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.

It was nice and clean, had lovely staff and we enjoyed a great sea view from our room. We were allowed to keep our room to 11.30am on the day we left. We did so appreciate that. The breakfast food was plentyful and nice variety. The pizzas are good for evening meal.

Great and cozy family-style hotel with very personalized service. Comfortable rooms (go for the ones with a view!), great running or walking along the sea in mornings or evenings, and quite decent pizza as a treat for dinner.

We had a fantastic stay at Little Italy. My husband and I stayed for 14 nights. Our room was immaculately cleaned every day. All staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant food was absolutely delicious. We were so happy with EVERYTHING...can’t say enough to recommend it. Would highly recommend Little Italy as the number one place to stay in Tonga.

Affordable & Great food
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.

Quiet and Relaxing.
Loved staying at the Little Italy Hotel. It's quiet location made for a relaxing stay. Loved the view from our sea view balcony. You could open the door on the balcony for an awesome island cool breeze. They have very good wifi service in the hotel for those needing to keep up with family and friends oversees. Their breakfast is simple but very yummy. The only thing missing from the hotel is an elevator to get to the rooms located on the 2nd and 3rd level floors.

great location, excellent service, and really good food. Would definitely stay here again. Food took a long time to get to the table, but i guess this is island time. Only issue is that there are no lifts or accessibility for those with disabilities and/or the elderly, which is a long climb up to the top floor.

Hotel was very comfortable. The location is directly across from the water so the views are lovely from the front of the hotel. It is a bit further from the CBD but quite walkable. The restaurant is very good and definitely worth a visit!
