This is a great little budget hotel. It’s above a clothing shop which they also run. It’s in the center of town and the ladies running the place are available from 7 AM to 7 PM. 

If there is a late or early check in they sleep over.  It’s important to communicate your arrival time if you intend to check in  outside of those times. Note that if you book via Booking.com they don’t respond to messages you leave there. They do promptly respond to emails however.

The rooms are very small and the traffic noise is bad as the hotel is above a main road. You’ll want to pack a good pair of ear plugs (preferably the wax ones you can burrow over your ear drums). You’ll need them for the rest of your Pacific trip anyway( cars; roosters; dogs; loud music).

While you’re at it, also bring eye shades as the curtains let in light.

Also, I didn’t know what “private bathroom” means. It’s not en-suite. You get a private toilet and bathroom down the hall that is locked and only you have the keys for. Not the greatest set up but doable. 

Everything is spotlessly clean. There is a washer and dryer and staff will do your laundry for an extra charge.  The room comes with a generous 2 GB a night of WIFI. If you need more it costs 10 Tala for another 2 GB.

The room also has a TV and fridge.

Breakfast is included: cereal; oatmeal and coffee or tea. They kindly also made me a scrambled egg for free. So kind. You can use their kitchen and cook for yourself if you want to.

The best thing is the staff. The ladies are very kind and truly want you to have a good stay.

You’ll also get your meet other guests there as the dining area is communal. Nice and interesting people: overseas Samoans visiting family or attending church conferences; foreign NGO workers and the  odd tourist.

I’d stay here again.

Comfy, Clean, Central Stay but bring ear plugs!

My arrival at Samoa scheduled for 5.30am and the official check-in at the planned hotel at 3pm, I decided to book a reasonably priced accomodation already for the night that had passed. My choice fell on the 'Talofa Inn', mainly due to various positive comments. 

There had been quite a correspondance regarding the transfer from the airport by shuttle service, but that didn't work, so I took a taxi for WST 60, which was not too bad. After a nice breakfast with plenty of fruit, served at the table, I was shown room No 4, which was quite big, but facing the main road, with quite a lot of traffic during the day, but not too bad during the night.

The accomodation in a quite central location consists of only 6 rooms, all quite different. There was a bathroom with shower attached, but the washbasin was in the bedroom. There was enough storage space everywhere. It had a bar of soap and in the shower a liquid soap dispenser. Shampoo has to be taken along.

When I arrived the lady (Tsafea) told me that checkout is at 10am, but when I had a look at the contract and at the hotels information leaflet, it definitely said 11am. The next day another lady (Leausa) was in charge and I was able to leave my luggage by the reception until a taxi took me to my next accomodation.

For the start of my stay

I chose Talofa Inn for its central location and good reviews here and I wasn't disappointed.  It is located about 10 minutes walk to the flea market/bus terminal and about 5 minutes walk to the fresh produce market.  There's a small supermarket just opposite Talofa Inn and a Chinese fastfood restaurant (which is also open on Sundays) just 2 blocks away.  

The room was clean with a fan, air conditioning and a sink.  The single room I stayed in didn't have an en-suite bathroom but a bathroom allocated for my exclusive use was just down the hallway.  

There's free wifi of 300MB daily but there was no TV in the room although there was a TV with bad reception in the common area.  There's a communal kitchen and they serve a slightly varied breakfast everyday - one morning I was served a fried egg with fruits while another morning I was served pancakes and fruits.  

The best thing about Talofa Inn is its staff, they were very helpful in offering information/directions and arranging transportation.  They were also extremely polite and friendly.

central location and very helpful staff

Excellent central location in central Apia.  Customer service very friendly and helpful.  Room had all we needed but was very cramped and the window was very small.  Lots of street noise.  Tropical Breakfast with eggs and use of kitchen

Good stay

Good location in central Apia. Staff is very friendly and helpful! I asked several questions, and they were always good with the answers. I asked about a tour of the island, and they contacted a driver/guide to take me. Rented a car from them as well - price was discounted and therefore cheaper than I could have gotten on my own.

Room was adequate. Bed was comfortable and plenty of hot water and pressure in the shower. A/C kept the room plenty cool. Breakfast in the mornings was always with a smile - it was mainly fruits, and each day they had something different to go with the fruit. Not a fancy breakfast at all, but standard for the culture.

Taxi stand and grocery store directly across the street were very convenient.

Good location, great staff

Airport transfers, 8 nights stay, 2018 model rental car. 20% discount 4 car/fashion shop. Staff r AMAZING made stay SO COMFORTABLE LIKE HOME. Room and Inn v. clean, large comfortable beds, ceiling fan/air con. Good shower pressures. Free wifi yummy tropical breakfasts night security central location supermarket across the road. Slept thru the nights.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

We stayed here for one night after our international flight.

Room was clean and comfortable with everything that you could need. 

Customer service was good. I contacted them a few days before arrival to arrange a hire car and ferry booking (which I was unfortunately too late for) and received very prompt and helpful replies to emails.

Can’t comment on the quality of breakfast as we left early the next morning. 

Good customer service, convenient location 

We stayed two nights in this very welcoming hotel. Nice, clean with a familiar atmosphere. The location is also very good, close to city center and major sites of interest like the cultural village etc.

Welcoming

Cheap and cheerful, great location everything in Apia is within walking distance. 
There is a supermarket across the road and the flea market is a 2 minute walk.
Leausa the host is AWESOME, she is so nice & accommodating. 
Guests also get a discount on car rental which i took advantage of and this made things so much easier getting around the island. 

While wifi is free it is limited to 1gig a day, so if you intend on using it heavily you will go through it quite quick
