move us to another room and the little rascal was caught the following morning. Overall was ok, but wouldn’t stay there again MAYBE????

This is in a fantastic location, close to shopping and dining options. The manager was incredibly friendly and helpful. I almost lost my bag with my laptop and cash, buts he went out of her way to contact the taxi base and had my belongings returned. While the wi-fi was a bit spotty due to rain, the place otherwise was quite nice.

This was a fine example of a city centric hotel in Apia, with all the facilities for a short business stay or stopover. There’s both a safe and a fridge if you look for it. It’s not a resort or holiday accommodation, but that’s okay.
TV entertainment is not good for non-Chinese and a/c also hard to set properly. The Cantonese breakfast goes cold if you’re not there at the start time.

I love my 4 days and 5 nights stay. The restaurant in the front is superb though it gets busy at night time, service is a little slow but because it's known in that side of capital, a lot of people usually comes around that time. I also love the oriental breakfast every morning.

The first day we enter the door was nice and neat, no lift or staff to help carried our luggages upstairs, the room smells n dirty. Free breakfast the room is not good enough, the menu is still the same from our first day up to last day, i don't know why, compared to others hotels, please consider this issue for better next time, thanks

The air conditioner in the room was amazing! Also all of the hotel staff were great - very kind and friendly and made sure I had what I needed and answered all my questions. I was even able to arrange a ride to the airport (for a fee) with them. The breakfast is Chinese food which was fun and the dishes changed every day and some of it was really good (my favorite was this okra dish). FYI there’s no elevator. The location is convenient - walkable to shops, restaurants (McDonald’s was like a seven minute walk), banks, the Samoa Cultural Village and the visitors center are like across the street and it’s right next door to the Australian Commission. Would stay here again the next time I’m in Apia!

The apartment was immaculate with a spacious rainfall shower and bathroom.
Extremely pleasant tranquil environment waking up to church melody in the morning with good views of the water flowing around.
The restaurant next door is excellent - so please try the kung pao chicken.
Staff are excellent with a good attitude and very hard working to make our stay comfortable as they can. The room itself is catered very well with a good bed and lighting and air con.
Only small improvement required is to add a bottle of milk in the freezer and to concrete the pothole entry to parking and it will be a perfect hotel.
Overall my favourite hotel in samoa and looking forward to returning ahead.

My family just spent eight nights spanning New Year's Eve at this less-known but new, very clean and comfortable hotel hidden in the heart of Apia., right between the Cathedral and the Australian/Canadian embassy.

This location is excellent for exploring Apia by foot. The annual New Years's Eve fireworks on the waterfront are right across the street, as is the Samoan Cultural Center and Tourism Visitor Center.

The rooms here have very comfortable beds, good a/c and very nicely appointed private bathrooms. Free Cantonese breakfast is included at the attached Tauese Restaurant.

We really appreciated the prompt and attentive service of the front desk staff, Rachael and Maria, and especially the Hotel Manager Joyce L.

Joyce was always available to answer our questions, offered valuable guidance, and ensured that our stay was comfortable and pleasant and closely worked with the very thorough and trustworthy housekeeping staff.

Since the moment we arrived on a very late-night flight, we felt welcome and appreciated.

Please consider staying at the Tauese Seaview Hotel if you want to enjoy being in the middle of Apia.

Kaiken kaikkiaan hyvin miellyttävä kokemus. Huone oli siisti ja moderni, respa oli ystävällinen ja aamiainen oli hyvä. Sijainti oli keskeinen.

Ainoa huono puoli oli, että katedraali oli aivan vieressä ja sen kirkonkellot soivat pitkään aamuisin viideltä, mihin heräsi aina aamuyöstä.
