    Being located on a busy road, the traffic can get a bit loud, especially when the local lads want to show off their subwoofers and Samoan stylings. But that settles down very quickly at night, and there's a general sense of law and order with a couple of the businesses employing friendly night watchmen to help keep things quiet. It was a hot time of year too, and it's possible to feel a bit trapped in the air-conditioned room - but that's true of all of Apia in March. This is not a luxury hotel, but it's very good value and the small size and good attitude made it much more personal than some other experiences I've had in Samoa.

    It's a small guesthouse located immediately above a clothes shop, and run as part of a mixed business model. Although the facilities are modest, I thought the staff were very welcoming with a strong personal touch. They served a home cooked breakfast every day, with little variations (banana cakes one day, eggs the next), and always fresh fruit. With only six rooms, they quickly learned the names and food/coffee preferences of guests and looked after us. When I asked for help with replacing a shirt button, they fixed it for me at no charge. When I pointed out a maintenance issue, it was addressed straight away. When I asked for a desk to do my work on, they brought it into the room instantly. The value for money was also exceptional. Talofa Inn is in a very central location, near shops and major roads, and directly over the road is a supermarket that makes good coffee and great smoothies in their bakery section.

    I had a private shower, but it was not in the room. I had to exit the room to get there. It's a minor annoyance.

    Free and reliable wifi, a rarity in the Pacific islands. Excellent location near the market in the city centre. Clean, comfortable rooms. Staff were friendly in offering breakfast.

    - Dusty floor (even if all guests have to remove shoes) although cleanliness in general is pretty good - Noise from neighbours (not a problem for me but for light sleepers)

    - Location close to Apia waterfront, cathedral and many shops and restaurants, including McDonald's that opens on Sunday - Water dispenser available in the kitchen - Friendliness of staff - 24hr security

    We couldn't figure out how to turn off the AC...

    The rooms were clean and the beds comfy. Good aircon in rooms. Shared kitchen, which we could have used to cook meals (but didn't as we were only there for one night). Supermarket is across the street, good shops, markets and restaurants within easy walking distance. Staff were very helpful and efficient in arranging car hire for us.

    Only thing that was not 10/10 was the noise levels as some guests check in during the night and staff/guest have quite loud conversation which travels right through the walls/doors which woke us up.

    A lovely little inn, close to the main town centre, an easy walk. Breakfast was delicious, the pancakes were incredible. The staff were so friendly. Room was good, with a/c.

    Location was excellent, in city centre. Staff were very helpful, arranging car hire, airport transfers and providing information. Air con in the room was very welcome. Tariff included a free continental breakfast. Lounge areas were great for meeting up with other travellers.

    The front rooms get street noise particularly at night, if you have the windows open. Also the front rooms get the hot afternoon sun, so make sure you close the curtains early. Otherwise it was a good stay.

    Good location in the middle of town. Produce market nearby, supermarket across then road is great, makes great coffee and has a brilliant bakery. The Inn was comfortable and although there was no en-suite for some of the rooms, there are room specific bathrooms just down the hall. Nice plentiful breakfast and the rear deck was nice on hot afternoons as it caught the afternoon breeze

    Just didn''t like the noise especially from outside in the morning. But it's understandable because ppl come to work. Also one of the bed was very uncomfortable. The floorboard kept falling down but otherwise manageable.

    I really like the location, friendly staff, clean room, air con was working perfectly., shower perfect . Already booked again for my next visit.

    The entrance and signage is unattractive, but once we got past that, we were well-satisfied with this accommodation.

    A modest B&B which had an excellent cooked breakfast included in the rate. Great location right in Apia CBD, walking distance or short taxi ride from everything.
