GOOD Based on 91 reviews Posted on Devin RVerified Great Home Base for exploring Nuku'alofa and Tongatapu My partner and I had a great week-long stay at Simon's Place. The Deluxe room was very large, nice and comfortable with a private outdoor area and private en-suite. Breakfast each morning (including Sundays!) was simple and tasty. Staff were helpful and supportive with rides to and from the airport, laundry, etc. Highly recommend Simon's Place for a visit to Nuku'alofa and Tongatapu.Posted on Brent SVerified Nice place Rooms very clean and comfortable. Well maintained buildings and grounds. The staff are friendly and kind eager to help.Posted on Tsuyoshi NVerified Comfortable hotel The basic facilities are in place, including a clean room, a warm shower, and plenty of hot water. Wifi is also fine. The breakfast is simple, but it is available every day, including Sundays. Since electricity is provided by solar system, it is not affected by power outages, but if the weather is bad for a long time, the shower may not heat up.Posted on Norine BVerified Do not over look Simon’s Place Simon’s place is in the perfect spot to wander about the island. The staff is amazing, super friendly and helpful. After getting lost trying to find a recommended vanilla vendor, owner of the hotel gave me a lift. Simon’d place will go out of their way for your stay to be comfortable. Then there is the restaurant!! The banana split is the best!Posted on Kristina NVerified Great rooms, fantastic staff, good location The staff at Simon's place are fantastic - super friendly, and happy to help with anything. We had to print out a few documents last minute just before we left and there was no stress or drama. We arrived at the same time as a decent thunderstorm that brought some flooding with it and the staff dealt with this really well and made sure we were ok. The rooms are large, light, and have huge comfortable beds and pillows. The bathrooms look like they've recently been renovated, and are a good size with nice open showers. Our rooms all had their own private patio out the back, and the air con works quickly and well. Breakfast is good, the dinners in the small restaurant are great and really well priced - you'll be full afterwards as well. The location is great - close to town, and if you want to eat elsewhere for dinner there are some good places close by to choose from. We felt like family when we left, and I will definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Tonga!Posted on Jemima GVerified Excellent accomodation Great stay at Simon’s place - front staff super accomodating and helpful when our plans had to change last minute due to weather. Breakfast simple but tasty, room has all the staples and the air con is fabulous. Easy to contact via phone and payment can be cash or transfer. Would recommend.Posted on PaigeVerified Friendly, family orientated motel This is a small motel, away from the busy districts yet an easy walk to the shops and beach. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond in making my stay a great joy. I felt welcomed and safe, and a part of their family. The rooms were clean and airy, with a small courtyard equipped with a clothesline (great for swimmers and small amounts of hand washing). I particularly enjoyed writing a message on their dining room floor! I would email simonsplacetonga@gmail.com or info@simonsplacetonga.com before booking your trip for some extra tipsPosted on Amy AVerified Super Staff The staff at Simon's Place always go above and beyond during our stay. This was our third time staying with them. Lots of yummy snacks available from the restaurant. Nice and safe with security staying overnight. Look forward to returning.Posted on IlaVerified Camere ampie e pulite Camere ampie, pulite, silenziose e con un bel bagno. Posizione comoda, vicino alla strada principale e a banche, supermercati e ristoranti. Colazione dolce e salata, un po’ essenziale e con poca frutta. Personale cortese, disponibile, di grande aiuto anche per organizzare tour o transfer per l’aeroporto. Le stanze si aprono sul cortile e c’è il servizio di sicurezza notturno con vigilantes, utile anche se si arriva fuori orario.Posted on deannitaVerified Wonderful stay at Simon’s place Absolutely lovely stay at Simon’s Place Cute room with delicious breakfast and a great location Excellent communication with Cecelia They helped us book taxis and tours and helped us find some delicious restaurants My mom and I couldn’t have been happier Definitely recommend this boutique hotel

More Than a Guesthouse
Built on love, legacy, and resilience, Simon’s Place was named after Simon of Cyrene — the man who helped carry the cross for Jesus. Just as he carried a burden, our family built this guesthouse to carry one another, and to welcome every traveler not just as a visitor, but as part of our story.
At Simon’s Place, you don’t just stay — you belong.
