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.
