The room was clean and location was great, the food was alright but either side are exceptional restaurants. The let down was the staff i emailed to organise a shuttle before i arrived and never got a response, asked for a map and they when asking about tours got blank looks so went to the information center and organised them myself and transfer when i left myself. The worst was receiving a 4.30am wake up call which i never asked for and then on check out didnt even get an apology for waking me in the middle of the night.
The room, view and the pool
I think the food was not really good tho

Hotel Elisa was a great find. Whilst not 5 star, it is perfectly fine for a stay in Apia. The rooms were large and spotless, the bar was nice and food was tasty. The service is to be commended with reception staff in particular being extremely with several queries and bookings.

We chose this hotel for a convenient overnight stay prior to a 6am flight. The area was convenient and the on-site restaurant was satisfactory. There were also an other couple of restaurant options within about 250m. Room was spacious and basic. Bathroom was adequate.

Poor security, no private car parking, someone stole all 4 wheel caps of my rental car, I paid extra money for that,
Also my booking already paid by credit card,
I did change the room when I arrived, because the condition of the room, I thought will be refunded or deducted from my new bill,
$200 something a night, but no water or milk

Some rude staff members. Room was budget, ripped floor mats and no house keeping for our room/section. Treat everyone and everywhere in ya hotel facility the same; regardless of rooms bought. Bad experience. Ain't going back.
The rooms were sub standard to the average tourist. Bed was ok but everything else left a lot to be desired.
The hotel was half full but when inquiring about an upgrade, they offered a price (Nearly 4 times what I had already paid) which was above the internet rate.
They could have offered a deal and doubled their take for a room rate plus earning some goodwill. I stayed in the room I had paid for.
Food was mediocre and overpriced because you could walk next door to the Amanaki for better foods and beer at better pricing.
I stayed in the budget section of the hotel. It wasn't glamorous and was quiet loud. Fan was nice, and room the was clean. Couldn't ask for much else.

One night stay in one of the cheapest rooms. The reception and 1st floor looked really promising but then we got out to the cheap rooms. The bathrooms were small and dark and the kitchen smelt bad. Our beds were made neatly, but is was the giant corchroach on the wall that made us not stay one more night!
The hotel was the cheapest available so we did not expect much but I would also never recommend this to anyone. The facilities are dirty and basic, I would suggest paying a little (20-40 tala) more to get a place you may want to actually stay for breakfast for!

Excellent location in town overlooking the park and ocean. Closer to market, restaurant, shops, banks, clubs, bars, beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Back section where we were is basic and affordable. Shared bathroom and kitchen area needs an upgrade. New shower curtains, and vinyl maybe? Beds need new sheets and pillows. Be sure to double check your booking and room readiness before arrival. Room wasn't ready when we arrived at 10pm.
The rooms were very comfortable and clean (and cool), but the front desk staff was terrible. They gave away our confirmed and prepaid room, and we had to wait 2 hours for them to get another room ready. They kept trying to charge us more for our prepaid room, even after we had left. The room itself was really comfortable and clean, but the front desk staff was such a nightmare I don't know if I'd stay there again or not.

Eh...just OK
Cheap sleep and no fuss. The room was old, shabby and basic. Bathrooms were scary and shared down the hall. Room one was at the back in the older section and just had one ceiling fan. Overall it was just OK. There is a restaurant downstairs for dinner and breakfast with pretty good food. Hotel is within walking distance of the downtown and flea market. The sea wall is close by for watching the waves. Took at airport shuttle to the hotel for WST 50 and a taxi to the small regional airport for WST 15.

Good size rooms with air conditioning. Pool adequate, would not give us extra towels for pool. The inclusive breakfast was weetbix and toast. Didn't eat in restaurant, went next door to Amanaki (good price and more open/breeze). Booked and paid on WOTIF months in advance but when we arrived they had no idea we were coming, luckily I had copies of the emails. Taxis are cheap and lots of them so no need to walk anywhere in the heat.
Rate and Room size was right,view we asked for was right, and the service provided by the staff was overall polite and genuine.
I have been around other countries famous for their tourism attractions....Hotel Elisa is on par with most.
See you next time.

Close to e verything short walk to apia central.
all good! Stayed here 2 years ago will stay again.Staff was very helpful and courteous .
At arrival, got given a budget room. This is not stated when we buy online. Room was hideous so we got upgraded. This is not hotel standards. Communication skills are bad! With the upgrade we got free breakfast, there were different menus, we weren't told and was given a menu we had to pay for. Useless! Will not recommend this hotel to anyone. Ended up costing us 700 tala for 3 nights when we paid 180nzd for 3nights. Not a happy customer!
